﻿174 CLEMENS' SYNOPSIS OF 



Pupation. — Larval transformation subterranean. The pupa is dark brown, with a very short cylindrical 

 tongue-case bulbous at the extremity, and applied to the breast. 



Food-plants. — Mr. Newman, of Philadelphia, found a pupa of this insect beneath an isolated ash tree, 

 under such circumstances as to render it probable that this is one of the food-plants of the larva. 



Geographical distribution. — Long Island, New York, Pennsylvania. 



Measurements — a Male.

This insect, I believe, has not heretofore been described. The imago and larva 

 were figured many years since by Mr. John Le Conte ; the figures, however, were never 

 published. Mr. Wilson obtained copies of these by some means and reproduced them, 

 and very badly, in his Treatise on Entomology, without describing the imago. 



Tongue somewhat longer than the body.

Mature Larva. — Head yellow with two black lines. Body gray, with three rows of dorsal, square, dark 

 gray spots, one of which is vascular, having a black dot at each angle, and a slender, whitish, vascular 

 line, with whitish striee between the square spots. First segment with two dashes and one subdorsal on 

 each side. The larva is full grown about August 27th and Nov. 10th, which latter produces an imago in 

 April following. Abbot & Smith.
