240 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



this year at Cincinnatti ; and Mr. Geo. W. Peck took one this season in 

 New Jersey. This makes twelve in all that have been taken in the United 

 States, besides the original one in the Collection of the Entomological 

 Society of Philadelphia, that I am aware of. If others have taken it in 

 other localities, I hope they will report. Some who have not seen the 

 examples taken here and elsewhere, have hesitated to believe that they 

 were the true m anno fa fa of Edwards, but a glance at them is enough to 

 convince any one of their identity. I have not seen the original type, but 

 our examples tally exactly with the published description. It is a large, 

 showy and uniformly defined species, entirely distinct, and cannot well be 

 mistaken for or confounded with any other species.
