3. Exorista phycitae Le Baron. — 

 Two specimens bred from Acrobasis 

 indiginella. 



4. Exorista hirsuta O. S. — One 

 from Botis penitalis. 



5. Exorista ciliata Twns. — Six 

 from Hemaris diffinis. Two of the 

 specimens have the red on sides of ab- 

 domen much like E. scudderi, but are 

 apparently greased specimens of E. 

 ciliata. 



6. Exorista trivittata v. d. W. ? — 

 One specimen, which may belong to this 

 species, but is too broad-headed to be a 

 typical Exorista, was bred from Apa- 

 tela oblinita. 



7. Masicera archippivora Riley. — 

 Eleven specimens bred from Danais 

 archippus ; and one from Clisiocampa 

 sp. 



8. Alasicera schizurae Twns. — One 

 bred "from pupae of Etichaetes egle. 

 Breeding cage, May 4, 1880"; and one 

 '"from larva." 



9. Alasicera nigrita Twns. ? — Three 

 specimens, which I doubtfully identify as 

 this species, were bred from Gortyna 

 nitela. Another specimen was bred 

 from Gortyna sp. They all differ 

 from the type in being less narrowed in 

 form. 



10. Alasicera eujitchiae Twns. — 

 Two specimens, a $ and a 9 , which I 

 can hardly separate from the type of 

 this species from Colorado, were bred 

 from Hyphantria textor. The $ is- 

 sued July 30, and the 9 July 31. They 

 seem to be hardly as robust as the type 

 and not quite so bristly, but otherwise 

 I cannot separate them. The $ has 

 the sides of abdomen a little reddish, 



but the 9 shows none of this color. 

 The type specimen from Colo, is a $ , 

 and shows some reddish on sides of 

 abdomen. Another difference to be 

 noted is that the present bred pair shows 

 the segments of the abdomen quite uni- 

 formly pollinose posteriorly as well as 

 anteriorly, while the type shows the 

 segments pollinose mainly at base, the 

 rest being quite shining. 



1 1 . Ne?noraea hyphantriae Twns. 

 mss. — Two bred from Hyphantria 

 textor. 



12. JVemoraea nigricornis Twns. 

 mss. — Three bred from Hyphantria 

 textor. 



13. Afiltogramma argentifrons 

 Twns. — One bred from Leucania uni- 

 puncta. 



14. Alicropalpns fiilgens Meig. — 

 Two specimens bred from "cutworm." 



15. Phorocera edivardsii Will. — 

 One bred from "cutworms." 



16. Phorocera comstocki Will. — 

 One from Botis penitalis; and one 

 from Lophyrus sp. 



17. Prospherysa pro/niscua Twns. 

 — One bred "from pupae of Euchaetes 

 egle. Breeding cage, May 4, 1SS0." 



18. Phasioclista metallica Twns. — 

 One specimen (apical cell closed) bred 

 from Sphenophorus parvulus. Another 

 specimen, which does not differ except 

 that it has the apical cell open, was 

 bred from Leticania unipuncta. 



19. Macauartiasp? — One bred from 

 "coleopterous larvae." 



20. Phrissopoda lamanensis R. D. 

 Myod. 335. {Peckia)} — Desvoidy's 

 description agrees quite well, both in 

 size and color, with three £ specimens
