306 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



H. falcigera, Cr. Slave Lake, Hudson's Bay. Black, head with a 

 small yellow frontal spot ; thorax without discal marks, with a narrow 

 uniform yellow border. Elytra yellow, with the suture black (narrowing 

 out before the apex), and each with a black, equally broad vitta, suddenly 

 incurved before the apex. L., .22 in. 



H. americana, Cr. Hudson's Bay. Tibipe pale, metepimera black, 

 thoracic margin narrow in front, broader and emarginate at sides, sutural 

 vitta suddenly dilated at one-third. L., .20 in. 



Coccinella transversalis, Muls. Victoria, Van, Isl. A variety of C. 

 tra?isversoguttaia, in which the basal band is divided, or only the 

 scutellar spot left. It, therefore, resembles, superficially, C. monticola, 

 from which it may be separated by the thoracic spot, as shown in the 

 preceding table. 



Afiatis Rathvoni^ Lee. Nanaimo, Van. Isl. (Holland). May be 

 known from A. i ^-punctata by the black meso-and metepimera. 



Psyllobora tcedata, Lee. Victoria, Nanaimo, Van. Island. Smaller 

 than F. 20-maailaia, spots mostly brown, sub-confluent, punctuation 

 fainter.

 part very difficult to procure. The following are the principal titles : —

PHILAMPELUS ACHEMON. 



While collecting on the 29th of last June, at an electric light 

 on the outskirts of Toronto, in company with Mr. H. R. Hayter, he 

 captured a 9 specimen of Philampelus achemon, Drury. The insect 

 had lost one antenna, but was otherwise in perfect condition. I have 

 not heard of any other capture of this insect near Toronto.
