On the evening of 17th of April, 1898, a ♀ of this species entered my room, and was bottled and not looked at again until the morning of the 19th, when it was found that the cyanide in the bottle was exhausted and that the moth was still alive and had laid a considerable number of eggs. The eggs were distributed through the cotton wool at the bottom of the bottle, and this had to be carefully pulled to pieces thread by thread to secure the eggs.

The following species, with a few exceptions, were taken by Mr. E. P. Van Duzee and the author while on a very interesting and successful trip through southern and western Colorado during the latter part of July, 1900. These species are all strictly south-western in distribution as far as known, and most of them were found feeding on one or another of the peculiar plants of that region. While collecting in the valley of the Grand River, a number of species of Homoptera were taken, hitherto only known from the Californian region, and it is very probable that in turn several of these species, which were taken along with them, will, eventually, be found in California.

On page 191,Vol.XXXII., of the Canadian Entomologist (1900), Dr. Grote describes a new species of Catocala from Texas, C. moderna, related to C. viduata. If we place this as No. 7 in our list of the former article, and push the rest one number forward, it will bring C. relicta No. 21 instead of No. 20.

Anacampsis lupinella, n. sp.

Antennœ bronzy black with white annulations, slightly serrate, especially towards the tip.

Labial palpi long, smooth, recurved; second joint somewhat thickened, with appressed scales, dark ochreous brown; terminal joint longer than second, acicular, dark brownish, with tip black.

From time to time during the last two or three years, Dr. James Fletcher has sent me specimens of a curious Locustarian taken at Banff, Alberta, by Mr. N. B. Sanson, curator of the Government museum in the National Park at that place. The specimens were all wingless and apparently immature females, but quite unlike anything known from that region. A study of their structure showed that they belonged to the Stenopelmatini and were most nearly allied to the genus Cyphoderris. Now, Cyphoderris, though described by Uhler thirty-six years ago, is a rare creature and was on record from only two localities, Oregon and Wind River, Wyo., and only males had hitherto been taken. The probability that these immature and wingless females belonged with the winged males appeared to me, however, so great that in my recent catalogue of North American Orthoptera I recorded the species given in the title above as found in Alberta.

In September, 1899, I found this species fairly plentiful on sand dunes, in Rondeau Provincial Park, Kent Co., on the shore of Lake Erie. The sand dunes occupy a considerable area there, and in some places near the lake shore are thinly wooded with red cedar (Juniperus virginianus).

♀.—Length slightly over 3 mm.; antennæ pale brown, 2 + 15 jointed, the first two joints darkened; eyes united on vertex; thorax reddishbrown, dorsally shining, naked, with four very thin longitudinal bands of hairs; femora pale brown, tibiæ and tarsi darker; wings well fringed with hairs; abdomen nearly naked, bright red, ovipositor and a dorsal apical patch white; ovipositor moderately long.

Recently the writer made the statement (Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc., XXVII., p.87) that the generic name Theoclytes was a synonym of Vates, the latter being the older by one year. A further examination has shown that the matter should have been examined closer.

The species of Adranes are to be looked for in nests of ants belonging to the genrs Lasius. They are helpless creatures, lacking eyes and with much reduced mouth-parts, dependent probably upon the ants for their supply of food. They are carefully attended by their hosts, to whom they give requital in the form of a secretion, much appreciated by the ants, which collects on certain patches of hair situated on the tips of the elytra and on the base of the abdominal dorsum. The antennæ are much modified, consisting of only two joints, the second of which is very large and heavy, varying in form in different species.
