108 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Kallitrichia pendula, spec. nov. — Similar to the last, except that all 

 the white markings here are dusky, only a few scattering pure white scales 

 appearing. The costal mark is not so rigid along the inner edge. The 

 white median vein of albavena disappears, and in the region of the 

 reniform we have a pendulum-shaped spot hanging from the costa. 

 secondaries dusky. (Plate, fig. 6.) 



Described from one specimen, male, which expands 30 mm. 

 Habitat, Arizona. Type in collection of the author. 



It should be noted that in this species the costa is not so rigidly 

 straight as in the last, being slightly bent near the base. When other 

 specimens of this are found, I should not be surprised to find in some 

 specimens that the median vein would show brownish, separating the 

 metallic area, as was noted in the male of Basilodes territaiis. 



Kallitrichia sagittalba., spec, nov. — (Plate, fig. 7.) AntenncC 

 brownish. Head, thorax and body white. (I have called the bodies of 

 these three species white, because what scales seem fresh are white, but 

 as the bodies are in poor condition and somewhat greased, when fresh 

 they may be brownish.) Primaries : solid metallic pea green. A wide 

 white band occupies the costa, continuing as a narrow white band all 

 along the outer margin and around the angle, where it is gradually lost. 

 The outer terminals of three veins reach the outer margin as faint white 

 lines. The upper of these extends from the costal band, and thus 

 encloses a bit of the metallic colouring near the apex. The other two are 

 the points of a prominent white sagittate mark which occupies the centre 

 of the wing. Fringes full and white. Secondaries dusky, more so in the 

 female. Male expands 25 mm.; female, 28 mm. Habitat, Arizona. 

 Types, male and female, in collection of the author. 



OBITUARY. 



On the 1 8th of February, Mr. Johnson Pettit died at Buffalo, N. 

 Y., and was buried a few days later at Grimsby, Ont. For many years 

 Mr. Pettit was a most diligent and successful collector of Coleoptera in 

 the neighbourhood of Grimsby, and was well known amongst Ento- 

 mologists both in this country and the United States. After forming a 

 very complete collection of the beetles of Ontario, so far as knov/n at 

 that time, he gave up the pursuit and turned his attention to Geology. 

 Subsequently he sold his cabinet of insects to the Entomological Society 

 of Ontario, at a nominal price, in order that it might be kept in a place of 

 safety and preserved from destruction. His work was characterized by 

 remarkable neatness and painstaking accuracy.
