THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 185 



illustration of Eulepidotis aiabastraria, figs. 311, 312, which he states 

 to be from Savannah, Georgia, 1. c. 22. It is probable that the locality 

 is incorrect, and that this species is not found in North America. I have 

 identified it in the Bremen Museum from South America. The insect is 

 not a Geometrid, but belongs to Guene'e's genus Fa/iudia, and is 

 described in the Spec. Gen., VI., 275, from Brazil. It seems, therefore, 

 likely that Hubner's locality is incorrect, while Guenee makes no note 

 upon the subject. 



DESCRIPTIONS OF CERTAIN LEPIDOPTEROUS LARV^. 



BY HARRISON G. DYAR. 

 (Continued from page 160. ) 



Ichthyura van Fitch. 



Egg. — The colour of the unhatched eggs is deep purplish-pink, pale 

 around the bottom ; slightly shining. 



First stage. — Head bilobed, bearing a few hairs ; shining black ; 

 width .45 mm. Dorsum broadly bluish-white, except the black 

 cervical shield and anal plate and joints 5 and 12, which latter 

 are hardly enlarged, coloured vinous-brown. Whole lateral area 

 also brown but paler, and broken into patches. Feet black out- 

 wardly. Hair fine, very long laterally, pale, darker dorsally, arising 

 singly from black conical tubercles with the normal arrangement. The 

 body is minutely dotted with brown (under a half-inch objective) and 

 there are no hairs present except those from the tubercles. The hairs are 

 simple, not glandular nor branched. The cervical shield is elongated 

 transversely, with a central constriction. 



Second stage, — Head bilobed, median suture deep at vertex but 

 shallow in front ; head flattened before, slightly wider than high. Colour, 

 shining black, with some hairs ; width 7 mm. Body flattened, wider than 

 high, the dorsal region pale yellow, with the tubercles of rows r and 2 

 darker yellow and three narrow brown lines. The enlarged dorsal por- 

 tion of joints 5 and 12 and the whole lateral area is deep vinous-brown. 

 Cervical shield and anal plate blackish, but not so distinct and corneous 

 as before. From the tubercles arise singly long hairs, and many others 

 arise from little elevations on the body ; but these are much shorter.
