 act of eating their way out of dead beech. 



Clylanthds albofasciatus, Lap. — This species was taken by hold- 

 ing an inverted umbrella under dead wild grape vines and beating 

 them. 



Lacconotds punctatus, LeC. — Mr. Siewers took a single specimen of 

 this extremly rare Mycteria near Newport, Ky., June, 1880. 



Rymbds minor, Cr. — Since R. ulkei was taken, a more careful search 

 in the same locality produced this smaller species. Like R. ulkei, it 

 was found on partly decayed logs of beech. 



Liodes blanch ardi, Horn. — In company with L. discolor, near New- 

 port, I took this species. The t} T pe was from Lowell, Mass. — Charles 

 Dury, Avondale, Hamilton county, Ohio. 



Macrosila cingulata, Fabr. — A fine and very perfect specimen of 

 this handsome Moth was caught in September, 188 L, in the conserva- 

 tory of the Cincinnati Floral Compan}^, this city, and is now in my 

 collection. This species differs from M. quinque maculata, Haw., 

 principally in the coloration of the hind wings and abdominal spots, 

 which are in cingulata of a beautiful and brilliant pink. I am not 

 aware that the species has been recorded heretofore as occuring in this 

 localit} 7 . — John W. Shorten, Cincinnati, O.
