While I was rearranging my Lycaenidae to conform with the McDunnough List, I found it necessary to check some forms which were not determined. Some of these proved to be new. In this paper, I present descriptions of these new butterflies.

The preceding part under this general title was published in 1944 (Can. Ent. 76: 166 - 172). At this time I am characterizing some Eriopterine crane-flies from the three Pacific Coast states that were collected and sent to me by Messrs. Otto Degener, James A. Macnab, Axel L. Melander, Herman A. Scullen, and the late Millard C. Van Duzee. Except where indicated to the contrary later in the text, the types of the novelties are retained in my collection through the generosity of the collectors.

To the best of the writer's knowledge, complete descriptions of the larva of this widespread species do not occur in the literature. The larva, one of the most frequently encountered grass-feeders, may be collected abundantly by sweeping lush grasslands. It is first noticed in numbers early in May. All individuals are small, having hatched from eggs laid by moths which had overwintered as pupae. By the end of May the majority have pupated, and adults appear on the wing in June. From the eggs of these developes a second generation. A third appears in August.

This genus is related to Damalis Fabricius. It is distinguished by having the dorsum of thorax clothed with very dense yellow pile (as in Bombomina); this pile is mostly erect and so dense that the ground color is almost concealed. The species of Damalis are more sparsely haired, with the pile mostly recumbent and not at all concealing the ground color.

On August 10, 1943, the Guelph sanitary inspector brought into the Entomological Laboratory at the Ontario Agricultural College an envelope containing six dipterous maggots taken from a baby's mattress. The mother of the infant was very upset, as she had no idea what the “things” crawling out of her baby's mattress were, and was considering taking some action against the furniture company from which she had purchased the mattress only ten days previously.

Peach trees throughout the Okanagan are frequently attacked by a borer which has been generally referred to in the past as Sanninoidea exitiosa Say. It is doubtful, however, if specimens of it were ever submitted for authoritative determination prior to 1940.
