One of tbem is very interesting, belonging to tlie genus Clothilla 

 Westwood, with 3-jointed tarsi, sliglitly dilated femora, 24-articulated 

 antennaj and short, scale-like wings. This species is certainly differ- 

 ent from CI. picea Hag. from California, the only descriljcul american 

 species. I think the species communicated is very similar, probably 

 identical witli C/othilla sfudiosa Westw. , formerly described by Lin- 

 naeus as Termes pulsatorius, and afterwards always confoundei.l with 

 Atropos divinatorius Muell. I may add that I have positively found 

 the last species in the boxes of the Cambridge Museum, eont;iining a 

 collection of Australian insects, and O. Fabricius found the same 

 species long since in Greenland. 



The other species, with two jointed tarsi, 10-articulated antennae, 

 without elytra and ocelli, is apparently a young larva of a species of 

 Psocus. I think it cannot be the P. lucifugus Ramb., a doubtful a,nd 

 much larger species. 



Supplement to a List of the Butterflies of New Eng- 

 land. By Samuel H. ScuddeFv. 



Five years ago, I published, in the third volume of the Proceedings 

 of the Essex Institute CSalem, Mass.), a list of New England butter- 

 flies. Eighty-one species were enumerated, together '\vith the time 

 of their appearance in each successive stage, the localities which they 

 frequented, and the comparative abundance in which they were 

 found. Li the following paper I have endeavored to extend our 

 knowledge of their relations to the outer world, and correct the mis- 

 takes that must naturally creep into a first attempt of the kind; the 

 names of other butterilies now known to inhabit New England have 

 also been inserted. Ninety-three species are enumerated, and the 

 numl)ers by which those of the previous list were specified are pre- 

 fixed in parentheses. 



I am indebted for my material to the fiivor of many friends, amou"' 

 whom I may mention Mr. S. I. Smith of Norway, Me., Messrs. F. G. 

 Sanborn and J. C. Merrill, Jr., of Boston, and Mr. P. S. Spra^ue 

 of Dorchester. Professor A. E. Verrill has kindly lent me some of 

 the butterflies of Yale College Cabinet for examination.
