38 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



farthest western point I know. Besides examples of Nomenia tmipecta, 

 Pears., from California, there are three specimens belonging to this 

 interesting genus, taken by Dr. Barnes at Glenwood Springs, Colorado, 

 which he suggested should constitute a new species. After a careful study 

 I cannot accept this view, but have designated it : 



Nomeiiia unipecta, var. seamda, Pears. — It differs from the type in 

 these respects : About one-third larger, the body and fore wings of a 

 dark, dusky-slate, without the sheen of California examples ; hind wings 

 somewhat lighter. On both wings the lines are sharper, and on the fore, 

 wings the brown scales which follow the extra basal and discal lines are 

 more evident. Beneath I can discover no difference from my dark speci- 

 mens taken at Pasadena. Its darker opaque hue, sharper lines, and 

 larger size distinguish it from typical iinipeda. 



The genus Euchoeca contains other errors. For instance, albovitfaia, 

 Guen., has nothing in common with this group, either in appearance or 

 habits. It goes into the genus Trichodezia, Warren, of which it is the 

 type. Dr. Hulst failed to observe the distinguishing marks of this genus, 

 and therefore discarded it.* They are present as sexual characters in the 

 male, and quite apparent in fresh specimens. The venation of hind wings 

 is also quite distinct. With this may go Calif orniata, but I have no male 

 of it for comparison. A later paper will be devoted to the genus as a whole. 



Association of Economic Entomologists. — The recent meeting 



in New Orleans was a very successful one, over thirty members being 



present. The next meeting will be held next winter in New York 



City, in conjunction with the A. A, A. S. The following officers were 

 elected for the ensuing year: 



President, A. H. Kirkland, Maiden, Mass.; ist Vice-President, W. 



E. Britton, New Haven, Conn.; 2nd Vice-President, H. A. Morgan, 



Knoxville, Tenn.; Secretary-Treasurer, A. F. Burgess, Columbus, Ohio. 



For Member Committee on Nomenclature, to serve three years : Herbert 



Osborn, Columbus, Ohio. For Members Council, A. A. A. S.: H. E. 



Summers, Ames, Iowa, and E. A. Schwartz, Washington, D. C.
