iSqi.] entomological news. 25 



picked out a set of seven males which show a gradual variation 

 from having but a single spot on each wing to having very large 

 black spots on the wings. Leucarctia acrea; males fairly com- 

 mon; took but one female. Spilosoma virginica, Hyphantria 

 textor, EuchcBtes collaris, two pairs; Halisidota caryce. I took a 

 number of these, one pair only, having a spot on the secondaries, 

 Orgyia leucosigma. One of my specimens Mr. Edwards says is 

 the largest that he has ever seen. It measures one and a half 

 inches. Apatelodes torrefacta, one male; Datmia angusi, one 

 male; Datana inter gerrivia, Datayia perspiaia, five pairs; Nadata 

 ^ibbosa, five males. In one the silver spots on primaries are 

 almost invisible. Lophodo7ita ferruginea, two males, one having 

 secondaries all gray. Edema albifrons, one pair; Seirodoiita 

 ■bilineata, one pair; Coelodasys unicornis ^ one pair; Coelodasys 



? ; one male only. Several well known collectors have 



failed to identify this. Janassa lignicolor, one male; a beautiful 

 specimen. Heterocampa unicolor; a beautiful pair of this which 

 I believe is difficult to take perfect. The male was taken in May 

 and the female in last week of July. Centra borea/is, one male; 

 Cerura occidentalism one male; Cerura cinerea one pair; Actias 

 //<;?«, six males; Philosamia cynthia, Callosamia pro7?iethea, Cal- 

 losamia angulifera, two females; Platysamia cecropia, Hyper- 

 chiria io, thirty males. I took many beautiful varieties of this 

 ■one the primaries almost all cream color, another heavily shaded 

 with black. Eacles imperialism thirty males and three females. 

 atheroma regalis, two pairs; Dryocampa rubicunda, four males. 

 Clisiocampa americana, Artace ptinctistriga, four males; Cossus 

 ■centerensis, one male. I think this is the first reported from this 

 locality. Prionoxystus robince, three females.
