THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 12$ 



Efidropia duaria and Ellopia fervidaria, although appearing every 

 season to some extent, were also unusually plentiful, and some dark 

 coloured and heavily marked forms of them were obtained. 



Although the season was not uniformly good throughout, yet it proved 

 in the end to be one of the best I have had in many years. 



The following names are new to the Canadian list : — 



Sarrothripa Lintneriana, Speyer. Determined by Prof. Fernald, was 

 sent to him by me in mistake as a micro. 



CEdemasia nitida, Pack. 



Dasylophia interna, Pack. 



Patithea propinqui/ifiea, Grote, or sp. nov. This specimen I took in 

 1892. I thought at the time that it was an indistinctly marked P. fur- 

 cilia, but upon further investigation I concluded that it required authorita- 

 tive determination, so I sent it to Prof Smith, who returned the specimen 

 with the following remarks about it : — " No. 37 is exceedingly interesting 

 and is somewhat different from anything that I have ever seen before. It 

 comes nearest to Demas propinquilinea ; but I never saw before one quite 

 so well marked as this is. All the specimens from this region are a good 

 deal more powdery and darker with very little contrast in maculation. I 

 would not be at all surprised if a good series of both species would prove 

 the Canadian form distinct." 



Hadena vulgaris, G. & R. 



Oncocnemis viriditincta, Smith. This is a species that I took a few 

 specimens of at Hamilton, many years ago. It was given a name pro- 

 visionally and placed with the named material. I had known for long 

 that it was out of place, but forgot it when sending for names. So to 

 avoid that again, I placed a specimen with the unnamed material, and it 

 went to Prof Smith, with others, in December last. When the Professor 

 sent me the names of the others, he pronounced this one to be an 

 " oddity," saying " It reminds me of some West Indian species," and 

 suspected that it must have been a transient visitor. But upon assuring 

 him that I had taken four of them, that I had seen more of them than I 

 captured, and that they were not all taken in the same year, and on send- 

 ing to him a male specimen for further examination, he wrote to me thus :
