Specimens of this species were sent to me from Eastern Georgia by 

 Mr. H. K. Morrison, and I have examined others from various parts of 

 Florida. Mr. Bolter kindly gave me a 9 specimen which he captured 

 near Enterprise, Fla. , in the month of March. 



Larva of Aplodes rubrolineana, Pack. 

 By Geo. D. Hulst. 



The larva of this Geometer I found feeding on Bayberry, (Myrica 

 cerifera), in September 18S7 (.'), at the east end of Long Island. 



It was in general color chocolate brown, with a reddish brown line 

 on dorsum. Head with eyes rounded, but deeply channeled between, 

 both in front and on summit. Segments deeply indented between. On 

 each segment, just below dorsum, on each side, was a projection, most 

 prominent on anal segment. Below these, just above spiracles, are very 

 large projections, pointed, turned forward a little, becoming obsolete on 

 anal segment. A reddish ochreous sub-stigmatal line, \vith a furcation on 

 each segment, running up in front of lateral projections. Body rounded 

 below; legs 10 in number, light chocolate in color, the anal ones rather 

 ochreous from the extension upon them of the sublateral line. The 

 whole body, projections, head, eyes, and legs strongly rugose. 



The larva was, in superficial appearance, very much like the larva 

 given in Dr. Packard's Monograph of [he GeofNc'/ri</a;, plate XIII, fig. 23. 



The pupa was formed in a very slight cocoon of a few strands of 

 silk, partly drawing together a leaf It was dull light green in color, and 

 having been kept in a warm room all winter, the imago emerged early in 

 March, 1887.
