THE CANADIAN KNTOMOLOGIST. 219 



Genus Callarctia Pack. 

 1864 — Pack., Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil., III., 114. 



This genus is unknown to me in nature, unless Mr. Stretch's reference, 

 hereinafter cited, is correct. In that case it needs no special character- 

 ization. , 



C. orfiata Pack. 



1864 — Pack., Proc. Ent. Soc, Phil., III., 115, Callarctia. 

 1882 — Stretch, Papilio, II., 147, =^A?-dia achaia l 

 Habitat — San Mateo, Calif 



Mr. Stretch's note, giving the above synonymical reference, seems to 

 have been carefully made, and the description shows nothing to the con- 

 trary. The reference bears all the more weight since Mr. Stretch is not 

 a Ium[)er, and has shown in the past great deference to Dr. Packard's 

 dicta in this family. Grote & Robinson's species must, therefore, drop as 

 a synonym, while Dr. Packard's genus must fall. I leave the positive 

 reference to others.
