Plume-moth. {Platyptilia pusillidactyla Walker.) 



This small Pterophorid moth, which has been determined by Dr. 

 H. G. Dyar, is native of Jamaica, St. Thomas, Grenada, etc., but 

 has not been recorded from the United States (t. Dyar). 



Remigia repanda* see p. 774 ; Gypsochroa sitellata, fig. 239, and 

 see p. 776; and a plain silvery tineid (Setomorpha, sp.), were also in 

 this lot. Leucania, or Heliophila, unipuncta, Plusia rogationis, 

 and Diaphania hyalinata were sent in February. 



Memigia repanda, p. 774- Add the following : 



A mature larva, referred to this species by Dr. II. G. Dyar, was 

 sent to me by Mr. L. Mowbray, in December. It differs consider- 

 ably in color from the description on p. 775 (after Dyar). 



Prolegs, 2 pairs, separated from the anals by 2 legless segments. 



* Colors of this specimen much plainer and darker than in the U. S. speci- 

 men figured (pi. xcviii, fig. 6). Fore wings dark ocherous brown, with scarcely 

 any distinct markings, except the three slightly darker cross-lines, and distal 

 row of small obscure dark spots ; the wavy lines and speckled appearance are 

 lacking.
