THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 35 



Stroke, and sure enough. I got it. I took a third at that time sitting on 

 the trunk of a tree, which I left with Mr. Kihnan. The following season 

 he took one or two, and last spring he found some chrysalids under moss, 

 from which he raised a pair. On visiting Prof. Kellicott, of Buffalo, Mr. 

 Kilman left with him an example, that he might obtain its name. Mr. 

 Kilman now writes to me that Prof. Kellicott has identified it as the 

 Apatelodes angelica of Grote's Check List, with hyalinoptindata Pack, as 

 a synonym, which latter name would have been more appropriate. Prof. 

 Kellicott conveys the information that it is described and figured in the 

 Proc. of the Ent. Soc. of Phil., iii., 322, plate iv., fig. i. It is quite a fine 

 moth. Of my pair the female measures 1"/% inches in expanse at the apex, 

 and 2yi at the sub-apical angle ; the sub-apical is excavate. Edges of 

 wings toothed, color of front wings lavender, with two light brown bands 

 across them, the outer one continued on the hind wing ; outside the latter 

 are a row of brown dots on the nervules of the front wings. Near the 

 apex are two transparent spots square in form, the one nearest the costa 

 more than double the size of the one behind it. Color of hind wings 

 light brownish-gray, with a heavy marginal band approaching the color of 

 the front wing ; an elevated longitudinal brown stripe in the middle of the 

 thorax. 



The male is but i^ at the apex, and ii\ at the apical angle, in expanse 

 of wing ; it is the same in color as the female, but less distinct in its 

 markings. 



The attitude of the one I found sitting on the trunk of the tree re- 

 minded me very much of Paonias exccecatiis when at rest. It stood high 

 upon its legs, with its wings slightly spread and its abdomen elevated 

 above their level. 



I should mention that Mr. Johnston, of Hamilton, took a specimen in 

 the season of 1881. 



HIBERNATION OF COLEOPTERA. 



BY JOHN HAMILTON, M. D., ALLEGHENY, PA. 



The condition in which Coleoptera pass the winter is a subject on 

 Avhich there are in American literature but few recorded observations. That 

 no species hibernates in the egg stage is highly probable, though in all the
