The paper was discussed by Dr. Gill, who suggested Oligo- 

 desmus as a more appropriate generic name. Also discussed by 

 Messrs. Howard, Dyar, Ashmead, and Currie. 



Mr. Dyar presented a paper entitled 



IDENTIFICATION OF THE EUCLID LARVAE FIGURED IN 



GLOVER'S "ILLUSTRATIONS OF NORTH 



AMERICAN ENTOMOLOGY." 



By HARRISON G. DYAR. Ph. D. 



This work was not examined in time to include references to 

 it in the " Life Histories of the New York Slug Caterpillars," 

 which I have been publishing in the Journal of the New York 

 Entomological Society. I therefore give a list of the Eucleid 

 larvaB figured in it, with notes on those forms which have not 

 been bred. Many of the larvas were unknown to Glover by name. 



Euclea delphinii Bdv. The larva is figured pi. n, fig. 5. 

 The figure pi. 10, fig. 21, seems to represent the same thing, 

 perhaps immature and parasitized. 



Euclea indetermina Bdv. Larva, pi. n, fig. 8, and pi. 109, 

 fig. 8. 



Sibine stimulea Clem. Larva, pi. 10, figs. 18 and 19. 



Adoneta spinuloides H.-S. Larva, pi. 95, fig. 18. 



Parasa chloris H.-S. Larva, pi. n, fig. 3. - 



Sisyrosea textula H.-S. Larva, pi. u, fig. 2. 



Phobetron pithecium S. & A. Larva, pi. 14, fig. 4. 



Eulimacodes scapha Harr. Larva, pi. n, figs. 6, 7, and 10 ; 

 pi. 95, fig. 20. 



Apoda biguttata Pack. Larva, pi. 14, fig. i ; pi. n, fig. n. 



Heterogenea jlexuosa Grt. Larva,, pi. 95, fig. 19. 



Tortricidia fasciola H.-S. Larva, pi. n, fig. 14. 



UNIDENTIFIED LARVAE. 



No. i, pi. ii, fig. 9. I have taken this larva and think it is 

 Sisyrosea nasoni Grt. An account of it will appear in the New 

 York Journal, probably during 1898. [See Journ, N. Y. Ent. 

 Soc., March, 1899, Vol. VII, p. 61.] 



No. 2, pi. ii, fig. i, and pi. 20, fig. 40. The first figure shows 

 an elliptical flattened larva, pale bluish-green, with a subdorsal 

 white line. Lateral horns, eleven in number, pointed, constricted 

 at base, smaller towards the extremities except the pair on joint 

 13, which are suddenly larger. No subdorsal horns except little 

 stubs on the first two segments, but Glover remarks, in the text, 

 " has peculiar glass-like spines on the back, which unfortunately 

 were broken oft'." The second figure is pale green without marks,
