WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS. 
A letter was read from Mr. Aug. R. G-rote, dated New York, Aug. 
13tli, 1863, making the following statement;— 
“ I have learned from Mr. Cutler of Hoboken, N. J., that he has 
bred Lacinia cymatoplioroides and L. expultrix from the larva. Mr. 
Cutler states in general terms that the larva of the former species is 
brown with pearly spots on the anterior segments. It is also well 
clothed with hair anteriorly. The larva of L. expidtrix.^ on the con¬ 
trary, is light green without Hhe pearly spots, and uniformly but very 
slightly clothed with hair. The larva of both species feed on the pin 
oak, are full grown in June, the imago appearing in July. From 
these statements, should they be correct, the separation of these species 
is justified not alone on the difference of larval coloring, which might 
be accidental, but on the difference of ornamentation ” 
The following paper was presented for publication in the Proceedings: 
^^Additions to the Catalogue of U. S. Lepidoptera, No. 5, by A. R. Grote.” 
And was referred to a Committee.
