Aphorista morosa Lee. Plate IX, Fig. i8. 



The figure of the pupa of this species is introduced for 

 comparison with that of others of the family already figured. 

 These are (in American literature) onl}'^ two in number, viz: 

 Aphorista rittata Fabr., described and figured by Prof. John 

 B. Smith in Entomologica Americana, II, p. 85, and E-pifocns 

 ductus Lee, of which I have given figures and descriptions 

 in the current volume of this Bulletin. A marked similarity 

 will be seen to exist between all three. 



In one of my specimens the anterior pair of lateral append- 

 ages are black. The material was sent me from California 

 by Dr. Blaisdell. 



Chauliognathus profundus (?) Lee. Plate IX, Figs. 17, 

 17a, and i^h. 



Color of larva dark velvety brown above, almost black, a 

 rosy line running from apex of prothorax to the tip of the sev- 

 enth abdominal segment. The prothorax is margined with 

 creamy white, narrowly at apex, more broadly at base, very 

 broadly at the four angles. The mesothorax and metathorax 

 are broadly bordered at base with delicate rose pink, while 

 the segments i to 5 of the abdomen are tipped with the same 

 color. The remaining segments have the tips and prominent 

 posterior angles of a cream color, which in the last two 

 extends up the sides as well. Viewed from below the pro- 

 thorax is cream colored with two longitudinal brown stripes 

 on each side of the middle and a round spot between the coxae 

 which are brown at base. The meso- and metathorax are 

 rose pink beneath, with brown markings of which the most 

 prominent are as follows: one rounded, almost divided by a 

 longitudinal white line, slightly anterior to the inter-eoxal 

 space and a large curved one on each side just anterior to the 

 coxse, which are brown at base. In addition to these, the 

 metathorax has a pair of large brown spots on each side near 

 the anterior margin which are not found on the mesothorax, 

 and between these pairs a rather indistinct geminate spot.
