P. venosa, and P. virgin-lea, the data for which species indicate 

 a possibility that they may be regularly or partially two- 

 brooded. 



The identifications are mainly on authority of Mr. Nathan 

 Banks, to whom thanks are due. While the author has per- 

 sonally collected most of the species listed, a number of records 

 have been obtained from other collectors, as shown in the text. 

 The letters E, C, W, E-C, etc., are used to denote the geo- 

 graphical situation of localities, as east, west, central, east- 

 central, etc. As a rule the more southern forms of life are 

 found in the east and southeast parts of our State, while the 

 more strictly northern forms are found in the west and north- 

 west parts. Specimens are in collections of the Department 

 of Agriculture at Raleigh, or in the collection of Mr. Banks, 

 or collections of the other persons mentioned:
