Euclemensia bassettella Clemens and notes that their habit of 
feeding on the female Kermes scale is known, but little recorded. 
Out of thirty galls collected, seventeen proved to be parasitized 
by this moth. I believe that in some cases two hosts can emerge 
from one scale, it was observed, four of the scale had to exit holes 
and twenty-one moths were counted. 
This scale was collected in Maurice Woods, Masheth, L. I., a 
beautiful collecting spot now destroyed. 
CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS TO AN ARTICLE ON 
LEPTOYPHA AND LEPTOSTYLA (HETER- 
OPTERA; TINGIDZ). 
By W. L. McATEE. 
The paper* on Leptoypha and Leptostyla referred to in the 
title was hurried in preparation so as to get it off before my de- 
parture on a field trip, and did not escape the almost inevitable 
blemishes to be expected from so poor a policy. Certain of these 
errors have been called to my attention by Messrs. E. P. Van 
Duzee and Carl J. Drake to whom I am grateful. 
A general correction applicable to the whole paper is that the 
measurements are about 10 per cent. short, due to using the mul- 
tiplier .030 instead of .033 in converting micrometer readings 
into millimeters. Other corrections and additions are placed 
under the names of the species to which they pertain. 
Leptoypha minor McAtee. The description of this species 
should be emended as follows: transpose semicolon from after 
word “punctured” in 6th line to after word “thick” in 5th line; 
~ and add at end of 2d paragraph the words: “margins of thorax 
slightly explanate anteriorly.” This species is very closely related 
to L. brevicornis Champion? and may be identical. Since pub- 
lishing the paper here revised, I have seen this species from the 
Huachucha Mts., Ariz., and from Redding and Bakersfield, 
Calif. At the latter locality the insect was so abundant as to be
