arrangement of the spots on the underside of secondaries slightly, but 
constantly. The black ocelli to the spots, very conspicuous in the true 
Lygdamus, are almost wanting in your species.” Mr. Strecker has also 
suspicion regarding it. However, I have no doubt but that this Zycena 
will turn out to be one of a few new species yet to be discovered on the 
dividing line between the Canadian and Arctic Lepidopterous faunas. 
Lyc#ana—? (lV. S.)—I sent one specimen of a species of this genus 
to Mr. Morrison, who informs me that itis “closely allied to epixanthe, 
but I think different. Congeneric with the castro of California and the 
xanthe of Europe. It is nearer castro than epixanthe.” This butterfly was 
taken at Sawhill’ River, Labrador, on 2oth of July, and, after all my mistor- 
tune, I was pleased that day. I trust that my talented friend, Mr. M., 
will shortly describe it in the Can. ENT. 
Lyc#na Lucia Azréy.—Common in the woods at Fox Bay during the 
month of June. It also occurs abundantly on the south-western coast of 
Labrador. Mr. Morrison appears to notice no difference between the 
Anticosti specimens and those taken in Western Canada, and the middle 
and the Eastern United States, but Mr. Strecker says that they are 
darker underneath than the United States specimens generally are. 
Lyc&®{NA SCUDDERI.—This is one of the most permanently marked 
species in North America. The Entomologist may occasionally obtain an 
obscure specimen, but upon thorough examination, it will be found 
prototypic of its congeners of the valley. The specimens forwarded to 
my correspondents differ in no particular from United States and 
Canadian examples. 
HESPERIA PANISCUS /abr.—A single specimen captured at Fox Bay, 
Anticosti, on the 26th June. It was sent to Mr. Morrison, who informs 
me that it does not differ in the slightest from the European specimens of 
paniscus. It is close to Mandax Edw. I feel convinced that the latitude 
of Quebec is the most northern limit of the Hesferzdans. Alypia Langton 
Couper. I was astonished when I met this beautiful moth in Fox Bay, 
Anticosti. Mr. Strecker states that “he found it in the mountains of 
Luzerne, Pa.” It is curious that since I described this insect, some years 
ago, it appears now in Western Canada and in high latitudes many miles 
south of Quebec. A. octomaculata was also taken at Fox Bay. 
SESIA RUFICAUDIS Kirby._-Fox Bay, Anticosti; uncommon. This 
species is very common at Quebec. 
DEILEPHILA GaLui Bott. (Gallii Schiff.)—Fox Bay, Anticosti, and 
_ Sheldrake River, Labrador ; uncommon, but abundant at Quebec. Mr.
