INSECTS OF THE HONEY-LOCUST. 653 
lighter shade, which extends as far as the discal dots, of which there are two of jet- 
black raised scales ou each angle of the cell, the lower one being a little more remote 
from the base of the wing. Outer line scarcely visible in most of the examples, of 
the general color of the wing, dentate throughout its course, and bordered on each 
side with a very pale shade of brown, which is darker, and broadens on the costa # 
A row of terminal black dots. The middle of the wing sparingly sprinkled with 
black scales. Fringes concolorous with the wing. All the wings beneath, hind 
wings above, and abdomen light brown. All the tibiae and joints of the tarsi with 
whitish. Expanse, 19 to 22 mm . 
Habitat. — District of Columbia. Described from fifteen males and eleven females. 
(C. H. Fernald.) 
Larva. — When full-grown, 16 mm in length, greenish yellow, with three longitudinal 
brown stripes on each side of the dorsal line, extending from the thoracic to the 
anal plates, and alternating with narrow lemon-yellow stripes, the last one being on 
the line of the spiracles. Head, thoracic and anal plates with more or less brown 
marks and blotches. There is a great variation in these larvae in the intensity of 
the brown markings, but they can readily be recognized by a black lunate spot on 
the under side of the subdorsal tubercle of the third segment, behind the thoracic 
plate. 
Pupa. — Length, 10 mm ; dark brown, rounded anteriorly ; posterior end with a small 
spine on each side, extending obliquely out and backward, the end curving back, 
ward. In a line between these stand four fiue hooks, much longer than the lateral 
spines. Abdominal segments, except the last, covered with coarse punctures, except 
on the posterior edge. Wing-covers reaching to the fourth abdominal segment. 
3. The ash-gray blister beetle. 
Lytia cinerea. 
Tliis beetle, Mr. L. Bruner says, in Bulletin 13, Division of Entomol- 
ogy, p. 34, "has been observed several localities in northern Nebraska 
to entirely defoliate young hedges of honey-locust. Until the present 
summer I have not observed this insect attacking the honey-locust 
since the summer of 1876 or 1877. At that time a nursery of small 
trees of this kind was entirely stripped of leaves by them, as were 
also several larger ones standing alone." 
The following species also occur at times on this tree, which, so far 
as I have observed it, is rather free from insect pests : 
Order Lepldoptera.
