NOTE ON SESTA ARCTIC A, Beuten. 



BY WM. BEUTENMULLER. 



In advance of my forthcoming memoir of the Sesiidw, I published 

 in the current volume of the Canadian Entomologist, page 208, a 

 description of a new Sesia from Alaska, but through a curious blunder 

 on my part omitted to mention the name of the species, and herewith 

 propose to call it Sesia arctica. 



Mailed December 10, rgoo.
