ENTOMOLOGICAL SECTION. V 



Mr. Blake called attention to the identity of Catocala Editlia 

 Edwards, (Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. v, 112), with C. amatrix, one of 

 the most common of our species. The type of the former from 

 Arizona, kindly presented to the American Entomological Society, by 

 Mr. Edwards, had been carefully compared with a large number of 

 specimens of ainafrix, and no diflPerence whatever was observable ; 

 it was interesting, however, as showing the geographical range of 

 the species. 



Mr. Blake also gave notice of the capture last summer of a specimen 

 of Papillo cresjjJiontes Cram., in the vicinity of Philadelphia — a very 

 rare occurrence. 



Mr. Cresson announced the death, on February 16, of Frederick 

 Smith, the distinguished Hymenopterist of England.
