Extract

In the following notes, two European species, one a pest of Lilium, are recorded for the first time from North America; an European pest that was introduced into the United States is recorded from Canadian localities; and a Mexican species not noted previously from the United States is recorded from Texas. The five forms described as new belong to difficult groups in which the species show strong monophagous tendencies.

* Provancher redescribed melanocephala and recorded it from eastern Canada in 1877 (Petite Entomologique du Canada, vol. I. Coleopteres, p. 648). The Provancher Collection now contains a single faded specimen of L. lilii labelled Lema melanocephala Say. If this specimen, which bears no other label, is of Canadian origin, it is surely from an introduction which failed to persist.
