  — 
  Neuronia 
  pardahs. 
  (After 
  Notman.) 
  

  

  An 
  example 
  of 
  this 
  insect, 
  was 
  taken 
  in 
  Keene 
  Valley, 
  N. 
  Y., 
  in 
  June, 
  

   1896, 
  which, 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  known, 
  is 
  its 
  first 
  capture 
  in 
  the 
  State 
  of 
  New 
  

   York. 
  Mr. 
  Howard 
  Notman, 
  its 
  fortunate 
  collector, 
  has 
  kindly 
  sent 
  a 
  

   colored 
  figure 
  of 
  the 
  

   insect, 
  from 
  which 
  the 
  

   accompanying 
  illustra- 
  

   tion 
  has 
  been 
  taken. 
  

   It 
  is 
  apparently 
  a 
  rare 
  

   species. 
  Dr. 
  Harris 
  

   has 
  recorded 
  two 
  ex- 
  

   amples 
  of 
  it 
  captured 
  

   near 
  the 
  Great 
  Mon- 
  

   iadnock 
  mountain 
  in 
  

   New 
  Hampshire. 
  Dr. 
  

  

  Hagen 
  has 
  given 
  " 
  Nova 
  Scotia 
  (Redman) 
  " 
  as 
  its 
  habitat 
  in 
  his 
  enumera- 
  

   tion 
  and 
  description 
  of 
  the 
  eight 
  North 
  American 
  recorded 
  species. 
  Mr. 
  

   Banks 
  has 
  added 
  Canada 
  and 
  Labrador 
  to 
  its 
  localities. 
  

  

  At 
  a 
  meeting 
  of 
  the 
  Cambridge 
  Entomological 
  Club 
  in 
  October, 
  1874, 
  

   Dr. 
  Hagen 
  mentioned 
  among 
  the 
  rare 
  captures 
  for 
  the 
  year, 
  an 
  example 
  

   of 
  this 
  species, 
  of 
  which 
  he 
  remarked: 
  "The 
  only 
  nearly 
  related 
  species 
  

   live 
  in 
  Japan, 
  the 
  northern 
  part 
  of 
  Europe, 
  and 
  in 
  Liberia. 
  They 
  have 
  

   the 
  peculiarity 
  to 
  fly 
  very 
  high; 
  this 
  specimen 
  was 
  taken 
  on 
  top 
  of 
  a 
  

   stage 
  coach."
