18 THE CAIÎADÎAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



23. Ellema Harrisii, Clemens. — This is tlie Sphinx coni/erarum oi 

 Harris, who erroneously considered it to be Smith's species. We have a 

 male specimen from London, Ont., and a female from Weston, Ont. 



24. Lapara BOMBYCOiDES, Walk. — This insect, which is very briefly 

 described by Mr. Walker (C. B. M. viii, 283), and noticed as having been 

 taken in Canada, is not mentioned by either Clemens or Grote ; as the typical 

 specimen is in a private collection it will be difficult to determine it or ascer- 

 tain its specific value. 



25. Trochilium caudatum, Harris. — This singular and beautiful insect 

 we captured in our garden at Credit last summer ; we have never seen but 

 one specimen. 



26. Thyris vitrina, Boisd. — This name is to be omitted from our List 

 No. 2 ; it was inserted on the authority of Mr. Walker (C B. M. viii. 73), 

 but Grote & Rob. (Trans. Am. Ent. Soc ii. 75) have shewn that it is an 

 erroneous determination of T. maculata, Harris. 



We now proceed to the Bombycidae, in which we adopt the order and 

 revised nomenclature put forth by Dr. A. S. Packard, jun., in his valuable 

 synopsis of this family (Pro. Ent. Soe. Phil. iii. 97-130, and 331-396). 



27. Gnophria- vittata, Harris. — A synonym of Hypoprepla fucosa, 

 Hiibn (^Lithosia miniaia, Kirby), and therefore to be omitted from the list; 

 the great difference in colour between the two varieties led us to think for 

 some time with Harris, Clemens and Fitch, that there were two species. 



28. EuPHANESSA MENDICA, Walk. — This species, which was included by 

 Walker and others in the genus Nudaria, has been erected into a new 

 genus, by Dr. Packard (P. E. S. Phil. iii. 102) upon satisfactory grounds. 



29. Crocota rubicundaria, Hiibn. — Grote & Rob. state (Trans. E. S. 

 ii. 71) that the specimens referred by Walker to this species, are varieties of 

 his C. ferruginosa ; this statement is corroborated by Dr. Packard's account 

 of the extreme variableness of the latter species (P. E. S. Phil. iii. 104). 

 The name must therefore be omitted from our list until Hiibner's species is 

 satisfactorily shown to have been taken in Canada. 



30. Utetheisa BELLA, Hiibn. — This lovely little moth which was formerly 

 known by the hard-to-be-pronounccd name of Deiopeia hella, is now referred 

 to Hiibner's not much more euphonious name, his genus having the priority 

 over Westwood's. 



31. CALLijdMORPHA CLYMENE, Esper. — In our list as a Hi/percompa, 

 which, it appears, was not intended by Hiibner as the name of a genus, but 

 of a group of genera.
