REMARKS. 



C. lintneri is a native North American insect and has been taken 

 only in the eastern United States and eastern Canada. In the orig- 

 inal description of this insect Professor Comstock stated that he had 

 received his specimens from the State Entomologist of New Yor-k, 

 and though it is not stated where the specimens were collected, we 

 may infer that they came from New York state. Prof. Cockerell 

 has recorded the species from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. 

 The Department of Agriculture contains examples from Chateaugay, 

 Quebec, Canada; Ithaca, N. Y. and "opposite Alexandria," D. C. 

 Two lots of specimens of doubtful locality but probably from Ottawa, 

 Can. and Buffalo, N. Y. were received from Prof. Cockerell and I 

 have also received examples from Stoneham, Mass, from Mr. Kirk- 

 land and from Ballardvale, Andover and Methuen, Mass, from Mr. 

 G. B. King. 



The food plants of the species already published are " Alder," 

 Vibunium lantanoides, and Betula papyrifera. The Department of 

 Agriculture contains specimens found on Cornus stolaniger and Salix 

 sp. and it has been sent to me on Lindera odorifera and Corylus 

 americatia by Mr. G. B. King, and on Alnus serrulata by Mr. A. H. 

 Kirkland. It occurs also on Cornus alternifolia and C. stolonifera. 

 A very large percentage of the examples received from Stoneham, 

 Mass, bear evidence of having been parasitized, though no speci- 

 mens of the parasite have ever been captured. 



In the preparation of the descriptions of this insect I have had a 

 part of Prof. Comstock's cotypes for examination.
