THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 205 



The larvae which fed on clover differed in coloration as follows : color 

 russet varying towards vinous, interspersed with green ; at third moult 

 some were pale green dorsally, the white being caused by the tubercles, 

 the sides vinous ; the dorsal stripe vinous, and the oblique lines vinous ; 

 others had the back as well as sides vinous, and this variation and char- 

 acter followed to maturity. The chrysalids of these larvae were sordid 

 white on the whole upper surface and lower side of abdomen, the former 

 specked with brown ; the medio-dorsal stripe was brown, as were also the 

 dots ; under side of thorax and of head case, and the whole of the wing 

 cases apple green. 



NOTES ON CERTAIN SPECIES OF MOTHS.

Phyprosopus callitrichoides Grote. 



Prof. Zeller published this species subsequently under the generic name 

 of Sudariophora, which I, afterwards, adopted in lieu of my own. Prof. 

 Zeller, however, now states that the generic character upon which he 

 founded the name Sudariophora does not exist in reality. Accordingly, I 

 now revert to the earlier name for the genus. The insect was erroneously 

 identified as Doryodes acutaria by Mr. Walker, and referred by him to the 

 Pyralidae in the British Museum lists, where it is recorded as Doryodes 

 axutalis. It does not seem to have been separately named before I 

 described it. Dr. Packard discusses the position of the species in his 

 work on the Gcometrce, p. 33, and finds that " the palpi are truly noctui- 

 form, as well as the shape of the wings." In criticising Prof. Zeller's 

 classification of the moth, Dr. Packard omits to state that I had described 

 it previously under the Noctuidae. Consult Zeller, Beitr., 32S-9. 



Caterva eaten aria (Drury). 



The new generic name is proposed since oar species is generically 

 distinct from the European forms referred to Zerene Treits.,a genus which,
