BOMBYCINA. 



1. Ctenuclia Latreillana, Kirby. (Ccerulean). Described in 

 " Fauna Boreali- Americana," p. 305. One specimen taken on 

 the 16th July, near the Indian Village on the Rouge, Township 

 of Arundel. 



2. Crocofa hrevicornis, Walker. Described in " British 

 Museum Catalogue Lepid. Het." part II, p. 535. Observed in 

 open places at Huckleberry Rapids, DeSalaberry, and numer- 

 ous amongst grass at Hamilton's Farm, end of July and 

 August. 



3. Medaria Mendica, Walker. (Buff Muslin). Described in 

 "British Museum Cat. Lepid. Het." Part II, p. 576. Not abund- 

 ant in this district, but occurred near Bevin's Lake, Montcalm, 

 in July. 



4. Arctia PartJienos, Harris (Great Northern Tiger). On the 

 19th July, five miles up the Devil's River, a tributary of the 

 Rouge, I took a fine Arctia agreeing in every respect with the 

 figure and description of A. Parthenos, given by Dr. Harris in 

 Agassiz's " Lake Superior," p. 390, pi. 7, fig. 4, with the excep- 

 tion that it hsiafive, instead of tJu^ee cream-coloured spots on the 

 costal edge of the anterior wings. 



5. Hypercompa Lecontei, Boisd. (White Tiger). Occurred 

 at various places in the Townships of Montcalm, Arundel and 

 DeSalaberry, during the month of July. H. confinis and contigua, 

 Walker, (" Brit. Mus. Cat. Lepid. Het." part III, p. 651), appear 

 to be merely varieties of this very variable species. 



6. Hales ido ta annuUfascia, Walker. Described in Brit. Mus. 

 Cat. Lepid. Het. part III, p. 733. I found cocoons of a Muff 

 Moth under stones, 22nd May, near Sixteen Island Lake, Went- 

 worth, most probably belonging to this species, which abounds 

 near Montreal. Mr. Walker's H. annulifascia appears to me to 

 be identical with SojyJiocanipa Co.ryce (Hickory Jussock Moth) of 

 Harris, (vide Fitch's "Noxious Insects of New York," p. 

 163). 



7. Orgyia leucostigma, Abbot and Smith (American Yapourer). 

 Vide Fitch's " Noxious Insects of New York," p. 213. The 

 males were numerous flying in the sunshine at Hamilton's Farm, 

 at the end of AugTist and beginning of September.
