THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST, 103 



The bibliography of this species really seems like a " Comedy of 

 Errors." Dr. Fitch placed it in a wrong genus ; Mr. Walsh removed it to 

 T/ie/axes and refers to N. Y. Rep., ii., 257, instead of ii., 347. In the 

 " American Entomologist " it is indexed for/. 224, instead of /. /Oc?. 

 Mr. Packard (Guide, p. 525) mentions Thelaxes tdmicola Walsh, while on 

 the next page he speaks of Pemphigus ulmicola (Fitch), and refers to 

 figure 5.25, which is from an electrotype of the identical wood-cut first 

 published by Messrs. Walsh and Riley in the " American Entomologist," 

 under the name of Thelaxes ulmicola Fitch. Mr. Packard's figure 525 

 is, therefore, evidently my C. ulmicola, and, indeed, I have so far failed to 

 find any other mention of a Pemphigus ulmicola Fitch.
