Liparidse 
all the exertion which has been put forth, the insect appears to 
have obtained a permanent foothold in the New England States, 
though in recent years the destruction wrought has not been very 
great, owing to the incessant vigilance which is maintained by 
the civic authorities in repressing the nuisance. 
Genus PSILURA 
(i) Psilura monacha Linnaeus, Plate XXXVIII, Fig. 14, S, 
Fig. 15, $ . 
This is another insect which is said to have been imported from 
Europe, and is reputed to have found a foothold on the soil of the 
New World. The specimens figured on our plate are from a 
brood which the writer is informed by Mr. George Franck, of 
Brooklyn, to have been found in the eastern suburbs of that place. 
Mr. Franck has assured me that it is certainly already well domi¬ 
ciled in the region. 
Genus EUPROCTIS Hiibner 
(1) Euproctis chrysorrhcea Linnaeus, Plate XXXVIII, Fig. 
16, $. (The Brown-tail Moth.) 
This insect, like the two preceding species, is an importation 
from Europe. It has become domiciled in the vicinity of Boston, 
Massachusetts, and is very common in the vicinity of Magnolia, 
Beverly Farms, and Manchester-on-the-Sea. 
Genus DO A Neumcegen & Dyar 
The only species of the genus, named ampla by Grote, is a 
native of Colorado, and ranges thence 
southward through Arizona to the 
higher mountain plateaus of Mexico. 
It also occurs not infrequently in 
northwestern Texas. It may easily 
be recognized with the help of the 
accompanying cut, which is drawn 
from a specimen in the collection of the writer.

And Mammon wins his way where seraphs might despair.”
