OF WASHINGTON. 451 



Food plants Philibertia viminalis and the delicate vine above 

 recorded as the food plant of Danais berenice. ( Vincetoxicum 

 palustre.} 



Dilophonota edwardsii Butl. Rather less common in 1900 

 than in 1890, but no marked difference. The eggs are always 

 abundant on the leaves of the Carica papaya, but a very large 

 proportion are worthless. Only the green form of the larva seen 

 in 1890; both forms in 1900. (Larva, Ent Amer., VI, 141.) 



Cautethia groteiUL&vt. Not uncommon in 1900 ; the larvae on 

 \\\zChiococca racemosa. They are of a decidedly ChaBrocampid 

 appearance (Larva, Psyche VII, 385, Proc. U. S. N. M., XXIII, 



255). 



Enyo lugubns Linn. At flowers in 1890; not seen in 1900. 



I have not found the larva unless it be the species feeding on 

 Randia aculeata which I bred from egg to stage III. This was 

 green with red horn, the oblique lines white, only the first and 

 last ones distinct. (Notes B 871.) 



Pachylia ficus Linn. A specimen at light in 1890 and another 

 in 1900, the larva not seen ; probably it is only to be found in the 

 summer. 



Protoparce Carolina Linn. Specimens were bred on tomato 

 in 1890. 



Amphonyx antceus Dru. Bred from larvae on custard apple 

 (Anona laurifolia) in 1900. (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., XXIII, 

 256.) 



To this list Mrs. Slosson adds Aellopos tantalus, Amphion 

 nessus, Ampelophaga onotus, Protoparce cingulctta and Dolba 

 hylceus. \ 



SATURNIID^E. 



Telea polyphemus Cr. Mr. Kinzel picked up a young larva 

 on the beach. The species belongs to the fauna of the west coast 

 of Lake Worth. 



Hyperchiria io, var. lilith Streck. This is the form of to oc 

 curring in South Florida. A male example came to light in 1900. 

 No larvaB were seen at Palm Beach, though I have had them at 

 Miami (from the pine barren region), in appearance exactly like 

 normal io. 



SYNTOMID^E. 



Cosmosoma auge Linn. Not uncommon in both years. The 

 delicate larvae found on the Mikania scandens. (Larva, Psyche, 

 VII, 414.) 



Didasys belce Grt. A moth was taken in February, 1900, but 

 not by myself. The species is very rare in the winter season, and 

 I was not successful in my efforts to find the larva.
