he adds, “ This may be the same as A. dunningii.” A comparison 
of the two descriptions will leave little doubt that the species are 
identical. In renaming 4. dunningii an injustice is done both to 
the author of this species and to the person in whose honor it was 
named. Again, in the Canadian Entomologist, Vol. XXXIII, No. 8, 
p. 231, he writes: “Zpeolus lectoides n. sp. 9. — Closely resembles 
E. lectus Cr., and may be the same." Described from one specimen. 
Additional instances might easily be given. An author who will 
publish such descriptions as these certainly shows little desire for 
the advancement of the interests of science.
