(/. c, and Treatise on ins. injur, veg.. 1S62, 

 p. 377"37S) briefly describes the larva, wliich 

 he states feeds upon apple, and, on authority 

 of Abbot, upon ^iiercus and Fraxinus. Lint- 

 ner (Entom. contrib. [no. i], 1869, p. 193), 

 *n a note upon tlie larva, gives Bettila as 

 food-plant, and later (Entom. contrib., no. 3, 

 1S74, p. 154-155) describes the larva, which 

 he states to feed on Betttla leiita and Acer. 

 Lyman (Can. entom., Aug. 1S74, v. 6, p. 15S) 

 describes the eggs of this species. 



Clisiocampa ^ilv<itica Harris (Rept. ins. 

 injur, veg., 1S41, p. 271-272) [= C. dissfria 

 Hiibn.]. Harris {op. cit., p. 272) describes 

 the larva of this species, giving as food- 

 plants, .^/lerciis, yitglatis and apple; later 

 (Treatise on ins. injur, veg., 1S62, p. 375-376, 

 pi. 7, fig. 1S-19) he repeats the description, 

 and adds a colored figure of the larva and 

 imago, adding wild cherry to the food-plants; 

 again he describes (Entom. corresp., 1S69, p. 

 292) the larva. Morris (Synop. lepid. N. A., 

 1862, p. 326) quotes tiarris's descriptions 

 (1841) of tlie larva and imago. Riley (Amer. 

 entom., jul\-.\ug. 1870, v. 2, p. 261-265, and 

 3rd rept. state entom. Mo.. 1S71. p. 121-127) 

 describes eggs and egg-mass, larva and im- 

 ago, giving, in addition to the food-plants 

 mentioned above, Fraxinus, Tilia, Jfosii, 

 Cai-ya, plum, and peach. Saunders (Can. 

 entom., July 1872, v. 4, p. 134) repeats Riley's 

 figures, and (op. cit.. Aug. 1S77, v. 9, p. 159) 

 gives another figure of the larva, adding 

 Acer, Ci-ii/ai'giii and Fiffiis to the food- 

 plants; later Saunders (op. cit.. Feb. 1878, v. 

 10. p, 21-23) gives notes on the eggs of this 

 species and of C. americana. and on tiie tle- 

 struction of these eggs by mites. Packard 

 (Bull. 7, U. S. entom. comni., iSSi, p. 40-41) 

 figures ^"g^, larva, and imago, and describes 

 the larva and the male and female imagos. 

 The larva of this species eats leaves of Betula 

 alba. 



Anisota senatoria Abb. & Smitli (Nat. hist, 

 lepid. ins. Ga.. 1797, v. 2, p. 113, pi. 57). 

 Harris (Rept. ins. injur, veg., 1841, p. 291- 



292) describes the larva, pupa, and imago of 

 this species ; the larva, he states, feeds upon 

 white and red oaks '\_^nercus sp.]. Morris 

 (Synop. lepid. N. A., 1S62, p. 231) describes 

 the larva and imago. Harris (Treatise on 

 ins. injur, veg., 1S62, p. 405-406) figures and 

 describes larva, pupa, and imago, and (Entom. 

 corresp., iS6g, p. 298, pi. 2, fig. 9, and pi. 4, 

 fig. 12) gives a colored figure of the larva 

 and a black one of the pupa. Riley [ ?] (Amer. 

 entom., Sept.-Oct., 1869, v. 2, p. 26) states 

 that the larva eats raspberry \^Riibtis sp.]. 

 Lintner (Entom. contrib., no. 2. 1872, p. 51- 

 52) describes the early stages of the larva, 

 which, he writes, has four molts (fi\'e stages), 

 and feeds on ^iiercris prinoidcs. Packard 

 (Bull. 7, U. S. entom. comm., iSSi. p. 45) 

 briefly describes the larva, and gives a few 

 notes upon its habits. The larva feeds on 

 Betula alba. 



Hyperchiria io Fabr. (Syst. entom., 1775, 

 p. 560). Harris (Rept. ins. injur, veg., 1S41, 

 p. 2S3-285) describes the larva and male and 

 female imagos; later (Treatise on ins. injur, 

 veg., 1S62, p. 393-396) he adds to the descrip- 

 tions figures of the larva, pupa, cocoon, and 

 male and female imagos; and still later (En- 

 tom. corresp., 1S69, p. 295-297) he gives a 

 more extended description of the larva. 

 Morris (Synop. lepid. N. A., 1862, p. 220) 

 briefly describes the larva. Packard (Guide 

 study ins., iS6g, p. 299) gives brief notes on 

 this species, under the name of Hyperchiria 

 varia Walker. Bethune (Can. entom., Oct. 

 1S69, V. 2, p. 19-20) briefly describes the larva, 

 and Minot {op. cit., Nov. 1S69, v. 2, p. 28-29) 

 describes egg and larva without recognizing 

 the species. Lintner (Entom. contrib., no. 

 2, 1872, p. 146 1.(9) describes the egg, the six 

 larval stages, the pupa, and the cocoon. 

 Riley (5th rept. state entom. Mo., 1873, p. 

 133) describes egg, larva in its six stages, co- 

 coon, and imago of this species, figuring larva 

 and male and female imagos; and (Can. en- 

 tom., June 1S73, V. 5, p. 109) describes the 

 egg in detail. Reed (Can. entom., Dec. 1S74,
