more indented, the thorax more convex, with the limbs and wings ar¬ 
ranged much the same. The propodeum is longer and slenderer, and 
the subpedunculate abdomen is as in the imago, the two first segments 
being greatly lengthened over the terminal short retracted ones, and the 
tip is more incurved, so that the hind tarsi reach to the tip, and the ab¬ 
domen is rounded ovate, where in Vtspa it is oblong.

A NEW ANISOTA. 
By Harrison G. Dyar. 
Many larvse of the following species were found at West Palm 
Beach, Florida, on live oak in January, 1896. I am indebted to Mr. 
L. H. Joutel for obtaining me food plants for them during the winter. 
Anisota consularis, sp. nov. 
Male ; smaller than the female; body ochreous brown, wings dark purplish 
brown, a larger ill-defined subhyaline space in the center of the fore wings; a round 
white discal dot. Terminal -space more purplish than the basal part of the wing. 
Closely resembles the male of A. senatoria in color, but the hind wings are 
rounded as in the female, not angulated at apex and anal angle, and the t.-p. line is 
much more obscure. 
Female; wings purplish brown, basal and terminal spaces darker; a white dis¬ 
cal dot and faint blackish strigse. Hind wings with a purplish mesial band. 
Darker than either senatoria or stigma , the lines less distinct ; wings opaque, 
not thinly scaled as in virginiensis. Types male and female, bred from larvse. 
Larva. Primary spines black, secondary granules sparse, white. Head shin¬ 
ing red brown, width 3.5 to 4 mm. Body red-brown, a dorsal, subdorsal (i), lateral 
(iii), stigmatal and subventral clouded black bands. Dorsal and stigmatal bands 
harp* and narrow, the others clouded, the subventral filling the whole space. All 
except the subventral are bordered by white shaded lines on the lower side, that be¬ 
low the stigmatal line very distinct. All the lines become obsolete on joint 12, 
leaving the anal end and all the feet red-brown. In large examples the skin has a 
fleshy tint, different from the head and plates, while the shaded lines tend to be 
broken at the primary spines. 
The following table will separate the larvae of Anisota.
