In the June number of the Canadian Entomologist, p. 114, there is a paper by M. L'Abbe Provancher, containing descriptions of a new genus, Platysoma, and 7 new species of Canadian Hymenoptera. Six of these new species, Ich. Vancouveriensis, Platysomatibialis, Limneria compacta, Mesoleptus fasciatus, Phylax pacificus and Phylax niger, are from Vancouver Island, and I am under the impression, for reasons which I will now state, that the specimens of these species from which M. Provancher's descriptions were made were from my collection, though no mention of my name appears in M. Provancher's paper.
