of Eurytris are flying here in the fall, there are of course two broods, but 

 breeding shows that some of the larvae of the first brood became lethargic 

 in summer, and so they pass the winter. The larvae of the second brood 

 doubtless pass the winter in their earlier stages, and begin again to feed 

 early in the next season. 



Mr. Scudder, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, 1877, p. 74, has spoken of the 

 marked resemblance between the imagos of the Satyridae and Hesperidse 

 in many important features, and calls attention to the very great similarity 

 between the chrysalids of the two families. I concur with him fully in 

 these respects, but I would suggest that the resemblances between the 

 larvae and their behavior is often just as great. I am more and more 

 satisfied from the study of the preparatory stages of the Satyrids, that their 

 true place in classification is very near the Hesperidae. 



DESCRIPTION OF A NEW BRONCHELIA. 



BY W. V. ANDREWS. BROOKLYN, N. V. 



Bronchelia gravilinearia, n. sp. 



The general ground color of this species is a light brown, approaching 

 a fawn color. The palpi, however, are of a dark brown. 



F. w. — Wing stretch 1 ^ in. There are five distinct, dark brown, 

 transverse bands, all commencing on the costa. The first two basal, and 

 rather close to each other ; the inner of the two somewhat broken. The 

 third very heavy. The fourth is much narrower than the third, and com- 

 mences on the costa at about one-tenth of an inch from the third, curving 

 until it touches it at about mid-wing, thence running nearly confluent with 

 it to inner margin. The fifth band is not quite so heavy as the third, and 

 is broken at about the third nervule. All the bands curve towards the 

 base, but are not quite parallel. The space between the fifth band and 

 outer margin is thickly covered with scales of the same dark brown as the 

 bands. Outer margin slightly notched, with a row of dark brown lunar 

 marks. All the bands, except one and two, are extended across the hind 

 wings.
