Grote, the type of which is rubbed and the faint transverse anterior line and 
discal spot may have been obliterated, not being mentioned in the de¬ 
scription. The wings are, however, clearly not short and broad as de¬ 
scribed (and as shown also in the photograph before me); but are, as 
usual, rather long, the outer margin gently convex. The size, too, is 
much smaller; but the specimens may have been reduced by breeding, 
although Mr. Howard does not think that this can be the case to any 
great extent. Otherwise this form is distinct from any in our fauna, 
nor is there anything like it in the Biologia Centrali-Americana. Mr. 
Druce and Mr. Schaus have both described several Lasiocampids since 
the date of the Biologia; but a perusal of their descriptions does not 
suggest that any of them have to do with the present insect.

The following notes, sent me by Mr. Howard, show the dates 
observed for the emergence of the moths as bred at Washington. 
“ April 10, 1895. Received from J. W. Tourney, Tuscon, Arizona 
a web of a Lasiocampid and some partly grown larvae found feeding on 
Quercus emoryi; only observed on a few trees. Accompanying them 
was a strip or band of web taken from the tent. Mr. Tourney has been 
informed that great bands of such web hang from the branches imme¬ 
diately around the tent like long streamers. 
The larvae are bright ferruginous with a yellowish lateral stripe and 
dull black head. 
There are three median dorsal rows of white soft hairs and a lateral 
row of same color. 
April 20th. Larvae are feeding both on buds just opening as well 
as on the dry leaves of oak. One tachinid fly issued; it is Exorista 
thlecarum. 
July 1 st. One larva spun up. 
July 10th. One moth, a female issued. 
July 16th. Five males issued; two were ruined, the remaining 
three spread.
