Sylepta anormalis Guen. The larva was not uncommon on 

 the leaves of "morning glory" (Ipomcea sp.}. At first it 

 stitches the leaves together ; finally it forms a rather character 

 istic tent on the upper side, partly folding a leaf together with a 

 web above. (See Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc., March, 1901.) 



Sylepta fluctuosalis Led. Professor Fernald determined the 

 moth for us with a query. The larvae were very common as leaf 

 rollers on the nettle (Bcekmeria cylindrical). They roll up a 

 leaf, wrapping in around with the back side inward and tying 

 it with bands of silk on the outside. 



Head squarish below, mouth projecting, slightly bilobed, the apex 

 under joint 2; clypeus high, the paraclypeal pieces reaching vertex; pale 

 green, jaws black, visible through the transparent labrum ; paraclypeal 

 pieces smoky black ; a heavy black-brown band on the lower angle of the 

 cheeks from jaws to back of head; mottlings also on the vertices of 

 lobes posteriorly; width 1.8 mm. Body moderately robust, not tapering; 

 translucent whitish green, tracheae white, distinct; dorsal vessel dark 

 green. Cervical shield large, transparent, but with a broad black lateral 

 margin that reaches round posteriorly opposite tubercle i of joint 3. 

 Tubercles moderate, transparent ; those of joint 3 faintly dusky bordered. 

 Hair tubercle itself brownish ; setae pale, rather long. Tubercles i and ii 

 nearly in line, iv and v united, normal ; on thorax ia-}-ib, iia-(-iib, iv-(-v. 

 Feet pale, normal. Spiracles whitish. 



Sylepta gordialis Guen. The larva lives on the Pisonia 

 aculeata, but is at times injurious to the cultivated Bougainvillia. 

 (See Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc., March, 1901.) The egg is laid on a 

 leaf or stem toward the end of a branch. It is perfectly flat but 

 somewhat thicker and more opaque than a Cochlidian egg. 

 Elliptical, i.o x .8 mm. slightly shining, milky translucent; re 

 ticulations distinct, linear, irregularly pentagonal. Shell irides 

 cent. 



Several larval stages were observed but not in sequence. I 

 have published a description of the mature form. 



Dichogama amabilis Moschl. The larvae of this pretty moth 

 were found rarely in tight box-like abodes between leaves of 

 Capparis jamaicensis. (See Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc., March, 

 1901.) The last two stages only were observed. 



Dichogama redtenbacheri Led. The larvae were common oc 

 casionally on the Capparis cynophallophora, between closely 

 united leaves. (Can. Ent, XXXII, 271, 1900.) 



Dichogama bergii Moschl. The larvae occurred with the last, 

 but much larer. (See Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc , March, 1901.) 



Evergestis dyaralis Fern. The larvae appeared sporadically 

 on the young leaves of the Drypetis crocea, in a loose, open, 

 delicate web that disappears after the larvae are gone. Not gre 

 garious, though many occur on the same branch, owing to the 

 scarcity of young leaves. Last two stages observed.
