98 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 5 1 



New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, and south to District of 

 Columbia. 



This species has been bred from Cymatophora pampinaria Guenee, 

 one specimen issuing from a larva collected on cranberry at Cotuit, 

 Massachusetts, by J. B. Smith (Riley Notes, Bureau of Entomol- 

 ogy) ; also from Hyphantria textor, at Washington, D. C. (No. 78 03 

 Riley Notes) . 



One female specimen was bred at the Gipsy Moth Parasite Labo- 

 ratory, North Saugus, Massachusetts, issued July 29, 1907, which 

 may have come from native Buproctis chrysorrhoca. 



Eusisyropa boarmicc Coquillett. — This is a Florida and Southern 

 States form closely allied to blanda. It reaches Arkansas and Mis- 

 souri. It has light reddish yellow legs and second antennal joint, 

 these being quite concolorous with the reddish yellow palpi, and 

 possesses a small third sternopleural bristle. 



The type specimen was bred from a larva of Aletia argillacea, 

 received from Oxford, Mississippi, issued November 14, 1882 (No. 

 468 L°, Riley Notes, Bureau of Entomology). The species has not 

 been bred from Cymatophora (Boarmia), the Boarmia-bred speci- 

 men mentioned by Coquillett being B. blanda.
