light at eleven o'clock one night. The young larva emerges near apex of 

 egg, and usually eats little, if any more of the shell than sufficient to 

 allow of his exit. The larva? fed on grass. 



I make no citations from Mr. Frohawk's article. It should be read

ADDITIONS TO THE LIST OF CANADIAN LEPIDOPTERA. 



BY J. ALSTON MOFFAT, LONDON. ONT. 



During the years 1891 and 1892, I have received the following names 

 new to the Canadian list. Some of the specimens have been in my 

 possession for several years, as I hoped to secure others of the same kind, 

 whereby I might obtain their names without inconveniencing anyone by a 

 request for their return. But they remain uniques with me to the present 

 time ; solitary witnesses to the fact that they are to be got, if looked for 

 in the right place at the right time. 



The gentlemen to whose kindness I am indebted for the identification 

 of my material are : Prof. J. B. Smith in the Bombycidae and Noctuidae, 

 Rev. Dr. Hulst for the Geometridae, and Prof. C. H. Fernald in the 

 Micros. I have followed the sequence and nomenclature of Prof. Smith's 

 list of 1891. 



Scoleocampa liburna, Geyer. 



I captured this specimen at Ridgeway in July, 18S5. And I see by 

 the Buffalo list of 1891 it is therein reported as " taken occasionally in 

 Lancaster, at light," by Mr. E. P. VanDuzee. I am not aware of its 

 having being taken in Canada since. 



Epiglcea decliva, Grote. 



A single specimen taken at Hamilton eight years ago, in the autumn, 

 when looking for Scopelosomas and Lithophanes. 



Xylina tepida, Grote. 



A single specimen taken at London, September 29th, 1891. On one of 

 my visits to Mr. Grote in Buffalo, whilst he was naming some Lithophanes 

 for me, he called my attention especially to this species as '■' one that 

 ought to be found with us," and yet this is the first intimation that I have 

 received of its being taken in Canada. 



Litognatha litophora, Grote. 



Herminia petrea/is, Grote. 



Hypena damnosalis, Walker,
