of the male, which occur in no obliquata before me. I have 

 formerly referred the form as a variety of achatina, but fresh 

 material from the Southern States is needed to positively 

 identify this name. 



Olene cinnamomea Grote and Robinson. 



This is possibly only a variety of obliquata. It differs in 

 the lines being brown, not black. It was described from a 

 single female. I have males from Racine, Wisconsin; Pough- 

 keepsie, New York, and Weekapaug, Rhode Island; females 

 from Denster, Wisconsin, and Cocoanut Grove, Florida. The 

 form is widely distributed, but rare, and has never been bred 

 from larvae. 



Olene leucophaea Smith and Abbot. 



In Bulletin 52 I gave three varieties of this species, but I 

 believe now that they are all wrongly referred here. Basiflava 

 is a form of plaoiata; atrivenosa is a distinct species, and 

 man to is referable to the pine-feeding forms more fully treated 

 below. Concerning the true leucophcea, Abbot's figures are 

 puzzling. I have some adults similar to them from Florida, 

 though the base of the wing of the female is less invaded by 

 white and the black horizontal bar is absent. The larvae, 

 however, are entirely dissimilar. Abbot's figure may be very 

 faulty, but it shows a long hair pencil on joint 12 (shown 

 double, which never occurs to my knowledge). In the Florida 

 larvae, however, there is only a short, square tuft on joint 12, 

 besides other numerous minor differences. 



I possess larvae with a long, single hair pencil on joint 12, 

 from deciduous trees, but they have not been bred. These 

 are 'the nearest to Abbot's figure of anything known to me, 

 but that is not saying they are very near. They are darkly 

 colored and have plumed lateral hairs and only four dorsal 

 tufts (Abbot's shows seven, another anomaly). These larva? 

 agree entirely with the pine- feeding ones and it may be that 

 they have only accidentally been taken on deciduous trees. 



Olene plagiata Walker. 



I have no fresh notes on Walker's types of plagiata and 

 alomaria, so let the s}'nonymy stand as it is. The third syn- 

 onym, clintonii G. & R., is well known. This is the only 

 form extending its range into the West. I have specimens 

 which I regard from present evidence as belonging to this 

 species from Bellingham, Washington (R. H. Stretch), Seat- 

 tle, Washington CO. B. Johnson), Winnipeg, Manitoba (A. 

 W. Hanham), Colorado (D. Bruce), Glen wood Springs, Colo-
