118 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



streak is wanting in the specimen. The uniformly dark griseous primaries 

 have the median lines alone visible ; these are narrow, black, approximate, 

 of the usual K-shape, fused by a black dash below median vein. A series 

 of terminal narrow black streaks. Fringes long, silky gray. Hind wings 

 almost uniformly fuscous with whitish fringes, beneath paler with traces of 

 a transverse line and a discal dot. Fore wings fuscous, with an outer 

 line. Thorax and head like fore wings in color. Expanse 30 m. m. 

 Hab. Nevada, Mr. Hy. Edwards, No. 2745. 



The statement of Mr. Morrison, in the May number of the Canadian 

 Entomologist, that Homohadena induta was the same as his H. retro- 

 versa, I read with surprise. From the description of the latter, after 

 careful study, I had supposed it a redescription of H. kappa. Mr. Mor- 

 rison says of retroversa : " coloration of H. badisfriga" This is not true 

 of induta, which wants the brown tinge entirely. He says the ordinary 

 spots have " broad white aniiuli." This cannot be said of induta. 

 Again, " the basal streak is obsolete," This is not true of induta, but 

 of kappa. '•' The posterior wings are as in badistriga, etc./' he gives as 

 another character, but it will not apply to induta. Mr. Morrison departs 

 often from some more usual terms for color, which on that account renders 

 it difficult at times to determine an insect from his descriptions. I feel 

 that I have a sufficient excuse for my description of induta, while I am 

 not prepared to admit the truth of Mr. Morrison's proposition that he has 

 originally intended my species under the name of retroversa. I am not 

 aware of induta occurring in Missouri, while Mr. Riley thought from a 

 casual examination of H. kappa that he had taken that species in that 

 State.

We would invite the especial attention of all American Entomologists 

 to the following paragraph, which appears in the circular recently issued 

 by the Secretary of the A. A. A. S. : 



" The attention of persons specially interested in Entomology is 

 directed to the action taken by the Entomologists at the Hartford
