Length 2.5 mm., width 1.1 mm. Pronotum and elytra equal in width, sides straight and parallel, elytra arcuately narrowed on the caudal third, very broadly obtuse behind; dark reddish brown; pubescence sparse, erect and yellow, more evident about the apex of the pronotum and on the elytral declivity.

The head has the frons broadly, feebly convex, the median line feebly carinate with a narrow, transverse epistomal impression, the entire surface subopaque from minute reticulations, marked with sparse, coarse, shallow punctures with minute setae on the caudal half, more finely and closely granulatepunctate in front, the punctures bearing long yellow hairs erect on the frons, longer and recumbent from the transverse impression, forming the epistomal fringe, the epistomal margin smooth, narrow and feebly elevated; the eyes with a deep triangular emargination.

During the past decade a considerable amount of work has been done on collecting and studying the crane-flies, Tipulidae, of New England. Johnson's basic list of the Diptera of this area (List of the Diptera or Two-Winged Flies. Occas. Papers Boston Soc. Nat. Hist., VII; 1925) recorded 264 nominal species, of which seven have been removed as being synonyms or as being based on mis-determinations. In the intervening years, 73 additions have been made to this list, bringing the corrected total to date to 330 species.

Male. Length 13.9 mm. Body olivaceous green as in the subspecies harrisii Leng, elytra immaculate.

Female. Length 14 mm. Color as in the male but with the middle band of each elytron represented by a very small, circular, submarginal spot; the apical lunule represented by a smaller spot.

Of the usual elongate oblong form, about 2-2/3 times as long as wide, moderately convex; color black with faint greenish lustre, base of antennae, tarsi, and in the male the apex of the front tibiae dull rufous. Pubescence thin, not concealing the derm, consisting of sparse subrecumbent fulvocinereous hairs abundantly intermixed with suberect black setae over the entire surface; pronotal and elytral marginal fringe of longer erect black hairs which are not at all recurved. Integuments polished throughout.

Lake Timagami is the centre of one of the few extensive pine forests of the Canadian Zone which still remain. The virgin conditions of half a continent make their last stand against lumbering and settlement in such regions as this; a study of its fauna seems, therefore, imperative to Canadian biologists.

This collection, of which a list follows, was made in the summer of 1932 though unfortunately no collecting was done during the period from June 12 to July 21. No attempt at life-history notes is made, but macro- and micro habitat of the adult are recorded where possible. Localities are indicated by initials and described separately.

To students of the involved generic nomenclature of the Palaearctic and Nearctic Diurnal Lepidoptera, the recent publication of the “Generic Names of British Rhopalocera” will prove of great interest. This pamphlet has been prepared by Mr. Francis Hemming at the request of the Committee on Generic Nomenclature of the Royal Entomological Society of London, and includes full details regarding type fixation and synonymy.

The “List of the Coleoptera of the Southern California Islands—” published by the senior author in 1897 (Can. Ent. 29, 1897, 233-244) was the result of more or less sporadic collecting upon the Channel Islands by several parties, few of them trained collectors of insects.

The following records are based on material collected, for the most part, by Mr. W. E. Whitehead of the Department of Entomology, Macdonald College, McGill University. For the opportunity of examining this material I am indebted to Sir Guy Marshall, F.R.S., Director, The Imperial Institute of Entomology, London.

Among some beetles kindly determined recently for the writer by Dr. H. C. Fall, was found a specimen of the European Staphylinid Deleaster dichrous Grav.
