36 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



The basal half line and fringes being black with the broad basal stripe 

 would point to this insect being a variety of A. Behrii, as also the black 

 body parts, but the downward curving of the sub-median stripe before 

 reaching posterior angle ally it to Achaia ; unlike either of these, it has no 

 yellow along the posterior margin. 



A pate la Fell n a Grote. 



Mr. Grote describes this insect in vol. 5, No. 2, page 208, of the 

 Government Survey Bulletins, comparing it with its ally, A. Lepusculina. 

 Having several bred specimens, I make here a few additions to Mr. 

 Grote's description. 



The fore wings are distinctly blueish-gray, and the marks are more 

 obliterate than in the usual Lepusculina. The female has scarcely a trace 

 of the sub-terminal line, even in whitish shading ; but one male has the 

 sub-terminal line nearly as distinct as in Lepusculina, like that interspace 

 ally arcuate, but bending inward only about half as far on the second 

 median interspace, and consequently the line is not so far from the outer 

 margin, below this vein as in Lepusculina. The psi mark is less distinct. 

 Reniform obsolete, except a curved mark, part of the inner or basal 

 portion of the annulus. One male has on one wing almost a perfect 

 orbicular but faint. It is elliptical, the long diameter parallel with costa 

 and much narrower than the same in Lepusculina. Hind wings of male 

 white, soiled terminally and along the veins ; of female so much soiled as 

 to be gray. The fringes of both wings concolorous, checkered with black. 



CANADIAN COLEOPTERA. 

 The Council of the Entomological Society of Ontario has decided 

 upon rearranging the Society's collection of Coleoptera according to 

 Henshaw's List. This will necessitate the entire reprinting of the " List 

 of Canadian Coleoptera," and as it is desirable that the new list should 

 be as full and as correct as possible, our friends will confer a great fa-vour 

 by forwarding to the Secretary a list of all new names of Canadian beetles 

 that they may have obtained by correct identification. As it is necessary 

 that the list should be placed in the hands of the printers with as little 

 delay as possible, our readers are desired to reply to this request at once. 

 Henshaw's numbers will be printed on the new list, which will be for sale 

 in sets when completed.
