12 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Juiiuary, 



The total number of species from Manchester known to me, 

 including the undetermined Gomphiis, is now fifty species. Of 

 these two are Calopterygina, eleven Agrionina, seven ^schnina, 

 eight Gomphina, nine Cordulina, thirteen Libellulina.* 



As before each species has been identified by Mr. Philip P. 

 Calvert, of Philadelphia, who has given me much assistance in 

 the study of the Odonata.

We give as a supplement to the present number an exchange list, which 

 will save the entomologist the trouble and labor of making out written 

 lists, either of duplicates or desiderata, to send to correspondents. Num- 

 bers are also unsatisfactory, as they have to be copied from a list and re- 

 ferred to a list by the recipient. The editor has often been in need of 

 such a list, and thus it originated. All that is necessary is to mark the 

 list and put it in an envelope and send it on its way, hoping thereby to 

 receive many fine additions to one's collection. — Ed. 



Alexia Argillacea Hiib. — Apropos of a note on this insect in the 

 December number of Ent. News (p. 154) by Prof. Killicott, I wish to 

 state that argillacea has been very rare the past season, if indeed it has 

 appeared at all, at Buffalo, N. Y. About October ist, when it should be 

 most abundant, I was frequently out after moths, but failed to detect a 

 single example of this species. — E. P. Van Duzee. 



We have recently heard from Mr. W'm. H. Ashmead, who writes from 

 No. II W. Alvensleben Strasse, Berlin, that he is having a good time 

 studying the large collections in the Museum. "The collection of 

 exotic Lepidoptera is simply grand, and, for a lepidopterist, is simply a 

 paradise. The Hymenoptera, especially in the micros, are poorly repre- 

 sented, but I find a good many interesting forms in what they have among 

 the macros." 



* In a letter dated November fiith, 1890], accompanying the MS. of the above "Addi- 

 tions," Miss VVadsworth writes: "Some species quite common before have been much 

 less so this season, particularly Anax Junius, which, in 1889, was one of the most common 

 species. This year I saw but one specimen, and that on June 30th." So far as my obser- 

 vations go, this remark is also true for the relative abundance oi Junius iu Delaware 

 County, Pa., in 1889 and 1890.— Philip P. Calvert.
