206 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Strecker writes as follows :—‘“ In spite of all American Lepidopterists in 
a bunch, this is the D. Chemanerii Harris, but it is identical with the 
Gallii of Europe. I have compared specimens from New York, Pensyl- 
vania, Massachusetts, Canada, Ohio, France, Regensburg, the Hartz and 
various other parts of Europe, and neither I now, nor any other living 
human being can detect any difference.”

The former description of this species was made from a single old 
specimen, on which no tufts were visible (having, no doubt, been removed 
in setting the specimen, which was, however, otherwise undenuded.) Since 
the publication of that description, I have bred the species, and the tufts 
in the fresh specimen are distinct, and the insect unquestionably belongs 
to this genus. The following description of the fresh specimen is more 
accurate than the preceding one. I have changed the specific name, 
giving it that of the food-plant. 
Head and its appendages, thorax, and primaries, with a somewhat 
indistinct dark purplish lustre, especially on the darker portions. Second 
joint of the palpi blackish, with white and a few ochreous, scales inter- 
mixed ; the third joint blackish, with but few white or ochreous scales, 
with the extreme tip pale ochreous. Head whitish ; face with few blackish 
scales intermixed ; vertex densely dusted with blackish. Antenne dark 
fuscous, with a faint narrow pale ochreous annulus at the base of each 
joint. Thorax and primaries—to the naked eye, dark iron gray with 
blackish irregular spots, some of them large—under the lens, blackish 
freely dusted with pale blue, white, and some pale ochreous scales, with 
large velvetty blackish spots not dusted. Cilize yellowish white, the basal 
half of the dorsal ciliæ freely dusted with blackish. The thoracic tuft is 
pale yellowish, those on the wings are small and whitish; the largest is 
nearest the base and within the dorsal margin; the other two are just 
behind the middle, one before the other, and both nearer to the costal
