MISCELLANEOUS INSECTS. I also exhibit a number of alcoholic speci- 
mens of the larva and pupa, as also a mounted imago of the brilliant 
black, green and rust-red Lepidopteron, Eumenia atala Poey, recently 
collected by Mr. Schwarz at Cocoanut Grove, Fla., on Zamia integrifolia. 
The insect, on account of its brilliancy and its bright reddish larva, has 
been frequently treated of. I also exhibit another Lepidopteron a Noct- 
uid received from Mr. Schwarz, viz., Cloaiitha derupta Morr. , the larva 
of which Mr. Schwarz found upon Egg plant in southeastern Florida. It 
is interesting because of the great general resemblance which the larva 
bears to that of Laphygma frugiperda. 
Finally, I would present specimens of a new genus, Dendrotettix, 
family Acrididce. I had reared the species which formed the type of the 
genus many years ago in Missouri in all its stages, and propose to describe 
it under the specific name of quercus. The peculiarity of the genus is that, 
as far as we know, it is essentially tree-inhabiting.

FURTHER NOTES ON PHENGODES AND ZARHIPIS. 
By DR. C. V. RILEY. 
I exhibit herewith some further larvae of Zarhipis and its female. As 
compared with Phengodes this Zarhipis larva is somewhat more depressed, 
more parallel-sided, the thoracic joints less attenuated, and the pro-thoracic 
joint is more particularly shorter and transverse. When immature the 
color is pale, with but little brown, but when full grown the color becomes 
darker brown, an'd the general aspect, when the larva is stretched and 
active, is one that recalls the Myriapods upon which it feeds. The dead 
and dry specimens convey but a poor idea of the real form, as in life the 
larva can stretch to more than two inches in length and crawls easily and 
rapidly. The structure of the head is essentially similar but differs notably 
in the following particulars : The head itself is broader and more trans- 
verse, with the jaws broader and apparently more strongly elbowed near 
base. The antennae have a very strong bulbus and are three-jointed, as in 
Phengodes ; the nipple or terminal joint being stronger and the second 
joint being more often elbowed on the basil, /. e., directed more outward ; 
the joints are also somewhat stouter and shorter than in Phengodes. All 
the other trophi are similar to those of Phengodes, but broader and 
shorter; the maxillary palpi diverging more just as do the antennae. 
There are a few very strong bristles around the head, one near the front 
and one just behind the antennas being particularly noticeable. The sur- 
face of the body is somewhat more distinctly shagreened than in Phen- 
godes. The medio-dorsal depression the whole length of the body is 
stronger, and in the pale specimens the brown on the superior surface 
leaves a similar medio-dorsal spot each side this line near the base of each 
joint, just as in the paler specimens of Phengodes. 
I had the good fortune of seeing three of these larvae alive while in Cal-
