Georgia (Abbot). B.M. 
I am glad to see this species referred by Mr. Grote to Ellema, that being unquestionably 
the true position for it; our example agrees far better with Abbot’s figure than with 
the description of E. harrisii; it is certainly S. cana of Martyn. 
2. ELLEMA HARRISII. 
Ellema harrisii, Clemens, Journ. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phil. 1859, p. 188; Lintner, Rep. New-York

The larva of this species is described by Lintner. 
Genus 23. Lapara', Walker.

Canada. 
But for Mr. Walker's description of the body of this species as ‘‘ body rather slender ” 
and “abdomen linear” I should have been inclined to think the species a male Eilema ; 
as I have not seen males of that genus it may possibly be so.
