Entomological Notes. I have captured twelve specimens of Habro- 

 syne scripta Gosse, this season, by sugar. I have never seen it here before. 

 I have recently captured sixty-six specimens of Hyperchiria Io d, attracted 

 by two females ; a perfect specimen of Damps a versicolor, June 25, and 

 Calocala Briseis, July 15, both at sugar. 



I have raised the larva of Ablepharon Henrici. It eats grass; is a hairy 

 caterpillar, resembling A cronycta oblinita; spins a moderately tough cocoon 

 very like that of A. oblinita in shape and texture. 



I have raised Plusia aeroides. It feeds on Meadow-sweet (Spiraea salici- 

 folia); is a curious hunched larva, light pea-green, marked with greenish- 

 white; walks like a Geometrid; turns milky white before spinning a light 

 white cocoon. The pupa is light green, with large black patches on the 

 back. Spun June 26; imago July 6. Roland Thaxter, Newtonville, Mass.
