March, 1896.] Dyar, a New Gloveria. 23 



Grote, the type of which is rubbed and the faint transverse anterior line and 

 discal spot may have been obUterated, not being mentioned in the de- 

 scription. The wings are, however, clearly not short and broad as de- 

 scribed (and as shown also in the photograph before me); but are, as 

 usual, rather long, the outer margin gently convex. The size, too, is 

 much smaller ; but the specimens may have been reduced by breeding, 

 although Mr. Howard does not think that this can be the case to any 

 great extent. Otherwise this form is distinct from any in our fauna, 

 nor is there anything like it in the Biologia Centrali-Americana. Mr. 

 Druce and Mr. Schaus have both described several Lasiocampids since 

 the date of the Biologia ; but a perusal of their descriptions dees not 

 suggest that any of them have to do with the present insect. 



Synopsis of the American Dendrolimus 9 9 . 



Gray, the subterminal line distinct. 



Subterminal line sharply and regularly dentate arizonensis. 



Subterminal line undulate, irregular dolores. 



Brown-gray to yellowish brown, subterminal line obscure. 



Dark grizzled gray brown, discal dot white gargamelle. 



Paler, luteous brown, only traces of discal spot. 



Wings as usual, rather elongate howardl. 



Wings short and broad, depressed at apices diazoma. 



The following notes, sent me by Mr. Howard, show the dates 

 observed for the emergence of the moths as bred at Washington. 



" April 10, 1895. Received from J. W. Toumey, Tuscon, Arizona 

 a web of a Lasiocampid and some partly grown larvse found feeding on 

 Querciis emoryi ; only observed on a few trees. Accompanying them 

 was a strip or band of web taken from the tent. Mr. Toumey has been 

 informed that great bands of such web hang from the branches imme- 

 diately around the tent like long streamers. 



The larvae are bright ferruginous with a yellowish lateral stripe and 

 dull black head. 



There are three median dorsal rows of white soft hairs and a lateral 

 row of same color. 



April 20th. Larvse are feeding both on buds just opening as well 

 as on the dry leaves of oak. One tachinid fly issued ; it is Exorista 

 thlecarum. 



July I St. One larva spun up. 



July loth. One moth, a female issued. 



July 1 6th. Five males issued; two were ruined, the remaining 

 three spread.
