Dec. iSgg.) Dyar: Life-Histories OF N. Y. Slug Caterpillars. 247 



I have not seen this type in nature. The characters are taken from 

 the apparently very closely allied delphinii. I have shown above that 

 the origin of vein ten of fore-wings is not a good generic character; 

 hence it seems necessary to unite Eticlea with Parasa. Euclea is the 

 higher form with more rounded wings and reduced green markings, 

 but the characters intergrade and the two series do not seem sharply 

 separable. The larva of our Parasa chloris is unusually specialized. 

 Indian species of Parasa retain the older type of larva.

■ Species: stimulea QX^m. (New York Slug Caterpillars, II). 



* There is already a Euclea nana of Herrich-Schaffer, a species of I.acosomidae. 

 This is not the Euclea of Hiibner, and Kirby makes the species a synonym of Pamea 

 albistriga Walk.; but the name has existed, so I change the name of my species.
