INTRODUCTION

The present Bulletin lias been prepared in response to frequent sug-
gestions from those having occasion to use the nine Annual Eeports on
the Insects of Missouri, made by me, as State Entomologist, to the State
Board of Agriculture, during the years 1868 to 1877, inclusive. These
Eeports contain a good deal of matter aneut the Cotton Worm, the Chinch
Bug, the Eocky Mountain Locust, and other insects which the Commis-
sion has studied, and were published, as required by law, in the Annual
Eeports of said State Board of Agriculture for the years mentioned.
That method of publication was always regretted by myself and by
many others, inasmuch as the reports of the Board were generally vol-
umes of such bulk as to delay publication and render mailing expensive.
By virtue of the fact that they were distributed only to members of the
State legislature and to State societies, access to them by persons out-
side the State of Missouri was extremely difficult ; while the State print-
ing and press-work were, as a rule, of a very unsatisfactory character.
To avoid some of these difficulties it was my habit to have about 300
separate copies of the entomological portion printed on better paper, at
my own expense, for distribution to correspondents both at home and
abroad, and it is through these, principally, that the Eeports have been
accessible outside the State.

The demand for the Eeports and the manner in which they have been
used and commended by subsequent writers can but be gratifying to the
author, who feels that whatever of commendation they deserve is due to
the fact that they embody results of original investigation. They contain
some matter that, with present light, he would expunge, and the earlier
volumes, more particularly, contain imperfections which no one appre-
ciates more fully than himself. Many of these are attributable to isola-
tion from other working entomologists at the time, as well as to the almost
absolute dearth of entomological works of reference in any of the libra-
ries of Saint Louis.

The general plan of the Eeports, which were addressed to the intelli-

geiit cultivator of the soil rather than to the naturalist, is set forth in
the following passage from the introduction to the first :

Fully aware that I write for those who, as a rule, are unversed in entomology, I
have endeavored to treat of each insect with as little of the nomenclature of science
as is consistent with clearness of expression. Yet, as much that is of scientific inter-
est, such as descriptions of new species, must necessarily be inserted, I have had such
descriptions printed in a type of smaller size than the text, so that it can be skipped
jf desirable, at the time of reading, and easily referred to for comparison, with speci-
mens which one is desirous of naming,, I have also endeavored to illustrate, as far as
possible, the insects of which this report treats, believing that good illustration forms
the basis of successful teaching in a science with which the general husbandman is
not expected to be acquainted ; for the eye conveys to the mind, in an instant, what
the ear would fail to do in an hour. The practical man cares little to what genus or
family an insect belongs, so long as he can tell whether it be friend or foe. He must
become familiarized with the insects about him without having necessarily to over-
come scientific detail and technicality.

I have made no effort at a systematic arrangement of the insects treated of. Indeed,
that were useless for the purpose in view ; but, in order that the reader may refer the
more readily to any particular insect which interests him, I have separated them into
three series — Noxious, BENEFICIAL, and INXOXIOUS — and attached a very full index.
For the benefit of those who are making a study of entomology, I have also given,
with each species, the Order and Family to which it belongs, in parenthesis under
each heading.

So far as possible, I have used a common name for each insect, knowing that the
scientific name is remembered with greater difficulty, and is, consequently, distasteful
to many. But as popular names are very loosely applied, and the same name often
refers to different insects, in different localities, a great deal of confusion would ensue
without the scientific name, which is, therefore, invariably added, for the most part,
in parentheses, so that it may be skipped without interfering in any way with the sense
of the text.

In order to add value to this general index, I have brought together
tables of contents of the nine volumes and given corrections and some
notes and additions. I have also reproduced the descriptions of new
species, and added a list of descriptions of adolescent states, of descrip-
tions of species not new, of illustrations by reports, of illustrations by
classification, and of food-plants.

The Reports were independently paginated, and the separate copies
were often distributed before the Agricultural Report was off the press.
The date of publication and distribution is given for each in the tables
of contents. The nomenclature of the Reports is retained in this Bulle-
tin, the synonomy being indicated in the notes and additions and with
the reproduced descriptions. The name of the author of the species
and not of the genus was always given as authority, and in the later
Reports I endeavored to indicate whether or not the insect was described
under the generic name which it bears, by adding the authority without
a comma when the specific name is coupled with the generic name un-
der which it was first published — c . </., Plnjcita nebulo Walsh — but placed
it in parentheses when a different generic name was used than that under
which the insect was first described — c. #., Acrobasis nebulo (Walsh) —
except where the whole name was already in parentheses when a comma

INTRODUCTION. 7

was used for the same purpose — e. g. (Acrobasis nebulo, Walsh). The
same plan is adopted throughout this Bulletin.

It had always been my intention to publish a tenth volume and to end
the decade with a review of, and general index to, the whole series. In-
deed, an appropriation for the tenth year's work was made and the tenth
report would have been duly issued had I not been called at the time to
my present work for the General Government. This Bulletin is, in a
measure, the fulfillment of that intention, and is issued in the hope that
it will render the Reports more serviceable to the student of insect life
and to those having to deal with insects injurious to agriculture.

My thanks are due to Messrs. E. A. Schwarz and W. H. Patton,
agents of the Commission, for aid in its preparation.

TABLES OF CONTENTS.

Neither of the first five volumes contained a table of contents, tbe plan
of giving such having been adopted with the sixth. Most of these
tables are, therefore, prepared for this Bulletin, while those of the
Sixth and Seventh Reports are amplified. Those of the last two
volumes are reproduced as they were originally made.

CORRECTIONS.

A list of errata is given for each volume, and they are here repro-
duced with such additional ones as were previously omitted. Where
foreign terms were not properly accentuated in the Eeports, it was often
due to the imperfect "plant" possessed by the State printer. In count-
ing lines the running page title is omitted.

NOTES AND ADDITIONS.

Under this head it is not my purpose to publish the many additional
notes of observations which have been made by myself and others on the
various insects treated of in the reports ; but rather to indicate a few of
the more important facts, especially such as are unpublished and bear
on life-histories left incomplete. As, in preparing the reports, the older
and better known generic nomenclature was almost uniformly employed,
it is thought advisable to indicate in this bulletin the more recent
nomenclature, and this is accordingly done either in these "jSTotes" or
in connection with the reproduced "Descriptions of Xew Species" which

follow :

HYMENOPTERA.

STIZUS GRANDIS Say (Rep. I, p. 27, Fig. 12) — This lias been shown by Mr. W. H.
Patton (Bull. U. S. Geol.-Geog. Survey, vol. V, p. 342) to be only a variety of
speciosus Drury, which is the type of the genus Spliecius Dahlb.

CRYPTUS EXTREMATIS Cress. (Sep. IV, p. Ill) — The questions in regard to the
character of C. samiae Pack, have been settled by Dr. Hagen from an examination 01
the types (Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., II, 206; 1875) confirming the conclusion which I
came to. In Bulletin No. 3 of the Commission (p. 47) I have suggested that extrematis
should sink as a synonym of samice, because two species (one of which is nuncius") were
combined under it in the original description.

MICROGASTER MiLiTARis Walsh (Rep. I, p. 89 and subsequently) — This is an Apanteles'
(See my Notes on N. A. Microgasters, etc. (Extr. from Trans. St. Louis Ac. Sc. IV),
p. 19.)

ANTIGASTER MIRABILIS Walsh (Rep. VI, p. 162) — Mr. L. O. Howard has shown
(Can. Ent. October, 1880. p. 209, and February, 1881, p. 31) that the habit of rolling
back is not uncommon in the Eupdmldes, and that Antigaster cannot well be separated
from Enpelmus as at present understood.

COLEOPTERA.

CARABID LARVAE (Rep. IX, p. 97) — The second larva mentioned on this page was sub-
sequently reared by me to the perfect state and proved to be Amara obesa Say. It will be
found figured and described in the First Report of the Commission (p. 290).

LEBIA GRANDIS, Hentz (Rep. Ill, p. 100) — This belongs to Chaudoir's genus Loxopeza.

LEBIA ATRIVEXTRIS Say (Rep. VIII, p. 3) — Belongs to Chaudoir's genus Loxopeza.

HIPPODAMIA MACULATA, DeGeer (Rep. I, p. 112 and subsequently) — Now referred to
Mulsant's genus Meyilla. It does not appear that this species occurs also in Europe as
stated in the text.

COCCINELLA MUNDA Say (Rep. II, p. 25) — This is now considered synonymous with
Cycloneda sanguinca Linn.

COCCINELLA PICTA Randall (Rep. V, p. 101) — Now known as Harmoma picta.
52 '

NOTES AND ADDITIONS : COLEOPTERA. 53

MYSIA 15-PUXCTATA, Oliv. (Rep. IV, p. 18)— This has been referred to the genus
Anatis, Mulsant.

LACHXOSTERA QUERCIXA, Knoch. (Rep. 1, p. 156) — This is synonymous with fusca
Frohlich, which has priority. The fungus affecting it (p. 153 and Rep. 6, p. 125) is Cor-
dyceps racenelii Berkeley. (See American Entomologist, III, p. 139.)

CHAULIOGXATIIUS PEXXSYLVAXICUS, De Geer (Rep. I, p. 57 and subsequently) — This
is now known as Ch. amsricanus Forst., the latter name having priority. For an ac-
count of the eggs and young larvte, see Second Report of the Commission, p. 261.

SAPERDA BIVITTATA Say (Rep. I, p. 42) — This is now admitted to be a synonym of can-
dida Fabr. For a correct description of the eggs and mode of oviposition, see an article
by me in New York Weekly Tribune, Feb. 20, 1878.

BRUCHUS PISI Linn. (Rep. Ill, p. 44) — This name of the 12th edition of Linnaeus's
"Systeina Natune" gives way in modern catalogues to pisorum L. of the 10th edition.

FIDIA VITICIDA Walsh (Rep. I, p. 32) — This species is not mentioned by Crotch in
his "Materials for the Study of the Phytophaga of theU. S." (Proc. Ac. Nat. Sc. Phil.,
1873), but his Fidia murina (1. c. p. 33) is undoubtedly synonymous with Walsh's viticida,
the latter name having priority by several years. In Crotch's " Checklist" this species
is also omitted, but the Fidia vitis Walsh in the "Omissions" to that list (p. 127) is
probably meant for viticida.

HALTICA CHALYBEA, Illiger (Rep. Ill, p. 79) — This belongs to the genus Graptodera
Chevr.

HALTICA CUCUMERIS Harris (Rep. I, p. 101) — This is uowreferred to the genus Epitrix,
Foudras.

PHYSONOTA QUIXQUEPUXCTATA Walsh & Riley (Rep. II, p. 59) — This is synony-
mous with Ph. unipunctata (Say), there being no question as to the specific identity of
the two, both having been bred by Mr. F. H. Chitteudeu, of Ithaca, N. Y., from larvse
on a wild sun-flower (Helianthus).

CASSIDA NIGRIPES Oliv. (Rep. II, p. G3)— The eggs of this species are much like those
of aurichalcea (Rep. II, Fig. 31) in size, form and color, though the spiue-like appen-
dages break off more easily. They may, however, be distinguished by being larger
(1.6mra long without projections), having, in fact, nearly double the bulk, and by the
flat posteriorly projecting piece which bears the spine-like appendages being gener-
ally greatly developed so as sometimes to extend beyond the apex fully one-third the
length of the whole egg. Sometimes this piece divides distinctly into three spines,
but in other cases it is quite blunt.

CASSIDA BIVITTATA Say (Rep. II, p. 61)— The eggs of this species are pale and
ovoid, just lmm long, but invariably covered with a yellowish secretion which dries
and spreads out each side, and this by a black excrementitious material which gives
the egg from above the appearance of an ovoid bit of excrement flattened on the ad-
hering side. The eggs are laid singly or in twos or threes.

CASSIDA AURICHALCEA Fabr. (Rep. II, p. 62) — This is now referred to the genus
Copiocycla Chevr.

CASSIDA PALLIDA Herbst (Rep. II p. 62) — This is now recognized as a synonym of
Coptocycla aurichalcea (Fabr.).

COPTOCYCLA GUTTATA, Oliv. (Rep. II, p. 63)— The eggs of this species, which I have
often since observed, are- deposited singly or in twos, threes or fours. They are rather
more than lmm long, of the same general form and character as those of Cassida bi-
vittata, but more narrow and elongate. The color is pale yellowish and translucent.
The egg is always covered with a viscid fluid which dries to form a transparent cov-
ering verging to fulvous or gamboge in color. This covering almost always spreads
out on each side of the egg in ray-like ridges, those on each side parallel and slightly
oblique, and whenever the egg is single these ridges are remarkably regular and have
a neat appearance. There is occasionally on the top of this a varying amount of ex-

crement. The structure of the covering is similar to that found in the egg of
texana Cr. (which feeds on Solanum eleagnifolium), where, however, the ribe are finer arid
transverse, and there is no excrementitious covering. The newly hatched larva of
guttata, like that of the other species is whitish, strongly recalling in general appear-
ance an ordinary mite, the head not being concealed as it subsequently is, the hairs at
the tip of the legs being frequently clavate or knobbed, and resembling those on the
young of many Coccids. The marginal spines and the anal fork are quite well devel-
oped but simpler than in the subsequent larval stages. This newly hatched larva is
quite nimble and crawls easily over glass.

DELOYALA CLAVATA, Oliv. (Rep. II, p. 56)— Now referred to the genus Coptocycla.

BLISTER-BEETLES (Rep. 1, p. 96 ff. ) — The larva' feed on locust eggs. For account
of their larval economy see my paper "On the larval Characters and Habits of the
Blister-beetles," etc.-, Trans. Ac. Sc. St. Louis III, p. 544 ft". : also Reports of the Com-
mission I, p. 292 ff. ; II, 262 ff. Remarks on synonymy are also there given, but the
following may be repeated.

LYTTA CINEREA Fabr. (Rep. I, p. 97) — This is now known as Ma-crobasis unicolor
(Kirby).
LYTTA MURIXA Lee. (Rep. I, p. 98) — This is a color variety of Ulacrobtisis tinicolor.

LYTTA MARGIXATA Fabr. (Rep. I, p. 98) — This is believed by Horn to be a color-va-
riety of Eplcauta cincrca (Forst. ).

LYTTA ATRATA Fabr. (Rep. I, p. 98) — This is the Epkauta p<-i>xylc<tnica (De Geer)
of Crotch's List.

AXTHOXOMUS PRUXICIDA, Walsh. (Rep. Ill, p. 39) — Upon this species, which is a
synonym of sciitellaris Lee., Dr. Lecoute has since founded the genus Cocvotonts (Proc.
Am. Philos. Soc. vol. XV, 1876, p. 193).

COXOTRACHELUS NENUPHAR, Hbst. (Rep. Ill, p. 127, note) — Thephytophagic variety
of this species from Walnut and Butternut has since been characterized by Dr. Lecoute
as a distinct species, C. juylandis (Proc. Am. Philos. Soc. vol. XV, p. 226).

CCELIODES IN^EQUALIS, Say (Rep. I, p. 128) — Dr. Leconte has since founded upon this
species the genus Craponius (Proc. Am. Philos. Soc. vol. XV, 1876, p. 268). The egg of
this snout-beetle is quite large, bright yellow in color and deposited in a cavity half
as large as the beetle, though the puncture leading to it is small. The lateral angu-
larities or tubercles of the joints, as described by Walsh, are quite characteristic, and
the dorsal view in my figure, given to show them, conveys a somewhat false impres-
sion of the larva, which is more or less curved, and has the general characteristics of
Curculionid larvte. The figure is rather more attenuated than it should be. That
the beetle hibernates I have since proved beyond question.

BARIDIUS TRIXOTATUS Say (Rep. I, p. 93) — Dr. Lecoute (Proc. Am. Philos. Soc. XV,
1876, p. 287) has since established for this and two allied species the genus Trichobaris.

SPHEXOPHORUS ZE.E Walsh (Rep. Ill, p. 59) — This has been previously described
by Mr. Uhler as S. scalplilis (Proc. Ac. Phil. VII, 1855, p. 416).

SPHEXOPHORUS PULCHELLUS Schoenherr (Rep. Ill, p. 60) — As intimated in the foot-
note on the same page, this species is synonymous with Say's S. IS-itunctalus, for which
species and for Sphenophorua pustulosiis Gyllh. Dr. Lecoute has established the genus
Ehodolxenus (Proc. Am. Philos. Soc. vol. XV, 1876, p. 332). I have reared both, and also
intermediate forms, from Heliauthus in Texas, and Ambrosia in Missouri.

SCOLYTUS CARY.E Riley (Rep. V, p. 107) — Dr. Lecoute (Proc. Am. Phil. Soc. XV, 1876,
p. 371) has since decided that 4-spinosus Say is the $ of this species, and Say's name

consequently obtains.

LEPIDOPTERA.

PAPILIO PHILEXOR Drury (Rep. II, p. 116) — Referred byScudder to Hiibner's genus
Laertias. For further notes and description of the egg and young larva, see Canadian
Entomologist, January, 1881, p. 9, and American Naturalist, April, 1881, p. 327.

DANAIS ARCini'prs, Fabr. (Rep. Ill, p. 143) — For further facts respecting the
swarming and migrations of this butterfly, see the American Entomologist (III, p 101),
and for a fuller and more accurate account of the mode of pupation, see iny paper oil

(Proc. Am. Ass. Adv. Sc. vol. XXVIII, 18SO).

^EGERIA ACERNI, Clem. (Rep. VI, p. 110)— Mr. D. S. Kellicott has an interesting
article in the Cttnn/lidii Entomologist for January, 1831, on the ^Egeriaus inhabiting the
vicinity of Buffalo, N. Y., in which he states that the chrysalis of this species in his
locality does not agree with my description as " unarmed," if that description refers
to the dorso-abdonimal teeth. A reexamination of my specimens shows that my state-
ment applies to the absence of these teeth. It is, however, possible that there is some
variation in this regard and that the eastern specimens from the Hard inaple differ
from the western ones from the Soft maple in having the teeth as indicated by Mr.
Kellicott.

ARCTIA ISABELLA, Smith (Rep. IV, p. 143)— Referred to Fyrrharctia Packard. For
further account of larval variation and parasites, see Amcririiii Entomologist, III, p. 134
(June, 1880).

HYPHANTRIA TEXTOR Harr. (Rep. Ill, 130)— There is no doubt in my mind, from
frequent breeding of specimens, that this is synonymous with cunea Drury and punc-
tattt Fitch, which are but varieties, Drury 's name having priority.

CALLIMORPHA FULVICOSTA, Clem. (Rep. Ill, 132)— Grote and Robinson give the
synonymy of this species in their "List of Lepidoptera of N. A.," etc., lecontei Boisd.
having priority. The late Jacob Bull bred all the forms from larva?, feeding on the
same species of plant,

SAMIA COLUMBIA Smith (Rep. IV, p. 107)— Mr. Herman Strecker has given a beau-
tiful figure of the male of this species in his "Lepidoptera Rhopaloceres and Hetero-
ceres, etc.," 1875 (PL XII, Fig. 3), and Mr. F. B. Caulfieldhas described and figured the
larva (Canadian Entomologist, X, p. 41, 1878) showing that it is structurally identical
with that of cecropia and differs only in the iuteuser green of the body, in the lateral
tubercles and bases of the others being white instead of pale blue and in the upper
thoracic tubercles being of a deeper coral-red. It accords more with the cecropia larva
in the fourth stage. It is placed as a good species in Grote's "List of N. A. Pla-
typterices," etc. (Am. Phil. Soc., 1874), but I am still of opinion that it should not be
considered a distinct species but simply a well-marked local color-variety worthy of
name. There is great variation in color, whether of the larva, cocoon or imago, in
oeorojpia.

CALLOSAMIA ANGULIFERA, Walker (Rep. IV, p. 122, note)— This is still considered
a good species by systematists. Mr. Juo. Akhurst, of Brooklyn, N. Y., informs me
that he finds it rather constant from larv;e which seem to differ in no respect from
those of promethea, but which feed on the Tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), and
make the cocoon near the ground without pedicel. I learn from Dr. Packard that Mr.
Uhler has bred both it and promelhia from the same lot of larvae.

CLISIOCAMPA SYLVATICA Harr. (Rep. Ill, 121)— This isuow referred to dissfmHiibn.,
which has priority.

AGROTIS INERMIS Harr. (Rep. I, p. 72) — This is now recognized to be identical with,
the European A. saiicia Treitschke.

NOCTUA CLANDESTINE Harr. (Rep. I, p 79) — An Agrotis.

AGROTIS TELIFERA Harr. (Rep. I, p. 80) — This is now recognized as the European
A. ypsilon Hiifu. =A. snffusa (S. V.) = ^i. ortonii Pack.

AGROTIS SUBGOTHICA Harr. (Rep. I, p. 81) — The moth represented under this name
at Fig. 29, a, has since been described by Grote as A. herilis, and that at Fig. 29, I),
has since been described by Lintuer as A. tricosa. (Notes on some N. Y. Noctuidaj,
Ent. Cout. Ill in Rep. N. Y. St. Mus. Nat. Hist., 1872, p. 159.)

56 INDEX TO MISSOUKI ENTOMOLOGICAL REPORTS.

AGROTIS JACULIFERA Guen. (Rep. I, p. 82) — This is the true subgothica of Haw-
(See Grote, List of Noctuida? of N. A., Bulletin Buffalo Soc. Nat. Sc. II, 1874, and Lint-
ner 1. c.)

AGROTIS DEVASTATOR, Brace (Rep. I, p. 83) — Grote refers it to Radena.

CEL^NA RENIGERA Stephens (Rep. I, p. 86) — Referred by Grote to Hadena. Speci-
mens in the Fitch collection marked with names (evidently from Walker) infecta, egens,
deftctua, siibcadem ? and murcimaculata seem to be all synonyms and mere variations.

PRODENIA AUTUMNALIS Riley (Rep. Ill, p. 116 and subsequently) — As stated in the
8th Report (p. 48) this in the more typical form is recognized as Laplujgma frugiperda,
Sm. & Abb. The variety obscura, as Prof. Zeller, who has seen it, informs me is so near
the European exlgua Hiibn. that it is not easily distinguished.

PRODEXIA COMMELINJE, Sm. & Abb. (Rep. I, p. 88, and III, p. 113)— Dr. Leon F.
Harvey (Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., vol. II, pp. 274, 275; 1875) has since proposed
specific names for two of the forms hitherto considered to be but varieties of comme-
1hi(p. The moth represented at Fig. 43, c, of the Third Report, is named by him
flavimedia, that at Fig. 48, 1), lineatella, the true commelina', being a larger species.
From larvse with the series of black triangles bordered exteriorly by a yellow line (such
as are represented on Plate I, Fig. 12 of Rep. I, and at Fig. 48 a of Rep. Ill) I
have bred the flavimedla. But larvre found on cotton in the Southern States, and differ-
ing in having black triangles on the second joint only, and also varying greatly in
coloration, have produced the same moth. Abbot's figure of the larva of commelince
shows the full series of black triangles, but without any yellow exterior line.

GORTYNA NITELA Guen. (Rep. I, p. 92) — I have proved by breeding that G. nebris
Gn. is but a large, southern form of this species. In the Southern States it is most
common in stems of Ambrosia trificla, often producing a swelling or pseudo-gall.
Both forms are indiscriminately bred with intermediate variations. See an article
"by Miss E. A. Smith (7th Report on the insects of Illinois, Cyrus Thomas, pp. 112-114)
for additional food-plants and the habit of the younger larvte to infest wheat-stalks,
corn, etc. See also Am. Ent.I, p. 252; my "Potato Pests" (Orange, Judd & Co., 1877,
p. 91) and Prairie Farmer, August 11,1877. The insect normally pupates in the stem
and when infesting thin stalks like those of most cereals and blue-grass (in which it
is also found) often of necessity leaves one stalk for another.

ANOMIS XYLINA, Say (Rep. II, p. 37; VI, 17)— This has since been referred by Grote
to Hiibuer's Aletia argillacea, which has been generally adopted. See Bulletin 3 of
the Commission on the Cotton Worm. While it will doubtless be found convenient in
future to separate it from the other species of the genus Anomis, and Hiibner's generic
name may therefore obtain, I must confess, after a careful examination of Hiibuer's
figure of argillacea, to grave doubts as to the correctness of Grote's reference thereto of
our Cotton-worm Moth (xi/lina, Say). Hiibner's figure lacks several of the most con-
stant characteristics of xylina. It is fulvo-testaceous shaded with brown, with the
under side bright yellow. It lacks the three white specks on primaries and has a dark
(orbicular?) spot in place of the outer one. It has a large white circular spot with black
annulus in place of the dusky elongate discal spot with its double pupil. The wavy
lines are almost black and differ in form ; the fringes are nnicolorous, and the abdomen
is narrower. The figure more nearly represents in fact a species which I have received
from Bahia, Brazil, and which differs from xylina, though the larva (also quite differ-
ent) feeds on cotton.

We are all inclined to follow determinations of those who make a specialty of any
group, but after due allowance for faulty coloring in Hiibuer's figure, I am constrained
to believe that in this instance Mr. Grote has been in fault.

CANKER-WORMS (Rep. VIII, p. 12)— For additional remarks as to the generic char-
acters of the two Canker-worms, see my paper "On the differences between Anisopteryx
pometaria Harr. and Anisopteryx (csculariaW. V., with remarks on the genus Paleacrita.*

NOTES AND ADDITIONS : LEPIDOPTERA. 57

GALLEREA CEREANA, L. (Rep. I, p. 166) — This is the mcllonella L. of the 10th edition
Syst. Nat une.

PEMPELIA GROSSULARI.E Packard (Rep. I, p. 140) — The European Zopliodia conrohi-
tella Hiibn. (Fhycis grossulariclla Treitschke), which has precisely similar habits,
closely resembles this species. In 1871 I compared it with this last iu Mr. Stainton's
collection and with specimens received from Prof. Zellerand could detect no essential
differences. The European specimens are slightly larger, with broader wings and
usually clearer, paler gray coloring. Coloratioual markings are, however, very vari-
able in specimens from both sides of the Atlantic.

P. grossiiJanai Packard was subsequently described by Grote as Dakruma iurbatella
(Bull. U. S. Geol.-Geog. Survey, IV, No. 3, p. 702 ; 1878). Dakruma seems to differ from
Zopliodia in nothing but the absence of the basal portion of the subcostal vein and
possibly, although this character is not mentioned by Grote, in the recurved palpi.
According to the synoptical table given by Heiueuiann, grossularkc would fall in the
genus Stenoptycha, distinguished from Zopliodia by the recurved palpi. We may well
question the generic value of this character, for different authors describe it quite
differently: thus, Heinemauu describes the palpi of Stenoptycha and Homeosoma as
recurved, Avhereas Grote describes them as porrect in these two genera, if we accept
his statement that Honora Grote is to be considered a section of Stenoptycha: there
appears also to be a difference iu position in specimens of the same species, according
as the palpi are heavily scaled or have lost the scales. From the known individual
variation in the venation of these and other moths, especially in the hind wings, we
cannot attach any specific, much less any generic, value to the slight difference in the
subcostal vein of Dakruma noted above. Moreover, authentic specimens of grossu-
larice do not appear to possess this character of Dakruma. I am, therefore, of opinion
that a study of sufficient material from both continents will prove the two specifically
identical, or at the most that our American insect is a variety, and that Dakruma will
not obtain. Packard is of this opinion, as in the later editions of his Guide the
species is called Hyelois convolutella.

PENTHIXA VITIVORANA Packard (Rep. I, p. 133) — This is identical with a European
insect having the same habits. It was first described over a century since by Schiffer-
miller & Denis as Tortrix tot ran a, and has been referred to various genera since, and
finally to Eudemis Hiibn., so that the insect should be known as Endemis bolrana
(Schiff.). Conchylis ambif/ucUa (Hiibn.) has very similar habits in Europe. See Nord-
linger's " Die Kleiueu Feinde der Landwirthschaft," p 424 if. It is the Lobesia botrana
of the later editions of Packard's Guide.

EURYPTYCHIA SALiGNEAXA Clem. (Rep. II, 134). — This according to Prof. Feruald,
who has seen the type, is the same as Clemeus's Hedya scudderiana (Proc. Acad. Sci..
Phila., 1860, p. 358), the description of which is very brief and presumably taken from,
a female. The genus Em-uptychia (Proc. Eut. Soc. Phila. V, 140) is founded on the
male, which has a broad fold extending to the middle of costa on the primaries and
covering up a pencil of yellowish hairs. Zeller subsequently redescribed it as Pwdisca
affusana (Beitriige, etc., pt. Ill, p. 101 [307]). From a comparison of female specimens
I am led to believe that this is the same species that is commonly known in Europe-
as Spilonota roborana Schiff., though in Staudiuger and Wocke's Catalogue cynosbana
Fabr., described in 1875, is given the priority and aquana Hiibn. is placed as a synonym.
The obliquity of the edge of the basal dark patch and the details of the ocellated
spot upon which species have been separated, I find to be variable.

The insect in Europe is known to feed on the leaf-buds of the rose. I have abun-
dant proof that in this country it is not a gall-maker, but, as was inferred in the
Report, an inquiliue. I have found its larva feeding upon the flowers as well as amid
the terminal leaves of the Golden-rod, and have also found it in other galls. When,
feeding in the more exposed positions it generally has a carneous or rosy tint.

ANCHYLOPERA FRAGARIJE W. & R. (Rep. 1, 142) — This has been referred to Plioxop-
teris comptana Frohl., and while the two very closely resemble each other Prof. Fernald
informs me that he yet believes fragarice to be distinct.

58 INDEX TO MISSOURI ENTOMOLOGICAL REPORTS.

(ETA COMPTA, Clem. (Rep. I, p. 151) — Notwithstanding Mr. Grrote doubts the identity

of this insect with Cramer's Phtilwna puncteUa, there is no question in my mind about it,
and I entirely agree with Zeller, who makes also the Tinea pustuleUa Fabr. a synonym
{Beitr. z. Kenntu. N. A. Nachfalter II. p. 23). It was first described in this country in
1856 by Fitch as Deiopeia aurea (3rd Rep. Ins. N. Y., p. 163.) See also " Zygasnidse and
Bombycidfs of N. A." by R. H. Stretch, 1372, pp. 159 and 241.

The egg of this insect is one of the most singular Lepidopterous eggs with which I
am familiar. I have found it numerously in the South in midsummer. It is 0.9ram
long, soft and plastic so as to be variable in form ; but when laid (as it often is) on the
web which the young larviB make, where it takes on the more natural form, it is ovoid,
somewhat compressed, with frequently a median ridge and oue end narrowed and pro-
duced into a short neck. The color is cream-yellow and the delicate shell is corrugu-
late. It is laid singly and generally slightly attached by the broad side to the side of
the mid-rib of the tenderest leaves, and its contact (by virtue, doubtless, of some
poisonous liquid with which it is laid) causes a well defined swelling of the leaf- vein.

The species is placed among the Zyywnidce in Grote and Robinson's List, and has
evidently more affinities therewith than with the Temidce.

PRONUBA YUCCASELLARiley (Rep. V, p. 150 and subsequently) — For further facts re-
garding this species, see my papers in Trans. St. Louis Ac. Sc. Ill, p. 568 ; American En-

ARMA SPIXOSA Dallas (Rep. II, p. 113 and subsequently) — Now referred to Stal's

EUSCHISTUS PUNCTIPES, Say (Rep. IV, p. 19 and subsequently.) — This is now known
.as Euschistns varlolarius Beauv., this last having priority over Say's name.

COREUS TRISTIS, De Geer (Rep. I, p. 113 and subsequently) — Belongs to Arnyot &
Serville's genus Anasa.

MICROPUS LEUCOPTERUS, Say (Rep. II, p. 15 and subsequently) — Now referred to
Burnieister's genus BUsstis.

ANTHOCORIS INSIDIOSUS, Say (Rep. II, p. 27 and subsequently) — Belongs to Fieber's

REDUVIUS RAPTATORIUS Say (Rep. I, p. 114) — Belongs to Sinea, Arnyot & Serv., and
is synonymous with diadema Fabr.

HARPACTOR CINCTUS Fabr. (Rep. I, p. 114 and subsequently) — Belongs to Stal's

genus Milyas.

HOMOPTERA.

CICADA SEPTEMDECIM (Rep. I, p. 18) — This orthography, used in the Reports, is
grammatically correct, but I find that Linnaeus himself wrote septendecim (Systema
Naturae, Tom I, Pars II, 12th Ed. Stockholm 1767). Fitch used both forms of spelling,
but West-wood, Harris and most other authors follow Linnreus, and septendecim is,
therefore, preferable. As to whether the 17 and 13-year broods should be considered
specifically distinct, I am still of the opinion expressed in the First Report that the
insects should not be looked upon as distinct species, but that tredecim Riley should
rather be considered a race, or as Walsh (in a letter to Charles Darwin, which has kindly
been shown me by Mr. G. H. Darwin) puts it, an incipient species, to which, for conve-
nience, it is desirable to give a distinctive name. That it may be looked upon as a
good species by excellent authority, will be seen by Walsh's discussion of the subject
(American Entomologist II, p. 335) which I here quote:

What candid entomologist, who has worked much upon any particular order, will
not allow that there are certain genera where it is often or almost or quite impossible

NOTES AND ADDITIONS : HOMOPTERA. 59

to distinguish species by the mere comparison of cabinet specimens of the imago?
Ltew and Usten Sacken have said this of the genus (_', ridotni/in in Diptera : Osten
Sacken of t\vo other Dipterous genera, Sciara and re>-(itoj><xjt>ii : Norton of Tin- genus
Nematiis in Hynienoptera ; and Dr. Le Conte lately assured me that, although when
he was a young man he thought himself able to discriminate, in the closet, between
the different species of Brachinus in Coleoptera, he now considered it quite impracti-
cable to do so with any degree of certainty. And yet who doubts the fact of the
existence, in North America, of very numerous distinct species of Cecidomyia, of Xnara,
of Ceratopogon, of Xcmatus, and of Bnu-lilnus.

Upon the same principle I strongly incline to believe that the 17-year form of the
Periodical Cicada (C. septemdccim, Linn.) is a distinct species from the 13-year form
(C. tredfeim,It\}vy) although it has been impossible for me, on the closest examina-
tion of very numerous specimens, to detect any speeilic difference between these two
forms.* It is very true that the 13-year form is confined to the more southerly regions
of the United States, while the 17-year form is generally, but not universally, peculiar
to the Northern States; whence it has been, with some show of plausibility, inferred
that the 13-year form is nothing but the 17-year form, accelerated in its metamorphosis
by the influence of a hot southern climate. But as these two forms interlock and
overlap each other in various localities, and as it frequently happens that particular
broods of the two forms corne out in the same year, we should certainly expect that,
if the two forms belonged to the same species, they would occasionally intercross,
whence would arise an intermediate variety hating a periodic time of 14, 15 or 16
years. As this does not appear to have taken place, but, on the contrary, there is a
pretty sharp dividing line between the habits of the two forms, without any inter-
mediate grades of any consequence, I infer that the internal organization of the two
forms must be distinct, although externally, when placed side by side, they are exactly
alike. Otherwise, what possible reason could there be for one and the same species
to lie underground in the larva state for nearly 17 years in one county, and in the
next adjoining county to lie underground in the larva state for scarcely 13 years .'
I presume that even 'the most bigoted believer in the old theory of species would
allow that, if it can once be proved to his satisfaction that two apparently identical
forms are always structurally distinct, whether in their external or in their internal
organization, they must necessarily be distinct species.

On the other hand, I firmly believe that many perfectly distinct forms, which at
one time passed current, or which even now pass current, as true species, are in reality
mere dimorphous forms of one and the same species. We find a good example of this
in the dimorphous 9 Ci/nips, q. aciculata, O. S., which has already been treated of at
great length. We find another good example of the same thing in Cicada Cassinii $ 9 ,
Fisher, which is sufficiently distinct from the Periodical Cicada to have been classified
as a distinct species, and yet never occurs except in the same year and in the same
locality as this last, and what is more extraordinary still, is found not only along with
the 17 -year form (C. septemderim), but also along with the 13-year form (C. tredecim).

Now,' if CavHhtii were a distinct species, and not, as I believe it to be, a mere dimor-
phous form of C. septemdtcim and C. tredecim, the chances are more than a million
millions to one against its always coinciding with the two other forms, not only as to
the particular locality but as to the particular year of its appearance.

1 do not know that any one has heretofore attempted to set at rest, by actual proof,
the very general skepticism as to this insect remaining so long undergrouud, on the
part of those persons who have given little attention to the subject. I have been able
to trace the development from year to year of my tredecim brood XVIII in the vicinity
of Saint Louis by digging up the larva? each year from 1868 to 1876, and noting the
annual growth. They could always be found within from two to five feet of the sur-
face upon the roots of trees, and had by the 8th year attained the first pupa stage,
and I have no doubt but that, at this writing, the true pupae are nearing the surface of
the ground to appear in myriads in the perfect state in May and June of this year.

The fungus affecting this Cicada has since been described by Mr. C. H. Peck as Masso-
spora cicadina (31st Rep. N. Y. State Mus. Nat. Hist., pp. 44, 1879).

ERIOSOMA PYRI, Fitch (Rep. I, p. 118) — After comparing specimens in Europe with
our American insect, I have no doubt of the specific identity of the two, or of the
root-inhabiting and twig-inhabiting forms. The insect should be known, therefore,
as Schizoneura latiiyera (Hausin.). See niy remarks in American Entomologist, II, 359 ;

* For an excellent statement of the facts bearing upon this curious question, see a paper by Mr.
Riley, the State Entomologist of Missouri, in Xo. 4 of the American Entomologist, and a still more
complete one in his First Annual Report.

Rep. 3, p 95, and "Notes on Aphididse of the U. S. " (Hayden's Bull. U. S. Geol. &
Geogr. Surv. of Terr., Vol. V, p. 3).

ASPIDIOTUS HARRISII Walsh (Rep. I, p. 7) — This belongs to Costa's genus Di-
anpls, and is apparently the species named ostreccfonnis by Curtis (Gardener's Chron-
icle, 1843, p. 805).

DIPTERA.

TRUPANEA APIVORA Fitch (Rep. I, p. 163; II, 122) — This has been renamed Pro-
ni'iehns Fitchil by Osten Sackeu (Cat. of the described Diptera of N. A. 2nd Ed., 1878,
p. 234), the species proving different from Sastardu Lrew, and Fitch's name being pre-
occupied.

BEE-FLY LARVA (Rep. IX, p. 98) — The undetermined larva here illustrated (Fig.
24) has^ since proved to be that of a Systocchus, a genus of Bombyliid flies. For further
details and determinations see the Second Report of the Commission (pp. 282-9).

SARCOPHAGA. CARNARIA, L. (Rep. IX, p. 95) — The variety sarraceniw of this species
there mentioned is now considered a good species, for reasons stated in Bulletin 3 of
the Commission (pp. 39, 40, note).

EXORISTA LEUCAXE.E, Kirkpatrick (Rep. II, p. 50 and subsequently) — Referred to
the genus Nemorwa Desv. by Osteu Sackeu (Catalogue, etc., 1878, p. 150). The variety
cecropia of this (Rep. IV, p. 103) is quoted by him as a distinct species under Exorista,
probably a mistake caused by my employing the wrong figure in the American Ento-
mologist, Vol. II, p. 101, where that of E. flavicauda is used for leucanice.

LYDELLA DORYPHOR.E Riley (Rep. I, p. Ill) — Now included in the genus Ejcorista.

ORTHOPTERA.

(ECANTHUS NIVEUS, De Geer (Rep. I, p. 138, audV, p. 120) — This species is common in
all parts of the country, and I have proved, by breeding, that its eggs are those de-
scribed and figured as such in the 5th Report. I agree with Scudder in considering
fasciatns De Geer but a dark and rather well marked variety of it. Its chirp is inter-
mittent, resembling a shrill te-reat te-reat te-reat with a slight pause between each. The
eggs and punctures figured on page 119 of the 5th Report (Fig. 47) as probably those of
Orocharis saltator are, as I have since proved by breeding and by watching the process
of oviposition, those of a large species of (Ecantlrus, hitherto, I believe, very generally
confounded with niveus, and which is described below as (E. latipennis N. Sp. While
nivens punctures all kinds of soft stems and pithy twigs, latipennis seems to prefer the
more slender parts of the Grape-vine. The female, when she has sufficiently proceeded
in the act of ovipositing, is so intent that she can very well be watched at night by
the aid of a "bull's-eye."

The jaws are first used to slightly tear the outer bark. With the antennte stretched
straight forward and the abdomen beut up so as to bring the ovipositor at right angles
with the cane, she then commences drilling, working the abdomen convulsively
up and down about twice each second. The eggs, as described iu the Report, are laid
lengthwise in the pith, but always in two sets, one each side of the hole. The number
varies according to the size of the cane, and the distance between the holes is also
Tariable but usually less than in my figure. The hole is usually filled up with a white
mucous secretion, though there is very little of it about the eggs. This secretion
also doubtless serves to facilitate the drilling. The same female will lay over 200 eggs,
and will sometimes puncture the same cane at intervals of £ inch for 14 feet or more.

The shrill of latipennis is continuous and recalls the trilling of a high-pitched dog-
whistle in the distance. The key varies, however, and is sometimes much less high
and more musical than at others. The commingled shrill of this species recalls also
the distant croaking of frogs in spring. The broad wings are thoroughly elevated
during the act or even bent forward, and the vibration is so rapid that there appears-

to be no motion. The species, in addition to these differences in stridulation and habits,
may be distinguished, from nieens by the following characters:

(EcANTHUS LATIPEXNIS N. Sp. — White, the elytra of the 9 sometimes grayish and
the posterior femora in one specimen discolored. Antenna; immaculate, with the basal
joints and the front of head usually roseate. Tip of ovipositor black. Prouotnm as in
niveus. Hind wings 9 as long at the elytra or sometimes a trifle longer ; of $ some-
what shorter than elytra. Elytra of 9 irregularly reticulate between the parallel
oblique veins, especially toward the base. Elytra of $ when unfolded f as wide as
long, the dorsal surface 14mm to 16.5"im long by 7mm to8mm wide ; the rasp 1.5mm long
and the teeth distinctly seen with a lens of low power. Ovipositor 6mm long ; sub-
genital plate broadly excavated. Cfaspers of $ with their tips broad, but slightly
broader at base than at tip, not deeply separated.

Described from 15 $ 9 specimens from Missouri, 1 $ from Alabama, and 1 $ from
•South Texas.

The form of the subgenital plate, the immaculate antenna? with their roseate base, and
the larger size serve to distinguish the species as well in the pupa as in the imago state.

(E. latipennis is a larger insect than nii'cus usually is. The ovipositor measures 6mm
in length, whereas in niveits it rarely exceeds 5mm and in only one specimen, a san-
guineous variety captured July 10, 1874, does it equal 6mm. The male elytra of niceus
in only one specimen, captured September 19, 1877, reach 13mm in length by 6nim in,
width on the upper face, and the size is generally much less. In niveus the unfolded
male elytra are less than f, and usually only £, as wide as long, and the rasp is only
lmm long, and the teeth are not so easily seen. The elytra of niveus female sometimes
show an irregularity in the reticulation between the parallel oblique veins but never
so great an irregularity as in latipennis, there being fewer cells. In only one specimen
of latipennis, a male taken on cotton at Columbus, Tex., are there any black marks on
the lower surface of the basal joints of the antenna?, representing the lines or dots which
are always present in nireus. But the two species are most sharply separated by the
form of the subgenital plate of the female, which in niveus narrows rapidly towards the
tip which has a minute angular notch, and by the form of the male claspers, which in
niveus have their tips very slender and parallel, being deeply parted, and then retreat-
ing rapidly from one another on each side.

Besides niveus there are recognized from North America three other species of (Ecan-
thus, one of which, californica Sauss.,* recorded only from California, is described
as having the posterior wings abortive, t The other two species, nigrieornis Walk,
from Illinois (description quoted in the American Entomologist, Vol. II, p. 207; 1870)
and varicornis Walk, from Mexico, both described only in the female sex and dif-
fering from niveus in nothing but the slightly longer hind wings and the slightly
greater size of the insect, and in varicorn /shaving a slightly longer prothorax, have been
retained as distinct species by Saussure. But niveus, as may be seen in a series of
specimens, varies in these characters indefinitely, just as other species of crickets are
admitted to vary; so we may consider Walker's species to be but varieties of niveus.
They cannot be referred to latipennis, for in this species the wings rarely, and then but
slightly, exceed the elytra.

One other North American species, bipunctatus DeG., has been referred to (Ecanthus.
It belongs; however, to the genus Xabea, and should be known as Xabea bipunctata (DeG. ).

As the female of Xtibea\ has not hitherto been described and Saussure did not recognize
the genus as distinct from (Ecanthus, it may be well to give here the characters drawn
from both sexes to show how very clearly the two genera differ. The type of the ge-
nus is from Sumatra, and Walker, being unacquainted with our species, an Saussure, d
having only imperfect specimens, both failed to recognize the existence of the genus
in North America.

tBy "abortive" is evidently meant, from the description following the diagnosis, simply shorter
than abdomen. In this respect and in the male (which alone is described) being shorter than niveus,
<oalifornievs. which I know only from the description, may most easily be distinguished.

62 IXDEX TO MISSOURI ENTOMOLOGICAL REPORTS.

XABEA Walk. — First joint of antenna; armed with a stout, blunt tooth in front. Fe-
male elytra irregularly reticulated, the oblique longitudinal veins not being conspicuous .
male elytra with the rnediastinal vein strongly arcuated ; no humeral angle. Wings
twice as long as the elytra. Cerci only halt as long as the abdomen, sinuous. Outer
valves of the ovipositor ending in a single outwardly directed tooth which is preceded
on the outside by a longitudinal series of three teeth ; the inner valves compressed,
ending in three teeth of which the middle one is much the longest. Posterior tibia*
with neither spurs nor serrations and having only 4 apical spurs, 2 within and 2 with-
out ; the first joint of posterior tarsi unarmed, the tarsi clearly but 3-joiuted, the sec-
ond joint short as in the other legs ; tarsal claws with the inner tooth acute.

OROCHARIS SALTATOK Uhler (Rep. V, p. 119). — The eggs figured and described on
page 11'* as probably those of this insect are, as above stated, those of (Evrinthits
latipennis. I have, however, frequently obtained the eggs of the Orocharis since. In
December, 1S77, I watched a female ovipositing in the end of a dead and rather soft
twig of the Soft-maple at Kirkwood, Mo. The twig had been pruned and the bark
•was somewhat gnawed by the cricket and the eggs thrust in irregularly from the end
and from the sides. Both wood and pith were crammed with eggs, but all longitudi-
nally inserted. The favorite nidus of the species is, however, the soft and somewhat
corky, rough bark of the trunk and older branches of the American elm, the eggs
being thrust in singly or in small batches, either longitudinally with, or very slightly
obliquing from, the axis of trunk or branch. The female is very intent in the act,
working her abdomen deliberately from side to side during the perforation. The
ovipositor is held more obliquely than in (Ecantlms.

The egg is amber-colored and very slender and elongate, the tip rather pointed and
very faintly opaque with the surface but slightly granulate. It has scarcely any
curve and varies from 3.5mm to 4mm in length and from 0.4mm to 0.5mm in diameter at
middle.

The slridulatiou of this cricket is a rather soft and musical piping of not quite half
a second's duration, with from 4 to 6 trills, but so rapid that they are lost in the dis-
tance. The key is very high, but varies in different individuals and according to
moisture and temperature. It most resembles the vibrating touch of the finger on
the rim of an ordinary tumbler when three-fourths filled with water — repeated at
intervals of from 2 to 4 per second, and it may be very well likened to the piping of a
young chick and of soms tree frogs. As the species is very common in the Southwest
its chirp is everywhere heard and is so distinctive that when once studied it is never
lost amid the louder racket of the katydids and other night choristers. It is fre-
quently heard during the day time in cloudy or damp weather, and I have heard it at
Saint Louis the first days of November after a slight frost. The elytra in stridulatiug
are raised less than in (Ecanthus and are depressed at intervals.

The courting of the sexes is amusing. They face each other and play with their
antenme for the best part of an hour or more than an hour. The female is, other-
wise, pretty quiet, but the male continually months the twig or the bark upon which
the courting is being done, and plays his palpi at a great rate, very stealthily ap-
proaching nearer to his mate meanwhile. At last the autenual fencing ceases and
those of the female bend back and then the male approaches until their heads touch.
He then deliberately turns round, elevates the elytra and slips his abdomen under
the female, who virtually mounts and assists him, his elytra overshadowing her head.

The eggs of this insect, as als6 those of (Ecanlhits latipennis, are devoured by a para-
sitic larva of similar form and size, and which I have not yet reared to the perfect
state.

ORCHELIMU.M GLABERIMUM, Burm. (Rep. V, p. 123) — The egg-punctures illustrated
at Fig. 56 are, as there correctly supposed, those of this species, as I have since proved
by watching the act of oviposition and by rearing from the eggs. The insect is very
fond of using the tops of corn-stalks for the same purpose.

DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES AND VARIETIES.

Some systematists have questioned whether descriptions of species
in Agricultural Eeports should be recognized. While iny own views on
this subject are pretty freely expressed on page 56 of iny Third Missouri
Eeport and elsewhere, the publication of this Bulletin affords a good
opportunity to bring the descriptions that are scattered through the
nine volumes together, with such notes on synonymy as present knowl-
edge suggests, and such corrections as are given in the Errata. In the
earlier reports the measurements were expressed in inches and hun-
dredths of an inch, while in the later volumes the metric system was
adopted as most convenient and accurate, and the measurements which
follow have all been reduced to this standard. All changes of this
character or other changes from the original are included in brackets,
while the additional notes are in Long Primer type.

middle ; all densely marked with very fine longitudinally impressed lines, and sparsely
pubescent; (Dr. Fitch in his description published in the Country Gentleman, under
date of September, 1859, states that these lines leave " a smooth stripe along the middle
of its second segment and a large smooth space on the base of the third ; " which is
true of a few specimens, but not of the majority, in which the impressed lines gener-
ally cover the whole abdomen.) Ovipositor longer than abdomen, but when stretched
in a line with it, projecting backwards about the same length beyond ; rufous, with
the sheaths black. Legs pale rufous, with the upper part of hind tibia? and tarsi, and
sometimes the hind femora, dusky. Wings subhyaliue and iridescent, the veins pale
rufous, and the stigma black. Length 9 , 0.15-0. 16 inch [=3.7-4mm], expanse 0.30 [ =
7.5 mm] ; $ differs only in his somewhat smaller size and in lacking the ovipositor.
In many specimens the mesothorax and the eyes are more or less distinctly rufous.

Described from 50 9 9 , 10 $ $ , bred June 23d-July 29th, 1870, from larva of Conotra-
ckelus- nenuphar, and 299 obtained from Dr. Fitch.

Larva (Fig. 8, «) — White, with translucent yellowish mottliugs.

Pupa (Fig. 8, c 9) — 0.17 inch [ = 4Jmm] long; whitish, the members all distinct,
the anteunfe touching hind tarsi, the ovipositor curved round behind, reaching and
touching with its tip the third abdominal joint, which afterwards forms the apical joint
of imago; five ventral joints, which in the imago become much absorbed and hidden,
being strongly developed.

Cocoon (Fig. c, l>) — Composed of one layer of closely woven yellowish silk.

VARIETY RUFUS — Head, thorax, and most of the first abdominal joint entirely
ufous, with the middle and hind tibia? dusky, and the ovipositor three times as long
as abdomen and projecting more than twice the length of the same beyond its tip.

Described from three 9 9 bred promiscuously with the others. This variety is
slightly larger and differs so remarkably from the normal form that, were it not for
the absolute correspondence in all the sculpturing of the thorax and body, and in the
venation of the wings, it might be considered distinct. The greater length of the
ovipositor is very characteristic, and accompanies the other variation in all three of
the specimens. — [Third Rept., p. 27. Fig. 7.

EURYTOMA BOLTERI, N. Sp.— 9 Length 0.18 inch [=4. 5 mm]. Antennae black, not
much longer than the face, perceptibly thicker towards the end, and apparently 10-
jointed, though the three terminal joints are almost always confluent. Dimensions and
appearance of joints, represented in the annexed Figure 97, a. Head and thorax rough-
punctured and finely bearded with short, stiff gray hairs. Abdomen about as long as
thorax, scarcely so broad, viewed from above, but wider viewed laterally ; highly
polished, smooth and black, the three terminal segments with minute stiff gray hairs
along the sutures ; visibly divided into seven segments, the four anterior ones of about
equal length, the two following shorter, and the terminal one produced into a point.
Legs fulvous with the coxa3, [trochanters], thighs and more or less of the shanks black-
ish-brown. Wings perfectly transparent, glossy, colorless, and with the nerves very
faint.

$ Measures but 0.14 inch [= 3.5mm], and differs in the antenna?, being twice as long
as the face, in their narrowing towards the tip and in being furnished with whorls of
long hairs. The number of joints are not readily made out, and I have consequently
presented at Figure 97, &, a magnified figure. His body is but half as wide and half as
long as the thorax viewed from above, and not quite as broad as the thorax, viewed
laterally ; it it also lacks the produced point of the $ . His wings are also cut off more
squarely and more distinctly nerved. — [First Kept., p. 187. PI. II, Fig. 9.

Eurytomides (Am. Ent. II, p. 293-9), where the insect is looked upon as

from that genus and from nil other Chalcididau genera with which I am acquainted,
iu the antenna- being hut 5-jointed (scape, plus 4 joints), the scape stout and as long,
or longer, than joints 2, 3, and 4 together; joints 3 and 4 small and together as long
as joint 2 ; 5 very stout, fusiform, and as long as 2, 3, and 4 together. The legs have
the trochanters stout and long, the tibia- not quite so long nor so stout as the femora,
and with a long tooth ; the tarsi are 3-joiuted, with the joints of equal length and with
the claws and pulvilli sub-obsolete. The abdomen is apparently 6-joiuted, the basal
joint wide, the 2nd narrower, 2-5 increasing in width till 5 is as wide as 1. The ovip-
o-iror of 9 extends a little beyond the apex, aud starts from the anterior edge of the
5th joint.— [Third Rept., p. 158. Fig. 72.

The species was provisionally referred to Trichogramma, aiid I subse-
quently proposed for it the generic name Pentarthron (Record of Am.
Ent. 1871, p. 8). Pentharthrum has, however, been used by Wollastou
in beetles, and until allied genera are better characterized than at pres-
ent, the old generic name may be retained.

COLEOPTERA.

BRUCHUS FAB/E N. Sp. (Fig. 19,) — General color tawny-gray with more or less dull
yellowish. Body black tinged with brown and with dull yellowish pubescence, the
pygidium and sides of abdomen almost always brownish. Head dull yellowish -gray
with the jaws dark brown and palpi black ; autenme not deeply serrate in 9 , more so
in $ ; dark brown or black with usually 5, sometimes only 4, sometimes 4 aud part of
5 basal joints, and with the terminal joint, more or less distinctly rufous, or testaceous,
the color being so slight iu some specimens as scarcely to contrast at all with the
darker joints. Thorax narrowed before, immaculate, but with the pubescence almost
always exhibiting a single pale medio-dorsal line, sometimes three dorsal lines, more
rarely a transverse line in addition, and still more rarely (two specimens) forming a
large dark, almost black patch each*side, leaving a median stripe and the extreme
borders pale and thus approaching closely to erythrocerus Dej. ; base with the edges
almost angulated; central lobe almost truncate and with a short longitudinal deeply
impressed median line ; no lateral notch ; scutel coucolorous and quadrate with the
hind legs more or lest notched. Elytra with the interstitial lines having a slight ap-
pearance of alternating transversely with dull yellowish and dusky; so slight how-
ever that in most of the specimens it can hardly be traced : the dark shadiugs form a
spot on each shoulder and three transverse bauds tolerably distinct in some, almost
obsolete in others, the intermediate row being the most persistent and conspicuous :
between these dark transverse rows the interstices are alternately more or less pale,
especially on the middle of the 3rd interstitial lines. Legs covered with grayish pubes-
cence, and with the tibi;e and tarsi, especially of first and second pair, reddish-brown ;
the hind thighs usually somewhat darker, becoming black below and inside, and with
a tolerably long black spine followed by two very minute ones. Length 0.09 — 0.14
inch[ = 2£ — 3.5mm]. Described from 40 specimens all bred from different kinds of
beans. Hundreds of others examined.

This insect has been for several years ticketed in some of the Eastern collections by
the name of B. fabce, or else, what is worse, the corruption of it, fabi. The former
iiame has been disseminated by my friend F. G. Sauboru of Boston, Massachusetts, who
eays that he received the weevil thus named, together with beans attacked by it, in the
year 1832 from Rhode Island. The name was credited to Fabricius, but I can find no
notice in any of the works I possess of any European Bruchus fabce, and several of my
Eastern correspondents who have access to large libraries have been unable to find
any description or allusion to a species by that name. Dr. LeConte has given it the
MS name ofvaricornis but as his description will not appear perhaps for years to come
and as no comprehensive description has yet been published, I have deemed it advis-

able to dispel in a measure the confusion that surrounds the nomenclature of the spe-
cies. There is need of a description of so injurious an insect, and as faba> is not pre-
occupied I adopt the name because it is entirely appropriate and because it is more
easily rendered into terse popular language than varicornis.

It resembles most closely of any other species which I have seen, the B. erythrocerus,
Dej., which, however, is smaller, and differs in having a narrower thorax which has
light sides and a dark, broad dorsal stripe divided down the middle by a pale narrow
line : eryllirocerus is further distinguished by the antennae being entirely testaceous
and the hind thighs more swollen.

From obsohtus Say, fabce differs materially : obsoletu^is a smaller species, dark gray,
with the antennae all dark, the pygidium not rufous, the thorax with a perceptibly
darker dorsal shade so that the sides appear more cinereous, a white scutel, and each
interstitial line of the elytra with a slight appearance of alternating whitish and
dusky along its whole length ; for though there is nothing in Say's language to indi-
cate whether it is the interstitial lines that alternate transversely, whitish and dusky,
or each line that so alternates longitudinally, I find from an examination of a speci-
men in the Walsh collection, that the latter is the case, and so much so that the insect
almost appears speckled. The two species differ both in size and color, though, as
Say's description is short and imperfect it is not surprising that fabce should have been
referred to it.

From the European bean-feeding Br. flavimanus (which is apparently either a cleri-
cal error for, or a synonym of Br. rufimamis, Schcenh.) as described by Curtis, it differs
notably ; as it does likewise from their Br. serratus, 111., which also attacks beans.

Dr. LeConte, according to Mr. Rathvon, was inclined to consider this insect the
obsoletus of Say, from the fact that in specimens which the latter gentleman sent him,
the antenna? were not varied as in his MS. varicornis, but uniformly black. A few
specimens which Mr. Rathvon sent me nearly two years ago, taken from the same lot
as were those which he forwarded to Dr. LeConte, were singularly enough, all decap-
itated but two ; and these two showed the varied antenna?. These specimens had all
been kept in alcohol, and I am greatly inclined to believe that the uniformly dark
appearance of the antenna? that was noticed by LeConte was the effect of the alcohol
on those which naturally had the rufous joints but faintly indicated. At all events,
though Mr. Rathvon tells me that he found a small proportion of beetles with dark
antenna?, after examining, at my suggestion, over two hundred specimens that had
thus been kept in alcohol ; yet from over one hundred specimens Avhich he had the
kindness to send me, I only find (after thoroughly drying them) three with the ter-
minal joint really as dark as the subterminal, and not a single one in which the rufous
basal joints cannot be more or less distinctly traced. — [Third Rept., p. 5«r>-56. Fig. 19.
Since the above was written, Dr. Horn has given us a revision of the
Bruchidce of the United States (Trans. Ain, But, Soc., Vol. IV, 1873), in
which he makes fabce a synonym of obsoletm Say, expresses regret that
another synonym must be added and states that the obsolctus which I
referred to is the tramversus Say (=hibisci Oliv.). This criticism is not
deserved, and while the decision of one who has done such excellent work
in Coleoptera as Dr. Horn has will be generally accepted as final, yet no
one can compare his redescriptiou of obsoktiis with Say's description and
not feel that the two apply to different insects. Fabce is usually one-third
larger, tawny-gray above with vari-colored antennae, concolorous scutel,
emargiuate behind, and rufous legs and abdomen; obsoletus, ou the con-
trary, according to Say, is blackish-cinereous, the thorax cinereous each
side, with a whitish scutel and with the abdomen and legs not differing in
color from the rest of the body. Fa bee breeds in beans ; obsoktus in the seeds

of Astr<i>t<(lH*. ludeed one would be far more justified in considering B.
alboscuteUatus Horn a synonym of obsolete Say than in considering/a&te
a synonym of it, and when the Bruchus from Astragalus in the Eastern
States is bred, I fully expect Dr. Horn to change his mind. Xor is the
assumption justifiable that the obsoletits referred to by me, and destroyed
in the Walsh collection, is hibisci Oliv. It was far more like albo-
scuteUatus as far as I remember, and there is not a character about this
species which does not accord with Say's description of obsoletus except
that the scutel is described as rounded, while that of obsoletus is de-
scribed by Say as quadrate. I am of opinion that too much stress has
been laid on this difference by Dr. Horn, as, when the pubescence is
separated behind, the scutel appears quadrate, whereas in fabce it ap-
pears bifid. The scutel of alboscutellatus when denuded is quadrate,
but it is doubtless the clothed appearance which Say described. Say,
as appears from his text, had abundant material, and it is assuming too
much to suppose that he could overlook the striking differences in size
and coloration of fabte, as above indicated.
The specific name fabce was used by Brulle for Bruchus pisorum Linn.

with about 9 deeply-punctured striae, the striie themselves sometimes obsolete ; more or
less covered with coarse and short pale yellow hairs which form by their greater density,
three more or less conspicuous transverse bands, the first of which is at base : between
the second and third band, in the middle of the elytron, is a smooth dark-brown or
black spot, with a less distinct spot of the same color below the third, and a still less

Moth. — 9, front wings, white, linely powdered with dark atoms which give them a
very pale gray appearance ; marked with black spots as follows : a complete series of
small spots on posterior border extending on the fringes, one between each nerve ;
near the anal angle between nerves 1 and '2 a large and conspicuous spot bearing a
partial resemblance to a Greek p*\, placed side-wise, and from this spot a somewhat
zigzag line running parallel with posterior border, but somewhat more arcuated
towards costa, least distinct between nerves 3 and 4, and forming a large distinct
dart-like spot between nerves r> and 0; space between this line and posterior border,
slightly darker than the rest of the wing-surface on account of the dark atoms being
more thickly sprinkled over it ; four costal marks, one subobsolete in a transverse line
with the reniform spot, one conspicuous about the middle, and in a line with reniform
spot and anal angle, one about the same size as the last and looking like a blurred X
about one- third the length of wing from base, and one subobsolete, near the base;
orbicular spot flattened and well defined by a black auuulation ; reniform spot indi-
cated by a blurred black mnrk running on the cross-vein and sometimes somewhat
crescent-formed; a V-shaped spot pointing towards base half-way between costa and
interior margin, in a transverse line with the large costal spot which looks like a
blurred X ; a blurred mark in middle at base, and lastly a narrow spot on the inferior
margin, half-way between base and anal angle. Hind wings same color as front
wings ; somewhat more glossy, with the luunle, a baud on posterior border one-fourth
the width of wing, and sometimes a narrow coincident inner line, somewhat darker
than the rest ; the posterior border also with a series of spots one between each nerve.
Under surface of front wings pearly-white with an arcuated brown baud, most dis-
tinct towards costa, across the posterior one-third, all inside of this baud of a faint
yellowish-brown; luuule and fringe spots distinct, and with a faint trace of the pzi-
spot ; hind wings uniform pearly-white with a distinct and well defined dark wavy
line running parallel with posterior margin across the posterior one-third of wing, and
with the lunule and fringe spots distinct. Anteuu.-e simple and bristle-formed, gray
above, brown beneath. Head thorax and body, both above and below, silvery-gray.
Legs with the tarsi alternately dusky and gray. <? differs from 2 by his somewhat
stouter antenna? ; much narrower body, and narrower wings and fringes, the front
wings having the apes more acuminate, and the hind wings scarcely showing the
darker hind border.

Described from 29,2^ all bred. In the ornamentation of the front wings this
species bears some resemblance to the European species triden* and pxi, but otherwise
differs remarkably, and especially in its larval characters. It bears a still closer re-
semblance both in the larva and imago state to the pale variety of a common species
• known in England as the •' Miller" (A. Jeporina), but judging from the figures and
description in " Newman's Natural History of British Moths," it may be easily distin-
guished from Jeporina by the well defined orbicular spot, by the greater proximity of
the two large costal spots, by lacking a round spot behind the disk, and by the more
prolonged apex. It differs also in the larva state from Jeporina which feeds on the
Birch. It likewise closely resembles interrupta, though the larvie are remarkably dif-
ferent; and it also resembles lepusculina, the larva of which is unknown; but the
specific differences will be readily perceived upon comparing Guenee's descriptions.
How near it approaches to Acromjcta oi.-cidentaUs, Grote, it is impossible to tall, as the
author's description is exceedingly brief, considering the number of closely allied
forms; but as that species has a bright testaceous tinge on the reniform spot, it evi-
dently differs from mine. Harris's ApatcJa [Acronycta] Americana, though very differ-

ent in the iinago, yet closely resembles populi in the larva state. I have on two occa-
sions found the larva of Americana feeding on the Soft Maple, and it may be distin-
guished from popidi, by its greater size; by the paler color of the body; by the hairs
being paler, more numerous, shorter and pointing in all directions, especially ante-
riorly and posteriorly of each segment ; by having on each of joints 4 and 6 two dis-
tinct long black pencils, one originating each side of dorsum, and on joints 11 one
thicker one originating from the top of dorsuin ; by a substigmatal row of small black
spots (three to each segment, the middle one lower than the others) and'by a trape-
zoidal velvety black patch starting from anterior portion of joint 11 and widening to
anus.— [Second Kept., pp. 120,121. Figs. 87,88.

Grote refers it, in his List, to lepusculina Gn. ; having, I believe, seen
the type. Guenee must have had a uniformly colored and pale speci-

subterminal markings and the terminal space contrasting by its darker
gray with the rest of primaries — all unmentioned in Guenee's descrip-
tion.

XYLIXA CIXEUEA, N. Sp. — Larva — Length when full grown 1.20 — 1.30 inches
[=30 — 32mm], color shiny silvery-green on the back, darker below. A medio-dorsal
cream-colored stripe ; a subdorsal one represented by 3 or 4 irregularly shaped spots
on each joint. A broad deep cream-colored stigmatal line, with a few green dents in
it, extending to anal prolegs. Four slightly elevated cream-colored spots, encircled
by a ring of rather darker green than the body, in the dorsal space, and in the sub-
dorsal space there are four or more similar but smaller spots. Venter glaucous-gray.
Head as large as joint 1, free, glassy-green with white mottlings at sides and top, and
pearly- white lips. Thoracic legs Avhitish. Prolegs coucolorous with venter. When
young the body is darker and the markings paler. Described from two living speci-
mens.

Imago (Fig. 57, l>)^Front icings, with the ground-color pale cinereous shaded and
marked either with light brown, having a faint purplish tint, or with darker brown,
having a similar reflection, or with a colder grayish-brown with the faintest moss-
green reflection : in the first two cases the dark color either blends and suffuses with
the ground-color so as to give the wing a nearly uniform and smooth appearance, or
else contrasts sufficiently to bring out all the marks distinct ; in the latter case (two
specimens) the markings are very distinct and the ground color is whiter and more
irrorate. In the well-marked specimens the usual lines are readily distinguished, the
basal half line, transverse anterior and transverse posterior being quite wavy, pale,
and bordered each side with a dark shade, the median shade dark and well defined
and the subterminal line, though sometimes pale near costa, forming a series of dark
angular spots : in the more uniform specimens these lines are barely distinguishable
and perhaps the most constant is the sub-terminal which most often takes the form of
a series of -dark angular spots : the ordinary spots Iiav<- a pale inner and a more or less
distinct dark outer aunulation ; the orbicular is larger than the reniform and is suffi-
ciently double to take on the form of an 8, the upper part of which is always largest
and with the interior space paler than the general surface, while that of the lower
part is either coucolorous or darker ; the form is, however, quite irregular and differs
sometimes in the two wings of the same species: the reniform spot is generally well
defined, a"nd is either darker, or has a tinge of reddish -brown, interiorly: at the base
of the wing is a more or less distinct pale space occupying the upper half, and bor-
dered below by a brown line which is straight about half it> length and then extends
upwards ^ind outwards towards transverse anterior. A tolerably distinct terminal
line, with the fringes dark. lu taking a general view of the varying specimens this
pale basal space, the pale upper part of the orbicular and the dark subterminal line,

and line distinct. Head nearly entire, though the quadririd arrangement of the hairs
is traceable ; palpi hairy throughout. Thorax quite square, of same color as primaries
and with the collar bordered behind with brown and sometimes the edges of the
tegnlte similarly bordered. Alxloiiu-n of same color as hind wings with lateral tufts,
and cut off squarely at apex. Expanse 1.32 — 1.82 inches [=34 — 45mn1].

Described from 3 specimens fed on grape-vine, 2 on peaches and 1 on Ccrcis canadensis.
Other captured specimens examined.

This species is the analogue of, and very closely resembles the European Xylina con-
formis, which is known under various synonyms. A specimen sent to Mr. P. C. Zeller
of Stettin, Prussia, was, however, pronounced distinct. The well-marked irrorate
form still more closely resembles Guenee's clneroxa found in Switzerland, and which he
himself thinks may prove to be a variety of conformis. The more I study the species
of the NOCTUID.E as they occur in nature, the more I am struck with their great vari-
ability, and there can be no doubt that many of the so-called species will turn out to
be but varieties when we better understand them. In this large family none but the
more strikingly marked species should ever be described without an accompanying
description of their preparatory states and of their principal variations. I am unac-
quainted with any of Walker's species except suboostalis, which is very different, and
if this should prove to be a synonym of any of them the fault must be laid to the
difficulty under which the naturalist in the Western States labors for want of proper
libraries to refer to. It differs essentially from Grote's Bethunei and capax as described
and illustrated in Volume I of the Transactions of the American Entomological
Society. I am informed by Mr. [J.] A. Lintner of Albany, N. Y., that Dr. A. Speyer of
Rhoden, Fiirsteuthum Waldeck, Prussia, who gives much attention to the Noctuida?,
has it marked Celoc.na oblonya in his MS., but the insect evidently does not belong to
that genus, and as the German pronunciation of Xyliita much resembles Ihe English
pronunciation of Celocna, the reference to the latter is doubtless due to a verbal mis-
understanding.—[Third Rept., pp. 135, 136. Fig. 57.

AMPHIPYRA COXSPERSA, X. Sp. — Larva. — Found full grown July 2, 1867 , on Hazel.
No pyramidal hump, and of a uniform emerald-green, the dorsal palpitations visible
and the stigmata pale, with a black aunulation, but with no other markings either on
the head, body, or legs.

Imago — Like pyramidoides in every particular except that the brown of front wings
is almost uniformly spattered over, more or less suffusely, with pale-grayish spots, so
that no regular marks appear. The costal marks are. however, tolerably distinct as
in pyramidoidt'*, and by careful examination and comparison traces of the more con-
spicuous marks of that species may be discerned.

Described from one 9 bred July 31. — [Third Rept., p. 75.

As remarked at the time, the specimen from which the description
was made was a bred one and perfect. Grote, in his List of Noctuidce,
considers it simply an aberration of pyramidoides ^ but this can hardly
be the case, as the larva also shows differences.

AGROTIS SCAXDKXS, N. Sp. — Larva. — Average length when full grown 1.40 [inch,
= 35m"']. Ground-color very light yellowish gray, variegated with glaucous- in the
shape of different sized patches, which are distinctly see uuiider the lens to be sepa-
rated by fine lines of the light ground-color. A well-defined dorsal and less distinct

subclorsal and stigmatal line, caused by these patches becoming larger and darker ;
another and still less distinct line of the same kind under stigmata. The dorsal line
frequently with a very tine white line along its middle, especially at sutures of seg-
ments. Piliferous spots in the normal position; those above black, those at the sides
lighter. Stigmata black. Head and cervical shield tawny, the latter with a small
black spot each side, the former with two in front, and two eye-spots each side. Cau-
dal plate tawny, speckled with black. Venter and legs glaucous. Bristles fine and
small. Filled with food it wears a much greener appearance than otherwise, while
when young it is of a more uniform dirty whitish-yellow, the lines less distinct but
the piliferous spots proportionately larger. Head quite variable in depth of shade.

Perfect Insect. — Average length 0.70 [inch, = 17.5mm] ; alar expanse 1.50 [inch, =
37mmJ. General color of fore wings very light pearly bluish-gray, with a perceptible
deepening posteriorly. Quite variable, sometimes of a more decided blue, at others
inclining to buff as in Leitcania unipuncta, Haw. Markings, when distinct, as in
Plate 1, Figures 5 and 6. With the exception of the reuiforni spot and subterminal
line, however, they are usually distinct only on costa, being either indistinct or en-
tirely obsolete on the rest of the wing. The subterminal line is light, with a more
or less dark diffuse shade each side, which, in some instances, forms into sagittate
spots. A black stain at the lower part of reniform spot forms a most distinctive
character. Hind wings very pale and lacking the bluish cast of fore wings ; luuule
distinct, aud a dark shade, enclosing a lighter mark, as in Heliothis, along posterior
margin. Eyes dark; head and thorax same as fore wings ; abdomen same as' hind
wings. The whole under surface the same as hind wings above, the luuules and arcu-
ated bands faintly traced, the fore wings having a darker shade in the middle.

Described from 30 bred specimens.— [First Kept., pp. 78-79. PL f, Figs. 5, 6.

AGROTIS COCHRANII, Riley— Imago. — Fore wings of a light warm cinereous, shaded
with vandyke brown aud umber, the terminal space, except at apex, being darker and
smoky. Basal, middle and linibal areas of almost equal width, the middle exceeding
somewhat the others. A geminate dark basal half-line, usually quite distinct.
Transverse anterior geminate, dark, somewhat irregularly undulate, and slightly
obliquing outwards from costa to interior margin. Transverse posterior geminate,
the inner line being dark, distinct and regularly undulate between the nerves, while
the outer line is plain and much paler ; it is arcuated superiorly and inversely obliques
for two-thirds its width. Orbicular and reniform spots of normal shape, having a fine,
dark annulatiou, which is however obsolete in both, anteriorly ; the orbicular is cou-
colorous with the wing, whilst the reuiforui has a dark inner shade with a central
light one, and forms with the transverse posterior a somewhat oval spot which is also
dark. Median shade dark and distinct interiorly, shading off aud becoming indistinct
in center of wing, and quite dark between the two spots, giving them a fair relief.
Subterminal line single, light, acutely and irregularly dentate, with an inner dark
shade, but warmer than that of terminal space. Terminal line very fine, almost black,
slightly undulate. Fringes of same color as wing, with a light central line, having
an outer dark coincident shade. A dark costal spot in basal area ; at termini of the
usual lines, and two light ones in subterniiual space. In some specimens one or two
fine dark sagittate marks are discernable, and also a fine black claviform mark. Hind
wings : whitish, with a darker shade along posterior margin. Under surface of fore
wings somewhat lighter than the upper surface and pearlaceous interiorly, with a
smoky arcuated baud — more definite near the costa than elsewhere — and a tolerably
distinct lunule. Under surface of hind wings coucolorous; slightly irrorate with
brown anteriorly and posteriorly, and with an indistinct lunule and baud. Antennae,
prothorax, thorax, teguLe and body of same color as primaries, the prothorax having
a darker central line, and in common with the tegulie a carneous margin. Under
surface lighter ; legs with the tarsi spotted.

This moth, in its general appearance, bears a great resemblance to Hadena chenopodii,
but the two are found to differ essentially when compared. From specimens of H.

DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES AND VARIETIES. 77

chenopodii, kindly furnished me by Mr. Walsh, and named by Grote, I am enabled to
give the essential differences, which are : 1st. In A. Cochranii, as already stated, the
middle area exceeds somewhat in width either of the other two, while in H. chenopodii
it is but half as wide as either. 2d. In the Agrotis the space between the spots and
between the reuiforrn and transverse posterior is dark, relieving the spots and giving
them ;i light appearance, whilst in the Hadena this space is of the same color as the
wing, and the reniforiu spot is dark. The claviform spot in the Hadena is also quite
prominent, and one of its distinctive features, while in the Aijrotis it is just about ob-
• olete.

There are specimens that seem to be intermediate between these two, but all those
bred by me, both male and female, were quite constant in their markings, and their
intermediates will doubtless prove to be distinct species or mere varieties.

Larva — Length 1.07 inches [ =26.8mm]. Slightly shagreeued. General color, dingy
ash-gray, with lighter or darker shadings. Dorsum light, inclining to flesh color, with
a darker dingy line along its middle. The sides, particularly along the sub-dorsal line
are of a darker shade. On each segment there are eight small, black, shiny, slightly
elevated points, having the appearance of black sealing-wax, from each of which
originates a small black bristle. The stigmata are of the same black color, and one of
the black spots is placed quite close to them anteriorly. Head shiny and of the same
dingy color as the body, with two darker marks, thick and almost joining at the upper
surface, becoming thinner belowr and diverging toward the palpi. The upper surface
of first segment is also shiny like the head. Ventral region of the same dingy color,
but lighter, having a greenish tinge anteriorly and inclining to yellow under the anal
segment. Legs of same color. It has a few short bristles on the anterior and posterior
segments.

Chrysalis. — Length 0.70 of an inch [=17.5mra]. Light yellowish brown with a
dusky line along top of abdomen. Joints, especially of the three segments immedi-
ately behind the wing-sheaths, dark brown. The brown part of these three segments,
minutely punctured on the back. Eyes dark brown, and just above them, a smaller
brownish spot. Two quite minute bristles at extremity.

Described from numerous bred specimens. — [First Rept., pp. 75-76. Fig. 2b'.

There is little question but that this is the ruoth briefly characterized
by Harris (Ins. Iiij. to Veg., p. 444) as Agrotis messoria, an examination
of the types confirming this view. A. repentis G. & R. and A. lycarum
are also conceded by Grote to be synonyms.

PLUSIA BRASSIC/E, N. Sp. — Larva — Pale yellowish translucent green, the dorsum
made lighter and less translucent by longitudinal opaque lines of a whitish-green ;
these consist each side, of a rather dark vesicular dorsal line, and of two very fine
light lines, with an intermediate broad one. Tapers gradually from segments 1-10,
descending abruptly from 11 to extremity. Piliferous spots white, giving rise to hairs,
sometimes black, sometimes light colored ; and laterally a few scattering white specks
in addition to these spots. A rather indistinct narrow, pale stigmatal line, with a
darker shade above it. Head and legs translucent yellowish-green, the head having
five minute black eyelets each side, which are not readily noticed with the naked eye-
Some specimens are of a beautiful emerald-green, and lack entirely the pale longitu-
dinal lines. Desci'ibed from numerous specimens.

Chrysalis — Of the normal Plusia-form, and varying from yellowish-green to brown.

Moth — Front wings dark gray inclining to brown, the basal half line, transverse
anterior, transverse posterior, and subterminal lines pale yellow inclining to fulvous,
irregularly undulate, and relieved more or less by deep brown margins; the undula-
tions of the subtermiual line more acuminate than in the others, and forming some
dark sagittate points ; the basal half-line, the transverse anterior near costa, and the
transverse posterior its whole length, being sometimes obscurely double : four distinct
equidistant costal spots on the terminal half of wing, the third from apex formed by

the termination of the transverse posterior; posterior border umlulate with a dark
browu line which is sometimes marked with pale crescents; a series of similar cres-
cents (often mere dots) just inside the terminal space; the small snb-cellnlary silver
spot oval, sometimes uniformly silvery-white but more often with a fulvous centre,
sometimes free from, but more often attached to the larger one which has the shape
of a constricted U, very generally with a fulvous mark inside, which extends basally
to the transverse anterior at costa. Fringes dentate, of the color of the wing, and
with a single undulating line parallel to that on the terminal border. Hind wings
fuliginous, inclining to yellowish towards base, and with but a slight pearly lustre ;
fringes very pale with a darker inner line. Under surfaces pale fuliginous with a
pearly lustre, the front wings with a distinct fulvous mark under the sub-cellulary
spots, speckled more or less with the same color around the borders of the wing, the
fringes being dentate with light and dark ; the hind wings speckled with fulvous on
their basal half, and with the fringes as above. Thorax variegated with the same
•color as front wings, the tufts being fulvous inclining to pink. Abdomen 9 gray, with
a few pale hairs near the base, and scarcely extending beyond the margin of the hind
wings; $ longer, covered with pale silky hairs, a distinct dorsal brown tuft on each
of the three basal segments, and two large lateral either fawn-colored or golden-yellow
brushes on the fifth segment, meeting on the back and partly covering two smaller
brushes on the sixth, which are tipped with black ; terminal segment flattened and
with two lateral more dusky and smaller tufts : underside of thorax and abdomen
gray, mixed with flesh-color. Alar expanse 1.55 inches. Described from numerous
bred specimens. In a suite of specimens bred from the same brood of larvte a consid-
erable difference in the general depth of color is found, some being fully as dark again
as others.

Closely resembles PInsia ni, Engr., -which occurs in Italy, Sicily, France, and the
northern parts of America. Mr. P. Zeller of Stettin, Prussia, to -whom I sent speci-
mens, considers it distinct however from the European ni, and I have consequently
given it a name in accordance with its habits. — [Second Rept., pp. 111-112. Fig. 81.

Notwithstanding its close resemblance to M/, the best authorities agree
with Zeller in considering it distinct, as it certainly is. Strangely enough
this same brassicfe, or what is extremely close to it, occurs also in South
Europe and is figured in Stainton's Entomologist's Annual for 1870 as
P. ni, one specimen having been found on the south coast of England,
which specimen Zeller, as he wrote me, belie res to have come from
America. Staudiuger would probably characterize brass iccc as a " species
Darwiuiana," and there are doubtless individuals of both the species
which approach each other so closely as to be undistinguishable. There
is such variation in the silver spot in either that it cannot be depended
on alone, but Speyer (Europaisch-Amerieanische Verwaudtschaften ;
Stettinet- Eni. Zeit., June, 1875, p. 165) has presented other differences
that are constant in detail, the most notiqeable of which are the darker
and more irrorate coloring and the interrupted and wavy terminal line
of brassiccc, against the paler, smoother, more metallic coloring and the
perfectly straight and unbroken terminal line of -n i.

The larva is the most common cabbage pest in the Southern States,
and is infested with an undetermined parasite. Mr. E. A. Popeuoe has
found it feeding on the leaves of Crepis, and what appears to be the
same has been found by my assistants on Clover, Dandelion, Senecio
scandens, and Chenopodium.

Dr. Packard, in his Monograph of the Geoiuetred Moths, etc. (TJ. S.
Geol. Surr. of Terr., Vol. X, 1870, p. 332), refers it to the genus Synchlora
Gor., and adds the conventional ending to the specific name, so that the
species becomes Synclilora rubivomria. Synclilora albolineataP&ck. and
Eunemoria gracilaria Pack, are given as synonyms.

PHYCITA [ACROBASIS] XEBULO, Walsh — Imago. — I reproduce here the description of
the moth in Mr. Walsh's original words : " Expansion of wings 7-10. Length of body
3-10. General color light cinereous, varied with dusky. A row of about seven sub-
seuiilnnar or linear dark spots on outer margin of fore wing. Then one-fourth of the
distance to the body a waving light cinereous baud parallel to the exterior margin,
mai'ked on each side with dusky black. Nearly at the centre a much abbreviated black
band. Beyond the centre on the costal margin a subtriaugular dusky black spot, the
apex of which connects with the apex of a much larger subobsolete triangular brick-
red spot which extends to the interior margin, and is bounded on the outside by a wavy
light cinereous band, which is again bounded by a wavy dusky black baud proceeding
from the apex of the costal triangle. Base of wing dusky black, inclosing a small
round light cinereous spot. Hind wings and all beneath light cinereous shaded with
dusky, the fore wings darker. Tarsi dusky with a narrow light cinereous fascia at the
apex of each joint. Hind tibia fasciate with dusky at the apex, sometimes obscurely
bifasciate. Intermediate tibia fasciate with dusky at the centre, the fascia generally
extending to the base, but becoming lighter. Anterior tibia dusky, with a narrow
apical light cinereous fascia. Palpi, both labial and maxillary, dusky."

When compared with other closely allied and resembling species, this little moth
may be characterized in the following manner: The ground color of the front wing is
decidedly bright and pale ; the discal spots are almost always confluent, thus forming
an abbreviated transverse bar ; the dark markings are well denned and the triangular
dark costal spots starting from the inner third of the wing is distinctly relieved, while
the " brick-red" (nearer a cinnamon-brown) triangular spot which opposes it is large,
so that the space it occupies on the inner margin is nearly as wide (generally within
one-third) as that between it and the transverse posterior line. The lower half of the
basal space is often of a distinct cinn'amon-browu. and an oblique dusky band, which
Mr. Walsh has not mentioned, is often quite distinct, running from near the apex to
the brown triangle, where it connects with the inner margin. The species recalls, in
facies, the European Hyelois suavella. In a suite of specimens bred from Apple, Quince,
Plum and Cherry, there is sufficient variation to prevent a too rigidly drawn descrip-
tion, but the above characters obtain in all of them, and such variation as occurs
runs in the direction of the variety presently to be described.

nally from first to last joint. Head and cervical shield darker than the rest of body,
slightly sliagreened, sparsely covered with long hairs, the shield quite large, convex,
and occupying the whole surface between stigmata — there being iu frout of the latter
a sub-cervical dark horny plate. Joints 2 and 3 wrinkled as at Fig. 18, c the former
with two rather conspicuous dark dorsal piliferous spots. The other joints with a few
fine hairs, the stigmata plainly visible, and the anal covering but slightly horny.
Legs and prolegs of moderate size and of same color as body.

Described from numerous specimens.

Chrysalis — Mahogouy-brown, with no striking character. Abdomen, especially
above, with very minute punctures.

VARIETY NEBULELLA (Fig. 20, e). — I have bred a single specimen from wild Crab
(Crata'uux) which differs in some essential features from the normal form, but which
nevertheless can only be considered a variety of it, as I observed no larval differences.
It differs in the more uniform and subdued tone of the front wings, the markings being
more suffused and indistinct ; but principally in the relative narrowness of the space
outside the transverse posterior line the greater consequent width of the middle area,
and smallness of the triangular brown spot — the space it occupies on the, inner margin
being scarcely one-half as wide as that between it and the transverse posterior line.
The discal spots are also separated.

Described from one good specimen. An interesting fact connected with this variety
is, that precisely the same form occurs in Europe, as I found a single specimen in the
cabinet of M. J. Liechtenstein of Moutpellier, France, which he had captured in that
vicinity, and which he allowed me to bring home for comparison. It seems to be rare,
even there, and whether indigenous or imported from this country, is a question yet to
be solved.— [Fourth Rept., p. 41-42, Figs. 18,19,20.

ACROBASIS JUGLANDIS, LeBaron. — (Fig. 20, d) — I have bred this species from Hick-
ory, but as Dr. LeBaron has also bred it abundantly from Walnut, and has signified
his intention of describing it in his second annual Report, I adopt his proposed name,
and shall content myself with pointing out the manner in which it may generally be
distinguished from nebula. Firstly, by the paler basal area of the front wings, which
is sometimes almost white, especially near the costa, and by the head and shoulders and
sometimes the <? antenual horn partaking of this paler col or. Secondly, by the darker
median space, the dark triangular costal spot not being well relieved posteriorly, but
extending so as sometimes to darken the whole space. Thirdly, by the discal spots
always being well separated.

Such are its specific characters as taken from 3 hickory-bred and 6 walnut-bred speci-
mens ; but of the former there is 1 which when placed alongside of some of the more
abnormal specimens of nebula, can scarcely be distinguished from them, and, if chosen
without knowledge of its larva, would certainly be placed with them ; while of the
latter there are two which nearly as closely resemble the variety nebulella. In gene-
ral characters, in the size of the brown triangular spot, and the manner in which the
inner margin is divided, jiujlainl'is is intermediate ber \veeu nebulo and nebuh'lla. In one
of the hickory-bred specimens, the general color is quite warm, and the basal area
carueous rather than white. — [Fourth Rept., p. 4:!. Fig. 20, a, I), d.

Dr. LeBaron published his description of it about the same time,
under the name Phycita juglandis, in his Second Eeport on the Insects
of Illinois, p. 123.

PEMPKLIA HAMMONDI, N. Sp. Imago (Fig. 21, d). — Average expanse 0.48 inch
[=z 12111111]. Front wings glossy purplish-brown with two silvery gray transverse bands
dividing the wing on costa in about three equal parts, the basal baud sharply defined
outwardly and always extending to inner margin, the posterior baud never extending
more than half way across the wing, and generally not more than one-third, illy de-
fined. In some specimens the basal transverse baud is quite narrow, with the basal
space a shade paler than the median : in others the band forms a double line. In some

DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES AND VARIETIES. 81

specimens also, a narrow pale transverse line outside the second band, and a pale ter-
minal shade, are visible. Hind wings uniformly paler gray. Under surface glossy
gray, with no marks, the front wings a shade darker than the hind. $ differs from
9 in the basal portion of the auteuiue being1 curved, and the curve filled with a tuft
of scales.

Described from numerous bred specimens. The species has the general facies of the
European Cryptoblabes bislriga, which is a larger insect.

Larva. — Length 0.45 — 0.50 inch [ = 11 — 12.5mm]. General color olive, or pale green,
or brown, with a broad dark stripe along each side of back. Tapers slightly both
ways, joints 4-12 inclusive, divided into two transverse folds. Freckled with numer-
ous pale specks and with piliferous spots, the specks often taking the form of two pale
broken lines along the upper edge of dark stripe. The piliferous spots are pale with a
central black dot, and are best seen in the dark specimens. On joints 4-12 inclusive
they are placed 4 in a square on the middle of the back, and four more each side, the
two upper lateral ones being on the anterior fold, the stigmata appearing as minute
rufous specks between them. Both these spots are often double. The third lateral
spot is on the posterior fold and the fourth is subventral and anterior. The hairs pro-
ceeding from these spots are long and setaceous. Head horizontal, freckled, pale be-
hind, tinged with green in front and with a few long hairs. Joint 1 also freckled
and with a large black piliferous tubercle with a pale basal auuulatiou and in range
with middle of dark stripe. Joint 2 with similar black tubercles with a white centre
and replacing the uppermost lateral pale spot. There are but two of the small pale
dorsal piliferous spots on this joint (between the tubercles) as well as on joint 3. Be-
neath immaculate, except that the thoracic legs have sometimes a few dusky dots.

In the very dark specimens the head, cervical shield and anal plate remain pale.
The cervical shield is then well defined with four small piliferous specks at anterior
edge, and the large shiny tubercle forms the extreme anterior angle.

Described from numerous specimens.

Pupa. — 0.24 inch [ = Gmm] long ; rather stout and short, with two minute diverging
spines and a few stiff" bristles at tip.

In many specimens the stibdorsal dark stripe is obsolete or sub-obsolete, but even
then the four black tubercles on joints 1 and 2 characterize the larva sufficiently. —

tapering thence gradually to anus. Ground color dull yellow. Covered with large,
distinct, black, sealing-wax-like, slightly elevated spots, each giving rise to several
fine bristles. These spots are thus arranged on each segment: 2 each side of dorsum
the posterior ones widest apart ; 1 at sides in the middle of the segment, containing
the stigmata iu its lower hind margin ; 1 smaller and narrower just below this, on a
somewhat elevated longitudinal ridge, and 1 round one below this ridge on the pos-

Described from two bred specimens.

Larva (Fig. '22, a). — Length 0.50 inch [ = 12.5mm]. Form of that of Acrobasis nebuJo,
wrinkled very much in the same manner. Color yellowish-green, the piliferous spots
of the same color, but readily distinguished by their polish ^d surface; they are placed
in a transverse row on thoracic joints, and 011 joints 4 — 12 there a're four trapezoidally
on dorsum, two laterally on the tirst fold and one subventral. Stigmata between the
two lateral spots, and yellowish. Head and cervical shield gamboge-yellow ; only a
shade darker than body ; labruni aud two basal joints of antenna? paler or white, the
terminal joiut brown ; ocelli on a somewhat crescent-shaped black spot (the most con-
spicuous character) a second dusky spot at base of head laterally. Legs immaculate.

Described from many specimens.

Pupa (Fig. 22, ft). — Length 0.25 — 0.30 inch [=6 — 7.5mm]. Brown, characterized by
a peculiar rounded projection from front of head ; by a little pointed prominence at
base of each antenna;., and each side of penultimate abdominal joint ; aud by termi-
nating in a broad suppressed piece which produces two decurved hooks. Posterior rim
of abdominal joints rasped dorsally, and a slight rasped dorsal ridge near the anterior
edge of larger joints. Legs reaching only to end of wing-sheaths. The head-promi-
nence varies in size and slightly in form. — [Fourth Rept., p. 47.

From specimens reared from cranberry-feeding larva? received from
Mr. Juo. H. Brakeley, of Bordeutown, 1ST. J., I am satisfied that this is
the same species briefly characterized by Packard in the 1st edition of
his Guide (p. 334) as Tortrix oxycoccana, and that T. malivorana LeBaron
(my Rep. IV, p. 47) is but a dimorphic orange form, subsequently de-
scribed by Packard as T. vacciniicortoia (Hayden's Report of the TL S.
Geol. and Geogr. Survey of the Territories 1878, p. 522). The orange
and ash-gray specimens are thus bred both from Apple and Cranberry.
I have reared both forms from Cranberry and from Apple, and they are
undistinguishable in the larva and pupa states. The gray form is often

more or less suffused with orange scales and the orange form less fre-
quently with gray scales. This is the most remarkable case of dimor-
phism with which I am familiar in the family, and points strongly to the
important bearing of biological facts on a true classification. The di-
morphic coloring is not sexual, but occurs in both sexes. The eggs of
this species are very flat, circular and translucent, with a diameter of
0.7njm, and are laid singly on the underside of the leaf near the mid rib.
The species belongs to the genus Tents, and as Packard's specific name
oxycoccana has priority, the insect should be known as Teras oxycoccana,
Pack. The insect, according to Mr. Brakeley. who gives an account of
it in the Eeport of the Seventh Annual Convention of the New Jersey
Cranberry Association (1879, p. 7), commonly affects, also, the high-bush
whortleberry. The gray form of the moth is most frequent in autumn.

GELECHIA GALL.ESOLIDAGIXIS, N. Sp.—Lan-a.— Length 0.60 [inch, - 15mm]. Cyl-
indrical. Color dark dull-brown, without shine. Largest on middle segments ; taper-
ing from 4th to head, and from 9th to extremity. Each segment impressed transversely
in the middle, thus forming two folds, the thoracic segment having other such folds.
Six small piliferous spots, two each side of dorsuru and one above stigmata, which,
together with the stigmata, are shiny and of a lighter brown than the body. Head
and cervical shield light shiny-brown.

Chrysalis. — Length 0.50 [inch, = 12.5mm]. Mahogany-brown. Form normal. Blunt
at extremity.

Perfect moth.— Average length 0.38 [ = 9.5mm]. Alar expanse ? 0.95 [inch, = 24mm],
$ 0.75 [inch, = 18.8mmJ. Fore wings deep purplish-brown, more or less sprinkled
with carneous. A light carneous band starts from the costa near the base, and curves
towards the middle of the inner margin, which it occupies to a little beyond the be-
ginning of the cilia, where it curves upwards towards the tip, reaching only half way
up the wing. Here it is approached from above by a somewhat diffuse spot of the
same color, which starts from the costa just behind the apex, and runs down to the
middle of the wing.

In the plainly marked individuals there is an extra line running from the middle of
the inner margin, outwardly obliquing to the middle of the wing, and then back to
the inner margin a little beyond where the cilia commences, but in the great majority
of specimens this mark is indistinct. Cilia light carueous. Hind wings slate-gray,
with the cilia lighter. Anteume finely aunulated with the same two dark and light
colors. Head, thorax and palpi light, with a sprinkling of the dark brown. Body
dark, with light aunulations. The species varies in the distiuctn'jss of its markings,
and the light parts of the front wing appear finely sprinkled with brown under the
lens. Male generally smaller than female, with the antenna; proportionately a little
longer.

Described from numerous bred specimens.

It seems to resemble G. longifasdeUa of Clemens, in coloration and pattern ; but un-
fortunately our late lamented inicrolepidopterist, failed almost always to give the
measurement of the species he described, and it is impossible to tell how much mine
resembles that species. Yet, as longifcLSciella was described from two mutilated speci-
mens, received from A. S. Packard, jr.. and as that gentleman has seen my insect and
declared it an nndescnlied species, there can belittle doubt of the fact. — [First Rept.,

PTEROPIIORUS CARDUI, X. Sp. — Larva. — Average length 0.60. Largest in the middle
of body, tapering thence each way. Color light straw-yellow — greener when young.
Somewhat darker, partly translucent, dorsal, >ubdorsal and stigmatal lines. Two
lateral rows of black spots, the lower spots rather smaller and placed behind the

upper ones. A third row above these, and others along the back, but so small that
they are generally imperceptible with the naked eye, except on the thoracic segments,
being especially distinct on segment '2. Head small, black, sometimes inclining to
brown. Cervical shield black, divided longitudinally in the middle by a lighter line.
Caudal plate also black. Segment 11, besides the spots above mentioned, has two
transverse black marks, the posterior one the largest. Thoracic legs black, the others
of the same color as the body.

Described from 12 specimens.

Pupa. — Average length 0.45. Of form of Plate 2, Fig. 14. Soft, dull yellow, with a
lateral dusky line each side of dorsuin, and another, less distinct, each side of venter.
Also dusky about the head and wing-sheaths.

Perfect insect. — Length 0.45; alar expanse 0.80. Front wings bifid, the cleft reach-
ing not much more than J of wing; tawny yellow, with a distinct dark brown trian-
gular spot running from costa to the base of cleft — sometimes a little below it — its
posterior margin with a slight concave curve. Three dusky, diffuse longitudinal
spots, one placed on the basal third of the wing at costa and frequently reaching along
the costa to the triangular spot ; one near the interior margin, a little nearer to the
base of wing than the last, and one on the outer third of the interior margin. Two
light-colored transverse lines across the end of wing, one very near and parallel
with posterior margin, the other bordering the triangular spot behind, and curving
across the lower lobe towards posterior angle. The space between these two light
lines usually darker than the ground-color. Fringes dark with a light margin. Hind
wings trifid, the upper cleft reaching a little beyond the middle, the lower one to the
base of wing. Color ashy-brown, the lower lobe produced into a dark angular spot
about their middle posteriorly. Antenna?, palpi, head, thorax, and body, tawny yel-
low; legs of the same color with the exception of the tarsi, which are almost white,
with alternate dark brown spots, the spines being black, with dusky tips. — [First
Kept., pp. 180-181. Fig. 98, and PI. II, Figs. 13, 14.

Zelier has since (1872) referred it to the genus Platyptilia (Beitr. ztir
Kenntn. N. A. Nachtfalter, 2nd part, p. 118), and indicates the difference
between it and a very closely allied European species, P. Zetterstedtii.
He very properly, because of the incongruous compound, drops the con-
ventional ending dactyliis which I used in the original description.

HETEROPTERA.

NYSIUS DESTRUCTOR, N. Sp. — General color grayish-brown ; of shape of N. tlitjmi
Wolff. Head either minutely or more coarsely punctate, and more or less distinctly
pubescent; the surface usually brown, with a distinct black, longitudinal line each
side, broadening on the crown, but generally leaving the orbit of the eyes pale; these
lines sometimes more diffuse and occupying the whole surface, except a median brown
spot at base of crown, and a narrow, paler spot on the clypeus; ocelli piceous; eyes
opaque, either black or slate-color; face sometimes uniformly pubescent and appear-
ing dark grayish-brown; but more generally black each side of rostrum, with a dis-
tinct yellowish-brown spot on the checks below the eyes ; rostrum piceous, paler at base

the torulus and first joint darkest. Thorax, pronotum narrowing anteriorly, the sides
slightly sinuate, irregularly and more coarsely punctate than the head, more or less
pubescent, dingy yellow or blown, with a transverse black band near the anterior
edge, obscuring the incision and leaving the edge pale, especially in the middle, where
there is often a conspicuous pale spot; also five more or less distinct longitudinal
dark lines, the central one most persistent and leading on the posterior margin to a
pale, shiny, impunctate spot ; the callus at hind angles, and sometimes an intermedi-
ate ripot between it and the median one, and the entire posterior margin, also pale and
impunctate; scutellum dark, coarsely punctate, sometimes with a smooth median Ion-

gitudiual ridge ending in a pale spot, and with the lateral margins pale ; prostcmum
dark, more or less pubescent, the anterior and posterior margins, and a band outside
of cox;e, more or less broadly pale ; mesosternnm amV metasternum also dark, with
the pale spots outside of coxa'. Legs pale yellow, inclining more or less to brown ;
cox» dark at base, pale at tip ; trochauters pale ; front and middle femora spotted
more or less continently on the outside with brown ; hind femora, $ dark brown, ex-
cept at tips and base ; 9 spotted only ; tibite ringed with brown at base; tarsi marked
more or less with brown, especially at tip. Hemelytm either colorless, transparent
and prismatic, or distinctly tinged with dingy yellow ; shallowly punctate and very
finely pubescent, the veins of corium and clavus dingy yellow, with brown streaks,
the more constant of these streaks being two on posterior margin of corium, and one
at the tip of clavns. Jldomtn, $ tergum piceous, with the sutures and sides of some
of the joints rarely paler ; venter piceous, minutely and regularly covered with gray
pubescence ; 9 sutures and spots on tergum more often pale ; venter dingy yellow,
except at base; 9 paler than $ , and generally larger. Average length 0.13 inch
[= 3.i»"»],

Lan-a. — Dingy yellow, with more or less distinct longitudinal dark lines, especially
on head.

Pupa. — Same color, with more distinct red and brown longitudinal. lines, and two
little tooth-like, pale yellow processes at inner base of hemelytra pads, indicating the
wings ; the abdomen paler than the rest of the body.

Described from numerous specimens. I have some, especially males, in which the black
so predominates that the paler parts of the head and thorax are scarcely traceable,
while in others agaii the pale parts predominate almost to the exclusion of the black.
Indeed, so variable is the species that it is difficult to see wherein some of the specimens
differ from the European thi/mi, or from .AT. angiistatus Uhler, audit is barely possible
that future comparison will show specific identity between some or all of the three.
But as long as authors fail to give the variation a species is liable to, or the number
of specimens a description is drawn up from, it will remain impossible to decide such
questions satisfactorily, and I name destructor at the suggestion of our- Hemipterist,
Mr. P. R. Uhler, of Baltimore, who has examined specimens which I sent him. — [Fifth

MYTILASPIS POMICORTICIS, N. SP. — Eggs— from 30 to 100 under each scale ; length
scarcely 0.01 inch, irregularly ovoid, nearly thrice as long as wide, snow-white, ex-
cept just prior to hatching, when they become yellowish. Larva — Length of body
0.01 inch, ovoid, thrice as long as wide, pale yellow, with a darker yellow spot near
each end ; a few short hairs seen around border ; two fine anal setae about half as long
as body springing from two lobes between which two spinous hairs are always seen ;
antenna* quite variable, the joints irregular and not easily resolved, sometimes ap-
pearing only 6-jointed, but more generally 7-joiuted, with a few hairs, two or three at
tip the longest and most persistent ; legs with a one-jointed tarsus, a feeble claw, and,
among other hairs, four more or less distinctly knobbed ones near tip, the two upper-
most longest.

$ — Length of body, 0.0-22 inch [ = .5.5mm ] ; color, translucent cameous-gray ; a dorsal
transverse baud on each abdominal joint, and portions of the inesothorax and meta-
thorax darker, or purple-gray ; the members somewhat lighter. Head, sub-triangular ;
rostrum rudimentary ; ocular tubercles, one each side of it, plainly visible, the eyes
on the upper surface prominent, dark, and with few facets ; antenme as long as body,
10-jointed, joints 1 and 2 bulbous and sometimes indistinctly separated; 3 — 9 about
four times as long as wide, slightly constricted; 10 half as long and fusiform ; all but
basal two with a whorl of about eight hairs, slightly clavate and as long as width of
joint. Thorax very large, oval; prothoracic portion narrowing in front, composed of
two transverse folds, the anterior one having a transverse row of four dusky dots ; the
niesothoracic portion large and elevated, showing three lateral swellings ; a well-de-
fined medio-dorsal plate, rounded in front, shallowly-uotched behind, with a medio-

longitudinal suture, and a transverse one dividing it in two, the anterior half pale,
the posterior darker; the metathoracic portion showing a sub-triangular scutel, and
separated from mesothorax by the transverse baud (apodema of Targioui). Wings
about as long as body, arising from base of mesothorax, spatulate, closing tlat on back
in repose, and appearing whitish, finely and uniformly covered with short, stiff hairs;
supported, by a bifurcate vein, the bifurcation arising from basal fourth, and each
fork running near and almost parallel with the wing-margins; balancers dark, with
the hook quite long. Legs with the middle pair longest, and — from large size of cox;e
— further from front than from hind pair ; the cox;e and femora large and swollen, the
latter with a more or less distinct lobe near the base below; the tarsi one-jointed,
with a constriction occasionally indicated, and terminating in a single flexible claw,
surrounded by four clubbed hairs; the tibue and tarsi are quite bristly, but on the
femora there are usually but two bristles, one about the middle above, and one on the
basal lobe below; the coxre also have one above. Abdomen, seen from above, nearly
as long as thorax ; appearing shorter from below; 8 joints only discerned ; the last
joint abruptly narrowed into a large tubercle bearing four bristles on the under side,
and sending forth the genital armor in the form of an awl-shaped style as long as the
abdomen.

$ Scale — Larval part golden yellow; the anal shield yellowish-brown, sometimes
quite pale, inclining to white, flattened, straight, rather more than twice the length
of larval scale, increasing in width from tip to end, where it is slightly truncate; at-
tached by a white film ; average length, 0.035 inch.

9 — Average length, 0.05 inch; color, pale yellow; jug-shaped and flattened when
young, more globular when mature, and twice as long as wide ; the cephalo-thoracic
portion rounded and entire, but narrower than the abdominal, at the juncture with
which it forms a more or less conspicuous lateral projection ; on its inferior side is a
tubercle, having two longitudinal ridges, and giving rise to a corneous, filiform pro-
boscis, longer than the body, and composed of four separate parts ; posterior abdomi-
nal joints deeply lobed laterally, with two or three blunt, fleshy hairs to each lobe;
anal plate gamboge-yellow, corneous, with an irregular border, presenting two larger,
slightly tri-lobed, median projections, and one or more smaller ones each side, fur-
nished with spinous hairs, two especially between the tri-lobed projections aforenamed ;
five more or less complete sets of secretors visible from below, arranged around anus
in form of an arc, the median set with normally 10, the upper laterals 20, and the lower
laterals 14 ; besides these, some six or more blunt tubes, and a series of shorter pointed
ones, may be noticed along the border, and doubtless serve as secretors. (See Fig. 32 &.)

9 Scale — Larval scale golden-yellow ; median scale somewhat darker; anal shield
varying from pale brown to deep purplish-gray, and generally of a color with the bark
it is upon. The whole scale is often iucauous, but the hoary film easily rubs off; it
averages 0.12 inch in length, but is quite variable in form and size, being either straight
or curved, narrow and strongly arched, or broad and flatter, but always rounded at
the end ; the white inferior laminne at sides sometimes show distinctly from above, and
give the appearance of a pale border.

The lice, whether $ or 9 , vary in appearance according to position and state of ma-
turity. In making the foregoing descriptions and figures, I have taken what appeared
the most natural positions, after examination of many specimens. The $ abdomen
shrinks very much in drying, and the more detailed 9 characters are variable. While
the normal number of secretors in the middle set is never more than 10, I have some-
times found but 8 or 9 ; that of the upper laterals never surpasses 20, but may be as
low as 15 ; while that of the lower laterals is more uniformly 14, though I have some-
times found 16, and at others 12. Opposite sets do not always contain the same num-
ber.—[Fifth Rept., pp. 95-96. Figs. 31, 32.

This is the species previously known us Aspidiotus conchiformis, or
popularly as the Oyster-shell Bark-louse, and the reasons for separa-
ting it are given in the report.

by the absence' of this covering at the borders of each segment ; basal segment broad,
bilobed, and with lateral black bristles ; segments 6, 7, « and anal valves with a de-
cided pink tint, especially 7 ; 8 but one-third as long as 7 above. 9 , broader, flatter,

lowish hairs ; pulvilli, generally fulvous.

Described from two $ , and two 9 » all captured while sucking honey-bees. I have
not access to Loew's descriptions, and cannot therefore compare it with already de-
scribed species; but specimens have been sent to Dr. Win. LeBaron, of Geneva, Illi-
nois, and to Baron Osten Sacken, of New York, and both these gentlemen are unac-
quainted with it, and believe it to be new. In the well marked $ specimens, the

and more oblique; balancers crumpled, yellowish. Abdomen with faint dusty medio-
dorsal spots, broad at base, tapering and obsolesciug toward end of each joint.

In the $ , aside from the larger eyes, stronger bristles, and narrower, less tapering
abdomen with its additional joint — all characteristic of the sex — the face is whiter,
and the medio-doreal dark mark of abdomen continuous.

Described from 25 specimens of both sexes, reared from locust-egg-feeding larvte.

Specimens bred from cabbage and radish roots, and others in my cabinet taken
from the burrows (made in Osage Orange iu Missouri) of Crabro stlrplcola Pack. ; do-
not differ specifically. — [Ninth Rept., p. 95.

For further details see First Rept. of the Commission (pp. 285-9) r
where the species is shown to be the Anthomyia angustifrons of Meigen.

ORTHOPTERA.

CAXOPTENUS ATLANIS N. sp. — Length to tip of abdomen 0.70 — 0.85 inch [=17.5 —
21mm]; to tip of closed wings 0.92 — 1.05 inches [=23— 2G"'m]. At once distinguished
from femuf-riibrum by the notched character of the anal abdominal joint in the male
and by the shorter, less tapering cerci ; also by the greater relative length of wings
which extend, on an average, nearly one-third their length beyond the tip of the ab-
domen in the dried specimens : also by the larger and more distinct spot on the wings —
in all which characters it much more closely resembles spretus than feinur-rubnim.

90 INDEX TO MISSOURI ENTOMOLOGICAL REPORTS.

From spretus, again, it is at once distinguished by the smaller size, the more distinct
separation of the dark mark running from the eyes on the prothorax and of the pale
line from base of wings to hind thigh ; also by the anal joint in the $ , tapering more
suddenly and by the two lobes forming the notch being less marked. From both spe-
cies it is distinguished not only by its smaller size but by the deeper, more livid color
of the dark parts, and the paler yellow of the light parts — the colors thus more
strongly contrasting.

6^'s, 9?'s from New Hampshire. Just as the typical femur-rubrum is at once dis-
tinguished from the typical spretus by the characters indicated; so Allanis, though
structurally nearer to spretus, is distinguished from it at a glance by its much smaller
size and darker, more marbled coloring. The contrast is all the greater in the living
specimens, and I have seen no specimens of spretus that at all approach it in these
respects.

Whether this is the femur-rubrum as defined by DeGeer or by Harris, it is almost
impossible to decide, though Harris's figure of femur-rubrum better represents it than
the true femur-rubrum, as subsequently defined by Thomas, and as found in Illinois
and Missouri. — [Seventh Rept., pp. 169-170.

For further details and structural differences between it and C. spretus
see First Keport of the Commission.

LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS.

The illustrations in the Eeports were prepared at the author's expense?
neither the State nor the Board of Agriculture making any provision
therefor. The wood-engraving was done for the most part in St. Louis,
by eith-er Wm. Macwitz, Emile Lampe, or Wittemberg & Sorber. Some
of it was done by Van Ingen & Snyder, of Philadelphia. A few of the
later illustrations are by photo-engraving, and Figs. 50-52 of the 8th
Report show the first attempt to combine this process with lithography.
In the following list, all drawings were made from nature by the author
unless otherwise stated, and when the figure is enlarged the natural
size, unless otherwise apparent or stated in this list, will be found indi-
cated in hair-line. The nomenclature of the Eeports is retained.
