Reniform tinged with red, clouded anteriorly with black, and having a black central spot. Sub-reniform indistinct.

In the spring of this year I commenced collecting the Nectuæof this part of Canada, and in the hope that a list of my captures, with the dates of appearance, may be of interest, I venture to send the same for publication.

Being a stranger to the insect fauna of N. America, and in the absence of anything like a manual of the Heterocera, I shouls, even with the assistance of the Brit. Mus. Catalogues and Gueneæ's work, have had great difficulty in identifying my specimens.

Since the preceding portion of this paper, as well as much of that which follows in this and some following numbers, were placed in the hands of the Editor of the Can. Ent., I have received from Mr. Belfrage another collection of Tineina from Basque County, Texas, containing additional specimens of species found in the first collection, and several new species. The only species contained in this last collection which has been previously described from more western localities, and were not contained in the former collection, are Gelechia solaniella ? Cham. and strobisia iridipennella Clem. and Theisoa bifasciella.
