[November, 



39° 51' N., while LaPorte is in lat. 41° 35' N., a difference of 

 about two and a quarter degrees. The altitude of the Wayne 

 County locality is about 960 feet above sea-level, and LaPorte is 

 probably not far from 750 feet, showing that the season could not 

 have been, normally, more than a fortnight earlier at the southern 



locality. The Reports 

 of the Indiana State 

 Weather Service show 

 a difference of about 2° 

 in the mean annual 

 temperature between 

 the two localities. The 

 larvcB from LaPorte did 

 not differ in appearance 

 from those found in 

 Wayne County, nor 

 •from those figured by 

 Mr. Mally (loc. cit. vol. 

 ii, p. 140). The method 

 and locality of ovipo- 

 sition on that plant were 

 both as described of 

 this species, and as this 

 has not before been 

 shown I have illustrated 

 it in the accompanying figure, the eggs being placed in the leaf 

 stalks, just under the epidermis. On developing, the eggs in- 

 crease in size and show as distinct blotches. In the figure these 

 blotches are shown as after vacated by the young larvae, except 

 in one case where the epidermis is cut away to show the unhatched 

 larva. The adults reared from the larvae from LaPorte were the 

 ones ovipositing in the leaf from which the drawing for this illus- 

 tration was made, and were determined by myself, and later, in 

 order that there might be no possibility of error, I sent them to 

 U. S. Entomologist, Mr. L. O. Howard, whose determination 

 sustained my own in every particular.
