acute, the secondaries are proportionately longer and narrower. The 

 caudal segments of the abdomen are widely tufted laterally. The end 

 of the cell of primaries is obscurely marked with a vertical black bar. 

 In both species (cacocncmos and tracyi) the primaries have 11 veins, 

 the secondaries 7, the anal veins of primaries as in cclibata; the illus- 

 trated difference in the radial veins of primaries is not specific, but 

 occurred in both species ; in the limited number of examples available 

 for detailed study the differences shown in venation of secondaries were 

 apparently specific. 



Adult 9. Of the usual grub-like form. Length, living, 11 mm.; the 

 chitinized dorsal portions of the thoracic segments are pale straw- 

 yellow, and the abdominal band of downy hair is very pale dull fawTi- 

 color. 



Described and illustrated from 5 males and 1 female, bred 

 from larvae collected near Jacksonville, Florida. The author 

 hi!.s collected similar cases, some of them containing living- 

 larvae, near Wilmington, N. C. ; at Summerville, S. C. ; at 

 DeFuniak Springs, Walton Co., Florida ; other records include 

 Tampa, Florida (E. L. Bell), and Lakeland, Florida (J. A. 

 (Irossbeck). The larvae of this insect are found feeding, in 

 open and sunny places, upon sedges, grasses, rushes, some- 

 times on low growing herbaceous plants, occasionally on 

 shrubs growing among these, and they reach their full growth 

 in spring or early summer. Of 80 larvae brought from Florida 

 !> Delaware in early June and confined with growing plants 

 nut of doors, where they fed intermittently throughout the 

 summer, only a few survived to pupate in September and

 as we have records, emerges in the spring.

Oiketicus toumeyi Jones (Plates VII, VIII). 



In Entomological News XXXIII, 1 ( )22, page 12, a new 

 i'sycliid from Arixona was briefly described as Oiketicus 

 toitinevi. In mid-April, 1918, the larvae of this insect were 

 found in abundance nn locust trees growing along the cit\ 

 Greets of Tucson. Some had already spun their cases fast 

 for pupation, others were about to do so, and no early stage 

 larvae were observed. The foliage showed little signs of feed- 

 ing, and these conditions were interpreted to indicate that this
