188 FIFTH REPORT OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL COMMISSION. 
of ;i broad, lighter brown shading along each side of the median line of the me8o- and 
meta-thoras and drat abdominal segment. Piliferous warts small, black and project- 
ing. Stigmata yellow, with narrow black annulus. Behind the two first abdominal 
Stigmata there is B dull black patch, that behind the second being largest. The ver- 
tei oi tlif head is bilobed and the lobes rounded at tip. Color of the head dark 
oherry-brown, the tip of the lobes lighter. The lower margin of the head and of the 
elypens somewhat whitish. Its surface is quite smooth, though there are some very 
delicate transverse wrinkles. 
The second larva measures l£ inches in length, and is quite pale gray, with more 
or less distinct, irregular blackish lines and spots. A very line black line borders 
each side of the two posterior thoracic and first abdominal segments, whilst on the 
other segments this line borders a more or less elongated, lozenge-shaped, paler gray, 
medio-dorsal space. The piliferous warts are of the color of the body, with black 
tips. Stigmata whitish, with black annulus. The dull black patch is only present 
behind the second stigma. Head concolorous with body; the two lobes are marked 
in front with a transverse, dark cherry-brown band. 
The third larva is about If inches in length, and very similar to the second one in 
coloration, though the color of the middle of the body is somewhat more purplish. 
On each of the two posterior thoracic and first abdominal segments is a paler gray 
triangular spot, a somewhat squarish, gray spot on the fifth and sixth abdominal 
segments, and on each side of the median line on the eighth segments is an oblique 
blackish line, both of which meet posteriorly on the median line. The purplish 
stripes of the lobes of the head are present. (Riley's unpublished notes.) 
Pupa. — Pale mahogany-brown ; cremaster very long and sharp, straight, with no 
lateral setae. (Described from a broken specimen). 
Moth. — It may be recognized by the deeply scalloped wings, and the large head, 
which is rather swollen in front. It is whitish gray, the wings clear, not bordered 
with brown. The fore wings with two distinct, heavy, black lines, the inuer very 
near the base of the wing, regularly curved, a little pointed on the costa. Outer line 
bent at right augles on the basal third of the first median vein, the line thence going 
straight to the costa, though zigzag in its course; from the rectangular bend, the line 
follows a course subparallel to the median line, where it again turns rectangularly, 
ending ou the middle of the inner edge of the wing. An inner reddish-brown line is 
parallel and near it below the median vein, and above passes just within the faint 
discal dot. Beyond this line the wing is speckled with transverse short, linear spots. 
A scalloped marginal, distinct black line. Expanse of wings, 1.80 to 1.90 inches. 
203. Eubi/ja quernaria (Abbot and Smith). 
Gueuee states ou the authority of Abbot's drawing that the cater- 
pillar of this moth lives in April and May, iu Georgia, on a species of 
Quercus. In the manuscript drawing of Abbot's iu the library of the 
Boston Society of Natural History the food-plant drawn is Cratayus 
austral is T. and G. 
Larva. — Body stouter and shorter than in the larva of Amphidasis cognataria. 
Head angular; prothoracic segments swollen ; a tubercle on the back of the third, 
the lower part of the side of the first, and ou the back of the penultimate segment. 
The body is, in the paiuting, colored slate-gray, with irregular dark spots and longi- 
tudinal slashes. 
Moth. — Female. Body stout, abdomen thick, with a dorsal row of four large tufts, 
the fourth white, the others dark. Antennae black. Head in front and palpi black- 
brown ; vertex white, rounded behind by a black thread-line; thorax white, with 
two black spots in the center, and spotted with black posteriorly. Abdomen white 
on the outer third, with a white interrupted line on each segment, spotted thickly
