270 FIFTH KFPORT OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL COMMISSION. 
Larva. — Hud \ nine h compressed ; head not so wide M the body, OOmprcoood, flat 
tened in front, elevated towards the vertex, cleft, ending in two rounded conical tu- 
bercles; pule rust-red, densely marbled with a tine net-work of darker lines. Body 
pale rust-red, with a pale pep-green patch on the wide of the second and third tho- 
racis segments, not reaching to the anterior spiracle. First abdominal segment with 
a large high acute conical tubercle, bearing at tip two very slender spreading brown 
CJ lmdrical tubercles. On tifth a slight hump, bearing two small warts; eighth seg- 
ment bearing a rather large dorsal hump, supporting two dark warts; in front is a 
broken V-shaped silver mark, the apex directed forward. Anal legs brown, held out, 
with end of body, horizontally. Three lateral obscure oblique lines connecting with 
a dark obscure lateral straight line placed some distance above the spiracles. Peel 
all rust reddish, thoracic feet paler. Length 20 mm . 
Moth. — Fore wings light brown, with patches of greenish white and. with wavy 
dark brown lines, two of which inclose a small whitish space near the shoulders ; a 
short blackish mark near the middle ; the tip and outer hind margin whitish, tinged 
with red in the males ; and near the outer hind angle there are oue small white and 
two black dashes ; the hind wings of the male are dirty white, with a dusky spot on 
the inner hind angle ; those of the female are sometimes entirely dusky ; the body is 
brownish, and there are two narrow black bands across the fore part of the thorax. 
The wings expand from oue inch and a quarter to one inch and a half, or nearly. 
(Harris.) It differs from the other species of the genus iu having on the thorax dark 
transverse lines before and behind, with the internal angle of the hind wings dark. 
Iu this genus the antenme are pectinated to the tip, the palpi are short; fore wings 
rather broad, square at the apex, the outer margin hardly oblique, and the anal tuft 
is bifid. 
40. Lochmaus sp. 
A Dotodontian described below occurred on the elm August 22. I 
tried iu vain to rear it; it began to make its cocoon September 20. but 
died. 
Larva. — Young. Body rather slender, somewhat compressed. Head rather large, 
produced toward the apex, but not conical, green ; on each side a white straight line 
edged in front with black. On first abdominal segment a pair of bright red 
dorsal tubercles, third segmeut from the end of the body humped, the hump ending 
in two rounded bead-like, reddish tubercles. Anal legs rather large, oblique, but not 
strikingly so, and not held out straight as in N. unicornis. Body pale green, color of 
the uuder side of the elm leaf. Three yellow dorsal lines, the median the narrowest, 
on the abdomen. On thoracic segments a broad single white line, containing two 
parallel dark distinct purple thread-like lines; 2 to 4 small yellow warts on each 
segment. Anal legs with a dark external line. Length l"2 mm . 
41. GUtjyhisia irilineata Pack. 
We have but a single eastern species of this genus to wbich possibly 
the Gluphisiai uhni of Harris' Correspondence (p. 302) belougs. It 
is represented on his PI. II, Figs. 2-3. He states that the caterpillar 
inhabits the American elm, occurring in August, September, and Octo- 
ber. We add his description of the caterpillar, which, however, may 
possibly be that of Lochnueus manteo, as Harris' figure very closely 
represents that caterpillar, though he undoubtedly bred this Gliqyhisia 
from the elm. 
Larva.— Green, back paler. Head with a white lateral stripe edged before with ver- 
milion and black ; a reversed black V on the front; side of the body with minute black 
points and very short longitudinal lines. A white lateral line converging on the fourth
