frequently bores into a piece of old wood, and changes to chrysalis.'' 

 " Its habit of boring into same substances, to prepare for the change 

 to pupa, is inveterate, and it always neatly covers up the orifice, so 

 that it is difficult to detect. " The larva assumes the pupa state in May^ 

 emerging in March of the following year.

Lord Walshingham raised this species from larva found in southern 

 Oregon, feeding on MyosoHs, and informs me that it is black and yel- 

 low, much resembling that of Callimorpha donmiula.

Professor Townsend Glover has the following notes on the larva of 

 this species, in the Report of the Commissioner of Agriculture, for 

 1870, p. 80, fig. 41. 



"The larva is abundant in July and August, in the pods of the 

 rattle weed {Croielaria). It eats into the pod when young, making a 

 small circular hole, and then feeds on the seeds. It is yellow, with 

 black and white rings, thus resembling the imago in color, and the 

 chrysalis is black and yellow. The moth is disclosed soon after as- 

 suming the pupa state. The larva is also said to feed on the lupin." 



CALLIMORPHA LECONTEI. (See Page 62.) 



On account of the wide range of variation in this species, I give 

 here below detailed descriptions and figures of two of the varieties, 

 which are only casually alluded to in the former article. For the loan 

 of the specimens from which these figures are drawn, I am indebted 

 to the kindness of my friend Wm. Saunders, of London, Canada. 

 The opinion is strongly held by some entomologists that some of these 

 varieties should be classed as specifically distinct. In relation to this 

 point, Mr. Saunders writes me as follows : " The two forms of Calli- 

 morpha, Lecon/et and Contigua, appear to be quite fixed with us. I 

 have never found them run into each other, and I think I should had
