Legs and under surface silvery-white. Anterior wings bright golden, 

 inclining to orange, with a white streak along the dorsal margin from the 

 base to the cilise, where it is deflexed and passes on to the dusted portion 

 of the apex which is near the posterior margin, and is dark brown on a 

 white ground. There are three small costal silvery streaks, the first and 

 second being near the middle of the costal margin, and the second one 

 the largest, while the third is small and near the apex. There is some 

 variation in the size of the third costal streak and in the extent of the 

 apical dusting, and sometimes the costal streaks are faintly dark-margined. 

 The abdomen and legs are very pale-golden varied with white. Alar. ex. 

 yl to nearly J j in. Two specimens, taken at Columbus, Georgia, were 

 so much larger than my Kentucky specimens that 1 was inclined to 

 regard them as specifically distinct, but they were so much injured before 

 I had an opportunity to compare them with my Kentucky specimens, that 

 I can not be certain : the smaller specimens ( $ ?) are more distinctly 

 marked than the larger. The larva is flat and makes an irregular blotch- 

 mine, with scattered frass, in the upper surface of the leaves of Ulmus 

 Americana, It resembles closely the larva of L. Ciucinnatiella, but it is 

 more greenish, whilst the imago resembles L. basistrigella somewhat, 

 which has a cylindrical larva.

Attacus cecropia. — During the winter months, when the apple trees

 and there, firmly bound to the twigs, and occasionally I have seen them 

 on young trees attached to the stock near the ground. They arc about 



three inches long, pod-shaped (see fig. 31), and of a dirty brown colour,
