NOTES ON CHAETOPHLEPSIS TARSALIS TOWNSEND 



Townsend described only the female of tarsaUs, and while this de- 

 scription will suffice for the male, some additional notes may prove of 

 value. The species is represented at the gipsy moth laboratory by 

 about 60 specimens of both sexes, reared from Alypia octomdculata 

 Fabricius by J. V. Schaffner, jr., and others.

 width; in the females from 0.32 to 0.33; geno-orbital bristles vari- 

 able; frontalia usually more yellowish pollinose than the parafront- 

 als, often concolorous ; males usually with one strong, outer midtibial 

 bristle, sometimes with two ; female invariably with two strong ones ;

 the female a little shorter; second antennal joint usually black, occa-
