Hairs short, dusky, long and pale from the third wart, only a few from 

 the fourth which is colorless. Anal flap pale. Cervical shield scarcely 

 cornified, brownish, bisected. The larvae vary a good deal in coloration. 



PTEKOPHORID^E. 



Pterophorus monodactylus Linn. The larvae occurred rarely 

 on the Ipomcza hederacea* feeding on the young leaves at the end 

 of a shoot. Green, without marks, except a brok e n white dorsal 

 line, and traces of a segmentally arcuate subdorsal band. Warts 

 round, i and ii confluent, a single hair behind iv-}-v, no second 

 ary hairs. Hairs whitish, stiff, some of those from i -f- ii black 

 ish. Later a straight broad yellowish subdorsal band. Last 

 stage. Dorsum narrowly blackish, especially at the base of 

 warts i + ii, which are contiguous, not confluent. Rest of body 

 yellowish green, the subdorsal and a lower waved subdorsal band 

 faint. Spiracles black ringed. Hair stiff, blackish dorsally, pale 

 laterally. Wart iiib more remote from iv+v than before and a 

 little dorsad. Some dark hairs from wart iv + v. 



Pterophorus sp. A very interesting stem borer occurred in 

 Iva frutescens, but it could not be bred. Larvae lived until 

 May 28, on stems of the Iva kindly sent me by Mr. Kinzel from 

 time to time, but no pupae were obtained. (Notes, B 868.) 



COCHLIDIIDJE. 



Sibine stimulea Clem. A few larvae in both years, rarer in 

 1900. They feed on almost anything. The two larvae seen in 

 1900 were on Sebastiania lucida and Verbesina virginica, re 

 spectively. 



Euclea delphinii Guer. Not seen in either 1890 or 1900, but 

 a few examples secured in an intervening year. (See Journ. 

 N. Y. Ent. Soc.) 



Alarodia slossonice Pack. A few empty cocoons on the man 

 grove in 1890. Rather common in 1900, mostly on the man 

 grove but some on Myrsine floridana and traces of the larvae on 

 one bush of Ardisia pickeringia and Myrica cerifera. The 

 plant mentioned (Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc., VI, 160) as " another 

 plant not determined " proves to be Hypelate paniculata. No 

 larvae were seen on this tree at Palm Beach, though it occurs 

 sparingly. 



SESIID^E. 



Sesia seminole Beut. A pair taken by Mr. P. C. Truman in 

 1900, and kindly presented to me, are now in the National Mu 

 seum. 



TORTRICID^E. 



Caccecia georgiana Walk. Prof. Fernald named the moth 

 with a query. The larvae were found webbing together the leaves
