Although Mr. Mayer visited this field subsequently in 1906, 

 and again in June, 1907, no more specimens were seen, and this 

 occurrence may be accidental. We believe this to be the most 

 Northern record for the species. The specimen is in the writer's 

 collection. 



Amblyscirtes samoset, Scud. 



This species was first captured in this vicinity by Mr. C. H. 

 Sunderland, who took one specimen July 4, 1903 in the Ramapo 

 Mountain region (definite locality, Sloatsburg, N. Y.). June 25, 

 1905, the writer captured three males in the same localit}'-. All 

 four were taken along the roads. 



The above record is equivalent to adding this species to the 

 New Jersey list, as Sloatsburg is only about 2y2 miles from the 

 State line. In Smith's Catalogue of the Insects of New Jersey, 

 samoset is noted as of probable occurrence. 



Bomolocha atomaria Smith, in Connecticut. 



By L. B. Woodruff, New York. 



For several years there has been in my collection a species 

 of Bomolocha which I had not placed. It was there represented 

 by four specimens, two males and two females, taken at light and 

 at sugar at Litchfield, Connecticut, in the months of June and 

 August, 1905-1908. Recently I had the opportunity to compare 

 them with the type and co-type of Dr. John B. Smith's B. atomaria, 

 males taken at Volga, South Dakota, now contained in the collec- 

 tion of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station at New 

 Brunswick, N. J., and found them to be undoubtedly the same 

 species. 



Dr. Smith described B. atomaria in Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. 

 XXIX p. 216, June 1903, from four male examples, all from Volga, 

 South Dakota. The females taken at Litchfield are like the males 

 in pattern, but in them the t. a. line is obsolete. They also average 

 slightly larger, and the gray shades of the males are replaced by 

 a yellowish tinge. It might be well to point out that in the s. t. 

 line on the fore wings there is a strong inward siiluation of its 

 lower half, a marked character present in the type and in all the
