SATURNID^. 



Actias luna Linn. A freshly emerged moth was beaten from 

 Aesculus pavia foHage towards evening in hammock, March 10. Num- 

 bers of fresh moths have been taken at lights during April. Prof. Watson 

 took a moth which was not yet dry on a twig at Hogtown Creek, Sep- 

 tember 30. There is probably, therefore, at least two broods a year. 



Telea polyphemus Cramer. Two larvae of this species were taken, 

 one nearly full grown and the other only an inch and a quarter in length, 

 feeding on the foliage of white oak, December 3. Adult moths were 

 taken at lights, January 22-28. Adult moths were rather common 

 at lights during April and several young larvae also observed on oak 

 during the first part of April. 



This would tend to show that there is an over-lapping of broods 

 and there are at least two broods a year. 



CERATOCAMPID^. 



Anisota rubicunda Fab. Full grown larvae were present on maples 

 on Station grounds, August 4. Larvae were very abundant on the swamp 

 maple at Lake Alice, October I. Pupated October 7-8, and adults 

 issued October 2G-30. 



AMATID^ (SYNTOMID^). 



Cosmosoma auge Linn. Taken at dusk at blooms of mint (?) 

 species, hammock edge, August 13. A fresh specimen taken at lights, 

 December 28. 



Dahana atripennis Grote. Taken at chinquapin bloom, April 29. 

 In magnolia hammock, May 18. April 29-November 14. 



LITHOSIID^. 



Hypoprepia fucosa Hub. A specimen taken by beating oak foliage 

 at edge of hammock, April 3. A rare moth here. 



ARCTIID.<E. 



Estigmene congrua Walk. Abundant and just emerging in ham- 

 mock undergrowth. March 10. 



Ecpantheria deflorata var. denudata Slosson. Found a large pupa, 

 together with cast skin beneath loose bark of a magnolia tree, March 2. 

 A number of this, the largest of our wooly bears, were found in the 

 hammocks during the first part of December; one was in a hollow tree 

 trunk about middle way up when the trunk was broken into. One of 

 the larvae pupated about the first of December and the adult issued in 

 the laboratory December 22. 



The larva of this species when ready to pupate seems to crawl under' 

 any available shelter, such as Spanish moss, logs, beneath bark, etc. 

 It is a typical hammock form. 



NOCTUIDiE. 



Apatela impleta Walk. A cocoon was collected on hickory twig in 

 hammock. The adult issued February 7. The larva feeds upon a 

 great variety of deciduous trees and shrubs (Holland '05).
