In a box of Lepidoptera sent to the Division of Entomology, for identification, by Mr. W. A. Dashwood-Jones, of New Westminster, B. G., was a specimen of the above named sphingid. The specimen was kindly named by Dr. J. B. Smith, who wrote of it, saying: “It is a genuine rarity, and in 1888 there was not a specimen known save the type. If I remember rightly, this is the first specimen other than the type that I have ever seen.” Mr. Dashwood-Jones states that this season he took seven specimens of ulalume; and, further, that he takes them every year in his garden, on white lilac blossoms. He mentions that he has never seen this moth anywhere else, but that for a few days in spring they appear to be fairly plentiful.
