322 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [July. >o8 



One moth emerged in the laboratory in May, 1908, and this 

 was identified by Dr. Harrison G. Dyar as Crocigrapha nor- 

 inani, Grote. Several other pupae were alive at this time, but in 

 an attempt to hasten their emerging they were overheated and 

 killed. 



As nothing whatever is recorded of the life-history of this 

 moth, the following description of the larva is taken from my 

 notes at the Maine Agricultural Experiment Station : 



June 29, 1907. Larva half grown. Head clear amber in 

 color with two glistening black spots on each lobe. Ventral 

 and ventro-lateral body and pro-legs pale greyish blue-green. 

 Seven very delicate longitudinal lines of pale blue extend along 

 the body, one being mid-dorsal and the three on each side placed 

 (a) one dorsal the spiracle line, (b) one half way between the 

 mid-dorsal line, and (a), and (c) one ventrad the spiracle line, 

 Between the mid-dorsal line and (b) the body is soft green 

 with a bluish cast. Between (a) and (b) extends a dark green 

 stripe. 



July 9, 1907. Larva i l / 2 inches long, and apparently about 

 full grown. Head shiny yellow with one irregular dark mot- 

 tled blotch on each lobe. Dorsal and dorso-lateral aspects mot- 

 tled gray -brown. Ventral and ventro-lateral (to above the 

 spiracle line) pale gray green. Legs pale. 



The accompanying photograph (Plate XIII.) taken July 10, 

 1907, gives a good idea of the form of this larva and is also 

 suggestive of its feeding habits. 



The pupa, which is glistening brown, varies from 15 mm. 

 to 19 mm. in length. 



Types of the larvae and pupae are deposited in U. S. Na- 

 tional Museum and in the collection of the Maine Agricultural 

 Experiment Station. 



MR. AUGUST BUSCK has gone to England for the Summer to work 

 on microlepidoptera with Lord Walsingham. 



MR. ERICH DAECKE, of Philadelphia, is recovering from his long 

 illness, and soon expects to go on with his explorations in New 

 Jersey.
