THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



have been examined by the writer. Whether some of these are really 

 worthy of specific rank can only be found out by breeding. Undoubtedly, 

 however, some which are now recognized as distinct by some students, 

 will, when they have been reared in numbers from the egg, be found to be 

 simply forms of some recognized species, and not worthy of a specific 

 name. Doubtless, also, some which. have been buried in synonymy by 

 other students, will be found, when their earlier stages are sufficiently 

 known, to be worthy of specific recognition. 



The following list covers all forms which we know to occur in 

 Canada. Some of these have never been recorded from Canada before, 

 and it is not unlikely that other collectors may be able to add further to 



this list :
