Mantispa interrupta and M. brunnea in New England. 
In 1913 (Psyche Vol. 20 p. 170) the writer recorded a spe- 
cimen of M. interrupta Say, from Lake Boone, Stowe, Mass. 
This year the collection of the Boston Society of Natural History 
has been enriched by two additional specimens. The first was 
taken by Mr. Henry A. MacDonald at Lake Cochituate, Natick, 
Mass., July 3, 1925, and the* second by Mr. E. J. French, at 
Nutting’s Pond, Billerica, Mass., July 6, 1925. All three spe- 
cimens were taken on window screens. 
In 1913 there was but one specimen of M. brunnea Say 
(Walpole, Mass.) in the Society’s collection. Now there are the 
following additional specimens - Hampton, N. H., June 30, 1918 
(S. A. Shaw), Milton, N. H. Aug. 20, 1923 (A. F. Magrew), 
Centerville, Mass., July 15 (C. J. Maynard) and Canton, Mass. 
June 25, 1919 (D. H. Linder).

On July 13, 1925 Professor Ulric Dahlgren captured at 
Salisbury Cove, Mt. Desert, Me. a specimen of the white-banded 
day-sphinx, Aellopos titans Cram. It is considered by some 
authors to be a variety of A. tantalus Linn. This is probably the 
most northern record for this southern species. There is also in 
the collection of the Boston Society of Natural History a specimen 
of this moth, taken at Cohasset, Mass., a number of years ago.
