192 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



The larva feeds on saw palmetto, forming a tube of the bases of the fan- 

 like segments of the leaves, in which it lies concealed and in which it 

 changes. 



(Bois. and Lee. figure the larva and chrysalis, after Abbot. The larva 

 is shown as pale green with a macular darker sub-dorsal stripe, and a 

 double band on side. The head is almost spherical, yellow, edged with 

 red, and with a red curved stripe on face. The chrysalis is much smaller 

 than Dr. Chapman represents, and as he gives a pencil drawing of it, I 

 see that it is of quite different shape from Abbot's, which has a short 

 abdomen, tapering nearly to a point.) 



6. PAMPHILA PALATKA, Edw. 



Mature Larva — Length 2 inches ; cylindrical ; collar a black line 

 connecting two black lateral dots ; anal plate semi-circular, projecting ; 

 color of body yellowish-green, thickly dotted with minute, dark, hair-tipped 

 tubercles ; spiracles black ; under side bluish \ head obliquely projecting, 

 brownish, the upper part of the face white and marked by three black 

 stripes. Feeds on saw grass (Cladium effusum), drawing the faces of the 

 strongly keeled leaves together, and in the tube thus formed lying con- 

 cealed when not feeding. (Chrysalis not described.) 



(I believe this species is either same as Bulenta, or at most but a 

 variety of that. The larva and chrysalis of Bulenta are figured in Bois. 

 and Lee, after Abbot, and both are scarcely to be distinguished from his 

 figures of corresponding stages of Arpa. In the former the sub-dorsal 

 band is continuous, instead of macular, and in the latter the lateral bands 

 are mostly obsolete. There is thus no agreement with Dr. Chapman's 

 description of Palatka, in which the whole upper side is yellow-green, 

 without lines or bands.) 



7. PAMPHILA DELAWARE, Edw. 



Mature Larva — Length 1 inch ; fusiform ; color bluish-white ; collar 

 black, ending in a black dot on either side ; a lunate black band on 13 

 and anal plate ; the surface thickly dotted with minute black tubercles ; 

 head oval, oblique, white, smooth, slightly bilobed ; a black band about 

 top and sides, a black vertical streak on middle face and a short streak 

 of same color on either side this last. 



Chrysalis — Narrow, greenish-white ; the head case blunt, black, 

 tubercled and bristly ; the last segment black. The larva was found
