This species was described from specimens taken near New York 

 city and Anglesea N.J. It is closely related to immistus 

 and either has been confused with that species or has been so rare 

 as to escape notice.

Recorded for New York by Van Duzee and Osborn, definite 

 records based on specimens in collection at Albany, Lancaster and 

 Albion. I took it at Hamburg and Jamaica. Van Duzee reports 

 it for Phoenicia also and Mr H. G. Barber has sent me a specimen 

 labeled Cold Spring Harbor. 



At Hamburg it occurred in numbers on Geranium rob- 

 ertsonium and it seems quite probable that this is its food 

 plant. Larvae occurring on same plants and without much doubt 

 the immature form of this species. 



Larva. Head sharply pointed, body fusiform. Length 4.5 mm. 

 Two triangular black spots near apex of vertex. Transverse quadrate 

 spot on vertex, one anterior median, two lateral quadrate spots 

 on pronotum, two on mesothorax, and two small narrow points 

 on metathorax, orange red. Head and prothorax, front of head 

 and metathorax, wing pads white. Abdomen fuscous, white 

 points in series on segments 1-6. 4 and 5 with larger white patch 

 in one specimen (more mature). Seventh segment ivory white 

 above. Below whitish, eyes marked with black dots. Anterior 

 margin of vertex and upper part of front bearing three black 

 lines.
