THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 19 



Gryllus sp. Still another species of Gryllus is represented in 



the collection by two females and one male. These are somewhat larger 

 than the preceding species and have the ovipositor 12.5 m.m. in length. 

 One female taken at Portland, Oregon, June 19, a second at Camp Uma- 

 tilla, June 27, and the third, a male, at Yakima River, July 18. 



Gryllus sp. The collection contains a single specimen of a 



fourth species, a female also. It has the posterior femora quite long and 

 robust, reddish brown, and ovipositor of the same color, length of latter 

 13.75 i^^-ni. Camp Umatilla, June 27. 



(Ecanf/ius — — — sp. I find in this collection some pupag of an 

 CEcanthus, probably (E. niveus. Locality not noted. 



There are also specimens of the following genera of Locustidse that 

 have not been carefully compared : Udeopsilla, 2 sp. ; Dectes, 2 sp. ; 

 Anabrus, i sp.; Stenopelmatus, i sp.; Orchelimuni, i sp.; Xiphidium, i

LARVA OF CHRYSOMELA CLIVICOLLIS, Kirby. 



BV G. H. FRENCH, CARBONDALE, ILL. 



Length .30 of an inch; abdomen nearly globular, flattened beneath; 

 head and thorax narrow. Head pale grayish yellow ; thorax and abdomen 

 pale gray, a dorsal blackish line on the abdomen and a transverse stripe 

 of the same on the thorax. Stigmata black, legs pale, the articulations 

 dark ; two black spots on each side of the head. Body smooth, shining, 

 a few hairs on the anterior part. 



Chrysalis. — Length .40 of an inch ; thorax, wing and leg cases rose 

 pink, as also the under side of abdomen : upper side of abdomen pinkish 

 gray with a dorsal pink line. Stigmata black. Each joint of abdomen 

 has a transverse row of black points on its posterior edge. 



This larva was found feeding on the leaves of Enslenia albida, a vine 

 of the milk-weed family, August 21, 1884. Several times the beetles have 

 been found on a prickly ash bush that grows not far from where this vine 

 has grown in my yard for a number of years, but I could not see that they 

 had eaten the leaves of the bush ; but last summer both the larvae and 

 beetles were found on this vine eating the leaves, establishing the fact of 

 food plant. The larva pupated September 2nd, and the imago appeared 

 September 8th, giving six days as a pupal period.
