10 BULLETIN OF THE BROOKLYN ENT. SOC. 



Chariclea umbra Hufn. 



Pyrrhia exprimens Walk. 



On comparing specimens of C. umbra received frcm Europe 

 with P. exprimens I could find no difference in coloration or mar- 

 king. The European specimens were somewhat smaller. 



Calocampa solodaginis Hub. 



" GERMAN A MoTT. 



Lithomia " Grote. 



Specimens of C. germana received last year from Albany N. Y. 

 proved identical with C. solcdaginis of Europe. I am inclined to 

 the opinion that this is an imported species. It has been known 

 but a short time, although it is quite common now in Albany. It 

 is not likely that this species would have escaped the attention of 

 such industrious collectors as Mess. Meske, Lintner aud Hill until 

 the last few years, if it were a native and to the manor born. 



That a number of species of coleoptera and lepidoptera are brought 

 to our shores from foreign countries through the channels of com- 

 merce is certain. A friend of mine who imported willows from Ger- 

 many and France told me, he often found strange beetles and moths 

 in his loft where the willows were stored. This was in the busy part 

 of New York where no vegetation was near to afford sustenance' to 

 any native species. 



Xylina ikgrica H. Sch. 

 " pexata Grote. 

 On comparing X. pexata with the European X, ingrica I find 

 them to be identical. 



There is no doubt when our Lepidopterists become better acquain- 

 ted with the European Noctuidae we will find a great number of 

 species which are common to both continents and are known here 

 under different specific and generic names. 



Edw. L. Graef.
