gathered from different sources, but principally from the British 
Museum Catalogue of Lepidoptera (1. c), and from letters from for- 
eign entomologists to Dr. L. O. Howard. 
The following classified list will indicate more exactly the localities, 
States, provinces, etc., where the species is known to occur. It is 
ver}' probable that it occurs in greater or less abundance throughout 
the various countries from which it is recorded, and it may perhaps 
now be said that the prophec}' of Grote, made some years ago, ''We 
shall soon write after its habitat, 'The World,'" has been practically 
fulfilled:

most injurious species have been introduced from foreign countries
