STRAY NOTES ON MYRMELEONIDZ. BY DR. H. A. HAGEN, CAMBRIDGE, MASS. (Continued from page 93.) 5. Lalpares papilionoides Klug. I havenever seen this species, except the couple from Arabia Felix in the Berlin Museum, described by Klug, Symb. Phys., iv., pl. 35, f. 2 and 3. Rambur, p. 369, No. 5, described the species after Klug’s figures. Rambur and others, not excepting myself, believed that the male did not belong to the same species as the female. Klug calls it a variety. After a thorough study of the species in Berlin, I arrived at the conclusion that Klug was right, and P. cepfalotes Klug shows a similar but not so exag- gerated difference between both sexes. I have carefully compared the types with the figures, and found them to be very exact. Indeed, Mr. Weber was one of the best draughtsmen in Germany. PP. papilionoides had nothing whatsoever to do with P. aeschnoides, as McLachlan sup- poses. ‘The types of both species are in the Berlin Museum. 6. Palpares tmmensus, McLachl. The species is described, 1867, Journ. Linn. Soc., ix., p. 239. I have to state that the excellent description leaves no doubt that my P. comes noted without description, 1866, p. 456, is the same species. My speci- men is.a female from the Nagami Lake, presented by Prof. Boheman. Length of body 66 m.m.; exp. alar. 160 m.m. Iam glad that my manuscript name is explained ; at the same time I ask to cancel also P. conspersus Hag., 1. c. p. 456, from Nagami Lake, by Boheman, as the type has been destroyed ; there will be specimens in the Stockholm Museum. 7. Palpares Caffer, Burm. This species is mentioned, Burm., ii., p. 998, No. 23, with P. speciosus L., as follows: “A very similar but larger species, with the gray spots of the front wings very small, from south-east Africa, was received from the collection of Mr. Drége. Iname it JZ. Caffer. The abdomen of both sexes shows the same difference (as JZ. sfeciosus).” I have before me two females, one from Dr. Schneider’s coll., the other coll. by Dr. Wahlberg in Caffraria, from the Stockholm Museum. ‘The British Museum has four THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 111 specimens among Walker’s types of JZ. sfectosus. Finally I have seen the types of Burmeister in the Halle Museum. ‘The species is mentioned by McLachlan in his review of Walker’s paper ; as far as I know, it has never been described. Fem., length of body, 50 m.m.; exp. al. 120 to 130 m.m. AsI have no males before me, I give briefly the characters to recognise the females: The front margin of prothorax notched in middle ; with two transversal rolls, one before the front margin, the other before the hind margin; between them a flat, narrow, deepened saddle, perhaps eight times broader than long ; a longitudinal black median band is only a little enlarged on the saddle. /P. sfectosus has the front margin straight ; the black median band fills the saddle on each side nearly to the side margin ; the band is on the front roll triangularly dilated, but is wanting on the hind roll. This character is very good to separate directly both species. &. Caffer has the wings broader, more obtuse on tip, less spot- ted ; front wings saffrony, with smaller ashy gray spots; there are much less numerous little spots around hind margin, and nearly none on the disk ; ante-cubitals with black linear bands; pterostigma straw color; hind wings paler, about hyaline, the brown bands less large, not connected, the penultimate sometimes divided ; abdomen brown, darker below. The description of the appendages of the male is needed. I have two females from Pniel Station, Damaraland, which I had named P. sparsus. As this name is now pre-occupied by a similar, per- haps the same species, from Damara, by McLachlan, I refrain from giving a description. It is intermediate between P. sfeciosus and P. Caffer, but the black band of the prothorax is as on P. Caffer. 8. Palpares pardalinus Burm. Burmeister, Vol. il., p. 997, No. 20, describes the male from Orange River, South Africa, collected by Drége. In 1849 I bought the second specimen from Drége’s collection, also a male, which I have compared with Burmeister’s type still present in the Halle Museum. JZyrmeleon pardalinus Walk., p. 314, No. 26, a female from the Cape, is the same species. This was doubted by McLachlan, Journ. Linn. Soc., p. 275, and for the species the name P. drachypterus proposed. Rambutr’s species is different. In 1850, in Peters’ Voyage, p. ror, I had placed P. pardalinus together with the species of Pamexis. But I have corrected this in Stett. Zeit., 1860, p. 361, and 1866, p. 457. je THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 9. Pamexis contaminatus Burm. McLachlan (Review Myrmel. de Rambur) notes for this species that there exists an error in my Synopsis, as the AZ. contaminatus Burm. is a North American species. But he has overlooked that in my Synopsis, p. 433, 1s quoted JZ. contaminatus Burm., a species only named Vol. ii., p. 995, but the differences stated from JZ. irroratus from S. Carolina. This species belongs to Macronemurus, Synopsis, p. 424. The type is before me. Besides, Synops., p. 433, quotes JZ. contaminatus Burm., cold. Winthem, said to be Pamexis contaminatus ; Synops., p. 457, it is quoted with this name and the locality, Orange River. In the introduction of the Synopsis, p. 370, is stated: ‘Sometimes collection-names of unde- scribed species are quoted, soon to be published, or for another reason.” The publication was prevented by my going to America a few months later. The species, of which the type with the name in Burmeister’s hand-writing is before me, belongs to a genus so far distant from the N. American species, that it seemed to be not inconvenient to retain Bur- meister’s name, though he had in his publication not even mentioned it, as is stated by the words [from Winthem’s collection]. Now Pamexis con- taminatus is from the collection of Drége, and as his insects were sold to many museums and collections, I believed that Burmeister’s name would be found in other collections, and did retain it for this reason. Pamexis contaminatus is identical with the type of Rambur’s P. pardalinus. ‘This identity was only recognized by my study of the type after the publication of my Synopsis, in which P. pardalinus Rbr. is quoted with P. parda- Jinus Br. As the description of Rambur is sufficient, and the identity with Burmeister’s species is beyond doubt, I believe that the name P. con- taminatus can be accepted, instead of coining a new name for it, and therefore I propose to name it P. contaminatus. 10. Pamexis luteus Thunbg. The figure and the description of this species (perhaps the type is still in existence, but since it was nearly fifty years ago that I saw Thunberg’s collection, I would not state more) belong to JZ. venosus Burm., which after a careful study subsequent to the publication of my Synopsis, I find is identical with JZ. conspurcatus Burm.; both types in the Winthem col- lection. Rambur’s species, after the study of the type, I find is the same with JZ. venosus Burm, THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. rs NOTE ON ABBOT’S SPECIES IN THE BREMEN MUSEUM. BY A. R. GROTE, A. M., BREMEN, GERMANY. In the Bremen Museum are specimens collected by Norwich in the Southern States in the beginning of the century, which bear evidence of having been determined by Abbot, as there are one or two MS. names credited to him. I note here merely a 2 specimen of Parorgyia leuco- phea; this is paler, the outer line followed by brown shadings, as com- pared with our Northern C7/ntoniz, and agrees with a specimen collected by myself in Alabama, and previously described in Can, Ent. There is then no doubt that’ our Northern C?/:ntondi is a valid species. There is also a specimen of Catocala neogama. ‘This bears out my statement that neogama is distinct from our Northern communis Grote (= neogama Guen. nec Abbot). The hind wings are lighter yellow as figured by Abbot, while our Northern communis has them of a dusky ochrey yellow, and there are a number of other comparative characters whereby the two may be sep- arated. I should then be disposed to consider all determinations of our Northern species as zcogama to be incorrect. I may take occasion later on to allude to other species from the Southern States in the Bremen Collection. NOTE ON MISTAKEN IDENTIFICATIONS. BY A. R. GROTE, A. M. In the course of my studies I have been able to point out a number of cases in which the species illustrated by earlier authors have been identi- fied with allied forms inhabiting the Middle and Eastern States and parts of Canada, I must think wrongly. Dr. Harris has furnished a number of instances in point, chiefly, perhaps, in “interpreting the figures of Abbot. It must not be forgotten that the locality has much to do with the forms of Lepidoptera. -The different climate and physical conditions of the Southern States could not fail to impress the Lepidopterous fauna of that region. The topography of the country, the climate, as, indeed, I say on page 215 of the Can. Env. for 1886, must be duly considered in this question of related forms. In his writings Dr. Harris describes our Northern Phlegethontius celeus, for the more Southern species carolina. 114 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. He identifies our Pri/ampelus pandorus with the species sated/itia, which seems to be South American, and not to occur within the limits of the United States, or, as we write, North America. Equally in the smaller moths he wrongly identifies his (Parorgyia) achatina, which is not Abbot’s species, but our northern C@iztonzi. In the Woctuide his identi- fication of his Apatela americana with either of the forms figured by Abbot is, at least, probably premature. Abbot’s drawings, which I have studied as closely as possible, make it probable that there are two Southern species of Parorgyia, leucophea and achatina, not found in the North, and I believe I have correctly identified the former in two female specimens, one of which I found in Alabama. While writing, I am reminded of another curious identification of Dr. Harris’s in the Co/eoptera. He says, House Report, April, 1838, p. 72: “In France, a large insect, called vinaigrier (CaRABUS auratus L.), de- vours the female JZe/olontha vulgaris at the moment when she is about to deposit her eggs. I have taken one specimen of this fine Caradus in Massachusetts.” No other author I have seen refers to this identification of an American species with the European C. auratus. Abbot’s work must be studied in connection with Southern collections, and his observations be verified in all stages, before we can be quite sure in all instances that we have his species before us. That he sometimes ‘mixes ” his species is, I have thought, proved by his plate of Catoca/a amasia, where he gives us different species for sexes of the same ; and this may not be the only instance. Among Abbot’s smaller moths, I have at least identified correctly his (Adita) chionanthi, a Noctuid sparingly found in New York State, but which is so plainly marked that the identi- fication can be relied upon. Leaving Dr. Harris and coming to Guenee, there is no doubt now (after freshly comparing Southern specimens) that this eminent writer wrongly identified our Northern species Catocala communis Grote, with Abbot’s neogama. ‘The typical form of communis as it occurs with us has the primaries of an obscure smooth olivaceous gray with distinctly drown markings ; the hind wings dusty ochrey or brownish yellow. C. zeogama has the fore wings black shaded over paler, purer gray with bright yellow secondaries. While the two are of a similar size, there seem also certain differences in the band of the hind wings. As I originally pointed out. Guente also mistakes Abbot’s vidwa. It seems to me probable, however, that the vidua of Guente, or viduata, which I have called Catocala THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 115 Guendi (to avoid all further confusion and because Guenée’s alteration is unessential and merely covers a wrong identification) has been sent, to Europe as vidua of Abbot, either by Abbot or determined as after Abbot by collectors in the Southern States at the commencement of the century (1800). Abbot, I have said, figures probably what Guente calls desperata. But it is not essential to recover now this name of Abbot’s. It was applied at a time when black winged Catocale were a great rarity and when the number of species now known was not guessed at. When we know all the Southern forms ad ovo, then it is time enough to be certain what Abbot meant by viduva. If my supposition that thereby he intended our desperata turn out correct, later lepidopterists may make the change, I call our Northern species desperata Guen., and Guente’s vidua, which I have proved not to be Abbot’s and have certainly identified, GUENEI. HINTS ON COLLECTING HYMENOPTERA. BY W. HAGUE HARRINGTON, OTTAWA. To have the specimens in a collection look well, and at the same time be in a condition such as to render their examination as easy as possible, it is necessary that they should be properly collected. The ordinary cyanide bottles prepared either with plaster of Paris, or sawdust, which are used for Lepidoptera and Coleoptera, do not furnish good specimens of Hymenoptera, and those collected in alcohol are less satisfactory. I have found the method advised by Dr. Williston (Psyche, vol. iv., p. 130) for collecting Diptera, so satisfactory that I will quote a portion of his description :— “T select several two-ounce, wide-mouthed bottles of the same form, and carefully line the bottom and sides with a good quality of blotting paper. Good firm corks are selected, which are interchangeable in the different bottles ; in one of these corks a small hole is made, in which it is better to fit a small metallic ferule; a strip of blotting paper is thon coiled within this cavity, and it is over this that a few drops of a solution of cyanide of potash is poured.” For those who may not desire to keep on hand a solution of this poison, I would suggest a modification of this method which I find very 116 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. satisfactory. Scrape a few grains of cyanide into the cavity in the cork and then insert a small wad of damp cotton wool or sponge. The fumes will be readily given off, and it is only necessary to occasionally renew the cyanide. As Dr. Williston suggests, it is well to have several bottles, but it is sometimes impossible for the collector to take more than the minimum amount of apparatus, and he will then limit himself to two, reserving one of them for delicate or smail insects. Bees should never be placed in a bottle with previous captures, as honey is often disgorged, and the speci- mens greatly injured by the matting of pubescence and soiling of the wings ; the pollen which the bees so generally carry is almost as bad in its effects. The safest and most desirable plan is for the collector to carry a supply of small pasteboard pill boxes, and transfer his specimens frequently to these, putting only one specimen of such insects as Bombus ina box. ‘These boxes can be obtained of very small sizes, permitting a sufficient number to be packed in a small space. ‘Their use ensures per- fect specimens and enables the collector to keep a better record of them by numbering the boxes, and in his field note-book entering full particulars of the contents of each. When possible, it is better to pin the insects before they stiffen, but if time or circumstances do not permit of this, they will keep safely in the boxes, and may be at any time easily relaxed in a damp atmosphere, care being taken not to allow them to become wet. In pinning it is not at all necessary to set the wings and feet symmetrically, unless one has plenty of time and desires pretty specimens. The wings, however, should be separated, so as to admit of a full examination of the venation both of the anterior and posterior ones, and of the metathorax and the basal segments of the abdomen. BOOK NOTICES. It is a cheering sign of the zeal and energy and ability that are being brought to bear upon Entomology that there should be so rapid an increase in the literature of this department of Natural Science. Thcugh several: works of importance have been recently noticed in these pages, there are still many others which we desire to acknowledge, and to bring before the notice of our-readers. ‘This, however, we can do but briefly, as so much space has of late been given up to literary notices.

Dear Sir,—In the article of Henry S. Saunders, on Collecting at the Electric Light (Can. Ent., Feb., 1887), he gives his experience in the use of cyanide of potassium and chloroform as follows: “ Cyanide of potas- sium I found the best poison ; a few drops of chloroform on cotton would quiet them more quickly, but was more troublesome, the chloroform having to be frequently renewed, occasionally as often as four or five times during the same evening, and sometimes even then the moths would be found alive the next morning.” I should like to explain my method of collecting with chloroform. I have found it better than any other, whether at the electric light or in the field : Take a glass fruit jar, one in which the lid screws down upon a rubber cushion or packing. Put a bunch of cotton in the bottom, retaining it in its place by pressing down upon it a circular piece of pasteboard, made to fit tightly in the jar, except that two or three notches should be left in the edge for the chloroform to run through to the cotton. Saturate the cotton with chloroform and screw the lid down tight. The bottle is now ready for use, and it will be found that an insect dropped into it will be suffocated almost instantly by the fumes of chloroform that completely fill the bottle. A feeble flutter for a second, a kick or two, and all is over. As soon as the insect is dropped into the bottle, screw the lid down again, and as it fits air tight, the chloroform will not evaporate too rapidly. Less than a teaspoonful will last for a whole evening’s work. If on retiring from the work the chloroform seems nearly exhausted, it would be well to pour in a few drops more, and then close the lid for the night. If these precautions are taken the insects will never revive. ; Chloroform, when used in this manner, will be found to possess many advantages over any other poison. It is quicker in its action, much more convenient, and under all circumstances entirely harmless. I use this form of collecting bottle both for the electric light and in the field. The bottle will contain, without injury to the specimens, the captures of a whole evening, or a whole day. If, through carelessness, so much chloroform has been poured into 120 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. the bottle as to saturate the pasteboard on which the specimens rest, their wings may become moistened and somewhat damaged. To prevent accidents of this character, pack a bunch of crumpled newspaper tightly down on the pasteboard before putting in any specimens; the paper will be dry, and will prevent the insects from coming in contact with the moist pasteboard. For Coleoptera I use a morphine bottle prepared in the same way, except that the newspaper is not wanted, and it is closed with a cork. I always carry such a bottle in my pocket ready primed, and thus am always prepared for preserving any specimens captured incidentally while engaged in other affairs. J. A. Jackson, Des Moines, Iowa.

Cambridge, May 9g, 1887. [ADV. | Che Canadtn Entomologist. VOL. XIX. LONDON, JULY, 1887. No. 7 ABOUT NAMES. BY A. R. GROTE, A. M., BREMEN, GERMANY. I have read, as all of us have, the review of a book by C. J. Maynard, on our Butterflies, by Mr. W. H. Edwards, and which appeared in the February number of the CaNnapiAN ENntTomo.ocist. Whatever Mr. Edwards writes is trenchant and to the point, so that we have received the impression that Mr. Maynard’s book is really not what it ought to be, is not up to current scientific knowledge, and is inferior in its illustrations. There is no more to be said about the book on this head ; its publication will probably do very little real good, except perhaps that here and there a reader into whose hands it may chance to fall may have his interest excited in the subject, and so be led to buy a better one, as, for instance, that of Prof. French, to say nothing of Mr. Edwards’s splendid volumes. But I was interested in Mr. Edwards’s remarks about the names of butterflies, in which the critic leaves his prey to ‘ regret to say that Mr. Scudder is our greatest sinner in this respect” (p. 39). Mr. Scudder, who never defends himself, might well need a champion as far as I understand the average opinion of students. I am all unworthy to assume such a role, and am not at all called upon to do so, nevertheless as what I have to say is rather in mitigation of his offence, I must be regarded somewhat in that light. And first, we are all sinners, miserable sinners, as the Church puts into our proper confession, but I doubt if it is right for us to apply the word ¢wter nos. There has been quite a shower of adjectives unenlivened by wit, as well as of censure unre- deemed by humor, and often unexcused by candor, in our entomological press, and to this I have, in my humble way, quite strongly objected. We are not authorized by our positions to assume so much, nor is our subject sufficiently important, as the world goes, to warrant the issue of ukases upon entomological topics. The particular offence of Mr. Scudder in the matter of names is that of the English ones. Now Eng- lish names for insects existed before Latin ones, as might indeed be ee, THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. supposed. I think it is De Saussure who assures us of the ultimate triumph of the English tongue in the contest for existence between the languages, and it is a matter of at least secondary importance that the English names of our butterflies come into use. A butterfly has as good a right to an English, or common name, in an English speaking country, asa plant. And plant names are part of our literature, of our poetry. Perhaps what I said in the “ Popular Science Monthly” might be repeated here. ‘The introduction of common names for our Lepidoptera is evidently a matter not to be forced, but to be left to itself’ The rule of priority which Linnzeus appointed to govern Latin names cannot obtain here. Some of our butterflies have received several English names, as our ‘‘ Milk-weed butterfly.” Some of the names for moths in use in England are very pretty, such as the ‘‘Arches” and ‘“ Wainscots.” English names will, itis to be hoped, gradually appear in our American literature and come into use. The vernacular names proposed in our economic works, mere translations from the Latin, are often very ugly and have nothing to commend them. But see what lovely names they have in England for their moths! The “ Kentish Glory,” the ‘ Peach Blossom,” the ‘ Buff Arches,” the ‘Common Wainscot.” About the vernacular names for our moths must come the cooling touch of time ; they cannot be struck out in the heat which accompanies the coining of a Latin name for a new species (struggling for priority). Around their cradle some tutelary divinity must hover ; some old and idle tale, like an ancient crone, must be its nurse ; out of some melody, dedicate to fields and flowers, must the words be taken which are to serve as the common title of the insect haunting these pastures. And not the first but the best known, and in itself the best name, must be chosen, and to exercise this choice there must be some literary taste in the writer, some quaint appositeness in the name itself, Here, in Germany, with its wonderfully supple language, and the frequency of compound words, common names have been easily made and pass current. My young friend Eugene, as to trusting whom with a cyanide bottle I feel some scruples, talks quite glibly and confidingly to me about the ‘‘Grosser” and “ Kleiner Fuchs ;” the latter he has not been able to catch yet, but he knows how it looks from his little handbook, which has fairly good figures and the common name preceding the Latin one for each species. It seems to be a fact, and I do not see how Mr. Edwards can get around it, that young ento- THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 123 mologists, aefat 10 for instance, prefer their living nursery language to the dead one from the tombs. And we are well counselled to remember the little ones always! What would I not have given to have known the common names for our insects on Staten Island in the fifties ! What Mr. Maynard may choose to call our butterflies cannot be thrown up against Mr. Scudder, who, as I understand it, has merely pro- posed corresponding titles for our butterflies with those used in England, as the “ Blues” and ‘‘ Coppers,” using these names in somewhat of a generic sense and supplying some fresh titles of his own, whether fortunately or not, I am not here enquiring. This is a matter subject to a later review on occasion. Certainly we must be guided by some gen- eral agreement with English names in use in England for similar but different species, and this without a too vigorous enquiry. Certain hairy caterpillars in England (and in Germany also) are called *‘ Bears ” (I don’t know what brings Bacon’s curious sentence, “the body of nature is elegantly and with deep judgment depicted hairy,” etc., into my mind), and there are certain common names used in a generic way from re- semblances occurring to the casual observer. These we must use, and for my part I think that, in a natural way, we shall come into using certain common names as collecting becomes popular among the young and as popular books increase with us. Far more than on this head am I concerned about Mr. Scudder’s proposed book on our butterflies. I think there is a mean between Mr. Scudder’s Latin nomenclature and that of Mr. Edwards, which latter is based on Doubleday’s, and perhaps since Doubleday we may have advanced in our knowledge as to the structure of butterflies, and are authorized to express this advance in our Latin names. It is many years ago since Mr. Robinson and I set about classifying our Diurnals, and this was before Mr. Scudder’s classification. I only published about that time the genera Feniseca and Calephelis, and as these are not objected to, I think that what I here say, with great diffidence, is entitled to some consideration on both sides. I am quite satisfied, and was before Mr. Scudder, that our Hackberry butterflies, ce/tzs, clyton, etc., do not belong to the European genus Afatura, and that the structural characters separating the two are real and of generic value. Also am I of opinion that our eastern arthemis, ursula, disippus, eros, form a group of themselves, distinct from Zémenitis proper, and that Mr. Scudder’s 124 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. term BSastlarchia should be retained. On the other hand I think Mr. Scudder’s divisions of Argyunis and Lycaena are not valid, as now shown by Prof. Peabody and others. I hope Mr. Scudder will not retain these, and also that he will be guided by Dr. Speyer’s classifica- tion of the Hesperidaec. These latter afford good, apparent, readily understood generic characters as we understand these in the moths, and there is nothing gained by making too many genera out of them on ““measurements.” These latter are now proved to be illusory, and should not be again brought forward. As to the general arrangement of the families, the arrangement of Meigen and others, commencing with the groups in which the front legs are useless for walking, and which are taken out of the ambulatory series, has an approved philosophic basis. It is warranted under Prof. Dana’s theory of cephalization. Mr. Scudder’s paper on the structure of Papi/io in the Transactions of the American Entomological Society, has not been answered. I think the caterpillars of Papilio are of a lower type than those of the rest of the true butterflies, and that there are no reasons for placing the ‘“ Swallow Tails” at the head of the rest except that they are large and showy insects. The structure of the feet is evidently of importance no less than the method of pupation, and this is recognized consistently in Mr. Scudder’s arrange- ment. ‘There is certainly no system in commencing with the groups with six walking legs, then following with those of four, and winding up again with those with six. The moths have generally six walking legs, and the abortive front pair may be consistently regarded as a later phase. I have great confidence in Mr. Edwards’s remarks as to genera, that these can be traced in all stages from the egg upwards, and in this respect it would be well if Mr. Scudder, for the sake of reason, which, as Zschokke says, is the “daylight of the mind,” would abate from hair-splitting. But I have great regard for Mr. Scudder’s general appreciation of classificatory characters and those which point to higher or lower rank and which determine the confines of large groups, and on this head it would be well if Mr. Edwards relented from his present views. ‘There is then, to my mind, a possible agreement between the two authorities, and that such an agreement would be of great value cannot be doubted. Where there is any reasonable principle involved, I advise neither to give way. - Time, Mr. Strecker’s friend, must level such differences by throwing more light on the subject. But much that divides the two scientists lies in the THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 125 wide domains of unreason, upon which we all trespass during our earthly journeyings, and where many of us, I am afraid, almost permanently reside. STUDIES OF THE NORTH AMERICAN PROCTOTRUPIDA, WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES FROM FLORIDA. BY WILLIAM H. ASHMEAD, JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA. Sub family PLATYGASTERINE. In this second paper on the North American Proctotrupide, I have taken up the sub-family P/latygasterine, comprising, for the most part, small black species, all parasitic in larve belonging to the Dipterous families Cecidomyiide and Tipulide. It will be seen that I have recognized in our fauna species in all of the described genera but /phetrachel/us Haliday, and one new genus parasitic on Cecidomyious hickory galls. XLVI. Zphetrachelus Haliday. XLVI. Adotropa Foerster. 74 (1). vol. 1, But. N. A., in 1869. At that time very few examples were known, and the same is true as to Alexandra, originally described in 1863. It was not till Mr. Mead col- lected in the summer of 1871, in Colorado, that A/exandra became better known. Since then a vast deal of collecting has been done in Colorado, and Alexandra is found in every collection. Hdwardsii yet differed from Alexandra, as known up to 1869, in the shape of the wings, these being narrow, the fore wings pointed apically, the hind margins incurved ; 230 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. in contrast to the shorter and broader wings of 4/exandra, with rounded apices and hind margins. The fore wing of the female had more or less of a marginal border, and there was an orange discal spot to hind wing. In Alexandra, the female had no border, but was immaculate, and there was but a pale discal spot, if any at all, on hind wing, and never orange. There were other differences of less importance perhaps, but the ones mentioned were enough to make the separation of the two forms not merely proper but imperative. In 1877, Pr. Cal. Acad. Nat. Sci., Mr. Henry Edwards expressed the opinion that Hdwardsii was but a variety of Alexandra, and with my present experience, I can only join in the same conclusion. The two females which came from one laying of eggs, as before related, were of the two types in many respects. One was immacu- late, and altogether, in color and markings, the typical Alexandra as figured in B, N. A. (and like the mother insect), the other had the mar- ginal border of Edwardsiz, while both had the pointed wing given as characteristic of the latter. The species is Alexandra, and Ldwardsii a variety of the same. Among the many examples recently sent me by Mr. Bruce are two albino females, one with, the other without, any traces of marginal borders. Usually the discal spot on under side of hind wing is without a circlet, but I have two males with a narrow brown ring, and one of these has a second small spot, such as appears in many species of the genus. One of Mr. Bruce’s males has a broad, not very distinct, border outside the ring. Generally the fringes throughout are yellow, but occasionally they are pale pink. Some examples have no pink at base of hind wings, others a minute patch of it. In none have I ever seen a trace of sub- marginal spots on either wing below, or of a patch at outer angle of hind wing. NOTES ON THE GENUS ARGYNNIS WHILST ALIVE IN THE IMAGO STATE. BY GAMBLE GEDDES, TORONTO, ONT. 1. Arc. Lats, Edw. A new species discovered by me in 1883, whilst collecting for Mr. Henley Grose Smith, of England. It was described by Mr. W. H. Edwards shortly after my return. In the end of June and beginning of THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 231 July, I found this insect easy to capture. It was comparatively rare in some districts of the North-west Territory, but at the principal crossing of the Red Deer River and the neighborhood of Fort Edmonton, it was quite common. When the orange lilies of the prairies, Lz/iéum Philadel- phicum, were in bloom, I took many specimens of both sexes upon these flowers, and could approach them quite easily with the killing bottle, and so avoid the necessity of using a net and running the chances of rubbing their wings. Mr. Edwards has figured this species in Part I., Vol. III., of the “‘ Butterflies of North America.” 2. ARG. CYBELE, F, Taken at Edmonton and surrounding country, flying in company with Lais and attracted by the blossoms of the numerous vetches which occur in that district. 3. A. Coronts, Behr. This beautiful insect I found most common at Fort Macleod, but I also took specimens in the Kicking Horse Pass, and at Calgary, 100 miles north. Here they were not by any means plentiful. It occurs princi- pally late in the season when the harvesting is going on, and when the Golden Rod is in bloom. At the entrance to the Kootenay Pass many perfect specimens were taken. The specimens captured were very vari- able, and one was thought by Mr. Edwards to be new; it turned out however to be Coronis. The specimen was called by him Arg. Baucis, and is now in the collection of Mr. Henley Grose Smith, Isle of Wight. 4. A. CHARICLEA, Schneid. 5. A. BoIsDUVALLII, Somm. I took both these species in the Crow Nest Pass, and both at great altitudes. Strange to say, I saw none of them in the foot-hills, or the rolling prairie, but last summer Avg. Chariclea appeared in large numbers in the hills at Port Arthur, Lake Superior. It would be useful to know from any members of the Society what their observations have been regarding the localities of these species. They seem to be in perfect order all through the summer, and quite like 4A. MWyrina in this respect. 6. A. ATLANTIS, Edw. This species occurred in all parts of the Mountains, and was at its best in the early part of July. 252 . THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 7. A. EuryNomE, Edw. First taken about Calgary, N. W. T., and afterwards in all the valleys here and there through the Rocky Mountains. It has many varietal forms. ‘The silver spots on under side of secondaries are nearly covered over with yellow and green scales in some specimens, whilst in others they are silver to the very edges of the spots. This species was abundant in the vicinity of the Crow Nest Pass in all its forms, including Zrinna and Avge. Some of the specimens also varied much in size, the smallest being about the same measurement across the primaries as Arg. AM/yrina. This was particularly noticeable in the males, the females being for the most part of an uniform size. 8. Var. ERINNA. 9. Var. ARGE, Strk. No notes were particularly taken in connection with either of these forms. . ArG. Cio, Edw. i capturing this insect in 1883, I thought that I was the happy possessor of A. Lischoffii or A. Opis, and wrote to Mr. W. H. Edwards to that effect. It turned out otherwise, however. 4. Clio was first seen by me and taken in small numbers in 1883, but in 1884 occurred more commonly in several distinct localities. 11. ArG. ARTONIS, Edw. This is uncommonly like CZo, in my opinion, and I have not been able to distinguish one from the other up to the present time. 12. A. Monticoua, Behr. I took but very few of this species in the Crow Nest Pass, and they varied much from other specimens I have seen, notably from California. In the Kicking Horse Pass and other localities in the Rocky Mountains, however, larger varieties were captured resembling very closely specimens from the southern slope of the Pacific coast. The silver spots usually found in the Argynnidz on the under side of the posterior wings were entirely of a yellow color, and no appearance of silver was visible in the smaller specimens, whilst in the larger varieties more than two-thirds of the spots was covered with silvery scales. 13. A. Epwarpsil, Reak. 14. A. NEVADENSIS, Edw. A, Edwardsii is a lively insect to follow with a net, and a man must THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 233 be in excellent training to do much with it in that way. I have been led away a long distance from my camp (and often from a well-earned meal) upon seeing one of these insects flit by. It is, like its cenfrere Arg. Nevadensis, a bewitching and tantalizing creature— bewitching because of the beautiful combination of the pale green and silver of the under side in the sunlight, and the red and orange of the upper side which contrasts so wonderfully and at which one gets a glimpse occasionally during its flight. It flies more like the Satyride, by which I mean it folds its wings completely over its back whilst flying, and seems to traverse a long space until it becomes necessary to open the wings again to prolong its flight, or to settle on the ground. Tantulizing, I call it, because it indulges in short and rapid flights, making one suppose it is an easy matter to follow it a few yards and then capture it. I have had to creep along on all fours sometimes, and occasionally drag myself along on my stomach, to secure these specimens, and then have missed about 50 per cent. of the number followed. Vevadensis and Edwardsii do not fly high, and when alighting after a short and rapid flight, they expand the wings to the full extent, until the edges touch the ground. ‘This of course is when they alight on the bare soil, which they frequently do. Like most Argynnidz, they are both fond of the thistle, and are much more easily approached when sip- ping honey from the flowers than when they come down to the ground. 15. A. Bettona, F. This small species has been taken in large numbers in the vicinity of Brandon, Manitoba, and the further west I proceeded the rarer it became. At Calgary it was quite rare, and resembled Zpzthore very much, with the exception of the darker colors on both upper and under surfaces of the wings. 16. A. Myrina, Cram. Only at one point in the North-west was this species common, and that was about 50 miles west of Calgary. As in this part of the country, marshes and the edges of streams were the principal haunts. a7. #C) Trictaris, Hub: Taken only at extreme altitudes, where snow was plentiful on the neighboring hills and peaks. 18. A. Leto, Behr. This is a remarkable looking insect on the wing, and until the eye becomes accustomed to it, may be taken for a Papilio. I allude to the 234 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. ?, for I cannot remember seeing a f flying, or if I did, was not pre- pared to make notes about it. As most of our collectors are aware, the 2 andthe ¢ differ in appearance considerably, the female being a very dark brown (almost black) and yellow, whilst the male is red and brown like any other Argynnis. I append a list of Argynnidze which I have myself taken at different times, with notes on their flight and habits. 1. Arg. Lais, Edw. Very lively on the wing, but easily captured with cyanide bottle from flowers. 2, Arg. Cybele, F. Precisely the same as Cyde/e in this Province in its movements. I never saw Cyde/e from the time I left St. Paul, Minn., until IL arrived at Edmonton, N. W. T. 3. Arg. Coronis, Behr. Extremely lazy and easy of capture. I have walked through patches of golden rod and knocked the stalks and flowers about considerably without disturbing Covonzs. I have also taken them between my thumb and forefinger without any attempt at escape. 4. Arg. Chariclea, Schneid.; 5. Arg. Botsduvalliiz, Somm. Not a particularly lively fly. Often difficult of capture, as it flies high in the air at certain parts of the day, particularly the evening. I was not aware that these were separate species until my return, and so my notes apply to both. 6. Arg. Atlantis, Edw. a te ame For (Associate) Members ‘in ‘the, United!
