THE MESILLA VALLEY COTTONWOOD LEAF-MINER DETERMINED
Authors: Townsend C. H. Tyler 
Published: February 2010

Among the first insects which I found upon my arrival in the Mesilla Valley of New Mexico, in March, 1891, was a small sawfly. My notes on this species were made as follows at the time:-March, 1891.—Specimens of a small yellowish and brownish sawfly were found quite abundant flying everywhere from middle to last of March. They were not found on any plant, but their numbers make it probable that they will turn up as injurious to some plant.

CANADIAN HYMENOPTERA.—No. 3
Authors: Harrington W. Hague. 
Published: February 2010

In my last paper (see page 32) I unfortunately repated the erro made by Provancher in giving Vancouver as the habitat of Ecihrus provancheri. I overlooked its correction (Can. Ent., Vol. XVII, page 160) by Mr. Brodie, who obtained the insect from Muskoka.Having recently restudied and rearranged my Ottawa collections of Phyllphaga and Xylophaga, so as to prepare for publication in the Ottawa Naturalist a complete list of the local species, I have made some notes which may be of more general interest. There are also several species, apparently new, which I prefer to describe here, as I think that all new species should be described (or at least redescribed) in some publication devoted entirely to Entomology, and accessible to all students.

A NEW ARRANGEMENT OF THE COLEOPTERA
Authors: Patton W. M. Hampton 
Published: February 2010

Coleoptera may be described as Mandibulate Insects, with the forewings horny and the two basal abdominal joints invisible on the venter.A reduction in the number of abdominal joints at the tip and in the number of joints in the tarsi indicates advancement in rank among Coleoptera. Likewise, a specialization of the antennae to clavicorn or lamellicorn indicates advancement, as well as does the degradation of the larva.
A METHOD OF SECURING MOTHS' EGGS

A practical way of procuring moths's eggs under my observation last season and the season before, though an Arctia ornata ♂ that I sent to Mr. Dyar while he was in Portland, Oregon.When I take an Arctia ornata ♀, and she is ready to lay eggs, the moment she shows signs of being stupefied in the Cyanide bottle I take her out, close the wings over her back, and place her in a paper envelope; as soon as she revives, she will commence to scratch the paper with her legs; I then shake the envelope, and if she has given up some eggs, I take them out, give her another dose of Cyanide fumes, and when she revives a second time I have found as many as 125 eggs in the paper.

THE COLEOPTERA OF CANADA
Authors: Wickham H. F. 
Published: February 2010

V. The Coccinellidæ of Ontario and Quebec.This family includes a moderate number of beetles, usually of compact, convex and often more or less hemispherical form, coloured as a rule in striking patterns of yellows or reds and black. In most cases the surface is glabrous, though in Scymnus and some less extensive genera it may be plainly pubescent. Technically, the family may be known by the clavate antennæ, the three-jointed tarsi with dilated second joint and the partially membranous dorsal abdominal segments; the ventaral segments are free, the first usually with coxal lines, and the claws ordinarily appendiculate or toothed.

In describing the larval characters of this family (Proceedings of the Boston Society Natural History, 1894, p. 399),I followed the arrangement of generic terms in Smith's list; but I believe that it can be improved. So I would arrange the genera of this neat little family as follows (following Hampson):-Fore wing with a tuft of scales at internal angle.
THE COLEOPTERA OF CANADA
Authors: Wickham H. F. 
Published: February 2010

X. The Dytiscidæ (Dytiscini and Cybistrini) of Ontario and Quebec.The species included in the above tribes are all large or moderate sized insects, and among them are found those in which the perfection of specialization of the ♂ tarsi reaches the highest pitch. The basal disks on the anterior feet often attain considerable dimensions, while occasionally we find three well-marked sizes of disks on the same foot—as, for example, in Acilius. These make beautiful preparations for microscopic study, the method of treating them being as follows: cut off the leg a little below the knee, and place the severed piece in an aqueous 25% solution of caustic potash for a few days, until it becomes nearly transparent. Then take out of the potash and place in soft water for twenty-four hours, next removing to strong alcohol for about the same length of time. If now placed in oil of cloves for several hours, it is ready to be mounted on a slide in the ordinary way for examination by transmitted light. A great deal depends on carefuily watching while in the potash solution; the specimen should not be so dark as to obstruct the light-rays to any very great extent, nor so transparent as to render the overlying parts to be separated with difficulty from the underlying, as in the latter case the chitin is often rendered so pliable as to lose the original form. Each species has its own arrangement of disk bearing hairs by which it may be separated from its congeners, though the resemblance is sometimes very close.
REMARKS ON APATELODES SUGGESTED BY AN ARTICLE BY MR. SCHAUS
Authors: Dyar Harrison G. 
Published: February 2010

Mr. Schaus, in describing some new species of South American moths (Proc. Zool. Soc., Lond., 1894, p. 233), casualty refers the genus Apatelodes to the Eupterotidæ. As this genus has been placed among the Notodontidæ by American authors, it may be worth while to examine the arguments for this position.The Eupterotidæ of Hampson are a series of mostly large moths from India, with geometriform markings, of a peculiar and rather characteristic appearance. The body is proportionately rather small and slender, and the fringes of the wings are long. Their hairy vestiture, broad wings and short cell suggest the Lasiocampidæ, where they are placed by Kirby. They are, however, frenate, and with the venation essentially of Notodontidæ, but without the accessory cell. Two genera, at least, are included (Gangarides and Cnethocampa), which differ considerably in habitus. In these, the body is stouter proportionately, the wings are narrower and the cell longer, while the general appearance suggests the Notodontidæ rather than the other Eupterotidæ. Mr. Hampson separates these families by the absence of the tongue in the Eupterotidæ; but, as this member seems to be equally lacking in the notodontian Melelopha (Ichthyura), the separation seems hardly very sharp.
NOTES ON PSYCHODA
Authors: Banks Nathan 
Published: February 2010

Mr. A1ex. D. MacGillivray has sent me some Psychodidæ from Ithaca, N.Y., for names.Psychoda Slossonœ, Will.One male (June). The wings are clothed with blackish hair, and with two broad irregular white bands. The fringe on the posterior margin is blackish (in superba whitish); the abdomen clothed with white hairs (in superba with black); the legs are paler and with more white hair than in superba; and the white hair on head and thorax is not as long nor as dense asin P. superba. A female (Aug.) which is larger and more thickly clothed with white hair is, perhaps, the same as Williston mentions, and is, I think, the female of this species.

REVIEW OF A FEW MORE PROVANCHER TYPES OF ICHNEUMONIDÆ
Authors: Davis G. C. 
Published: February 2010

In making a study of the Provancher types of Ichneumonidæ while at Quebec a year ago last winter, the type of many of the more recent descriptions was not found in the collection. Since that time types of many of the Abbé's latest descriptions have been found to be with the ones who sent the material, and are not lost, as was at first feared. Mr. W. H. Harrington, of Ottawa, has quite a number of these types, and through his kindness and generosity I have been privileged to study the types in his possession. The following notes are the result of this review:Ichneumon citrinus ♂ = Hepiopelmus, Wesm.—This would be an Amblyteles by Cresson's synopsis.

NOTES ON APHILANTHOPS
Authors: Baker Carl F. 
Published: February 2010

Within a short time two very interesting species (4-notatus, Ash., and taurulus, Ckll.) have been added to this genus. I have lately received another new species from Mr. Chas. Palm, of New York City, collected in S. W. Utah, which is even more interesting than the two above mentioned. I describe it herewith:Aphilanthops utahensis, n. sp.—Male: Length, 7.5 mm. Rufous; region of ocelli, mesonotum, metapleura, and fifth and sixth abdominal segments above, blackish. Markings pale lemon-yellow. Head evenly, somewhat sparsely punctate, covered with silvery pubescence, which is very dense on the face, extending over the bases of the mandibles in two pointed tufts. Clypeus with a yellow spot on either side, the median lobe strongly tridentate, the teeth short and blunt. Antennæ with scape yellow; flagellum slightly darker above.
THE LIFE-HISTORY OF PAMPHILA MANITOBA, SCUDDER
Authors: Fyles Thomas W. 
Published: February 2010

I think that I am the first man who has witnessed the hatching of the eggs of Pamphila Manitoba. I take pleasure in the belief; and I am glad to add another chapter to the history of our North American Rhopalocera.Pamphila Manitoba is a sub-Arctic species. The first specimens taken in the neighbourhood of Quebec were captured by Mr. Hanham and myself in September, 1892 (See 23rd Rep. Ent. Soc., Ont., p. 31). The species had, in previous years, been taken at Riviére-du-Loup en bas, Cacouna, Metis, and Gaspé (See Mr. H. H. Lyman's article, 22nd Rep. Ent. Soc. of Ont., p. 27). In 1893, it appeared at Quebec on the 5th of August, and this year a specimen left the chrysalis, in my house, on the 21st of July. It would seem as if change of climate and locality were bringing forward the insect's time of appearance.
NOTE ON THE SETÆ OF THE LARVÆ OF THYATIRIDÆ, AND A CORRECTION
Authors: Dyar Harrison G. 
Published: February 2010

Recently I have examined the larvæ of some European Thyatiridæ, and find the setæ arranged exactly as in our species. [See Proc. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist., 1894, p. 399.] The supplementary seta behind iii. varies a little in position, but is uniformly present. The species examined are Habrosyne derasa, Thyatira batis, Bombycia or, B. duplaris, Asphalia ruficollis, and A. fluctuosa. A correction must be made in my description just referred to (pp. 400–401). The species there described in all its stages as “Thyatira scripta” is really Pseudothyatira expultrix. The following list may straighten out the matter:—Habrosyne scripta.1883. Thaxter, Papilio III, 10. Describes egg and sixth stage.

NOTES ON SOME REARED HYMENOPTERA, LARGELY PARASITIC, AND CHIEFLY FROM OHIO
Authors: Webster F. M. 
Published: February 2010

Elachistus ohioensis (MS.)Ashmead.—Reared from pupæ, in which stage it probably passes the winter; found November 7th, within the shells of beech-nuts, the kernels of which had been attacked and eaten by some kind of larva which had burrowed out these kernels, leaving only a mass of excrement. A hole in the shells indicated an attack similiar to that of some species of Balaninus, though, as I found no larvæ of them, it was impossible to learn their exact nature. Locality, Wooster, Ohio.Cirrospilus flavicinctus, Riley.—This was described in Lintner's First Report as being reared from Bucculatrix pomifoliella, Clemens, in Missouri, and also New York. My rearings were from Aspidisca splendoriferella, Clem., the cocoons of which were collected near Cleveland, Ohio.

While studying the habits of Gelechia gallæ-diplopappi, I have repeatedly met with a parasite, in the galls of the moth, that I have not found elsewhere.I have submitted imagos of the species to several of our most eminent hymenopterists, and all agree that the species is new to science and undescribed. To Mr. Ashmead I am indebted for the information that it will properly come into Föster's genus Trychosis.
