NO. 1268. REVIEW OF SOME AMERICAN MOTHS— BUSCK. 749 
The larva is gTeen, darkest dorsally ; cervical shield green, unmarked; 
head g-reen, with a black dot on each side above the jaws fCoquillett]. 
This species is unknown to me except from the description. It can 
not from this alone ))e properly placed with certainty, and it is possi- 
ble that it belongs in the grou}) with veins 2 and 8 stalked in forewing. 
Fi'om the figure and description it looks to be very close to heracUana, 
and I have therefore placed it so.

This fine little species, which is very distinct from all other described 
American species, but which resembles the European Dejwessaria 
(itmjnthieUa Herrich-Schiiffer,' I have bred from water parsnip grow- 
ing on the Virginia side of the Potomac just above Washington. The 
larva is light sulphur yellow, strikingly marked by the small but 
inten.sely black, shining tubercles, which emit short black hairs. The 
head is rather dark ocherous, shining, with black eyespots; thoracic 
shield paler ocherous. 
The larva folds and ties together the leaves and pupates among rub- 
bish on the ground. Nearly full-grown larvae were found early in 
July and the imagos issued by the end of the same month. A bred 
series and blown larvte are in the U. S. National Museum. 
39. DEPRESSARIA SCABELLA Zeller. 
Depressaria scahella Zeller, Verh. Zool. Bot. Ges. Wien., XXIII, 1873, p. 236. — 
Chambers, Bull. U. S. Geol. Surv. Terr., IV, 1878, p. 138.— Riley, Smith's 
List Lep. Bor. Am., 1891, No. 5280. 
Depressaria scabrella Walsingham, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1881, p. 312. 
This species is unknown to the writer except from the description, 
which seems to indicate that it is not a true Depressaria. The nearly 
smooth labial palpi and the raised scales on the forewing are, as men- 
tioned by Zeller, unusual to the genus. It was described from Ohio; 
the type is in the British Museum.
