CORRESPONDENCE. 



LITHOPHANE ORIUNDA. 



Sh\ — Two localities may be mentioned additional to those given by 

 Mr. Moffat in July (1893) number. 



Mr. Grote has recorded Wisconsin as a habitat of Oriunda, and I can 

 say that a single specimen was collected at Galena, Illinois, Sept. 26, 

 1875, from a sugared tree. Thomas E. Bean, Laggan, Alberta. 



Sir, — I wish, on behalf of the Entomological Society of Ontario, to 

 acknowlede the receipt of a contribution to the Society's collection of 

 native Coleoptera, from Mr. A. H. Kilman, of Ridgeway. It consists of 

 over a hundred and fifty species that were wanting in the Society's 

 cabinets, all nicely mounted and in fine condition. 



London, May i6th, 1894. J. Alston Moffat, Curator. 



IS CCENONYMPHA TYPHON SYNONYMOUS WITH C. INORNATA ? 



Sir, — Will American entomologists who are acquainted with the 

 European forms of Coenony?npha typhon, especially with vars, laidion, 

 Bork, and isis, Tett (probably identical), inform me whether Coenonympha 

 inornata, Edw., is a distinct species or is identical with these varieties? 

 From the descriptions, I incline to the latter view, but an inspection of 

 some specimens of the American insect in the British Museum (Natural 

 History), not very first-rate ones by the way, rather lends countenance to 

 the former. F. I. Buckell, M. B., 32 Canonbury Square.
