tinge. Surface wrinkled, but this no doubt largely due to contraction 
in drying. Dorsum slightly ridged. Posterior cleft fairly short. 
Derm with large gland-pits; not at all reticulate. The pits are 
strikingly large and numerous. 
Legs pale brown, ordinary. Troċhanter with a long hair; tibia 
about one-third longer than tarsus. Claw stout, not very long, curved. 
Tarsal digitules filiform, not unusually long. Digitules of claw very 
stout, with large knobs. 
Margin with long straight spines. 
Rostral loop short, not reaching to insertion of middle legs. 
Anal plates broad, when flattened not far from equilateral, but as 
ordinarily observed in situ with the posterior external side considerably 
longer than the anterior external side, the two meeting at about a tight- 
angle. 
Anal ring with very numerous hairs, which cannot be counted 
separately. 
Antennæ pale brown, 8-jointed, the joints all very distinct. 3 longest., 
Formula 3 (24) (18) 567. 7 only a little shorter than 6. 4 about 4 
shorter than 3. 8 only a little shorter than 4, tapering. 
The larger specimens seem quite adult, though they contain neither 
eggs nor larvæ 
Hab.: Sao Paulo, Brazil, on bark of twigs of Baccharis sp., two or 
more scales sometimes overlapping. (Dr. H. Von Ihering.) 
This has the general form and size of L. hesperidum (L.), but is a 
rougher, more opaque form. I do not think it is nearly related to kes- 
peridum, such resemblance as exists being merely superficial.

The Wood Leopard Moth.—There have been frequent reference 
during the last two years to the ravages of Zeuzera pyrina L., a 
lepidopterous borer of shade-trees, which has been introduced from 
Europe, and is doing great damage in the parks of New York, 
Brooklyn and adjacent cities. The various stages of the insect are 
shown in the accompanying psp er Insect Life. Its life-history 
has recently been summarized by Prof. J. B. Smith, as follows: 
“The moths make their rie in May or June, continuing 
through July and into August, and are readily attracted to light. 
It has become the most common species seen around the electric lights 
in the cities named, and each moth represents a larva that has fed for 
at least two years in the wood of a neighhoring tree, while every female 
represents the possibility of hundreds of other larvæ to follow the same 
life history.
