THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 179 



At the same place were collected a few sub-imagoes of Ephemerina, 

 probably belonging to the group of Potamanthus ; wings and body are 

 blackish. 



As far as I know, this is the highest elevation in the U. S. from which 

 Phryganid larvae and Ephemerina are reported to live. From South 

 America I have Phryganid cases out of Lake Titicaca. 



CORRESPONDENCE. 



Dear Sir : In the July No. of the Canadian Entomologist for this 

 year, is a list of the North American Sphingidae, by A. R. Grote, A. M., 

 in which, amongst other valuable matter, there is a paragraph which reads 

 thus : " We have in South Florida a West Indian colony, the extent of 

 which is not yet known. Stragglers from the south, as £//o, Titan, 

 Labruscce, invade even New England. How far north these breed with 

 us is not known. They seem hardly to belong to the North American 

 fauna, but are all included here so far as they have been reported to me 

 as being taken within the political limits of the United States." I have 

 now to report that Dilophonota EUo Linn, has reached this locality, four 

 specimens having been taken this fall, three by Mr. Johnston in the city, 

 and one by Mr. Kyle in Dundas. Mr. Grote's remarks seem naturally to 

 suggest the question. Did these specimens fly to us from a distance, or 

 were they bred here ? If they were bred in this locality, then the next 

 thing in order will be information about its food plant. It seems to appear 

 somewhat late in the season, one being taken on ist of October. 



In June last I took a beetle seldom seen in Canadian collections, 

 Anthophila viridis Lee, which I identified by a specimen in the fine 

 collection of Mr. Reinecke, of Buffalo, the attractive, sparkling golden- 

 green of its elytra giving it far more the appearance of a South American 

 species, than one to be got in the North. Some information about its 

 habits would be very acceptable. I captured my specimen on the wing,
