cidse, p. 20) as feeding on the oak, Osage orange, maple, persimmon, 

 and pear, was discovered July 12-16, feeding on Apocynum androscemi- 

 folium or dogbane, at Brunswick, Me. It is pale greenish, with no 

 stripes or other markings. The head is honey-yellow. On each 

 abdominal segment, except the last two, are four dorsal whitish pilifer- 

 ous tubercles, the hairs arising from them being rather long. It 

 pupated July 19, and the moth appeared August 7. It is well repre- 

 sented by Robinson's figure 34 (Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, Feb., 1869). 



Teras hastiana L. was reared from a larva found feeding on the spruce 

 July 30, at Brunswick, Me. The caterpillar is green with a dark head. 



The following Tineid moths were also reared : 



Gelechia inscrijpta Wlsm. The larva was found feeding on the oak at 

 Brunswick, Me., September 1. The head and prothoracic shield of the 

 larva are dark amber color, the latter blackish in hind edge. Body 

 dark green, transversely ringed with red lines ending on a lateral dot, 

 the reddish bars being widest on the second and third thoracic seg- 

 ments. It pupated about September 8 or 9, and the moth was found 

 dead in the breeding box May 10 ensuing. 



Goleoj)liora cinerella Cham. A specimen of the moth was bred from 

 a larva found on the poplar at Brunswick, Me. The larva was not 

 described, but the sack is cylindrical, not flattened as usual, and the 

 posterior end is compressed, somewhat turned up, the anterior end 

 being cylindrical and tapering nearly to a point. It is of the color of 

 a dead, dry leaf. The larvae occur early in July, the moth appearing 

 Julv 14.
