Re?narks. — This is the notorious "parsnip webworm," which has 

 appeared so frequently in the literature in America and abroad. 



The name has repeatedly been credited to De Geer (1T71) but 

 should be attributed to Linnaeus (1758). Sherborn (Index Ani- 

 malium, 1902) credits the name to Linnaeus, but others have failed to 

 acknowledge this authorship. 



The species is undoubtedly more widespread in America than is 

 indicated by the distribution given; but I have included in the dis- 

 tribution only the localities from which I have seen specimens. At 

 New Castle, Del., however, I have seen abundant evidence of the work 

 of this species. 



I have been unable to locate any of the types, although some may 

 be in existence.
