60 THE LEPIDOPTERIST 



Prodenia ornigalli: have raised hundreds on the 

 melon-pawpaw tree (papaya). 



Dilophonota ello and alope : Look on the under 

 side of wide leaves of the melon-pawpaw tree for 

 caterpillars. 



Rhodophora guarse: For the larvae of this beauti- 

 ful moth you must look on the flower stems of the 

 Guara and as it is pink like the flowers you will not 

 find them easy to locate. 



Artace punctistriga : Oak and possibly ash. 



Oiketicus abbotii : Oak and various plants. The 

 "bags" exactly resemble Thy. ephemerseformis. 



Sabine stimulse: To the lengthy food plant list of 

 this pest I wish to add the cocoa-nut tree. I have 

 seen them almost denuded by "pack-saddle" cater- 

 pillars. 



Logoa pyxidifera: Oak and possibly pear as in 

 common with other Megalopygidse. 



At a later date I may send in some data on the 

 food plants of the diurnals and also as to the sort of 

 places a collector is apt to find them.
