  p. 
  eupatorii 
  Lyman. 
  The 
  larva 
  bores 
  in 
  "Eupatoriiim 
  purpurea," 
  and 
  will 
  

   probably 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  New 
  Jersey. 
  

  

  P. 
  pterisii 
  Bird. 
  The 
  larva 
  in 
  brake 
  or 
  high 
  fern, 
  "Pterisia 
  aquilina." 
  

   This 
  species 
  very 
  closely 
  resembles 
  "harrisii," 
  and 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  records 
  

   for 
  that 
  species 
  will 
  without 
  much 
  doubt 
  be 
  found 
  referable 
  here.

  bores 
  in 
  

   "Heracleum

  R. 
  Elizabeth 
  IX 
  (Bz), 
  Staten 
  Island 
  (Ds), 
  and 
  

   probably 
  throughout 
  the 
  more 
  northern 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  where 
  the 
  

   wild 
  columbine 
  grows; 
  the 
  larva 
  bores 
  in 
  the 
  roots 
  of 
  that 
  plant. 
  

  

  P, 
  baptisiae 
  Bird. 
  The 
  larva 
  bores 
  in 
  the 
  false 
  indigo, 
  "Baptisia 
  tinc- 
  

  

  torum," 
  and 
  undoubtedly 
  occurs 
  in 
  New 
  Jersey. 
  Mr. 
  Davis 
  has 
  taken 
  

  

  it 
  on 
  Staten 
  Island. 
  

   P. 
  astuta 
  Bird. 
  The 
  larva 
  bores 
  in 
  horse 
  balm, 
  "Colensonia," 
  and 
  will 
  

  

  almost 
  certainly 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  New 
  Jersey.

  Newark 
  (Soc) 
  ; 
  Staten 
  Island 
  (Ds); 
  

  

  Anglesea 
  (Lt) 
  ; 
  generally 
  distributed 
  throughout 
  the 
  State. 
  The 
  larva 
  

  

  is 
  a 
  general 
  feeder 
  in 
  thistle, 
  burdock, 
  elder, 
  sunflower 
  and 
  other 
  

  

  weeds, 
  the 
  adult 
  flying 
  in 
  September. 
  

   P. 
  rigida 
  Grt. 
  This 
  will 
  probably 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  northern 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  

  

  State 
  as 
  the 
  southerly 
  limit 
  of 
  its 
  distribution; 
  it 
  flies 
  in 
  September. 
  

   The 
  species 
  recorded 
  as 
  "rutila" 
  in 
  the 
  previous 
  edition 
  probably 
  refers 
  

   to 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  other, 
  similar 
  forms. 
  Mr. 
  Bird 
  has 
  not 
  met 
  with 
  it 
  in 
  his 
  

   collections 
  and 
  considers 
  it 
  a 
  more 
  northern 
  type. 
  The 
  Canadian 
  col- 
  

   lectors 
  get 
  it 
  not 
  uncommonly.
