838. Haploa clymene Brown. 



July 17-28. Common in open woods. The young larvse were ob- 

 served on white snakeroot, Eupatorimn ageratoides Linnaeus, during 

 late fall ; and larvae were brought to maturity on wild cherry after 

 hibernating (Engel). 

 840, Haploa lecontei Boisduval. 



Specimens approaching the typical form are rare. The various 

 named varieties and intergrades are common and very interesting 

 series are contained in local collections. They are on the wing June 

 5-July 18. 

 842. Haploa contigua Walker. 



New Brighton, July 6-27 (Merrick) ; Rock Point, July 25 (Fri- 

 day) ; Coraopolis (Meyer). 

 846. Ecpantheria deflorata Fabricius. 



June 10-28. Rarely taken except by breeding. The Messrs. Kraut- 

 wurm have collected and reared several hundred larvae found on wild 

 hydrangea. They hide among the leaves at the base of the bushes dur- 

 ing the daytime. [The larvae have been found also on various com- 

 mon compositae by the Editor.] 

 851. Estigmene acraea Drury. 



May 26-July 4; July 27-September i. Common. The larva 

 feeds on grasses and low vegetation generally. 



854. Estigmene congrua Walker. 



May 6-June 2 ; August 6-20. Commpn. The handsome larva 

 of this species feeds on plantain, PlaJiiago 7najor Linnaeus, and pupate 

 under leaves upon the ground. 



855. Hyphantria cunea Drury. 



May 4-June 2 ; August 2-13. Common. The larva of this 

 species has a broad greenish-yellow shade along the sides below the 

 subdorsal line. 



856. Hyphantria textor Harris. 



June 14-July 7. Common. This and the preceding species are 

 difficult to separate in the imago ; the larvae, however, differ and textor 

 appears much later in the season, and is apparently single brooded. 



859. Isia Isabella Smith & Abbot. 



May 14-July 3; July 22-August 23. Common. The larva feeds 

 promiscuously on low vegetation. 



860. Phragmatobia fuliginosa Linnaeus. 

 July 3-August 15. Rare.
