Not uncommon in southern Florida. The Nat. Museum has some 

 25 of the cocoons, which closely resemble Lord Walsingham's description 

 of T. /utnosa, Zell. (Proc. Zool. Soc, Lond., 1897, 114), except that it is 

 not kidney-shaped, but regularly elliptical. The meshes are nearly square, 

 and the stem by which it is suspended runs along the side of the cocoon 

 and projects a little way beyond. The open neck at the posterior end, 

 about the use of which Lord Walsingham seems to have been in doubt, 

 obviously serves as a place to eject the larval cast skin, which has 

 disappeared in all the specimens before me. I found the cocoons on the 

 trunk of a large tree at Miami, Florida. Other specimens are labelled 

 " on fence," Green Cove Springs, Fla. (R. S. Turner) ; "on Persea, sp.," 

 Cocoanut Grove. Fla. (E. A. Schwarz) ; Jacksonville, Fla. (W. H. 

 Ashmead). 



Subfamily Plutellin^. 



This includes Calantica, Zell.; Euceratia, Wals.; Arseolepia, Wals.; 

 Periclymenobius, Wall.; Trachoma, Wall.; Pterolonche, Zell.; Cerostoma, 

 Latr.; Plutella, Schr. Eido, Chamb., seems also to fall here, though I have 

 no specimens. 



These genera stand correctly listed in Smith's list, except that 

 dubiosella, Beut. (No. 5198), should be transferred to Plutella, and is, 

 indeed, scarcely to be distinguished from the less strongly marked 

 specimens of F. crucifei-ancm, which are in the collection, bred from 

 turnip. This latter species should be known as P. maculipennis, Curt. 

 (see Wals. and Durr., Ent. Mo. Mag., XXXIII, 173, 1897, for full 

 references). 



The following species may be added : 

 Cerostoma Koebelella, n. sp. 



Maxillary palpi filiform, labial long, second joint strongly tufted 

 below, third smooth, sharp pointed. On fore wings veins 7 and 8 stalked ; 

 on hind wings 3 and 4 approximate, but separate, 6 and 7 long stalked. 

 Head and thorax dark gray ; fore wings purplish gray on the half towards 

 inner margin, sprinkled with little irregular clusters of brown-black scales ; 

 costal half paler, likewise irrorate with darker scales, a luteous band from 

 the middle of the cell to apex, ill-defined and diffuse, irrorate with brown
