Americana Harris, Ins. Ing. Veg. 1st ed. 317; 3rd ed. 435; hastiiUfera 

 Guen., Noct. 1, p. 47. Harris describes the larva on elm, chestnut, 

 and maple. Prof. Eiley also describes it, and his description agrees 

 well with Harris's. This larva agrees fairly with that figured by Ab- 

 bot and Smith as identical with the European Aceris on pi. 93. I 

 refer the student to Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci. 1, 154, for a discussion of 

 the probably correct synonymy. What species is intended by Abbot 

 under hastulifera is not known. Coquillett describes the larva of 

 Americana found on Red Oak, Pai)ilio 1, 6. Guen(5e's name acericola 

 is based on the figure of the imago given by Abbot on pi. 93. Per- 

 haps the larva varies, but it is strange if Abbot's two plates of lias- 

 tulifera and aceris represent the same species. The imago which 

 Abbot calls hastulifera looks in the figure like Americana, but the 

 caterpillar does not agree with our descriptions.
