1927] Notes on the Present Distribution of Two Moths

taming to the specimen, “A pupa of Eurrhypara urticata L. was 
collected at Falmouth, Me., June 22, 1923, by S. M. Dohanian. 
The adult issued June 25, 1923. Identification was made by F. 
H. Mosher and verified by C. Heinrich.’ ’ The previous records 
of this species in America is that given by Wm. T. M. Forbes in 
the work above cited: “E. urticata L. has become established at 
MacNab’s Island, and at Truro, Nova Scotia. The larva is 
found on nettle.” 
Although the two moths are not of special economic impor- 
tance, it seems desirable that their gradual dispersion from time 
to time should be given as showing the time required and the 
apparent lines of dispersal of introduced species.
