dilates chez les males". I must decline to admit the truth of the above 

 as a quotation of my opinion. In the Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, 1876, p. 

 236, the following occurs, "In every other sexual character Dromochorus 

 does not differ from Cicindela." The only point in which Dromochorus 

 differs from the mjorily of Cicindel is — the middle tibiae are very finely 

 pubescent in both sexes, the males not having the tuft of erect hairsalong 

 the outer edge. This is however, a character of no value, except specif- 

 ically, as several other Cicindelae [slriga celeripes and circumpictd) are in 

 various ways aberrant from the accepted typical form. 



The reversal of the names adopted by Dr. LeConte by M.Salle (Ann. 

 Fr. Bull. 1877, p. 7), seems to require confirmation by an examination of 

 Guerin's type which is now in the possession of Mr. Edw.Janson of London. 



No comments requiring notice have been made on Otuus or Te- 

 tracha and the genus Cicindela has not been reached, but it is to be 

 hoped that the work will get nearer its completion than did the Mon- 

 ograph of Thompson so beautifully begun in 1859. 



Description of a new Cochliipod. 



By R. F. Pearsall. 



Euclea Elliotii, n. sp. 



Head and thorax dark brown. Fore wings dark brown along the costal mar- 

 gin clothed with coarse appressed hairs. A large pea green patch occupies the cen- 

 tre beginning at a point near the base and spreading out to the subterminal portion, 

 forming a triangle, the lower outer corner of which is removed by a sharp rectangu- 

 lar notch. The outer margin and notch bordered with a fine silvery white line, out- 

 side which the dark brown of the border becomes reddish brown for a short space. 

 A black costal spot is placed on the upper central portion of the green patch and in 

 one specimen has two brown hair lines running from it toward the apex, A silvery 

 white dot placed on the brown margin near the apex completes the markings. Hind 

 wings yellowish brown lipped on the inner angle with dark brown. Body yellow 

 brown tipped with dark brown. Antenna? in males pectinate for \ their length. 

 Type. Collection of R. F. Pearsall. 



Three specimens were reared from larvae taken in October 1875, on 

 the Sweet Bay. 



Larva, (full grown). Length .90 width .30. Color a uniform pale terra-cotta 

 shading into pink on the points of the spinous processes. Dorsal region flat, bordered 

 on each side by a slight ridge on which are placed nine spiny processes the three at 

 each end being longer and stouter. Sides sloping outward and having a series of 

 nine rough pit like depressions in which are the spiracles, below these an other row oi 

 nine spines project laterally a little stouter than the upper row. Under pails 

 whitish. 



I have named this species in honor of my friend S. Lowell Elliot 

 Esq. to whose kind instruction and advice I owe my fust impulse toward 

 the study of lepidoptera in their larval stages.
