THE CANADIAN EISTTOMOLOGIST. 89 



the Canada Farmer, for May 1 18G7, to have been taken at Grimsby in the 

 previous November by Mr. Pettit. 



Larentia geminata, Grote & Kob. (Pro. Ent. Soc. Phil. vi. 29, pi 3). 

 " Keadily distinguished by its pale coloration, its conspicuous irregular black 

 bands associated with faint yellowish coincident shades." Taken by Mr, 

 Pettit at Grimsby, also found in other localities. 



Carpocapsa pomonella, Linn. — Strange as it may appear, this terrible pest 

 of fruit growers, the Apple Codling Moth, which destroyed probably one- 

 half of the apple crop last year in Canada, has not had its name entered upon 

 our List of Native species ; we only wish it were an entire foreigner. A good 

 account, with figures, of the insect is given in our friend Mr. Riley's First 

 Report, p, G2. 



Pempeh'a grossularice, FaGkard. (Guide, Favt \i. p 331, fig. 254). This 

 new Gooseberry worm, first discovered by our esteemed coadjutor, Mr. 

 Saunders of London, Ont., must now be added to our List. An excellent 

 account of it in all its stages is given in Mr. Riley's Report, p. 140. 



Anchi/lopera fragaria, Walsh & Riley. (Amer. Entom. i, 89, fig. 75, Jan. 

 1869). "The Strawberry Leaf-roller" — another new destructive insect 

 which, vide Canada Farmer (Feb. 1869), is also to be added to our List. 



Now that we have completed our task, and brought our List of Canadian 

 Lepidoptera — with many omissions no doubt, but to the best of our ability — 

 down to the present time, we trust that our readers will assist us in recording 

 in the pages of the Canadian Entomologist, any new additions that may 

 be made from time to time to our knowledge of the Leidoptera of this country. 



MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. 



Alder-Bud Gall. — The gall on Alnus, mentioned on p. 81 of your last 

 number, is probably the one described by me on p. 198 of vol. i. of the 

 Monographs on N. A. Diptera, under the name of Cecidomijia serrulutœ. I 

 obtained at that time the perfect insect. — R. Osten Sacken, New York, 

 April 22, 1869. 



A CuRCULio NEW TO Canada. — In the Canada Farmer for March, 

 1869, page 98, mention is made of the capture, in July, 1868, of a specimen 

 0Î Lixus concavus, Say, by Mr. J. M. Bristol, of Virgil, County of Lincoln, 

 Ont. A pair of specimens of this insect were sent us last year by Mr. James 

 Angus, of "West Farms, N.Y., but it was not known before to occur in Canada 

 The following is Mr. Say's description (Ent. Works, vol. ii., p. 275) : — 



"Jj. Concavus. — Base of the thorax and of the elytra with a common 

 dilated indentation. Inhabits Indiana.
