Rema7'ks. — In addition to a long collected series of this species I 

 have a specimen before me from Madison, Wis., reared from Myrica 

 asplenifolia by S. B. Fracker, and four from Dover, Mass. (Gipsy- 

 Moth Lab.), reared from '"'■Goieopsis'''' (synonym of Bidens). The 

 wide difference in food plant is very surprising in view of the fact 

 that nearly all species are either host specific or feed on very closely 

 related species of plants. The specimen from Bobcaygeon, Ontario, 

 was reared fi-om Eupatorium.
