State Geol. and Nat. Hist. Survey, 191G, p. 193. 



Habitat. — Missouri; Connecticut; Massachusetts; Maine; Mary- 

 land; "West Virginia; apparently very widely distributed at least 

 over the eastern half of the United States. 



Hosts. — Cirphis unipuncta Haworth (Riley) ; Eurymus philodice 

 Godart; Anthocharis genutia Fabricius; Plathypena scabra Fab- 

 ricius. 



Cocoons. — Bright yellow; gregarious and losely heaped together. 



The National Collection contains, besides the types, many series 

 from widely distributed localities, but giving few host records. 

 One series from Branford, Connecticut, is said to have been taken 

 with the army worm (presumably Cirphis unipuncta) ; another 

 series from Agawam, Massachusetts, reared by H. E. Smith, is said 

 to be from Eurymus^ species. Two specimens from Orono, Maine, 

 are labeled as reared from Eurymus -philodice; another lot of spec- 

 imens from Hagerstown, Maryland, are recorded from the same host 

 by W. E. Pennington. One specimen from Coalburgh, West Vir- 

 ginia, is said to have been reared from Anthocharis genutia. The 

 w^riter has also seen a series reared by F. H. Chittenden, at College 

 Park, Maryland, from Plathypena scabra.
