One male and one female only, the latter the larger and much the 

 more obscure. While we have here a representation of all the mark- 

 ings found in the common eastern forms, all are very much obscured 

 and the s. t. line is hardly defined at all. The femoral structure of 

 the male is as in the other species ; the antennae are furnished with 

 tufts of long hair and are apparently without the longer single bristles 

 found in the other species. In the female the usual single bristles are 

 obvious. 



THE LIFE-HISTORIES OF THE NEW YORK 

 SLUG CATERPILLARS.— ( Conclusion. ) 



PLATES VI— VIII. 



By Harrison G. Dyar, A.M., Ph.D. 



The life-histories of all the Eucleids* of New York listed by me 

 (Jour. N. Y. Ent. Soc, III, 145, 146) have now been made known 

 with the exception of the little larva recorded as T. tesfacea. I have 

 never seen this larva myself, and included it on Miss Morton's author- 

 ity. It is, however, not T. tesfacea as Miss Morton thought, for I 

 have raised that moth freely from other larvae (Jour. N. Y. Ent. 

 Soc, VI, 151). From what Miss Morton tells me, I think that she 

 had before her the larva of Reakirt's Kroiicca minuta. This is the 

 only record of this species that I know of since Reakirt's time (1864); 

 but this would seem to prove it a true inhabitant of New York. It is 

 so rare that I doubt whether I shall find it in sufficient numbers to ob- 

 tain the lite history, and therefore I close this series, for the present, 

 without it, assuming it to belong to "type 7 " of the revised table 

 given below. 



* I find it necessary to revert to the old name Cochlidiidse for this family. The 

 consensus of opinion among lepidopterists is averse to Kirby's date of 1810? lor 

 Hiibner's Tentaraen, preferring 1806, and I have concluded to accept this correction. 

 This has the effect of changing the genus Apoda Haw. to Cochlidion Hubn. The 

 family name founded on this genus is, therefore, again valid and antedates Eucleidae, 

 ■which was used by Comstock, Neumoegen and Dyar on the basis of the old names 

 being invalid.
