by Daecke ('05) for Prionapteryx nebulifera, from sand areas 

 in New Jersey. In these tubes were found small and very 

 active tortriciform larvae. Mr. J. J. Davis, of the University 

 of Illinois, submitted an example to Mr. Daecke, who replied 

 that it was not the same as his species. Mr. Davis was suc- 

 cessful in securing an adult from these larvae June 30, and the 

 Bureau of Entomology at Washington has determined it for 

 him as Olethreutes dimidiana, a European species, reported 

 also from Missouri. The larva of this species, however, ac- 

 cording to Treitschke, is quite differently marked from our 

 specimens, feeds on birch and elder, and occurs in August in- 

 stead of June, pupating in September and emerging the fol- 

 lowing May.

 Anthrax lateralis Say. From a pupa apparently of the ordinary 



noctuid type, taken by Mr. Davis at the Devil's Hole June 8, 



an adult of this species emerged July 1. The species of 



this genus rest quietly — making occasional short flights — 



about roadways and bare sandy places. 111. 

 Anthrax hypomelas Macq. H.6, S. 5. This species has been bred from 



cutworms (Ins. Life, Vol. II. p. 353). No other Illinois record.
