24 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



much more dense than in ovata: last ventral of male small, its 

 hind border in both sexes finely pectinate. Length 4.5-5.2 mm. 



Nine specimes beaten from the flowers of the farkle-berry, 

 Vaccinium arbor eum Marsh, near Sanford and Ormond, March 

 29th. — April 6th. Easily told at a glance from ovata by the much 

 more dense and coppery vestiture. Mr. Blanchard wrote me that 

 he had had it separated but not named in his collection for more 

 than 40 years. 



Hallomenus fuscosuturalis, sp. nov. 



Elongate-oblong. Dull brownish yellow, sparsely clothed 

 with fine prostrate yellowish hairs; elytra with a common sutural 

 fuscopiceous stripa which is widest in the region of the scutellum, 

 the margins also often darker than the disk. Head finely and 

 evenly punctate; eyes small, deeply emarginate on the inner side; 

 antennee with second joint one-half the length of third, joints 3-11 

 subequal and one-half longer than wide instead of subquadrate as 

 in the other species of the genus except serricornis. Thorax at 

 base one-half wider than long, sides gradually rounded to apex 

 which is one-third narrower than base; disk finely and densely 

 punctate, the basal impressions feeble. Elytra as wide at base as 

 thorax, sides parallel for three-fifths their length, thence gradually 

 converging to the rounded apex; their surface, as well as that of 

 abdomen, very finely and much less closely punctate than thorax. 

 Length 3 mm. 



Six specimens beaten from scrub-oak and willow near Sanford. 

 March 28—29, 1911.

Lycaena comyntas Godt. — While collecting Geometrida? after 

 sundown at Valcour. N. Y., July 25th., I found a male L. comyn- 

 tas asleep on a blade of grass. Like many other "Blues," it rests 

 for the night head downwards, the tails of the hind-wings and the 

 black spot strongly resembling a pair of antennae and an eye at the 

 wrong end. A second specimen was found in the same attitude 

 after a few minutes' search. A. F. Winn, Westmount.
