In my previous article upon this subject, I treated upon the classification and the particular distinguishing characters of the genus Harpalus ; in this I wish to call attention to their specific differences, by noting those variations of form or structure which are so constant as to cause us to consider them as denoting distinct species. The general form of the beetles of this genus is oblong-oval, rather broad, thorax quadrate, and in length from .30-1 inch, black piceous, shining. Our northern exceptions to this colour are H. viridiræeneus, Beauv., and H. erraticus, Say, the former being bright brassy-green, the latter dark ferruginous or the colour of immaturity.

on the 15th of June 1869, I obtained several Thecla larvæ by beating over an umbrella the branches of some small oak trees growing in a cemetery about two miles west of London. Not having met with them before I at once took the follorving description : Length, ·40 in., onisciform. Head small, pale greenish-yellow with a minute black dot on each side. Mandibles pale brown, with a faint whitish patch immediately above them. Body above yellowish-green, streaked above with yellowish-white, and thickly covered with fine, short, white hairs ; second segment of rather a darker shade of green than the rest of the body.

In the Proceedings and Transactions of the Nova Scotian Institute of Natural Science (1868-9, p. 78-87), I have given a list of some specimens of Nova Scotian Lepidoptera, sent me for determination by the esteemed President of the Institute, J. Matthew Jones, Esq., of Halifax. Among these was included a new species of Anarta, the description of which I reprint here, as many of those interested in this department of Entomology may not have access to the original publication.
