Keene Valley, Kamer, Clinton Heights. I took it at Salem, 

 Nassau, and Oyster Bay. Mr Van Duzee at Lake Placid, Phoenicia 

 and Kingston. 



As Ball has pointed out this species must have been the basis 

 for records of hieroglyphica in localities east of Illinois. 



It is light reddish or grayish green, the head with several lines 

 on the vertex doubled on each other and nearly parallel with 

 median line, and prominent spot at apex black. Length 5.5 mm 

 to 6 mm. 



It occurs in great numbers in the undergrowth along the margin 

 of thickets and may be collected by thousands in almost any 

 suitable locality. 



The larva is light yellow with a dark stripe on each side, a broad 

 median stripe light, narrowing at tip of vertex and on last seg- 

 ment of abdomen. Eye black anteriorly and posteriorly with 

 vertical yellow band including black dot. Beneath with eyes 

 light greenish yellow, tips of tarsi black. Collected on hill near 

 Salem N. Y., on Aug. 15, 1904.

 In collections at Ithaca [Cornell Univ.], Albany, Mosholu and 



Phoenicia. 



This is so distinct and well marked a species that it has never 



been in doubt and the types are still in fair state of preservation. 



The whitish color with light brown stripes and three conspicuous 



black dots on the head at once characterize it. While not an 



abundant species in collections it is pretty generally distributed 



and I secured specimens during August at Salem, Jamaica and 



Staten Island and Mr Barber has sent a specimen from Cold Spring 



Harbor.
