Robinia pseudacacia), July and Aug. 

 This sp. resembles fallax, but it has antennae serrate from the fifth 



joint, while in fallax they are serrate from the fourth. There are other 



well-marked characters for separating them, which are all given in the 



above-mentioned paper. 



Dicer ca lepida, Lee, is rare here. It has been beaten from hawthorn, and 

 also found hibernating near the trunks of large trees on the ground 

 among the leaves. Also found it once under bark on a stump, where 

 it had spent the winter. 



Pxcilojiota t/mreura, Say., occurs on the black willow during July and 

 Aug., and is not common. 



Cinyra gracilipes, Melsh., is quite common on the burr or moss-cup oak 

 (Quercus macrocarpa). 



ChrysobotJiris azu7'ea, Lee , not common. Beaten from linden. 



Cacoplia pullata. Hald., is not often seen in exchange lists. Two speci- 

 mens of this species were beaten from moss-cup oak several years 

 ago. 



ZeugopJiora scutel/aris, Suffr, is another which is not offered for ex- 

 change. This pretty species occurs on the cottonwood during July 

 and Aug., but seems to be rare. 



NOTES UPON LYC.ENA EXILIS, BOISDUVAL, WITH DESCRIP- 

 TIONS OF SOME OF ITS EARLY STAGES. 



BY WM. H. EDWARDS, COALBURGH, WEST VA. 



On July 24th, 1893, I received a number of pupae oi Exilis, made on 

 the road, and three nearly adult larvae (after the last moult), sent me by 

 Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell, at Las Cruces, New Mexico, and found on flowers 

 of Atriplex canescens, of which a plentiful supply was also sent. 



Description of Adult Larva. — Length at rest, .26 inch ; in motion, 

 .3 inch \ very like L. Comyiitas in shape, being long, narrow, about 

 equally rounded at the two ends, segment 2 turned forward to the 

 plane of the underside of the body, and concealing the head ; the sides 

 at base nearly parallel, a little convex ) the dorsum elevated ; from 3 to 

 10 on dorsum is a flattened, sub-triangular tuberculous process to each 

 segment, as in many species of the genus ; colour light green, with a 

 silvery sheen that is caused by innumerable fine, white appressed hairs ; 

 the dorsal triangles yellowish, mottled crimson, and there is a crimson 

 mid-dorsal line; on 11 is a dorsal cross-slit, as in Pseudargiolus and 

 Coinyntas, and no doubt there is a pair of cylindrical membranes with
