shield) are dark pitchy blackish chestnut, and the surface rough. The 

 body is dark chestnut brown, behind a little paler, and beneath paler. 

 The antennae are long and blackish-brown, as are the thoracic legs. 

 The sides of the abdominal segment are swollen, and the segments ap- 

 pear as if frosted over, the skin being rough as if shagreened with fine 

 white granulations. There are faint traces of a slight dorsal line on the 

 posterior half of the abdominal region. 



In a few days, nearly a week, after hatching, a median yellowish 

 dorsal line becomes distinct. 



When first beginning to feed after hatching it simply loosely fas- 

 tens two leaves together with silk threads, and feeds like a Tineid larva, 

 not making a case. The specimens died before molting. 



Clemensia aibata. 



The eggs were sent me from Providence July 26, by Mr. Dearden. 

 They hatched at Brunswick, Maine, Aug. 8, in the morning. The food 

 plant is unknown ; the larvae would not eat willow, poplar or lichens. 

 The eggs are oval, covered with white hair and are laid in groups of 

 five or six. 



Larva, Stage I. — Length 1.8 mm. Head a little wider than the 

 body, the vertex convex on each side, the two halves of the epicranium 

 being like two contiguous orbicular pieces, and dark, dusky amber in 

 color, the head in front, lower down, paler. Body moderately long, 

 cylindrical, the segments unusually convex, whitish greenish in front. 

 The hairs, which arise from minute one-haired tubercles, are of nearly 

 uniform length on the back and sides of the body; they are two-thirds 

 as long as the segments are thick, finely spinulate. 



Hypercompa fucosa. 



The eggs were laid at Providence July 20, and hatched at Bruns- 

 wick July 30. 



Larva, Stage I. — Length 2 mm. Head a little wider than the 

 body, dark chestnut. Body white, moderately stout, with small one- 

 haired tubercles of the same color as the body. The hairs are rather 

 thick, of uniform length, not quite so long as the body is thick, and 

 both dark and light. The subdorsal row of tubercles are double, or 

 rather there are two contiguous tubercles on each abdominal segment 

 in this row, each sending off a hair. 



Callimorpha lecontei. 



The eggs were received from Mr. Dearden. It feeds on the apple; 

 the larvae hatched June 28 — 30 at Brunswick.
