THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 347 



Phiepsius j'osea, n. sp. — Form o{ humidus, but much smaller. Colour 

 red. Length 5.25 mm., width 1.5 mm. 



Vertex flat, very slightly depressed posteriorly ; half wider than long, 

 nearly twice longer on middle than against eye; anterior margin thick but 

 foliacious ; front narrow, wedge-shaped ; clypeus small, linear. Pro- 

 notum little longer than the vertex. Elytra moderately stout, compressed 

 behind. 



Colour : ground colour pale yellowish olive, but so thickly sprinkled 

 with irregular spots and blotches of blood-red as to give a red appearance 

 to the whole insect, both above and below. The vertex and scutellum 

 have a more decided yellowish cast. The eyes slaty brown. In the light 

 specimens, the red spots are gathered on the nervures of the wings, but 

 in the darker ones the nervures are indistinct. 



Genitalia : ultimate ventral segment of the female half longer than 

 the penultimate ; the posterior margin roundingly truncate, with the 

 lateral angles rounded off; male valve very small, rounding, almost con- 

 cealed under the long, ultimate segment ; plates broad at base, semicir- 

 cularly rounding, then produced into long, style-like, attingent points. 



]3escribed from two males and one female, from the mountains of 

 Colorado. One specimen each from Alder, North Park, and Dutch 

 George's, on the Poudre. 



CHANGE OF PREOCCUPIED NAMES. 



(i) Parasa prasina, Dyar, Psyche VIII., p. 273, 1898 (Central 

 America), is preoccupied by Parasa prasina, Alph., Deut. ent. Zeit., 

 1895, p. 186 (Western China). The Central American species may be 

 called Parasa ivellesca. 



(2) The genus Callarctia, Leech, Trans. Ent. Soc, Lond., 1899, p. 

 168 (West China), is preoccupied by Callarctia, Packard, Proc. Ent. Soc, 

 Phil., III., p. 114, 1864 (North America). The Chinese genus maybe 

 called Euleechia. Harrison G. Dyar. 



A General Index to the thirty volumes of the Annual Reports of 

 the Entomological Society of Ontario, extending from 1870 to 1899, has 

 been prepared by the Editor of this magazine, and is now in course of 

 publication by the Ontario Department of Agriculture. It will be ready 

 for distribution before the end of the year, and will, no doubt, be of great 

 value to all who have occasion to consult these Reports.
