MISCELLANEOUS NOTES AND RECORDS OF LOCAL 



LEPIDOPTERA, WITH THE DESCRIPTION 



OF A NEW FORM.^ 



By I"'ra.\k E. Watson, 

 New York, X. Y. 



The following records were taken, unless otherwise stated, from 

 my collecting notes, in the belief that they will be of use for state 

 and local lists and it is hoped that they will prove of interest as well. 

 I have also included the more interesting observations which were 

 made while on an automobile trip, through Xew Jersey and Penn- 

 sylvania, during July, 191 7, as a guest of Mr. G. C. Hall. These 

 notes are enclosed in brackets and Mr, Hall should be credited with 

 the writer for them. 



' Read, in part, before the Xew York Entomological Society.
