tips; primary seise only present, iv and v in line on the submarginal ridge, 

 remote; vii of two setae on the base of the leg; crotchets of abdominal feet 

 in an ellipse, somewhat oblique. 



Stage II. Head wide, shallowly cordate, dull black, punctured; width 

 .9 mm. Body greenish, shaded with ocherous at each end, segments 

 faintly annulate posteriorly ; slightly shining, translucent ; a few yellow 

 dots; pile sparse, minute. 



Stage III. Head broad, shallowly cordate, bilobed; black, immacu- 

 late, rough; width 1.5 mm.; no distinct cervical shield nor anal plate. 

 Body smooth, translucent, pale yellowish green, dotted with yellow; a 

 narrow subdorsal and lateral lines, the latter above the subventral ridge, 

 both yellow. Feet concolorous with the body ; pile obsolescent, pale, 

 hardly visible. 



Stage IV. As before, the yellow dots on the body larger and thicker; 

 subdorsal and substigmatal lines present; a greener dorsal vascular line; 

 the larva looks smooth, not hairy; no cervical shield; head rough and 

 punctured; width 2.5 mm. 



Stage V. Head cordate, bilobed, mouth small; rounded, flat before 

 the apex, clypeus small; width 4.3 mm. Greenish white, shagreened; 

 occiput behind, a line from over the eye upward and a spot on the front 

 aspect of the lobe near apex black; neck small, no cervical shield nor 

 anal plate: segments smooth centrally, densely wrinkled-annulate at the 

 posterior and in four or five small annulets. Feet small ; appearance, 

 yellow-green; skin translucent, light green, mostly by transparency; a 

 distinct, straight, yellow subdorsal line on joints 3-12; dense, fine, yellow 

 longitudinal strigae, confluent in little blotches and along the subventral 

 fold in an ill-defined line. Body almost naked; an abundant line pile, but 

 very short and obscure, white; spiracles pale. 



Food plant. The larvae live in a folded leaf in the manner of Eudamus 

 tifyrus. They frequent the young leaves of the Jamaica dogwood (Pis- 

 fidia crythrina}. I am indebted to Mr. Kinzel for the name of the plant.

A LEUCOCHRYSA FROM FLORIDA. 



By NATHAN BANKS. 



The genus Leucochrysa was erected by McLachlan for certain 

 South American Chrysopas which differed from the typical form 

 in having- very much longer antennae, excised labrum and broad 

 wings. Hitherto no species of this genus have been recognized 

 in the United States. It therefore gives me pleasure to present a 

 new species obtained in Florida by that well-known collector, 

 Mrs. A. T. Slosson.
