species when specimens are procured from Georgia. He describes what 

 he thinks to be the male as having six spots on the abdomen. Some of 

 my specimens have all the peculiarities of his female. 



It is quite desirable that those who have an opportunity, should describe 

 the larvai of this insect which they may find, especially in the more north- 

 erly states, where the clear winged specimens are abundant. The elm, 

 the linden and the willow and doubtless other trees are frequented by 

 them. 



The localities of specimens examined are as follows : — 



With clear wings, N. H., Mass., Can., L. Sup. Geo. (Leach.) 



With dark wings, Mass., Ct., N. Y., N. J., Pa., Md. N. Am. (St. Farg.) Geo. (Klug.) 



With red abdomen, Mass., Ct., N. Y. N. Am. (St. Farg.)
