THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 241 



description is a very good one of the type seen by me. The peculiarity 

 about the specimen is that it was very fresh when caught, and the wings, 

 apparently, had not become entirely hardened. When placed upon the 

 spreading-board they broke near the base and formed a little shoulder, 

 such as almost every one who has ever spread insects has found himself 

 compelled to deal with. The insect was well spread in other respects, 

 and the little break of the wings was almost concealed by the heavy 

 vestiture of the thorax. With its bright colours and the comparatively 

 broad, short wings, produced by the imperfection just mentioned, the 

 specimen has quite a distinctive appearance, and it was in seeking to 

 locate just exactly what this distinction consisted of, that I might place the 

 species into its proper place in a synoptic table, that I found that it did 

 not differ in any respect from olivacea. I have in my collection at the 

 present time a specimen which agrees in brightness of colour and general 

 appearance with comis, but being fully matured and with the wings at full 

 length, shows its relation to olivacea at a glance. I would again call 

 attention to the extreme desirability of verifying Mr. Grote's statements 

 before accepting them when they involve a change in nomenclature or in 

 the synonymy.
