154 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Leucorhinia Hudsonica ; New Brunswick. 



Aeschna constricta, recorded in the Ontario list, is also found in Nova 

 Scotia. 



The above brief list of 43 species from Ontario and 13 from other 

 portions of Canada, embraces, we believe, all that are known to occur in 

 our Dominion. In view of the great number of insects belonging to this 

 interesting order which occur throughout Canada, we hope that some of 

 our collectors will devote a portion of their leisure moments towards more 

 thoroughly working up this long neglected order of insects. 



DESCRIPTION OF PACHNOBIA ORILLIANA. 



BY AUG. R. GROTE,A. M., 



Director of the Museum, Buffalo Society Natural Sciences. 



Both sexes of a species of Pachnobia have been collected by Mr. Geo. 

 Norman, at Orillia, which I propose to call by the name of orilliana. It 

 is evidently allied to Agrotis hyperborea, which I know only from Millie're's 

 and Herrich-Schaeffer's illustrations. It looks at first sight like a species 

 of Graphiphora (Taeniocampa). 



All the tibiae are spinose. The head is sunken, eyes naked, abdomen 

 short. The wings are wide, the male antennae shortly pectinate, setose. 

 The color is not unlike that of Graph, incerta, but more olivaceous. 

 There is no basal dash. The color is paler, carneous gray, like the 

 thorax, to the angulated median shade, beyond which the median space is 

 olivaceous brown. The orbicular is large, spherical, concolorous, with a 

 central brown dot and a brown ring. The claviform is suffused with 

 deep brown, prominent, attaining the median shade. The reniform lies 

 in the deeper color of the median space posteriorly, concolorous, kidney- 

 shaped, darker stained inferiorly, well sized. The t. a. line is outwardly 

 oblique, thrice waved, brown. The t. p. line is obsoletely geminate, the 

 pale interior shade showing, of the usual shape, succeeded by a pale 

 shading on the subterminal space which intrudes on the deep brown 

 ground color outwardly like a finger below costal region. The deep 

 brown color of the s. t. space shows the costal dots plainly and extends 

 downwardly narrowly within and along the s. t. line, outside of the pale
