northern but definite record for the species; it confirms other 
northern mentions from Illinois, District of Columbia and Ohio 
(C. EF. Baker, 1898; and bE. De Ball eon): 
Kolla similis (Walker). One specimen with the label ‘“ Mo. 
C. V. Riley.” This species is rarely found as far north as Mis- 
souri. It is distinctly a southern species common in the West 
Indies, Central America and reported as found in some of the 
Gulf States. Unfortunately the data on this specimen are rather 
meager. 
Graphocephala coccinia (Forst). Among a great lot of speci- 
mens there were three from the Fitch Collection which bore the 
following labels: (1) “Proconia sambuct”; (2) “P. samb. b. 
punctata”; (3) “P. samb. d. confluenta.’ These labels would 
indicate that Dr. Fitch (if applied by him) intended to separate 
out some color varieties, but the use of the name sambuci is rather 
curious, as he refers to this species in his Catalogue of New York 
State Cabinet of Natural History under the name Proconia quad- 
rivittata Say, as described by Thomas Say in 1831 and known as 
such for a good many years. The differences between the three 
specimens are as follows: (1) “Proconia sambuci.” Pronotum 
with a broad anterior band of light yellowish-green, marked with 
a pair of red blotches, disk of pronotum dark-green to the pos- 
terior margin with a pair of red spots about the size of the eyes; 
(2) “P. samb. var. b. punctata.’ With the red spots in the dark- 
green disk of pronotum much smaller, less than half the size of 
the eyes; (3) “P. samb. var. d. confluenta,”’ with the red blotches. 
in the anterior light band and the spots in the dark-green disk 
fusing, leaving a dark-green posterior band with a center bar 
pointing forward and a pair of lateral bars pointing obliquely for- 
ward and inward from the postero-lateral margins. Perhaps 
other varieties had been designated for the letters a and c at 
least ? 
Sixteen specimens from North Carolina, July 14, 1899, Ku- 
wana, on Rhododendron maximum. These specimens appear 
quite different from our usual brilliantly colored forms. In place 
of the red and green they are yellowish-brown to dark velvety 
brown; only one specimen shows a slight trace of green. It
