CATOCALA CONCUMBENS. 
In Yol. II, Proc. Ent. Soc. of Phila., Mr. W. Saunders, of Canada, thus describes the 
larva : “ length, two to two and-a-half inches, onisciform. Head flat, dark greyish, intermixed 
with red. Upper surface dirty brown, with a lightish chain-like dorsal stripe and a very 
small fleshy protuberance on each side of this stripe on each segment. On ninth segment is a 
small protuberance of a brownish color, and on the eleventh a mark resembling an oblique 
incision. A thick lateral fringe of short hair close to the under surface. Under surface pink- 
ish, with a central row of round black spots which are larger about the middle of the body 
and much smaller towards the extremities. Food-plant, willow.” 
Habitat. Canada, Eastern and Middle States; rare in Pennsylvania, but more plentiful 
in Massachusetts and other New England States. 
This lovely insect is nearer allied to the European C. Pacta than to any American spe- 
cies ; it is a little larger than Pacta and the color of the abdomen is different, (being rosy in 
that species,) otherwise it resembles it very closely in most respects. 
I hope this second plate of Catocalidre will meet with the same hearty approval as did 
the first, (plate III of this work,) and, as I promised in that number, I will, if I live, in due 
time give figures of every known North American species. 
Anarta Cordigera, Thnbg. — Anarta Luteola, Grote and Robinson. 
I have compared examples of Anarta Cordigera with the types of Anarta Luteola, in the 
Musuem of the Am. Ent. Soc., and can find not the slightest difference between the two, al- 
though Grote and Robinson say, in their description* of Luteola, “ the differences between 
the species are perhaps sufficiently great to render a detailed comparison unnecessary,” perhaps 
like the large lettered names on maps and placards, they are so great that no one ever notices 
them; in the above instance, after the closest examination, I cannot find a single point that 
would in the slightest degree indicate a specific distinction.
