12 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Pyrameis cardui, Linn. — Cacouna. 



Lycœna joembina, Edwards. — Two specimens of this rare insect were taken 

 at Cacouna on tke 19 th of July, one in tolerably good order, the other 

 much beaten. At the same time a larva was taken feeding on a blue 

 vetch, very abundant there (vicia cracca), which I strongly suspect to be 

 the larva of this species. Several specimens were secured, but a series of 

 mishaps prevented my rearing any of them. I append a description, with 

 the hope that some entomologist may before long meet with it again. 



Length 0.50 in., onisciform. 



Head very small, brownish black, drawn within the second segment when at 

 rest. 



Body above delicate pink or flesh color, thickly covered with very short fine 

 pink hairs scarcely visible without a magnifying glass, a brownish red 

 dorsal line from third to terminal segments, widest and darkest on anterior 

 segments. Second segment pinkish anteriorly, with a patch of dull green 

 behind just in front of the dark dorsal line on third segment. On each 

 side are eight short brownish red lines, those on third and fourth segments 

 being placed nearly parallel with the dorsal line, those behind extending 

 obliquely down the sides and edged above with dull white. A lateral line 

 of dull white close to under surface extending on each side from third to 

 terminal segments, fainter on anterior segments. 



Under surface greenish along the middle bordered with pink, which shades 

 gradually into a pinkish red line, lying close to the white one which forms 

 the boundary of upper surface ; feet greenish faintly tipped with brown ; 

 prolegs green. 



Specimens less than half grown have a decidedly greenish tint, with a dark 

 reddish brown dorsal line ; the lateral lines with that close to under 

 surface are of a whitish green with a tinge of yellow ; under surface dark 

 green with a brownish red line underlying the greenish white one which 

 borders the upper surface. 



Half grown specimens are pinkish with a tint of green, as they grow older 

 they gradually assume the delicate pink of the full grown specimen.
