HAZEL INSECTS. 641 
12. Lithocolletis coryliella (Chambers.) 
According to the Chambers, the larva makes a nearly circular blotch 
mine in the upper surface of the leaf. Our figure represents what we 
suppose to be the blotch mines of this worm, frequently observed at 
Providence, K. I., in September and October. (Fig. 213.) 
13. Chrysomela multigutiis Stol. 
Mr. D. W. Coquillett, has bred this beetle, which feeds on the hazel, 
in Illinois. The beetles appeared the middle of June, when they were 
seen pairing on the leaves. 
The beetle. — Body dull white ; a dark colored dorsal line on which is a row of brown 
spots ; on each side of the body are two rows of brown spots ; head yellowish brown, 
marked with a black spot on each side. Length, 10 mm .

* Remarkable flight of Zerene catenaria Guenee. — An Associated Press dis- 
patch, readiug as follows, appeared in the papers of October — , 1880, Lackawaren, 
Pa. : " Immense numbers of large white butterflies have made their appearance, to 
the alarm of the farmers. The mass is so dense in some places that it appears like a 
snow-storm. Their destruction would probably avert the ravages of the army worm.'' 
Through the kindness of Mr. C. W. Shannon, postmaster at Lackawaxen, specimens 
of this so-called butterfly were received at the Department. They proved to be the 
quite common geometrid moth known scientifially as Zerene catenaria Guene*e. The.
