164 ZYG.ENIDyE AND BOMBYCID^ 



For my specimens of this insect I am indebted to Mr. George Bel- 

 frage, of Texas. In relation to it, Messrs. G. and R. say : " Though 

 at first sight differing very greatly from its ally taken in the same 

 locality, C. nobilitella, Weshvood, it is in reality near it, wanting merely 

 all the numerous dererminate white maculations on the body and 

 wings which characterize its congeners." Mr. Belfrage states that it 

 is generally distributed through Texas, though nowhere common, and 

 that while usually taken on the wing in the daytime it is also frequently 

 attracted by the lights at night.
