WINTER NUMBER 43 
Victorina steneles L. 
This is another one of the many species, the early stages of 
which Holland erroneously states to be unknown. Scudder, op. 
cit., p. 238, gives the following note on the early stages of this 
species: “Mature Caterpillar: Coronal spines of head 8 mm. long, 
red, broadly crimson at base, whitish in the middle and brownish 
at tip. Body velvety black, the spines reddish gray, a mediodorsal 
stripe of stiff pile, less abundant than the unequal papilla-seated 
pile on the sides. Feeds on Blechum.” 
Seitz, Macrolepidoptera, vol. V, p. 464 states that the life-his- 
tory of V. trayja only is known, and that the food-plant is Acan- 
thaceae. 
Diaethria clymena Cramer 
Early stages stated by Holland to be unknown. Described by 
Scudder (op. cit.), who states that the food-plant in Brazil is 
Trema micrantha. Another species of the genus, Trema floridana 
Britton is found in peninsular Florida and on the keys (Small), 
and is possibly the food-plant in Florida. 
Athena peleus Sulz. 
Scudder has given some notes on the early stages of this species 
in his above mentioned paper. I have frequently reared it at 
Ft. Lauderdale on Ficus carica, the cultivated fig. Scudder states 
that the food-plants are Ficus and Anacardium. Seitz states that 
the larva occurs on “‘Cachou” (Anacardium). 
The butterfly is quite common in the “hammocks” of southeast 
Florida, where the Ficus species are found. 
MEETINGS OF THE FLORIDA ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY 
December 7, 1923. A regular meeting was held in Language 
Hall, Pres. G. B. Merrill in the chair. Members present: Rogers, 
Berger, Watson, Gray, Hubbell, Major Floyd, Bates, Walker, 
Merrill, O’Byrne, Stirling, and Beyer. Dr. F. Thome was a 
visitor. 
The address of the meeting was a very interesting narrative 
by Mr. Hubbell on a collecting trip to Honduras. Prof. Hubbell 
visited Honduras in the spring of 1923 with an expedition of en- 
tomologists and pathologists in charge of Dr. Johnson. The object
