116 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Bythoscopus cognatus, VanD. — Taken at Lake Temagami and along 

 Quinze Lake and Barrier River. 



Pediopsis viridis, Fitch. — White Rapids and Barrier River. No 

 males were taken. 



Pediopsis basalis, VanD. — One female taken at Temiskamingue P. 

 O. This belongs to the dark form, with banded elytra, of which I have 

 taken examples at Lancaster and Hamburg, N. Y. This individual differs, 

 however, in having a black propleural point not found in the specimens 

 from Western New York. These banded forms seem to connect basalis 

 with bifasciata, and they may prove to be a distinct species. 



Pediopsis bi/asciata, VanD. — One very pale specimen that I place 

 here with some doubt, was taken at Klauck's, on Quinze Lake. 



Idiocerus pallidus. Fitch. — Taken throughout the Ottawa River dis- 

 trict. 



Idiocerus suiuralis, Fitch. — Taken commonly. The males were 

 deeply coloured, and were more abundant than the females. The variety 

 lunar is. Ball, was not taken on this trip. 



Idiocerus alternatus, Fitch. — A good series from Nigger Point, 

 Quinze I^ake. I have placed under this name the common species found 

 throughout the northern United States and Canada, and west to California. 

 It may be distinguished from our other alternate-veined species by its 

 having the apex of the head brown and polished, with the two round dots 

 on the vertex distinct, and not confounded with the transverse black band. 

 The commissural margin has a white spot in most specimens. 



Idiocerus sp. — This species, of which Mr. Palmer took one example 

 at Temagami, has a broad, irregular, black band across the apex of the 

 head, in which the round dots are scarcely distinguished. This band 

 is bisected by a pale median line, and below it are a pair of transverse 

 spots on the base of the front. The elytral nervures are scarcely alternated. 

 This species I have also taken at Ridgeway, Ont., near Buffalo. 



Idiocerus lachrymalis, Fitch. — Barrier River, two examples. This is 

 our largest Idiocerus. It has the same black band on the vertex that we 

 find in the preceding species, but it is not bisected by a pale median line. 

 Agal/ia novella, Say. — Specimens of this species were brought from 

 all stations along Quinze Lake and Barrier River. These are all of the 

 pale form, in some of which the black pronotal spots are entirely wanting. 

 Agallia sanguinolenta, Prov. — Temiskamingue, P. O. One example.
