Plume-moth. (Platyptilia pusillidactyla Walker.) 
This small Pterophorid moth, which has been determined by Dr. 
H. G. Dyar, is native of Jamaica, St. Thomas, Grenada, etc., but 
has not been recorded from the United States (t. Dyar). 
Remigia repanda,* see p. 774 ; Gypsochroa sitellata, fig. 239, and 
see p. 776; and a plain silvery tineid (Setomorpha, sp.), were also in 
this lot. Leucania, or Heliophila, unipuncta, Plusia rogationis, 
and Diaphania hyalinata were sent in February. 
Remigia repanda, p. 774. Add the following : 
A mature larva, referred to this species by Dr. H. G. Dyar, was 
sent to me by Mr. L. Mowbray, in December. It differs consider- 
ably in color from the description on p. 775 (after Dyar). 
Prolegs, 2 pairs, separated from the anals by 2 legless segments. 
* Colors of this specimen much plainer and darker than in the U. S. speci- 
men figured (pl. xeviil, fig. 6). Fore wings dark ocherous brown, with scarcely 
any distinct markings, except the three slightly darker cross-lines, and distal 
row of small obscure dark spots; the wavy lines and speckled appearance are 
lacking.
