alike, it will not be hard to select the largest patch of green seen 

 about a hundred yards down the cliffs. Reaching here in pursuit 

 of a single insect which I saw alight, I found yi. Sckoe7iherrii&ed- 

 ing on the blossoms of various plants, and to my astonishment 

 found no trouble in taking them with a bottle, obtaining about a 

 dozen good specimens. Here also were semidea, which could be 

 picked up in the grass with the fingers. Unfortunately, it was 

 really too late in the season for semidea, and when the record of 

 the two days was examined we found that we had only sixty good 

 specimens between us, throwing away more than that number. 



Though not a Coleopterist myself, I try to remember that 

 others are when I am hunting, and capture anything that I see. 

 Thus I took ten varieties of beetles among the rocks at the sum- 

 mit. whicTi will be given to the first friend who applies for them. 

 Two are handsome species of Longicorns. As a matter of cu- 

 riosity I also captured and brought home to be labeled " Summit 

 of Mount Washington" Pieris rapce^ Colias philodice^ Vanessa 

 Milbertii, Argynnis atalantis, Grapta progne, and Drasteria 

 erechtea. I have also taken Papilio tu7-nus. 



EGG AND LARVA OF TWO LITHOSIANS. 



By Harrison G. Dyar, Boston, Mass. 



Grambidia pallida Packard. 



1S64.— Pack., Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil, iii, 99. 



Egg. — Oblately spheroidal, slightly more flattened on the basal 



side than above, smooth, shining, pale pink, not obviously reticu- 



_lated, though the surface js somewhat irregular; diameter 0.6 



mm. The eggs are laid perfectly loose and separate so that they 



roll around in the box. 



First larval stage. — Head round, smooth, shining, pale brown- 

 ish; mouth and vertex brown; ocelli black; width about 0.25 mm. 

 Body cylindrical, the warts not perceptible, but the hairs distinct, 

 blackish; segmental incisures evident; feet normal. Color pale 

 reddish, darker on the back. 



The larva looks like a litde Arctian, though the warts are not 

 distinguishable. The hairs are simple, pointed at the tip, but 

 swollen, or glandular at the base.
