 bluish white centered with faint brownish streaks; subdorsal band pale 

 ocherous edged like the dorsal one; then a pale lilac space; suprastigmatal

Eumestleta flammicincta Walk. (= Thalpochares patula 

 Morr.) A specimen at light. 



Remigia latipes Guen. Not uncommon in the artificial lawns, 

 the larva feeding on the grass (Cenchrus). (Proc. U. S. Nat. 

 Mus., XXIII, 276.) 



Bleptina caradrinalis Guen. Two examples at light in 1900. 



Palthis asopialis Guen. Rather common at light. 



Bomolocha manalis Walk. A single specimen taken. 



Mrs. Slosson adds to this list Pyrophila trapogonius, Ingura 

 pygmcea, Litoprosopus futilis, Acontia debilis (determination 

 not certain), Litosia convalesccns, Anticarsia gemmatilis and 

 Antibletnma minorata. 



GEOMETRID^E. 



Rachcospila saltusaria Hulst. Bred from larvas on Condalia 

 ferrea (see Psyche, IX, 118.) The Iarva3 were such perfect 

 mimics of the numerous little green twigs than arise from the 

 older brown branches of this tree that it was impracticable to look 

 for them, as even if seen they would not be recognized. Those 

 obtained were gotten by chance while looking for other things. 



Synchlora excurvaria Pack. (== Nemoria denticulata Walk.) 

 Bred in 1890 (see Ent. News, V, 62, 1894) ; also, an example 

 at light in 1900.
