NOTES ON CANADIAN LEPIDOPTERA 



PART III. 



BY THE EDITOR. 

 [Continued from page 72.) 



Iq our last notes we mentioned the names of various species of moths that., 

 on various grounds, are to be dropped from our list of Canadian Lepidoptera j 

 we now proceed to mention those that are to be added to the list, as having 

 been captured or determined since its publication in 1865. These, of course, 

 are onlj what have come under our own notice, but we have no doubt that 

 the number might be largely increased by our readers, notwithstanding that 

 the last two years have been so peculiarly unfavorable to the collectors of 

 Lepidoptera in this country. 



Acronycta occidedta^is, Grote & Rob. (Pro. Ent. Soc. Phil. vi. 16) — Taken 

 at London by Mr. E. B. Reed. 



AcToaycta funeralis, Grote & Rob. (Pro. Ent. Soc. Phil. vi. 17, pi. 4.) 

 —Taken at Grimsby by Mr. Pettit. 



AcTO'.iycta morula^ Grote & Rob. (Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. ii. 196, pi. 3.) 

 Several specimens taken at sugar, at Cobourg. 



Acronycta superans, Guén.— Numerous specimens taken at Cobourg in 

 June, 1865, at sugar. This handsome species may be readily distinguished 

 by its dark primaries, which are conspicuously mottled with white, and have 

 a luteous or orange-coloured spot at the base of the inner margin. 



Hydrœcia aera, Grote & Rob. (Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. i. 345, pi. 7.) — Taken 

 in Canada by Mr. Bowles, of Quebec. 



Carodnna multi/era, Walk. (C B. M. x. 293). — Taken at Cobourg. 

 Mr. Walker mentions its capture in Nova Scotia by Lieut. Redman, and thus 

 describes it : — " Cinereous. Thorax and fore wings with blackish speckles. 

 Fore wings with black marks on the costa, with blackish zig-zag transverse 

 lines, with two brownish bands, and with brown marginal dots ; orbicular spot 

 small; reniform large, nearly fusiform. Hind wings with whitish cilise. 

 Length of body 5 lines; of wings 12 lines."
