The second species is Ceutorhynchus cyanipennis, Illiger. 
Pearls. sp. 1, 225.960. “Gyith.. ims IV, 594, 134, 635, 
Black, thorax constricted at apex with elevated margin, distinct groove on middle 
of coarsely and densely punctured disc, small tubercle on each side near base. 
Elytr, bright metallic blue, striate, interstices with regular row of punctures. 
Underside, covered, not densely, with grayish white scales. 
Length, Jo inch. =) 275mm. 
Quite distinct from any of our species by its color. Eight or more 
specimens taken by Mr. F. H. Chittenden at Ithaca, N. Y., :also taken 
near Baltimore by Dr. Otto Lugger. It is said to be found on grass. 
It might be mentioned here that Cryplorhynchus lapatht, ¥ab., 
hibernates, like our other species of Crypforhynchus, as I found several 
specimens under bark and chips in November and December last year.

The Larva of Gnophela vermiculata, G. & RX. 
By PF. D) A. Cockerexr, 
On the first of June, last year, I found the larva of this species 
feeding on AZertensia by Swift Creek, Custer Co., Colo., at about 8,200 
ft. alt. From these I obtained moths early in July. I drew upa de- 
scription of the larvae and pupe, which is rather fuller and differs in a 
few points from that of Mr. Bruce (Ent. Am., IV, 24), so give it here, 
at the expense of a little repetition, as the early stages in this genus are 
particularly important as establishing its relation to the Arctiid group. 
Mature larva :—Length, about 30 mm; head, bright chestnut, the 
mouth parts black ; Jody, black, with sulphur yellow interrupted bands 
and steel-blue tubercles ; beneath pale green. The dorsal yellow band 
is the broadest, the subdorsal ones are reduced to the rows of elongated 
spots, while the lateral bands are cut up so as to produce a somewhat 
marbled appearance. (Perhaps these are hardly to be called bands, but 
their homology is such, and so I speak of them.) The blue tubercles 
are 12 on each segment, in three pairs on each side, those between the 
dorsal and subdorsal bands being the largest ; each tubercle emits some 
short whitish hairs.” Aédominal/ legs blue-black and shiny above and 
externally, otherwise red-brown; a black point at the base of each. 
Cocoon ; a thin white meshwork, with many large holes. Pufa : 20 mm, 
long, head and thorax shiny bleck, shading off to a dark olive-brown 
over the wings. Abdominal segments chestnutty brown, marbled with 
yellowish spots. Each spiracle placed on a large elongated yellow patch, 
the narrow diameter of which is antero-posterior, Terminal segment
