 Abundant at Salem on poplar. I secured a large series of this 

 species from a little patch of scrubby poplars on the crest of a hill 

 near Salem on Aug. 14. They agree perfectly with the well pre- 

 served types in the New York State Museum and fit the Fitch 

 description which for this species is quite distinctive. Mr Van 

 Duzee secured it at Lake Placid and Phoenicia and has hereto- 

 fore reported it for Lancaster and Hamburg. A single specimen 

 in the National Museum is representative for the typical form, 

 while the New York State collection includes representatives for 

 the varieties imder numbers and letters precisely as given in the 

 published description.
