met with from the middle of June to near the end of 

 July of the preceding year, in different localities in 

 California. I am informed by Prof. Zeller, to whom 

 one of these supposed paler varieties has been sub- 

 mitted, that it corresponds with (Edematoplwrus creti- 

 dactylus, Fitch (Nox. Ins. N. Y., Reps. 1 & 2, p. 142), 

 which has been redescribed by Zeller (Verh. z.-b. Ges. 

 Wien, xxiv. p. 444), from Vancouver's Island, and 

 carefully contrasted with (E. litlwdactylus, Tr., and 

 (E. roqenhoferi, Mann. He considers it to be distinct 

 from the species above described as new. It must 

 therefore now be included among the California!! 

 Pterophoridse. I regret that in the Plates prepared 

 to accompany this pamphlet the species has not been 

 figured, owing to my having failed at first to recog- 

 nize it.
