anal plate like the tubercles, which are large, those of joints 3, 4, and 13 

 brown punctured. On thorax tubercles ia -\- ib, iia -j- iib, large, elongate 

 longitudinally, iv -j- v ; on abdomen i larger than ii, obliquely elongate, 

 slightly dorsad ; iv + v, iv slightly dorsad. Feet short, normal ; tracheae 

 white ; dorsal vessel dark. 



Nymphceella maculalis Clem. A few specimens at light. 



Thyridopyralis gallcerandialis Dyar. Bred from galls in the 

 old wood of the Randia aculeata. (See Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc., 

 March, 1901.) 



Argyria nivalis Dm. One at light 



Cr ambus hastiferellus Walk. Also at light. 



Cr ambus mutabilis Clem. At light, commoner. 



Diatrcea saccharalis Fab. Rather rare at light. 



Chilo densellus Zell. Not uncommon at light. 



Stericta incrustalis Hulst. Bred from larvae on Nectandra 

 willdenoviana. (See Proc. U. S. Natl. Museum, XXIII, 283, 

 1900.) 



Benta floridella Hulst. The bred specimens furnished Dr. 

 Hulst's type. The larvae occurred commonly on the Guilandina 

 bonducella, uniting the leaves in a fine loose web which holds 

 frass and dead leaves, making an unsightly mass. Larvae of all 

 ages may be found in the web. They eat the leaves or partly 

 mine the leaf stem, but live in a silken tube without much frass 

 inside the web. Five stages were observed. 



Head rounded, not bilobed, the upper edge below joint 2 ; paraclypeal 

 pieces extending to level of tubercle i; dull whitish, heavily mottled with 

 brown spots in groups, width 2.2 mm. Body dead-leaf brown. Dorsum 

 rather broadly pale brown with a diffuse geminate red-brown stripe. 

 Rest of body pale wood brown with brown spots; a broad, heavy, black 

 subdorsal band enclosing tubercles i and ii in its upper edge ; a lateral and 

 a suprastigmatal (iii) dark brown line, .the lateral not fully distinct from 

 the subdorsal one. Feet short, crochets in a ring. Tubercles small, black ; 

 i and ii in line, iv and v approximate, but quite separate, v before and dor 

 sad to iv. On thorax ia and ib, iia and iib, iv and v, approximate in pairs. 

 Spiracles black ringed. Setae long, brown. Skin densely transversely 

 wrinkled, the segments otherwise 3-annulate, the anterior annulet small, 

 and not reaching the dorsum. Thoracic feet brown. Cervical shield and 

 anal plate both large and hard, but marked exactly like the body, the anal 

 plate being entirely brown, peppered with darker, as the bands are obsolete 

 on joint 12. 



Salebria celtidella Hulst. One at light. 



Honora dulciella Hulst. A captured specimen furnished Dr. 

 Hulst's type. 



Elasmopalpus lignosellus Zell. One example named by Dr. 

 Hulst.
