except that the antenntu are liglit yellowish beneath, much more distinctly 

 so than in the case of the other sex. 



The female of this species was described in my Revision of the 

 Nematinie of North America (Bulletin No. 3, technical series, U. S. Dept. 

 Agr., Div. Ent., p. 67, No. 35), from a specimen bred March 22nd, from 

 an oak larva taken at Ithaca, N. Y., by Mr. Trelease. Mr. Dyar has 

 handed me two specimens, a male and female, reared from solitary larvi« 

 taken at Brook Haven, L. I., resting on the edges of the leaves of Querais 

 rt/^<?, the adults issuing April 15th, 1898. Opportunity is now taken to 

 characterize the male insect.

Male. — Length, 4 mm.; moderately robust and shining; clypeus 

 distinctly and broadly emarginate, lateral lobes small, sharp pointed ; 

 vertex smooth, with the walls of ocellar basin indistinct or subobsolete, 

 and the frontal crest scarcely raised ; fovea semicircular, distinctly 

 defined; antennae short, robust, joint 3 slightly larger than joints 4 

 and 5 ; procidentia short, scarcely projecting ; claws deeply notched ; 

 venation normal. Colour in general black ; face, beginning with the 

 frontal crest and including the cheeks and orbits (interrupted opposite 

 ocelli), pallid; pronotum, tegulae and venter for the most part, light 

 resinous, inclined to reddish yellow ; line across the middle and the upper 

 and posterior edge of meso-epimera black ; base of posterior coxae black ; 

 tarsi, especially posterior pair, slightly infuscated ; wings hyaline ; veins 

 light brown ; costa and stigma yellowish, nearly hyaline. 



The female of this insect was described in my Revision of the 

 Nematin^e of North America (1. c, p. 90), from two specimens collected 

 in Texas. Mr. Dyar has recently reared a male and female of this species 

 from solitary edge-feeding larvpe taken on black oak ( Quercus coccinea) 

 at Bellport, L, I,, and the male is now characterized. (See description of 

 larva, Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc, Vol. VI., June, 1898, p. 123 )

Papilio brevicauda, Saunders. — This rare butterfly, which has hitherto 

 only been recorded from Newfoundland, Anticosti, Labrador, Gaspe, and 

 a few other localities on the Bay of Chaleur, has now been found at 

 Kamouraska, a village about eighty-five miles below Quebec, by Mr. A. 

 F. Winn, of Montreal. He found the larv;« feeding upon the leaves of 

 Archangelica, and also obtained eggs from the female butterflies. The 

 insect has now been carried through all its stages, as related by Mr. Winn 

 in the paper he read at the annual meeting of the Entomological Society 

 of Ontario in Montreal. This paper will be published in the forthcoming 

 Annual Report.
