109. Diedrocej^hala coccinea, Forst. Ottawa, bred from basswooil, 

 maple and liickory, (Metcalfe). 



110. Dcltocephalus Sayi, Fitch. Hull, Que., July 1, (Metcalfe). 



111. Empoasca flavescens, var. Birdii. Ottawa, Aug. 14, (Metcalfe). 



112. Evipoasca mali, LeB. Hull, Que., June 24; Britannia-on-tlie-Bay, 

 Ont., Aug. 7, (Metcalfe). This insect, which is known as the apple-leaf 

 hopper, is, according to Smith, "seriously troublesome in some years" in 

 New Jersey, but it is not a pest of any importance in Canada. 



113. Typhlocyha rosce, L., the common rose-leaf hopper. Ottawa, Julv 

 1, (Metcalfe). 



114. Typhlocyha querci, Fitch, var. hifasciata, G. and B. Hull, Que., 

 June.24: Britannia-on-the-Bay, Ont., Aug. 7, only found on basswood, (Met- 

 calfe) . 



Order Hemiptera. 



115. Lygtis invitis, Say. Hull, Que.; Ottawa; August, 60 specimens, 

 (Metcalfe). This insect belongs to the same genus as the common well 

 known pest of garden plants, the Tarnished Plant bug, which is very abun- 

 dant in many parts of Canada. 



116. Gargaphia tilifjc. Walsh, Ottawa, taken only on basswood, August, 

 (Metcalfe). In Smith's List of New Jersey Insects, it is stated that this 

 insect "ranges from New York to Virginia." 



117. Tingis armiata, Say. Hull, Que., July 1, (Metcalfe). In Packard's 

 Forest Insects the species is mentioned as having been found on the under 

 sides of the leaves of the White Oak. 



118. Coriscus inscrijHus, Kirby. Ottawa, June 19, (Metcalfe). Smith 

 states that this insect "occurs from Canada to Virginia and California." 



Order Lepidoptera. 



19 of 1903 List. Ennomos alniaria, L. Although the larva of this com- 

 mon moth has been recorded on several occasions by other writers as feeding 

 on basswood, it was not until the past season that the caterpillar was found 

 on that plant in the Ottawa district. At Meach Lake, Mr. C. H. Young col- 

 lected a larva which pupated on Sept. 10. 



119. Smerinthus jammcensis, Drury. In the preparation of my first 

 list of basswood insects, I omitted to include this species, the larva of which 

 feeds on a variety of plants, such as elm, apple, plum, willow, poplar, ash, 

 birch, basswood, etc. In Lugger's Fourth Annual Minnesota Report, plate 

 XV.. there is a good figure of the mature larva. In Canada, the species is 

 widespread, occurring as far west as Medicine Hat, Assa.. from which place, 

 in 1900, eggs were sent to the Division of Entomology, by Mr. T. N. Willing. 

 The eggs hatched on June 5, and notes were taken on the larval stages. 

 The larvae were fed on willow and poplar. 



120. Mineola indigenella, Zell. var. nehiilelJa, Hiley? In 1904 we reared 

 from apple some specimens of a small moth which seems indistinguishable 

 from this apple feeding species. The habits and appearance of our larvae, 

 however, are different from those of indiginella as published by Piley and 

 Saunders, and Dr. Fletcher thinks that it cannot be the same. On Sept. 

 20, 1905, the writer found on basswood three of tHe larvae, all on the upper 

 side of the leaf. In each case the larva was resting under a slender tent of 

 silk, which was about half an inch in width and nearly an inch in length. 

 The three leaves were all put in the same breeding jar, but two days after 

 collection I was surprised to see only one larva in the jar. On looking close- 

 ly, however, I found portions of each of the other two, and there was no doubt
