[109] O N HOMOPTERA LUNATA AND H. EDUSA. 221 



two forms, and the necessity of henceforth dropping the name 

 of "edutfa " from our lists. 



It is fortunate that the specific name which is to be retained 

 will now indicate a marked feature of the species. 



There has always been an annoying incongruity in desig- 

 nating as lunata that one of the two closely allied supposed 

 species which was without the lunulated spots. 



In consideration of the suggestion and careful observations 

 of Mr. Bean, given in a late number of the Canadian Ento- 

 mologist (ut cit), I have included, with doubt, H. Saundersii, 

 in the synonymy of H. lunata. My two examples ot this 

 form are both males, but with only these at my command (the 

 form appears to be quite rare in the Albany district), it would 

 not be proper to form an opinion as to its relations.
