 Tetralopha dilacuIeUa Grote, X. Am. Ent., I., CO. Figure 11 gives 

 the enlarged head of the male Propexus edonis Grote, Can. Ent., 

 XII., 19 ; belonging to a western and southern group, with pectina- 

 ted antennae in the male and excessively long labial pal^ji, a section 

 of the genus Crambus. Figure 13 represents the primary wing of

In my paper on X. Am. Pyralidae, published in the Bulletin 

 of the TJ. S. Geological Survey, I stated my inability to identify 

 Fempelia rjrossxdariae of Packard and Iviley, while supposing it might 

 be identical with Homeosoma siypticella. Subsequently I visited 

 Washington and found from Prof. Riley's collection that it was my 

 Dalcruma turbatella. Lately Professor Fernald has made the same 

 identification from Dr. Packard's type. The insect is not a Fempelia, 

 as the neuration diifers and the maxillary palpi are smaller and not 

 tuftod in the male. It may be known as Dakruivu (jrossulariae. 



The Cotton Worm. 



U. S. Entomological Commission Bulletin Xo. 3. By C. V. 

 Riley, M. A., Ph. D. [A pamphlet of 144 pages containing a useful 

 summary of the investigations made on the Cotton "Worm during 

 Prof. Riley's connection Avitli the Departement of Agriculture and 

 as Chief of the Entomological Commission. A'ery full details are 

 given respecting the different poisons and remedies. AVith regard 

 to the hibernations of the moth which is a mooted point, I believe 

 I was the first to show that it passed the winter in the Southern 

 States in the moth state although I believe some localities are in 

 different years bare of the moth from fall migration or winter killing. 

 AVith regard to its migrations I believe I was the first to show 

 that it came every year as the perfect moth from more Southern 

 localities and when I read mv i)aper in 1874. I gave my observations
