The genera of the Megalopygidte at present are as follows : 



Aidos Hiibn., Carama AValk., Mesocia Hiibn., Podalia Walk., Och- 

 rosoma H.-S., Sciathos Walk., Alimera Moschl., Megalopyge Hiibn., 

 Lagoa Harr., Sombrachys Kirb. (?) and Psycharium H.-S. (?) 



TJie larva of Eiipocya. 



The larva of E. Slossonice is flattened, green, with four dorsal red dots 

 and fringed with a row of regular hairy appendages. They represent the 

 subdorsal row, are detachable and furnished with heart-shaped basal 

 pieces. There are no stinging spines. The form represents the same 

 special adaptation as in Sisyrosea, but superimposed upon the phylo- 

 genetic characters of Phobetron. Our larva is a green Phobetron with 

 all the appendages of the same lengtli and the lateral tubercles atrophied. 



Dr. Packard states that Eupoeya is not the Cuban Phrync immacu- 

 lata, Grote, but he has neglected to compare the forms listed as Euproctis 

 argcntifl.ua, Hiibn., F^. fuinosa, Grt. , and E. pygiiuca, Grt., all from Cuba 

 and one of which at least is a Eucleid as shown by Devvitz. (N. act. k. 

 Leop.-Car. Deut. akad. nat, XLIV., 252). 



It is curious that the Florida and Cuba forms of Eupoeya should be 

 different species, while the recent description of a third form from Jamaica, 

 by Schaus (Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc. IV., 57), emphasizes this fact and renders 

 it probable that still others will be found on other islands, possibly all 

 mangrove feeders in the larval state.
