two median prominences are longest, and are united at their bases 
Palpi very stout, the basal articles with a few long hairs; inner 
ramus of forceps thumb-like and with spinose hairs; outer ramus a 
strongly curved hook. 
Legs with strong, plumose, spine-like hairs on their basal articles, 
which hairs grow less and less stout towards the distal extremity of 
the limbs until upon the distal articles they form long, slender seta. 
Anterior legs equal to the body in length, tapering but slightly to 
the distal extremity. Two basal articles about equal, the proximal 
slightly the stronger. Third article longest, twice the length of the 
sixth. Fourth article nearly as long as the sixth, about half the 
length of the fifth. Adhesive hairs fewer and more slender than 
those of the other legs. Legs of the three posterior pairs much 
shorter than the anterior, and with less difference in the lengths of 
the articles composing them. 
The eyes consist of two approximated ocelli on each side of the 
cephalothorax. Adults in life marked with red and black. The 
pattern has been destroyed by alcohol. The majority of those ex¬ 
amined have large anal protuberances. - 
Length of body .088 inch; width of same .025 inch. 
With the above, another mite, similar, but paler and smaller, 
was frequently taken in meadows. It is thus described by Mr. 
Garni an: 
Bryobia pallida , n. s., H. Gar man. 
A small, pale species agreeing with B. pratensis in general form. 
Anterior legs slightly longer than the body, with the fourth article 
markedly shorter than the sixth. Scale-like appendages somewhat 
wider and shorter proportionally. Two outer of the frontal processes 
wider at their tips than those of B. pratensis. Median pair of pro¬ 
cesses more slender than the outer and united for half their length. 
Color whitish. Length of body .024 inch; width of same .015 inch. 
Occurs with the preceding on grasses in meadows. The anal pro¬ 
tuberance is conspicuous in most of the examples seen. 
4. Miscellaneous Notes. 
The larva of Hcematopis grataria , Fabr., was seen at Effingham, 
August 21, abundant upon white clover. 
Dichelia sulphureana, Clemens, was repeatedly bred from clover 
leaf rollers during the season. 
From small green leaf rollers collected on clover May 14, images 
of Cacoecia rosaceana, Harris, and of Tortrix pallorana , Fobs., 
(Plate YI, Figs. 8 and 9) were bred, the imagos emerging during the 
middle of June. The latter species was also bred from the common 
ragweed, ( Ambrosia trifida), specimens collected May 16, pupating 
June 12, and emerging six days later. Another example collected 
on Erigeron canadense , May 17, pupated in a fold of the leaf Ma) 
80, and completed its transformations on the 7th June, 
other clover leaf rollers taken May 23, examples of Ilypena scam, 
Fabr., emerged.
