THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 11 



16. Philampelus pandorus, Walk. (P. satelUtia, Harris.) — Satdliiia 

 Linn., is a South Americaa species, and not that figured by Harris (vide 

 Grote & Hob. Trans. Ara. E. S. ii. 76). This magnificent Sphinx was cap- 

 tured in 1866 by the Rev. V. Clenaenti at Lakefield, North Douro, Ont, as 

 it has been taken so far north it is likely to occur ia other parts of the country 

 where the grape is cultivated.

ENTOMOLOaiCAL NOTES DUBING A TRIP TO SAGUENAY. 



BY W. SAUNDERS. 



During the summer of 1866 we found ourselves among those who were 

 trying to escape the hot weather of July by a trip to the Saguenay. The 

 few hasty notes of insects taken during this journey must necessarily be very 

 imperfect, since a day or two at most was all the tiijic that could be devoted 

 to any one locality. 



During the down trip there were co opportunities for entomological obser- 

 vations. On the evening of July 10th we reached the mouth of the Sague- 

 nay, and early on the following morning the steamer Magnet landed us at 

 Ha Ha Bay. I was surprised to find that Fieris rapse, so lately introduced 

 into Quebec from Europe had found its way so far down as this, it was the 

 commonest butterfly here. During a twelve miles journey across the country 

 to Chicoutimi it still prevailed, flying about the gardens and cultivated fields 

 — ia no great abundance anywhere, but commoner than any other species. 

 How much further north it extended I was not able to ascertain. 



After spending two days in this neighbourhood we returned on the third 

 to Tadousac and from thence to Cacouna, remaining two or three days in 

 each place. The following list embraces all the species observed, with 

 localities : 

 Papilio iurnus, Linn. — Tadousac, not uncommon. 



" asterias, Fab. — This insect was not seen on the wing, but two 



specimens of the full grown larva were taken at Cacouna. 

 Fieris rapas, Linn. — Ha Ha Bay, Chicoutimi, Cacouna, common. It is 



rather remarkable that this insect was not seen at all in Tadousac. 

 Colias philod'ice, Godt. — Tadousac, common. Cacouna not so plentiful. 

 Argynnis atlantia, Edwards. — Cacouna, rather common, but very wild and 



difficult to capture. 

 Argynnis myrina, Cram. — Cacouna, abundant. 

 Mditsea Harrisii, Scud, — Ha Ha Bay. 



" tharoSf Cram. — Ha Ha Bay, Cacouna, common. 

 Vanessa Milberti, Encyc. — Ha Ha Bay.
