8 4 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Catocala concumbens Walk.- — Two specimens, apparently a variety of 



this species ; Sault Ste. Marie. They were captured flying in the day 



time. 



A few more moths, chiefly small species, were taken at various points, 



but have not yet been determined, from want of leisure. 



I may mention that I saw at Collingwood, in a lady's drawing-room, 

 a specimen of the gigantic moth Erebus odora Linn., that had been 

 captured a few years ago in the neighborhood. This makes the third 

 specimen that, so far as we know, has been taken in Canada. 



I shall endeavour to give a list of the Coleoptera and other insects 

 taken, in a future number of this journal.

LITHOCOLLETIS.

Silvery white ; apical half of the anterior wings pale golden ; there 

 is a long, pale golden basal streak situated just within the costal mar- 

 gin, and strongly dark margined towards t/ie dorsal ma /gin, and extending 

 to t/ie pale golden of the apical portion of the wing. In the pale 

 golden portion are four silvery costal and two silvery dorsal streaks, 

 ail dark margined internally ; the first dorsal and first costal streaks 

 opposite, and both very oblique, and almost confluent in the middle of 

 the wing ; second dorsal opposite the second costal. Apical spot black ; 

 hinder marginal line, at the base of the cilia?, dark brown ; cilia? silvery.

The larva is cylindrical, small, first segment (after the head) largest, 

 and tapering thinner to the anal segment. Very pale greenish, with a 

 transverse dark brown macula on top of each segment. It is another 

 instance of a larva of the first group mining the upper surface of the leaf. 

 It mines the leaves of the Ironwood or Hornbeam (Ostrya virginica). 

 The mine is a very white blotch, flat at first, but finally the leaf is 

 completely folded upwards.
