THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 143 



tudinally with dull red ; a broad medio-dorsal stripe, another on middle 

 of side, running to tail ; a third along base of body ; between the dorsal 

 and lateral stripes a brown line, and a second just below lateral ; on each 

 segment from 3 to 12, on either side, are three rows of white clubbed 

 hairs, springing from white tubercles ; head rounded, broadest below, 

 broader than next segment ; the surface much covered with shallow 

 punctures ; color dull yellow ; across upper front face is a curved row of 

 four round brown tubercular spots, and six spots across middle face, each 

 sending out a dark hair ; the ocelli dark. 



This larva was received from Mr. Mead, in Nevada, and was but just 

 out of the shell when I opened the box. Like the larvse of the Parnas- 

 sians, it came from a hole in the side of the egg. This was 18th August, 

 1878. The larva lived till 21st September, readily feeding on grass, and 

 was about to pass its first moult when it was accidentally killed. It 

 behaved like other Satyrid larvae, being sluggish, and moving very little. 

 Probably in nature hybernation occurs when the larva is half grown.

TINEINA. 



BY V. T. CHAMBERS, COVINGTON, KY. 



It has so happened that within a few years past Professors Zeller and 

 Frey in Europe, and I in the U. S., have at about the same time described 

 a large number of American species of Tineina, and as might have been 

 expected under these circumstances", it has occasionally happened that the 

 same species has been twice described under different names. I am, 

 however, surprised to fincl how seldom this has happened. In so far as I 

 have been able, from the figures and descriptions of Professors Zeller and 

 Frey, to identify their species with those described by me, I have hereto- 

 fore done so in the pages of this and other journals ; and I have to thank
