ardous. No second Phobetron-like moth is known north of 

 Florida. One would be inclined to suggest Monolenca semi- 

 fascia if the general characters of this species did not rather 

 imply an affinity with Euclea. 



No. 3, pi. 19, fig. 16 A thick, arched larva with broad dor 

 sal and lateral spaces, narrowing to the ends ; ridges poorly 

 marked and no horns, but all minutely pilose (?). Segments 

 well marked, incised in the lateral view. Green with a trans 

 verse yellow line on the posterior edge of each segment. 



Length 18 mm. Taken on the orange in Florida. 



I have no suggestion as to what species this may be. Possibly 

 it is not a Eucleid. 



Dr. Stiles read abstracts of a paper entitled " Some Practical 

 Points in Dipping Sheep for Scab." The points brought out in 

 this paper will appear in a forthcoming bulletin of the Bureau of 

 Animal Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture.

Under "Short Notes and Exhibition of Specimens," Mr. 

 Pratt showed larva? and imago of a saw-fly destructive to violets, 

 received from Rhinebeck, N. Y., Emphytus canadcnsis. Mr. 

 Pratt thought he had observed parthenogenesis in this species. 

 Discussed by Messrs. Ashmead and Dyar. Dr. Dyar showed a 

 species of Pleuroneura bred from a free feeding larva on hickory. 

 This is the first larva of the subfamily Xyelinae to be definitely 

 made known, and the first species of the genus known from 

 America. Discussed by Mr. Ashmead.
