322 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. {July, ’o8 
One moth emerged in the laboratory in May, 1908, and ‘this 
was identified by Dr. Harrison G. Dyar as Crocigrapha nor- 
mant, Grote. Several other pupae were alive at this time, but in 
an attempt to hasten their emerging they were overheated and 
killed. 
As nothing whatever is recorded of the life-history of this 
moth, the following description of the larva is taken from my 
notes at the Maine Agricultural Experiment Station: 
June 29, 1907. Larva half grown. Head clear amber in 
color with two glistening black spots on each lobe. Ventral 
and ventro-lateral body and pro-legs pale greyish blue-green. 
Seven very delicate longitudinal lines of pale blue extend along 
the body, one being mid-dorsal and the three on each side placed 
(a) one dorsal the spiracle line, (b) one half way between the 
mid-dorsal line, and (a), and (c) one ventrad the spiracle line, 
Between the mid-dorsal line and (b) the body is soft green 
with a bluish cast. Between (a) and (b) extends a dark green 
stripe. 
July 9, 1907. Larva 1% inches long, and apparently about 
full grown. Head shiny yellow with one irregular dark mot- 
tled blotch on each lobe. Dorsal and dorso-lateral aspects mot- 
tled gray-brown. Ventral and ventro-lateral (to above the 
spiracle line) pale gray green. Legs pale. 
The accompanying photograph (Plate XIII.) taken July 10, 
1907, gives a good idea of the form of this larva and is also 
suggestive of its feeding habits. 
The pupa, which is glistening brown, varies from I5 mm. 
to 19 mm. in length. 
Types of the larvae and pupae are deposited in U. S. Na- 
tional Museum and in the collection of the Maine Agricultural 
Experiment Station. 
Mr. Aucust BuscKx has gone to England for the Summer to work 
on microlepidoptera with Lord Walsingham. 
Mr. ErtcnH Darcke, of Philadelphia, is recovering from his long 
illness, and soon expects to go on with his explorations in New 
Jersey.
