THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 61 
was taken in flight in mid-da\- near the same locality' on Ma\- 30; 
in fact all females of this species which the writer has taken, have 
been caught flying in daylight. This flash does not agree with that 
of the insect which the writer supposed to be a male of P.angidata 
in 1912. 
5. Photiniis consa7iguineus Lee. This species was observed 
at Plummer's Island, Md., on June 3, and along the Canal 
on June 17. The interval between the two flashes constituting 
the light-emission of the male, was found to be variable, some- 
times as much as two seconds. No attraction of the male to the 
electric bulb could be secured. 
6. Photinus scintillans Say. The previous obser\"ations on 
this species were plentifully confirmed, but no new facts brought 
forth. 
During this season a flash was observed on two separate oc- 
casions, but in the same locality, which does not correspond with 
that of any known Lampyrids of this vicinit\'. It consisted of a 
series of quite rapid flashes, somewhat like that of the male of 
Pyractomena lucifera, but of a distinctly orange tone. Both ob- 
servations were made long after the normal period of pre\alence of 
the lucifera. It was found impossible to capture the insect at this 
time, and the flash was not seen again, on later \isits.
