454 ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY 



ventrally. A line along vi is distinct and almost continuous. Without a 

 lens one sees a white subdorsal line bent up on the hump on joint 12 and 

 a subventral one. a broad yellowish substigmatal line; these only dis- 

 tinctty, the others resolve themselves with a lens. Feet yellow green, 

 claspers reddish. Setoe distinct, black ; iv at the upper corner of the spir 

 acle on joint 5, above the middle on joint 6, a trace below the middle 

 on 7, at the upper corner on 8 to 10 even above the spiracle on the latter, 

 half way to tubercle v on n, below the lower corner on 12. Spiracles 

 white, black rimmed. On joints 3 and 4 all the tubercles are well sep 

 arated and normal. The larva turned pinkish and entered the ground. 



Food plant Condalia ferrea, young leaves. 



Euthisanotia timais Cram. Not common. The food plant 

 was not determined. Eggs obtained from a 9 at Nassau, B. W. 

 I., appeared as follows : 



Egg. Spheroidal, circular from the vertical aspect with about 28 ribs, 

 rounded, not very sharp yet quite distinct and regular, running nearly to 

 the vertex; each rib is separated by the width of two reticulations. These 

 are uniform, fairly distinct and quadrangular, a nearly straight line run 

 ning along the apex and hollow of each ridge of the same distinctness as 

 the cross lines. Uniform light yellow. Diameter .8, height .7 mm. 



Doryodes bistrialis Gey. This species inhabits the swamp 

 region, the larva on the saw grass (Spartlna juncea). The egg 

 and first stage only were noted : 



Egg, Very large in proportion to the moth ; cylindrical centrally, as 

 high as wide, the top rounded, the base less sharply so ; about 30 low ver 

 tical ribs, not strongly marked and with a very slight wavy outline on the 

 edge; no cross striae, no reticulations. Dull cream color, not shining, 

 later with irregular brownish freckles. Diameter and height each i mm. 



Stage I. Head elliptical, narrowed above, vertex under joint 2; clypeus 

 reaching one-third to vertex; luteous, the sutures darker; two faint broad 

 longitudinal brown bands on each lobe, parallel to the body. Ocelli dark ; 

 labrum with central smoky line; width .6 mm. Body slender, uniform, a 

 trace flattened, feet on joints 9, 10, and 13. Central part drawn out, the 

 feet of joints 9 and 10 very close together, the anal pair long and diverg 

 ent; thoracic feet large, colorless. No shields. Whitish, with fine lat 

 eral red lines and a dark slaty colored shade from joint 8 posteriorly to u 

 anteriorly including the feet of joints 9 and 10. The lines are subdorsal 

 (tubercles i and ii), lateral, stigmatal (iii-iv) and two broken subventral 

 ones. Tubercles minute, black, normal, no subprimaries. Leg shields 

 of joints 9 and 10 blackish with a T-shaped black mark below. Subven 

 tral fold broadly whitish. Cervical shield striped, but more luteous than 

 the rest of the body. The gray shade is from within showing by trans 

 parency ; after eating the larvae became gray the whole length.
