110 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



species, found on Vicia Carolinensis. Mr. Hopkins wrote : — " The 

 larvae, when young, feed on the tender leaves and the flower buds ; as 

 they grow older they feed on the leaves and stems, eating the stems 

 square off." The adult larva is very like that of Pseudargiohis in shape 

 and appearance; length at rest .34 inch ; breadth .05 inch; height .05 

 inch ; long oval, the ends equally rounded ; the dorsum high, a little 

 flattened at top and sloping either way from about the middle ; the last 

 segment flattened ; segment 2 is bent forward as in Pseudargiohis, and 

 entirely conceals the head when at rest ; it is depressed in the middle 

 and thickened and cushion-like^about the outer edge ; colour pale green, 

 the sides of the ridges marked by short, whitish, oblique bars, each bar 

 crossing two segments ; along the base a whitish stripe ; on mid-dorsum 

 of II is a cross slit, but I saw no fluid issue from it; on 12 the two 

 cylindrical tubes and their tentacles were persistently thrust out and 

 expanded. I got none of these larvae to pupse owing to a failure of food. 



7. Neophasia Menapia, Felder. 



Mr. Wright, in August, 1891, sent me eggs of this species obtained 

 by him in vicinity of Mt. Shasta. They were laid 28th August, and I 

 supposed would hatch immediately after arrival. But they have lived 

 through the winter, and now, 15th March, look as fresh as when received. 

 I was unaware that any species of Pierid hibernated in the egg stage. On 

 24th March, the day being warm, I brought the eggs into the house. On 

 4th April each egg had changed to white, and the black head of the 

 young larva was visible through the shell. I thought they would soon 

 hatch, but the larvae died in the eggs. There must be two broods of 

 the imago, and probably the eggs of the first one hatch a few days after 

 laying. 



8. Colias Philodice, albino male. 



Since the issue of the March No. of C. Ent , I have received a letter 

 from Mr. George A. Ehrman, of Pittsburgh, Pa., calling my attention to 

 his report of the capture of an albino male of this species in Ent. News., 

 Vol. I, pp. 93 and 130. Since two males have been taken, it is to be 

 inferred that others must exist in the proper season. Taking it for 

 granted that all the white examples were female, I never searched for 

 males, and so it has been probably with other collectors. 



9. Colias Christina. 



The first examples known of this species were described by me in 

 1863, and came from Great Slave Lake — 3 t^, i $ — the males deep 

 orange, the female yellow.
