This species, specimens of which I have received from Mr. Saun- 

 ders, labelled "^. «ais," is not infrequent in Maine. It has been 

 taken in Mass. by Mr. Sanborn. The species of this genus are diffi- 

 cult to describe, and difficult to recognize from description without 

 good figures, such is their great variability. The rarity of the illus- 

 trated works in which they are first described and figured has led ob- 

 servers into occasional inadvertencies. Thus under the name of " nais\ 

 Hiibner figures what is unmistakeably A. phalerata Harris.
