GLUPHISIA SEVERA IN NEW JERSEY. 
By Harrison G. Dyar. 
Fourteen larvae of this species were collected by Mr. Beutenmiiller 
and the writer at Fort Lee, N. J., in May, 1896. The larvte pupated 
early in Juns; imago in April, 1897, of the form avimacula Hudson. 
The food-plant was Populus grandidentata. Stages IV. and V. were 
observed, differing in no respect from Californian examples (see Dr. 
Packard’s monograph, p. 98) eggs were obtained from a bred 9 • They 
correspond exactly with my description except that there is no black 
spot at the micropyle. This spot in the Californian egg was probably 
unnatural. The reticulation of the eggs are very small and rather ob¬ 
scure. This species is probably not particularly rare, but escapes obser¬ 
vation on account of the unusually early date of appearance. 
A NEW ALEURODES ON RUBUS FROM FLORIDA. 
By T. D. A. Cockerell. 
Aleurodes ruborum, sp. nov. 
9 . Very minute, about or hardly 1 mm. long; body and legs pale lemon yellow; 
wings puhe white, spotless. The main nervure appears to fork as in Aleurodicus, but 
only the lower branch is a real nervure, the nervure bending at the apparent fork, 
which is only a little more than half way from the base of the wing; the apparent 
upper fork is simply a fold. The second nervure arises from the main nervure nearly 
at the base of the wing. The margins of the wings, after maceration in caustic soda, 
appear delicately beaded. Eyes not completely divided. Antennae 7-jointed, second 
joint excessively stout, its breadth at top, which is obliquely truncate, being at least 
as great as that of basal portion of femur. Third joint long, cylindrical, coarsely 
ringed throughout; fourth short and oval, broader than third; fifth narrow, cylin¬ 
drical, a little longer than fourth, and very much narrower; sixth cylindrical, al¬ 
most or quite as long as 4-)-5 ; seventh shorter than sixth, but longer than fifth; third 
about as long as 4-)~5-)-6. Anterior tibia very slender, its distal end swollen. 
Middle and hind tibia not nearly twice as long as their tarsi. Genitalia ordinary. 
Pupa: About | mm. long, oval, flat, delicately transversely ribbed, with a delicate 
fringe of long, glossy rods, easily broken off; the longest of these rods may be almost 
or quite as long as the breadth of the pupa. Color of pupa black; by transmitted light 
after boiling in caustic soda extremely dark vandyke brown. Margin presenting at 
intervals round, clear orifices, about 14 on each side. Vasiform orifice an elongate 
triangle, the base about two-thirds the length of a side; operculum heart-shaped, or 
approximately so, with the corners rounded and the base about as long as a side; 
lingua projecting only a little beyond, the projecting portion semilunar in outline, 
showing seme tendency to crenulation, after the manner of A. erigerontis.
