88 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



We took a specimen of a lovely moth at Credit last year, whieli we consider 

 to be this species. It chiefly differs from G. & E.'s description and figures 

 in the much greater width of the black markings on the secondaries, thus 

 leaving much less of the extremely pale yellow ground colour. We do not 

 attempt a brief description, as it would necessarily be quite inadequate; we 

 must therefore refer our readers to the full account by the authors. 



Parthenos nuhilia, Hlibn. — This handsome species of the family Catocalidœ 

 may be readily distinguished by its beautifully mottled black and white prima- 

 ries and luteous secondaries, the latter especially being remarkable for having 

 three undulating black transverse bands, and a marginal series of confluent, 

 round black spots. We took several specimens at Credit in June, 1868, 

 mostly attracted by light. 



Erebus odora, Linn. — Two specimens of this gigantic moth have been 

 taken in Canada; one by Dr. Sangster at Toronto, the other by Mr. B. 

 Billings at Ottawa. In the British Museum Catalogue specimens are related 

 to have been captured on the " West Coast of America," " off the Coast of 

 Brazil, 120 miles due East of Espirito Santo," Brazil, West Indies. It has 

 also been taken in the United States. The wings expand about five inches 

 and are deep blackish, with numerous transverse black lines, and on the 

 primaries a large incised discal spot. 



Remigia latipes, Guen. — Taken at Cobourg, and also by Mr, Pettit at 

 Grimsby. Distinguished by its extraordinary posterior tarsi, which are densely 

 fringed with excessively long hairs. The primaries arc cinereous, thickly 

 sprinkled with blackish scales ; the two interior transverse lines are distinct? 

 almost straight, oblique and converging ; discal spots tolerably distinct, finely 

 margined with black ; subterminal space much darker, sharply defined ante- 

 riorly by the posterior transverse line ; submarginal line indicated by a row 

 of blackish spots. Secondaries dark cinereous, with a transverse line of 

 blackish spots, and a broad blackish border. Alar expansion 1.75 inch; 

 length of bt)dy 0.7 inch. This species was determined for us by Mr. Walker. 



The following species, of other families than the Nbctimdce, are also to be 

 added to our Canadian Lists : — 



Drymonia ? confu^a, Walk. (Cat. Brit. Mus» xxxii. 413). Taken at 

 Orillia by Mr. Bush. 



Dasychira dandestina, Walk. (Can. Nat. & Geol. vi» 36., Feb. 1861) 

 Taken by Mr. D'Urban at Bcvin's Lake, Montcalm, P. Q., July 7th 1859. 

 A specimen of this insect is in the collection before allud'îd to, sent by Mr. 

 D'Urban to Mr. Reed.

 tive insect, well-known under the name of " Canker-worm," is related in
