306 FIFTH REPORT OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL COMMISSION. 
63". Catocala habilis Grote. 
" The larvre of this species were in company with those of obscura, 
mentioned above. Different sizes were taken ; but slight changes in 
color or ornamentation were noted at the molts. This larva is quite 
different from any of the genus heretofore identified by me. It pupated 
in the usual cocoon ; the first to change July 18 gave a moth August 18." 
(Kellicott.) 
Larva. — An average mature caterpillar measured 2 inches in length ; slender, color 
dark, in some almost black ; skin shining. Along the dorsum there is a broad stripe, 
lighter than the general hue ; on either side a darker one of equal width ; the stig- 
matal stripes almost black ; beneath pale whitish, with black spots on the middle 
segments. Head reddish black, with faint reticulations in white. 
64. Catocala sp. 
Order Lepidopteba ; family Xoctcid2B. 
This caterpillar occurs in June on the pig-nut hickory at Providence. 
Larva. — Young 13 ,mn long. Body very slender, head very small, considerably nar- 
rower than the prothoracic segment. Body tapering towards each end, tirst abdomi- 
nal segment about as long as all the thoracic ones, the abdominal segments being 
very long compared with the thoracic ones; third and fourth abdominal segments 
with minute legs, those on the fourth a little larger than those on the third segment; 
those on fifth and sixth segments large and rather slender, blackish in front. Anal 
legs very long, slender and spreading. Supra-anal plate very short and wide, rounded 
behind. At base of anal legs next to the hind edge of the supra-anal plate are two 
large shining dark piliferous tubercles; four conspicuous black dorsal piliferous warts. 
Body dull pearl colored, with two dorsal parallel wrinkled white lines; three similar 
lateral lines. Upper side of thoracic legs dark. Head and thoracic segments a little 
more dusky than the abdominal ones; head streaked longitudinally with white and 
black. Clypeus with a median black line, and sides lined with black. Thoracic feet 
a little dusky. Four lateral piliferous conspicuous dots on each abdominal segment, 
arranged in an oblique rhomb. Length 13 mm . Found on Carya porcina May 24, 
molted about the 26th, becoming 22 m,n long, with the four anterior abdominal feet 
well developed. 
Full-grown larva. — June 11. Head duil pearl, marbled with longitudinal irregular 
black lines, somewhat flattened in front. Body dull pearl, mottled with brown and 
blackish lines and spots. On top of each segment are four white dots arrauged in a 
square. A pair of rather broad interrupted dark brown dorsal lines, and a similar 
lateral supra-stigmatal band. Five pairs of abdominal feet, all well developed. Be- 
neath pale, with a median series of about twelve dark red -brown patches connected 
together posteriorly. Length, June 4, 40 ram . Although the young larva was supposed 
to be a Pyralid, after the last molt the Catocala-like characters revealed them- 
selves. 
65. Eugonia suWignaria (Hiibner.) 
Order Lepidoplia; family Phal.eind.e. 
During the past summer specimeus of this common northern geo- 
metrid were received from Mr. Adam Davenport, of Morgan ton, Fan- 
nin County, Ga. In the accompanying letter Mr. Davenport stated 
that the insects had first been noticed in the county two years before, 
aud that they had rapidly spread uutil they were now destroying
