211, the specimen having been said to be from Florida. See 

 Ent. News, 1917, XXVIII, 82. Dr. F. D. Godman, Ann. 

 Mag. Nat. Hist., 1907, XX, 144, cites magica Ploetz, as a 

 synonym of radians. 



Choranthus haitensis n. sp. 



The description of radians will answer for this species. It differs as 

 follows. Upperside: Primaries: Nervures black, the fulvous not den- 

 tate into the fuscous border. Secondaries: Fuscous border entire. Under- 

 side. Primaries entirely fulvous, excepting the base and the border of 

 the inner margin. Secondaries entirely fulvous. 



Described from a number of specimens from Haiti and San 

 Domingo. The only definite localities are Samana Bay, San 

 Domingo, (Dr. W. L. Abbott) and the type male from Port 

 de Paix, Haiti, VII, 27, 1917, (Dr. W. L. Abbott) and a fe- 

 male with the same data. 



The sex mark distinguishes these two species from any 

 Pamphilinae known to me. Type in the collection of The 

 Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia.

It may be worth while to note here that the body of the 

 larva after emergence is so much greater in bulk than the 

 capacity of the sac that it is plainly evident it must occupy 

 much of the abdominal chamber of the jassid, using the sac 

 possibly as a spare room into which to expand as growth 

 adds to the volume of the body. 



THE COCOON 



When ready to construct the cocoon, and this usually 

 follows closely on emergence, the larva seems best satisfied 

 to select the groove of a curled grass blade or even to locate 

 on a flat blade, and there, with its body parallel to the axis 

 of the leaf it makes its cocoon. The silk of which the cocoon
