I 8 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



grower ; an account of the White-lined Morning Sphinx ; and an interest- 

 ing article on the Archippus Butterfly and its mimic, the Disippus. We 

 give a full list of the contents of this volume in order to show our readers 

 how replete it is with valuable and interesting matter, whether regarded in 

 a scientific or economic point of view, and whether referred to for informa- 

 tion on the common pests of our gardens, or as a contribution to the 

 Darwinian controversies of the day. The whole volume, we must not 

 omit to add, is handsomely illustrated with over seventy of Mr. Riley's 

 admirable drawings. The following new species of insects are described 

 and figured in the course of the volume : — Coleoptera, Analcis fragarue, 

 Bruchus fabce ; Lepidoptera, Amphipyra couspersa, Xylina cinerea; Dip- 

 tera, Tachina arcMppivora ; Hymenoptera, Porizon conotrachela, Microgas- 

 ter limenitidos.

7 'he Butterflies of North America : with Colored Drawings and Descrip- 

 tions. By Wm. H. Edwards. Philadelphia : The American Ento- 

 mological Society, Jan., 1871. 



This magnificent work has now reached its seventh part, and shows no 

 signs of falling off either in the beauty or excellence of its plates or 

 the value of its letterpress. All Entomologists who can possibly afford 

 it, ought to be subscribers ; they will find the reception of each new 

 number a source of intense delight, somewhat similar to that experienced 

 upon the capture of a new or rare species. The eighth part, Mr. 

 Edwards informs us, will be ready in a few days ; the last plate is 

 now in the hands of the colourist.
