Introductory.
THE CAMBRIDGE ENTOMOLOGICAL CLUB was formed January 9, 1874, by the following persons, who met at Dr. Hagen’s house, No. 7 Putnam Street, Cambridge, Massachu- setts, namely: Messrs. E. P. Austin, Edward Burgess, G. R. Crotch, of Cambridge, England, George Dimmock, J. H. Emerton, Dr. H. A. Hagen, Messrs. Samuel Henshaw, B. P. Mann, H. K. Morrison, J. C. Munro, of Lexington, Dr. A. 8. Packard, of Salem, Messrs. Eugene Schwarz, and §. H. Scud- der. It has since added to its number Messrs. J. A. Allen, Walter Faxon, A. W. Gould, Prof. C. E. Hamlin, Messrs. Holmes Hinkley, H. G. Hubbard, Baron C. R. Osten Sacken, Messrs. F. G. Sanborn, G. D. Smith, P. S. Sprague, Roland Thaxter, of Newtonville, and C. P. Whitney, of Milford, N. H.
At the fourth monthly meeting, held April 10, 1874, the Club decided to undertake the publication of a monthly organ, to be called Psycue. This organ will contain such parts of the proceedings of the Club as seem to be of general interest, biological contributions upon Arthropoda from’ any competent person, lists of captures, with time and locality, miscellaneous entomological information, and especially a BIBLIOGRAPHICAL RECORD, in which last a list will be given of all writings upon Entomology published in North America, and of all foreign writings upon North American Entomology, from the beginning of the year 1874, with a brief note of the contents of each. For the greater perfection of this list, authors and societies are requested to forward their works to the editor at the earliest date possible.
Each number will contain at least four pages, and as soon as the returns are sufficient to make it possible, a greater number of pages will be given. The subscription price in
bo
North America will be one dollara year. Subscribers abroad can send their subscriptions in available postage stamps, to the amount of five shillings, six francs, or one and two-thirds thalers for each subscription. Subscriptions must in all cases be paid in advance to the editor.

English Names for Butterflies.
THE natural objects which attract most attention among all classes are birds, butterflies, and flowers. In England, the native species of all these groups have received common English names; and no doubt many persons have thus ac- quired a good knowledge of Natural History who might have been repelled by scientific Greek or Latin compounds. In our own country all the common birds and flowers have also received such names, and it is my belief that the study of butterflies would be far more popular, if they also had com- mon names. There would be an advantage, too, in this, for Antiopa would be the Camberwell Beauty all the same, how- ever fiercely men wrangled over Papilio vs. Vanessa as its proper adjunct !
In PsycukE, then, as its appropriate place, we print the fol- lowing list of names proposed for New England butterflies, using as a basis on the scientific side, the names of my Revi- sion. Account is taken of all names that have been proposed by Gosse and others, and they are retained unless special rea- sons prevent.
1. CUneis semidea— The White Mountain butterfly.
Harris called it the Mountain butterfly.
2. Cneis Jutta— The arctic Satyr.
3. Enodia Portlandia.— The Pearly-eye.
This is the name given by Gosse.
4. Minois Alope—— The blue-eyed Grayling.
Gosse called it the Blue-eyed Ringlet, but it is rather a Grayling than a Ringlet in English parlance.
5. Minois Nephele— The dull-eyed Grayling.
6. Argus Eurydice—— The eyed Brown.
This is Gosse’s name. z
3)
7. Megisto Eurytus.— The little wood Satyr. Gosse named it the dusky Argus, but it is not an Argus. 8. Megisto Phocion— The Georgian Satyr.
In allusion to the place from which it was first described, and whence only it was for a long while known. S. H. Scudder.
BIBLIOGRAPHICAL RECORD.
In this Record we shall indicate by an asterisk (*) that the correctness of the title which is given has been verified by our own examination.
In the beginning, at least, it will not be practicable to observe a chron- ological order, but the contents of one periodical after another will be brought up to date, and separate works will be noticed as they are met with. B. Pickman Mann.

Interesting Capture.
On April 19 I took at Hyde Park a hibernated specimen of Nymphalis Milberti Godt. This species, common as it is in the northern part of New England, is extremely rare near Boston, which seems to be very near its southern limit, al- though single specimens have been recorded as taken as far south as Long Island and Philadelphia. I know of but one specimen having been observed in Connecticut, but in Massa- chusetts, west of Boston, several have been taken at Spring- field, Williamstown, and other localities. As we go north it becomes very abundant, and in New Hampshire, Canada, and northern New York, it is one of the commonest species. I have caught at Binghamton, N. Y., as many as twenty-five or thirty specimens in the course of an hour. HAH. &. Morrison.
HENTz’s Sprpers.— The papers on Araneide of the United States, pub- lished many years ago in the Boston Journal of Natural History and else- where, are to be collected and reprinted in a single volume by the Boston Society of Natural History, and edited by the Secretary, Mr. Edward Burgess. The work will be published in June, and will contain about one huncred pages and nineteen plates, including two new plates, mostly of structural details, by Emerton, and all the old ones, either from the original copperplates or heliotype reproductions. Mr. Emerton will also contribute notes upon the species. B. Pickman Mann.

Notes on the Habits of Magdalinus armicollis Say.
EARLY in April, 1878, the full-grown larve of Magdalinus armicollis Say, were found abundantly throughout Cambridge, Mass., under the bark of Elm. The burrows were about an inch and a half long, running generally with the grain, and in the cambium layer throughout their entire length. From the cell at the end an exit pierced the bark as far as the thin outer layer. The beetles usually attacked the upper branches, but several small elms were found with the bark of the trunk undermined nearly to the ground. Occasional specimens were found associated with Saperda tridentata and Synchroa punc- tata in the thick bark of full-grown trunks.1
By the middle of April the larve showed signs of trans- forming; by the end of the month most of them had com- pleted the change into pupa, and the imagos appeared in about eighteen days. From May 1st to May 18th the follow- ing changes took place:
1. The eyes and mandibles turned black, and the extrem- ities of the wing-pads became bluish.
2. The thorax became reddish-brown, and the snout very dark brown or red.
3. The pupa-skin was cast off, and the wings and elytra straightened out.
4, The wings were folded under the elytra, and began to darken, showing a rectangular spot through each elytron.
5. The thorax darkened on the sides in two oval patches, leaving a line between, which gradually faded out; the spots on the elytra spread uniformly over their surfaces, leaving only their tips, which with the head were the last to become black.
The jet-black imagos emerged in great numbers from May

18th to May 28th, and sparingly during the first half of June. Owing probably to continued dry weather many imagos were unable to leave the bark, and occasionally one of the last to emerge was found with permanently dull-red elytra and thorax, or more commonly among the small males, with black thorax and red elytra. The imago varies from 3 to 6.25 millim. in length. The first pairs coupled, or showed signs of coupling, May 20th. The genitals were not kept continuously in contact, but a light touch was given at very regular intervals of two seconds, during which the male tapped the sides of the female with the tibie of the fore pair of legs.
The principal parasite observed was a Chalcid, probably belonging to the genus Storthygocerus Ratz., 1.5 to 2.5 millim, in length, which preys upon the larva of Magdalinus, and completes its transformations in advance of the beetle. It pupates about the first of May, the imagos appear about the 13th of the month, and by the first of June another brood of larvee appears preying upon the few pupe of Magdalinus which have not yet transformed. ‘T'wo other parasites upon the larva of Magdalinus appear to be ichneumons, one of which transforms within the larva-skin of its host, and the other weaves a pupa-case of its own. The imagos of the last two parasites do not appear before July, and were not ob-
served, H. G. Hubbard.
1. Ratzeburg (Forst-Insecten, I, 2te Aufl. p. 125. Taf. IV fig. 3.) describes the habits of M. violaceus Linn. living under the bark of Pine on small branches or young trees, and notes also M. aterrimus Fabr. as living in a similar manner upon Ulmus campestris of Europe. (1. c. p. 125.)
A very careful description, with figures, of MZ carbonarius Fabr. living on Pinus maritima, is given by E. Perris (Annales de la Soc. Ent. de France, 1856, p. 253 et seq )
Say, (M. armicollis Say, Journ. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philad., III, 1823, p. 312) has described only the red form, probably immature males. His MM. barbitus (Descr. of Curc. of N. Am., 1831, p. 6.) is probably the variation with red elytra and black thorax (all small immature males). It seems also that M. pallidus Say. (1. c. p. 7.) must be referred to this species.
ENTOMOLOGICAL EXCURSION TO Mr. WASHINGTON.— Some of the mem- bers of the Club, with other entomologists, will spend several weeks this summer on Mt. Washington, in a camp one-fourth of a mile below the Half-Way House, and two hundred feet from the carriage road They ex- pect to leave Boston June 25. Other entomologists are invited to join the party. B. Pickman Mann.

Collecting in the White Mountains.
Year after year, entomologists seek the summits of the White Mountains of New Hampshire in search of rare insects, and the number now known from that region is so great that catalogues have already become necessary. Very few persons, however, have attempted to separate collections obtained on the extreme heights from those obtained on the lower plateaus of the barren region, or at the heads of ravines; yet there are two well defined districts above the forest limits, and although most insects found above the trees are common to both regions, specimens of one should not be mingled with those of the other.
With a view of inducing those who visit the mountains this summer to help in the formation of distinctive alpine and subalpine lists, we offer (by the kind permission of Professor Charles H. Hitchcock of the New Hampshire Geological Survey) the accompanying map of the White Mountains, in which the alpine district is colored red and the subalpine blue. The subalpine district is the region of the dwarfed spruce, and includes the heads of the deepest ravines; the alpine is characterized by naked, broken masses of rock, excepting on the level spots, where sedges conceal them. Cneis semidea is confined to this highest district. Samuel H. Scudder.

Vernacular Names for Butterflies.
Ir may be that in England the native species of all classes of birds, butterflies, and flowers (and, I trust, of fishes like- wise) have received common English names.
My experience is that in continental countries of Europe a ereat many species, such as come under most frequent obser- vation of the public, have their common names and often three or four different names at a time, each according to provincialisms. A popular name of a fish is of acknowledged utility in a market, and could not be very well supplanted by a scientific one, yet without their scientific names being as- certained, there would be little comparison possible between markets West and East and those of Europe. The popular name under which a plant or butterfly is known cannot but have a charm even for a scientific searcher, and ought to be remembered by him and promulgated in print. But his task is to popularize science by utilizing such names, and by them to lead amateurs to awaken to the advantages of scientific nomenclature as one that is not provincial, nor exclusively English, but cosmological.
Amateurs cannot possibly take much interest until they begin to bring things into groups by their own observations of similarities, and later with scientific assistance into genera.
I want to have genuine popular names (be they ever so local, as ‘“‘ Camberwell Beauty ” for a butterfly that ranges all over Europe and over America to California) distinguished from names that are created more or less arbitrarily, or by merely translating scientific double names into the vernacular. The adoption and promulgation of these latter ones seems to me of very doubtful policy, as they do not harmonize with the originally popular names and may create, in an amateur’s
LO
mind, a greater difficulty of grouping the specimens. <A White Mountain butterfly (par excellence), a dull-eyed and a blue-eyed Grayling, an arctic Satyr, &c., &c., and Camber- well Beauty would lead soon to misunderstandings which could not be disentangled.
With reference to the latter, { ask, who here would willing- ly adopt such a name for the Antiopa of California?! Every person from Germany greets it here as “ Trauermantel” (mourning cloak), and may ask, perhaps, how is it called in English? Could I answer? So with “ Atalanta.” The same as at home, our ** Admiral?!’? How shall I name for them our five Papiliones, whom they all know as * Swallow- tails?”’ Philenor I name for them the green Swallow-tail.
Finally, let us remember and always print the ‘ popular” names, as a by-gift, but let us abstain from trying to create popular names, if it were even by translating the whole ot Kirby’s Catalogue into the vernacular,
To show that I myself am a lover of popular names, to which I always lend an attentive ear, I make free to add these following genuine ones, and to ask permission to report more from time to time, when memory serves me:
British Blondes, for the two Cononymphas ;
Buckeye, for Junonia Ceenia. James Behrens.
English Names for Butterflies. (Continued from page 3.) 9 Danaus Plexippus—— The Monarch.
D’Urban calls it the Storm Fritillary, but it is nota Fritillary. Gosse called it the Archippus, but this is not its proper name. It is one of the largest of our butterflies, and rules a vast domain.
10. Basilarchia Disippe— The Viceroy.
This name is suggested from its mimicry of the preceding species.
11.) Basilarchia Astyanax.— The red-spotted Purple.
This name was proposed by Gosse.
12. Basilarchia Arthemis—— The banded Purple.
Also proposed by Gosse.
13. Doxocopa Herse.— The tawny Emperor.
The species of this group are termed Emperors in England.
14. Polygonia interrogationis.— The Violet-tip.
A name well proposed by Gosse.
11
15. Polygonia Comma.— The orange Comma.
Proposed by Gosse.
16. Polygonia Faunus.— The green Comma.
Proposed by Gosse, in allusion to the green tinge on the under surface of both sexes, but especially of the male.
17. Polygonia Progne— The gray Comma.
Also proposed by Gosse.
18. Nymphalis J-album.— The Compton Tortoise.
Found abundantly by Gosse, in Compton, Canada, and thus named by him. S. H. Scudder.

ARREST OF DEVELOPMENT. Mr. B. P. Mann has recently received from Florida a caterpillar of ‘Papilio Cresphontes,” in which the front pair of prolegs is greatly aborted. The under surface of the third abdominal segment bears a pair of slight mammiform elevations, each with a sessile crescent of hooklets ; these can scarcely ever be brought into use, yet they are as well developed as usual, and the markings on the side of the prolegs show that no part is actually wanting, only all the fleshy parts are excessively short. The caterpillar is apparently in the final stage, but unfortunately arrived in a dying condition. S. H. Scudder.

Early Spring Butterflies at the White Mountains.
Durine four sunny days (June 2-5) spent in the Glen this spring, in a search for butterflies, the following species were noticed. The wild cherries were just blossoming.
Basilarchia Disippe. ‘Two or three larvee were seen on poplar, of just the same size as others of the next species near them.
Basilarchia Arthemis. The caterpillars were found not un- common upon the black birch; one upon poplar, on the same twig with Disippe. All had left their hibernacula, which pre- cisely resemble those of the preceding species, and had moulted at least once; the first moult almost invariably takes place on their emerging from winter quarters, as proved by the pellicle left upon the tip of the leaf forming the hibernaculum. As search for the caterpillar was the principal object of my visit, I must have examined nearly five thousand plants of black birch ; the result proves that the eggs are laid almost exclusively upon horizontally extended branches of small plants not more than two or three feet high, skirting the road-side, so that the cater- pillars must almost invariably be buried in snow the winter through. The caterpillars are generally lighter colored than those of the preceding species, but resemble them wonderfully. The first caterpillar changed to chrysalis the night of June 7th, and emerged the morning of the 18th.
Polygonia Faunus. The butterfly was very abundant, the males far exceeding the females in number; the latter were apparently not yet prepared to deposit their eggs.
Polygonia gracilis. This butterfly was rather common, and what is strange, many more females than males were taken ; they could not be induced to lay eges under muslin during my
14
short visit, and died just after the journey home. One left be- hind in a muslin bag, on willow, was found a week afterward, by Mr. Whitney, to have died without depositing. 2
Polygonia Progne. A single female was taken; it has never before been found in this region.
Nymphalis J-album. One or two specimens only were seen on the 4th, apparently just out of winter quarters; they appear later, I believe, than other hibernating Preefecti, and these were seen on the sunny side of a barn, which had probably served as their winter refuge.
Papilio Antiopa. Half a dozen specimens were seen.
Aglais Milberti. A single female was taken. S. H. Scudder.
EnromoLoeicaLt Excursion To WAvERLEY.— On the 7th of May the members of the Club, to the number of half a dozen, made an excur- sion to the vicinity of Waverley. The day proved unfavorable, as there was a raw wind which kept the insects out of sight, and,very little was accomplished.
Of Coleoptera very few specimens were taken, and those of common spe- cies, the most noteworthy being a specimen of Badister notatus, a species which is rare in this vicinity, and Dicelus elongatus, common about Waver- ley, though rare elsewhere in the vicinity of Boston.
Of Lepidoptera Mr. Morrison obtained a perfect specimen of Anticlea vasiliata Guen., a species not common in this vicinity.
Caterpillars of Basilarchia Disippe were obtained on three species of wil- lows, either eating the catkins for want of leaves, or still concealed in their hibernacula. The observations of the party showed that they hibernate both in the second and third stages, and that each makes a winter abode of just the size of its body, into which it crawls head foremost, and which it must vacate in the spring by a retreating movement. The caterpillar moults very soon after re-appearing, and one was found nearly half grown upon a twig still bearing only catkins. E. P. Austin.

At the entomological excursion to the vicinity of Cliftondale, Mass., on the 12th of June, 1873, so many species of beetles were found that it was thought a list of them might not prove uninteresting. This list includes all the species taken by the party, Messrs. Austin, Emerton, Moody, Munro and Henshaw. The numbers prefixed to the species are those of Crotch’s Cat- alogue. Many common species could probably be added, had
the list been contemplated at the time of collecting.

Early Spring Butterflies at the White Mountains.
(Continued from page 14.)
Limnecia Harristi. Last autumn I found the young caterpil- lars swarming upon Diplopappus winbellatus, at several points on the Glen road; in other places on the same road where Diplo- pappus grew, none could be found. This spring they were found in precisely the same localities as last autumn, and were absent from the others, proving that they must hibernate in close proximity to their birth place. They hibernate in their penultimate stage, probably in curled up dead leaves, and though several may be found on one plant in the spring, they do not then associate nor spin a web; when about to moult, the caterpillars leave the plant and retire to a dead stick or leaf for the change, and then return to their pasture ground. They were also found in great numbers on Diplopappus growing on the hill side bevond the foot bridge over the Androscoggin at Gorham. The first to change to chrysalis did so June 6th and emerged June 19th.
Huphydryas Phaeton. The caterpillars were found in con- siderable numbers in just as advanced a stage as those of the previous species, upon Lonicera ciliata ; as they were found only upon this plant, and in many different places, this is doubtless its proper spring food ; they fed in confinement on other species of Lonicera. The first butterfly emerged June 25th, after 17} days in chrysalis. Not a single caterpillar of this or the pre- ceding species or of Arthemis was found to be parasitized.
i
Cyaniris Lucia. Hundreds were seen every day, though no females were seen the first day, and but very few at all; they were easily taken with the fingers. The female was no- ticed in two or three instances, on the 5th, hovering about a particular species of plant by the roadside ; this was brought away for identification, but unfortunately lost.
Ganoris rape. Both sexes plenty and fresh, but almost ex- clusively confined to the neighborhood of houses or the high road, in contradistinction to the habits of the next species.
Ganoris oleracea. A few fresh specimens of both sexes were taken; the butterfly seemed to confine its wanderings to open places in the woods and to forsaken roads through them, seldom occurring in the same haunts with the last species.
Eupheades Glaucus. Two or three specimens were seen on the 5th, none before ; this day was much warmer than any of the previous, and doubtless was their birth-day.
Erynnis Icelus. A single specimen was seen on the 2d; three or four scen and captured on the 5d, all males ; on the 4th they were common and a single female taken; on the 5th nearly a hundred were seen and several of those captured were
females. S. H. Seudder.

On an Appendage of the male Leucarctia acraea.
Having occasion recently to examine the male genitalia of this species, I was surprised, on pressing the abdomen forcibly to'show the parts, to see project from between the lower part of the horny base of the claspers and the flap of skin which in most species is closely adherent to it, two long, singular organs, which I believe have not before been noticed.
They spring from the base of a pouch which is concealed between the last segments of the body, and formed by the con- tinuation of the external skin. When fully distended they are symmetrical, and curve gently downward and outward in the shape of a horn. They are each about 20 millim. in length, and at the base 2 millim. in diameter, gradually diminishing in thickness to the apex, which is obtuse.
The color of these organs and of the pouch is pale yellow, and the former are clothed with long (3 millim.) fine, sparsely scattered hair. Their distention is accomplished by the muscu- lar contraction of the walls of an internal sac with which they communicate, and which forces into them a yellow, strongly scented fluid. They have no external outlet, nor is this fluid secreted through the pores of the pouch; its only function in connection with them seems to be to fill and expand them.
Although I have examined a large number of living speci- mens, only one gave me the opportunity of watching the vol- untary protrusion of this appendage. The operation was interesting. The abdomen was slightly contracted, opening the orifice of the pouch, from which projected two tufts of black fine hair ; as the fluid forced its way out, the hairs, com- mencing at the base, separated and stood erect; the empty skin, bearing the constantly diminishing tuft, was quickly
bo bo
pushed on. The latter soon became a mere pencil, and when the skin was entirely filled it had disappearedy It remained distended a few seconds, and was then withdrawn; this was re- peated several times in rapid succession.
After discovering these organs in acrzea, I examined every species of Lepidoptera captured, in the hope of finding analo- gous ones in them. I was successful in the following three species: Danais erippus Cr., Agrotis plecta Linn., and Huplexia luctpara Linn. In the former the organs, though much smaller than in acrzea, were similar in form, and also clothed with scat- tered fine hair. But their position was very different; they were situated above, and one on each side of the anal parts, instead of beneath them. In plecta and lucipara they were in precisely the same position as in acrza, but entirely dissimilar in form. In plecta they consisted, when distended, of a single, short (1.5 millim.) protuberance, thickly clothed and concealed by a dense bush of fine radiating hair; it returned into the abdomen in the same manner as in acrza.
This structure is peculiar to the male sex, and is presumably connected in some way with the act of generation. As all the species which possess it are common, it is to be hoped that next season observations will be made upon it, which will help to determine its true function. H. K. Morrison.

Sines "Butterflies Ae Pe White | Mount
I am indebted to Mr. Scudder for the privilege of examining the advance sheets of his forthcoming paper on ‘¢ The Distribu- tion of the Insects in New Hampshire.’’ His labors on the mountain fauna have been so thorough that nearly all its char- acteristic features have been recorded, at least so far as the Diurnal Lepidoptera and Orthoptera are concerned. Still the collections made during the excursion of the Cambridge Ento- mological Club to Mt. Washington, from June 26 to July 11, this year, show the occurrence of one new form, and furnish data for the determination of the time of appearance and rela- tive abundance of many others. The following is a list of the butterflies taken at that time.
(Eneis semidea Say. Nothing new was discovered in regard to this species. The first specimens appeared about July 1st, and in a few days it became very abundant. Specimens were taken as low down as Sanborn’s camp, or about the middle of Mr. Sendder’s sub-alpine region. As semidea was the only butterfly captured in numbers, which has its habitat on the upper portion of the mountain, but little can be produced, as far as the Diurnals are concerned, either in favor of, or against the presence of two distinct faunal areas above the tree line ; but in a list of the Noctuide to appear in a future number of Psycur, I have some observations to offer on the distribution of the moths, which bear on this point.
Enodia eurydice Linn. Two specimens captured in low swampy fields, — one below the first saw mill, on June 29, an- other near the Glen House, on July 2.
Phyciodes tharos Drury. Common in the Glen.
Phyciodes harristi Scudd. This species was found inhabiting
the same restricted localities in which Mr. Scudder observed the larve in the spring. From June 27 to July 4 the imagines were emerging, and in fine condition. After this date many poor ones began to be found.
Phyciodes nycteis Doubl. & Hew. Two in very poor condi- tion were taken on July 2, on the Glen road, about one mile before the second saw-mill.
Melitewa phaeton Drury. Found abundantly on July 4, in a swamp situated on the Glen road, about four miles from Gor- ham. On July 5 specimens were also taken just above the Glen House, in a similar locality.
Argynnis myrina Cram. More or less common in swamps in the valley.
Argynnis montinus Scudd. A specimen which I have not seen, probably of this species, was caught above the Half Way House, by Mr. Dimmock on July 12, after the rest of the party had gone.
Argynnis atlantis Edw. Began to appear about June 29, and in a few days became common. It was taken throughout the valley, and about two miles up the mountain.
H. K. Morrison.

Nove ties in Amuerst, Mass.— So far as known, the following spe- cies have not been taken hitherto in this vicinity: Vanessa cardui, 2, July 28th, and both sexes afterward. Junonia coenia, 2, July 25th, on thistles — alar expanse 1.80; 3, somewhat worn, Aug. 4th, caught flying after severe chase — al. ex. 1.90; several others seen on roads. Huptoieta claudia, 2, on thistles, Aug. 83d —al. ex. 2.40. Cyaniris sp?, 2, on Mt. Holyoke, June 25th — like neglecta, but uniform dusky gray beneath, a lighter shade edging the spots, and preceding the crescents; above, dusky gray in place of white. Cyaniris sp?, 7, Pelham hills, Aug. 17th —like neglecta, except the primaries above are much deeper blue, mixed with dusky. Neither of these is lucia, nor agrees satisfactorily with named specimens of violacea from W. H. Edwards. In regard to violacea, I have a % specimen, dated June 1, found here. Achalarus Lycidas, ¢,.on Mt. Holyoke, June 25th. Pholisora Catullus, 3, in June; not rare on and after July 30. Anthomas- ter Leonardus, 4 3, mentioned only as early for the species as recorded, Pel- ham hills, Aug. 17th. Prof. S. H. Peabody has taken Amblyscirtes Samoset and Poanes Massasoit in this place, one specimen of each. H. W. Parker.

BUTTERFLIES ATTRACTED BY LAMpP-LIGHT.— By permission of the keeper, I recently visited Sankaty Light, Nantucket. to collect moths. Un- fortunately the night was clear, though only starlight, and between eight and nine o’clock only two moths (Noctuids) came to the lantern. Since then, however, on the cloudy and unusually warm night of Sept. 11th, in- sects were so numerous as to give the keepers much trouble by obstructing the flow of the oil in the lamp; and the under keeper, Mr. Frank B. Mur- phy, came afterward to see me, bringing a tin box containing a dozen living specimens of Nymphalis J-album taken at night in the lantern, saying that these had given most trouble; hundreds had flown into the lantern. I do not recollect to have heard a similar instance of the attraction of butterflies to light. Sankaty is a powerful flash light, and is visible over a &reat part of the island. S. H. Scudder.

ON THE OCCURRENCE OF COCHINEAL IN THE NortTHERN UNITED States. — In the northwestern part of Nebraska and the adjacent part of Dakota, are large areas thickly covered with several species of Cactaceae, on which I was surprised to find Cochineal in considerable quantities. As red paint is a favorite article of use among the Indians, I inquired of sev- eral men who were familiar with the Indians of the plains, both Sioux and Pawnees, if the Indians made use of the cochineal, but none of them had ever seen or heard of its use.
At that time the fact of the occurrence of this insect in such high lati- tudes was quite new to me, nor have I since seen any statement in print of its occurrence in the United States, except in Southern California, though I have learned from collectors that it is not uncommon in Kansas and southwards. I have therefore thought a brief notice of the fact might be acceptable.
The occurrence of this insect in such a region suggests a possible indus- try at some future time, when the Great West shall be settled up, as in this region very little can be cultivated, and if cochineal can be produced it may be worth trying. E. P. Austin.

English Names for Butterflies. (Contin ued from page 11.) 19. Papilio Antiopa.— The Camberwell Beauty.
The well known English name, worth importing, although local, and hav- ing a special significance for England only. It has also been called the Mourning Cloak, an expressive name, but translated from the German,
20. Aglais Milbertiim The nettle Tortoise-shell.
Called Milbert’s butterfly by Harris, and the forked butterfly by Gosse, the last in allusion to the name given by Say. The caterpillar feeds, as is well known, on nettle.
21. Vanessa Atalanta.— The red Admiral.
The English name.
22. Vanessa Huntera.— The painted Beauty.
A name well proposed by Gosse, indicating its relation to the next spe- cies. Harris simply called it Hunter’s butterfly.
23. Vanessa cardui.— The painted Lady.
The English name for this cosmopolitan butterfly. Harris called it the thistle butterfly.
24. Junonia Coenia.— The Buckeye.
Mr. Behrens says this is an English name for this insect. I have never heard of it, and give it only on his testimony. S. H. Scudder.

Re-discovery of Cicindela limbata Say.
Morse than fifty years ago Say described, from the collections of Long’s expedition to the Rocky Mountains, an insect under the name of Cicindela limbata. As is well known, the collec- tions of Say have all been destroyed, and from that day to this, though half a century has elapsed, and the country, which at that time was the almost unknown confines of the republic, has become its geographical centre, and is as well known as the Atlantic coast was then, no collector has ever taken any such insect, and no doubt the question has arisen in the minds of Entomologists, were the observations of Say im error? or has the species become eatinct ? °
As the Cicindelidae are favorites with collectors, and the spe- cies noted is strikingly different from any known forms, it might be supposed that we had here a case of the extinction of a spe- cies, a thing not unknown among Vertebrates, bat for which the data are wanting as yet among insects.
Last summer, while engaged on the survey of the North Boundary of Nebraska, I visited one of the numerous hills of drifting sand with which a large part of that section is covered, when I saw a Cicindela fy up, which was evidently quite dif- ferent from anything I had ever seen before ; on following it, it alighted on a steep slope of bare sand, where, after some exer- tion, I succeeded in capturing it. By going over the sand, I saw others, and during the time I remained in that vicinity — about an hour—they increased in frequency, @ circumstance which I thought due to disturbing them in their hiding places by trampling the sand.
The next day I contemplated visiting the locality again, but it proved cloudy and unpleasant, and the following day we left
34
that section, and soon after passed out of the sand hills, though one day we went through a considerable stretch of them, and I looked for the species again, but only saw two or three speci- mens, singly, in similar situations. :
On my return, I compared it with the figures in LeConte’s ‘** Revision of the Cicindele of the United States,” in Trams. Amer. Philos. Soc., vol. xi (1857), p. 27, which showed that it was a species unknown to Dr. LeConte at that time, and on comparison with the description of CO. limbata Say, it proved to
be the long lost species.
_ It may appear singular that the species should have remained undetected so long, but owing to its small size and great activ- ity, as well as because it probably is confined to the barren sand hills, which are not promising regions to collect in, it is evident that, but for its accidental discovery, it might have remained undetected much longer. E. P. Austin.
Summer Butterflies at the White Mountains.
(Continued from page 26.)
Nymphalis milberti Godt. A single specimen was takem on July 1, near the first saw-mill. Another was seen a day or two before in the same locality, but not captured.
Polygonia interrogationis Fabr. One specimen found on July 5, among the rocks, on the ridge near the summit. It had undoubtedly flown up from the valley.
Polygonia faunus Edw. On the arrival of the party, ragged and battered females of this species were excessively common in the Glen, and as high up as the Half Way House, but they soon disappeared.
Polygonia gracilis G. and R. was not seen.
Basilarchia disippe Godt. One specimen observed at the entrance to the Glen, near Gorham, June 26.
Basilarchia arthemis Drury. It was interesting to observe the gradual progress of this species up the Glen ‘and mountain, with the season. During the first days none were caught in the valley, though they were carefully looked for. But at Bethel, on the borders of the mountainous region, they were seen several times from the cars on June 26.
35
About July 1, isolated specimens were noticed in the lower part of the valley; after a day or two specimens were also caught near the Glen House, and had become common below it. On July 4, the first were taken above the Glen House, and on July 6, the first on the base of the mountain. After this date they were extremely common in the valley, and for about two miles up Mt. Washington.

English Names for Butterflies.
(Continued from page 81.)
25. Euptoieta Claudia.— The variegated Fritillary.
A name proposed by Gosse.
26. WSpeyeria Idalia— The regal Fritillary.
This most superb of all Fritillaries deserves such a designation.
27. <Argynnis Cybele.— The great spangled Fritillary.
Proposed by Gosse.
28. Argynnis Aphrodite.— The silver-spot Fritillary.
Also proposed by Gosse.
29. Argynnis Atlantis— The mountain Silver Spot.
30. Brenthis Myrina.— The silver-bordered Fritillary.
Called by Gosse the pearl-bordered Fritillary, but the spots are of the color of those of No. 28 rather than of No. 33.
31. Brenthis Montinus.— The dappled Fritillary.
32. Brenthis Bellona.— The meadow Fritillary.
Jn allusion to its exclusive resort.
83. Phyciodes Tharos.— The pearl Crescent.
Called by Gosse the pearl-crescent Fritillary, but the name of Fritillary belongs more appropriately to the species of Argynnis and Brenthis; or at least it is best that two groups of genera should not be confounded by the application of a sifigle English word having a generic sense.
34. Phyciodes Batesiii— The tawny Crescent.
The characteristic spot on the border of the under surface of the hind wing civing its name to the last species, is usually tawny in this.
35. Charidryas Nycteis.— The silver Crescent.
36. Limnecia Harrisii. — Harris's butterfly.
37. Huphydryas Phaeton.— The Baltimore.
Called the Baltimore Fritillary by Gosse, in allusion te its colors. 38. Libythea Bachmanii.— The snout butterfly.
A not very elegant name, proposed by Gosse.

Notes on White Mountain Noctuidae.
The number of species of Noctuidae taken on the excursion of our Club at Mt. Washington was very small in comparison with that which is known to occur there, and this poor suc- cess was mainly due to the difficulties which rendered almost impracticable the tse of “sugar” and “light” in capturing them. However, of those secured, some were new to science, many were rare, and all deserve mention. Particular interest attaches to the distribution of the species whieh are peculiar to the mountain fauna, and as, fortunately, many of these were taken in the pupal state (through the kindness of the coleopte- rists of the expedition), we are able to fix beyond question their true habitat and the feeding place of their larve.
The notes attached to each species show that those of which two or more specimens were captured were found indifferently over the upper part of the mountain, and that therefore the presence of two distinct faunal areas above the tree line was not indicated, at least for the family to which our observations are confined.
The great preponderance of the higher genera will be no- ticed, and this proportion holds good in the north temperate countries of Europe and Asia as well as America; the lower forms appear more numerously as the climate becomes warmer, attaining their greatest development in the tropics.
The following is a complete list of the species :
Pseudothyatira cymatophoroides Guen. Two specimens of the typical form were taken at sugar in the Glen; one showed a marked approach to the var. expultrix Grote, which was com- mon in the same locality, and also near the Half-way House,
from July 3 to 10.
42
Gonophora scripta Gosse. Common in the Glen and near the camp, at sugar and light. This species occurs very rarely near Boston.
Jaspidea lepidula Grote. <A single specimen of this rare and beautiful species was captured at sugar, near the Glen House, on June 29.
Lithacodia bellicula Hiibn. Not uncommon in the Valley.
Microcoelia fragilis Guen. One specimen caught on the car- riage road near the two mile mark ; others were found at the head of Tuckerman’s Ravine, and near the seven mile mark. The occurrence of this species at this height is very interest- ing; it is also found in various localities in the Middle and Western States.
Acronycta dactylina Grote. A pair was taken at sugar near the second saw mill, on June 30. This species approaches very closely indeed to A. rubricoma Guen.
Acronycta brumosa Guen. Grote and Robinson’s A. Verrillt is identical with Guenée’s species. The only specimen seen was taken by Mr. J. C. Munro, near the Half-way House, on July 1.
Acronycta superans Guen. One perfect example of this handsome insect was found by Mr. Austin, clinging to some rocks near the Summit House, on July 3.
Agrotis scropulana Morr. Seven pup were found; three on the Ledge, and the others on the bridle path, for some dis- tance beyond the seven mile mark. The moths emerged in Cambridge trom July 12 to 20; their delicate shades of brown, blue and creamy white, place them among the most beautiful of our Noctuidae.
Agrotis opipara Morr. Of this species, which almost ap- proaches its congener in beauty, five pupe were found; one on the Ledge, two above this locality, by Mr. Emerton, and two by ourselves, buried deeply beneath the moss on one of the numerous plats of sedge, a few hundred feet below the summit. The perfect insects came out at the same time as those of the preceding species.
Agrotis okakensis Pack. One pupa of this rare species was found by Mr. Emerton above the Ledge ; it emerged on July
43
10. This is the first record of its occurrence at the White Mountains ; the specimen, compared with one received from Labrador, through the kindness of Mr. Herman Strecker, and with Dr. Packard’s type from the same locality, shows little or no variation.
Polia perquiritata Morr. One specimen taken at light, near the Half-way House on July 6.
Anarta melanopa Thunb. We found this typical subalpine species, which also flies in Labrador, on the mountains of Col- orado and on the Alps, distributed over the mountain above the tree line, and in one case below it. The following are all the localities in which it was observed: on the Ledge, three or four worn specimens from July 1 to 3; a few feet above “ San- born’s Camp”’; on the flat land in the neighborhood of Wiley’s House, and here feeding with Chion. semidea on the flowers of Cassiope hypnoides Don.; among the rocks near the Summit House ; over the entire southern slope of the mountain, from the carriage road to the edge of the ravines ; down the precip- itous descent into Tuckerman’s Ravine, one specimen was taken at the foot, among birches two or three feet high.
Plusia mappa G. & R. One specimen was found by Mr. Blanchard on a shrub near the carriage road, on June 29, another was taken at sugar near the camp, on July 6.
Pteroscia atrata Morr. A pupa found on the Ledge pro- duced this species ; a worn specimen was also captured at light near the camp, on July 8.
Huclidia cuspidea Guen. Common in dry fields in the Glen.
H. K. Morrison. English Names for Butterflies.
(Continued from page 40.)
39. Polystichtis borealis.—The large Metal-mark.
This is Grote’s name. I had ealled it the Steel-speck. Both names are in allusion to the metallic dots with which the wings are covered.
40. Theela Ontario—The northern Hair-streak.
41. Thecla Liparops.—The white-striped Hair-streak.
Called the streaked Thecla, by Harris.
42. Thecla Edwardsii.icEdwards’ Hair-streak.
43. Thecla Calanus.—The banded Hair-streak.
44. Thecla acadica.—The Acadian Hair-streak.
44
45. Callipareus Melinus.—The gray Hair-streak, Called the hop-vine Thecla by Harris.
46. Mitoura smilacis.—The oliye Hair-streak, Called the Auburn Thecla by Harris.
47. Incisalia Augustus.—The brown Elfin,
48. Incisalia Niphon.—The banded Elfin.
49. Incisalia Irus.—The hoary Elfin.
00. Krora leta.—The spring Beauty.
Derived from the generic name.
51. Strymon Titus.—The coral Hair-streak.
Gosse’s name.
52. Lyceides Scudderiii—The pearl-studded Violet, 53. Glaucopsyche Pembina.—The silver Blue.
54. Cyaniris pseudargiolus.—The southern Azure, Called the pale Azure by Gosse.
55. Cyaniris neglecta.The pale Azure,
56. Cyaniris violacea.—The dotted Azure,
57. Cyaniris Lucia.—The spring Azure.
This is Gosse’s name. It was called the blue Lucia by Harris, 08. Hveres Comyntas.—The tailed Blue,
59. Chrysophanus Hyllus.—The bronze Copper. 60. Chrysophanus Epivanthe.—The marsh Copper, 61. Lycena americana.—The American Copper. This is Harris’s name. It was called the small Copper by Gosse, 62. Feniseca Tarquinius.—The Wanderer,
This is Grote’s name and very appropriate, considering the appearances of the insect in many detached and widely separated loealities. I had
called it the Piebald, trom the odd distribution of its colors. SS. H. Scudder, (To be continued.)

Deseaiuan of ‘the Lana of ‘Galerita ‘Janus.
Head of medium size, flat, semicircular, somewhat enlarged anteriorly, with a short, poiearical basal neck ; above, sparingly covered with short black hairs ; depressed in the middle ; sides and base rounded, convex ; branches of the Y suture protruded interiorly in the middle, where a small black dot is to be seen, ending inside of the elevated, somew hat cylindrical, anterior angles of the head, where the antenne are inserted ; above the anterior border, a horny prolongation nearly as long as the head, conical at the base, the apical half bifarcated, each branch with two bristles on the under surface, one nearly terminal, the other a short distance behind the first ; jast behind the insertion of the antenna, six oval ocelli arranged around a low, conical ele- vation, in two transverse series, the middle pair more widely separate than the upper or lower ones ; on the upper sarface of the head, within and behind the ocelli, on each. side, a longer bristle; head beneath flat; on each side near the base, two bristles on short pointed tubereles.
Antenne twice as long as the head, of four cylindrical joints, the first nearly equal to the two following united, the second half as long, and the third more than half as long as the first, the fourth yery small, lozenge-shaj sed; the first and second straight, the first with three equidistant interior bristles and two internal and two or three external finer bristles near the apex, the second with one prominent and several finer bristles, the third and fourth joints bent downwards and outwards, with more numerous, very long and fine hairs, in the fourth inserted upon two internal, one external and one terminal tubercles.
Labrum rudimentary, a small, transverse plate, turned back, with rounded angles and under surface densely covered with
50
minute hooks; two acute teeth each side on the head, beneath the bifurcated prolongation, one near the labrum, the other further off and nearer the border.
Mandibles longer than the head, sickle-shaped, pointed, with a stout internal tooth near the middle.
Maxille cylindrical, about as thick and as long as the first joint of the antenne, slightly curved inwards, bearing midway a stout external bristle, and near the apex two or three inter- nal and one external bristles, the whole joint scatteringly covered with fine short hairs, the extremity with two appendages, the external, or palpus, of four joints increasing slightly in length, the first two bearing one or two bristles, the last two without hairs, the internal, or maxillary lobe, of two joints, the terminal long, slender and pointed, each with a bristle.
Labium with an elongated mentum and two diverging, elon- gated, cylindrical palpus-bearing pieces united nearly to their apices by a membrane prolonged beyond them in a fleshy ligula, terminating in a bristle ; labial palpi of two joints, the first once and a half as long as the second.
Thoracic segments above, horny, flattened, covered with short pubescence.
Prothorax elongated, narrow in front, gradually enlarged, widest shortly before the base, where it equals the head in width ; angles rounded; on each side of the median line several scar-like depressions.
Mesothorax and metathorax together as long as the prothorax, somewhat broader, narrowed before, with rounded angles; me- sothorax a little longer and narrower than the metathorax ; both with slight depressions on each side.
Abdomen as long as the head and thorax together, flattened, in the middle as wide as the prothorax, gradually narrowed be- fore and behind; segments with horny, transverse shields above and below, finely rugose, and scatteringly covered with short, spiny hairs, more conspicuous at the borders ; the terminal, ninth segment shorter and narrower than the others, with a tubular anus, and two very long, filiform appendages of more than twenty-five very unequal articulations, each furnished with a bristle (apex wanting).
51 P
Stigmata nine pairs, the first, upon the mesothorax, very large, oblong, oblique, visible from below, the others on segments one to eight of the abdomen, the first oval, half as large as the mesothoracic, the rest small, circular.
Legs slender, half as long as the body, increasing in length posteriorly ; femora stout, anterior longest, flattened anteriorly ; tibize cylindrical, about as long as the femora; tarsi cylindrical, longer than the tibize, the two joints equal in length, the termi- nal slender, tapering uniformly, with two small apical hooks ; legs, except the anterior femora, hairy, more densely on the terminal joints.
Femora of the fore legs with four strong, straight spines on the anterior border, united at their bases and tipped with a bristle, the three anterior subequal, the fourth smaller, the two anterior closer together. Tibize of fore legs obsoletely serrate pos- teriorly, with four or five bristle-bearing denticulations.
Length, exclusive of appendages, 17 millimetres.
Body very dark brown, opaque, having in life a bluish reflec- tion as in the imago, the head and prothorax honey yellow, with a faint brown patch in front of the eyes, and the first two joints of the antenne more or less darkened, especially towards their apices, the prothorax with a dark brown transverse band, deeply tri-lobed posteriorly, divided by the median furrow, not quite attaining the border on the sides, and covering the apical third. The fore legs clear yellow, like the head and prothorax, the ter- minal joint uniformly darkened, and the two preceding only towards their apices: The remaining legs dark brown, testa- ceous at the joints. The long first joint of the terminal appendages clear yellow, the succeeding joints dark brown except at their junction with each other.
This description is made from three larve preserved in alco- hol, and the skin of a fourth from which the imago was raised, none of which have the caudal appendages entire. They were found in the latter part of July, at Detroit, Michigan, under the* loose bark of damp and rotten logs, where by the 16th of August the pups were found in unlined cells, formed by the movement of the larvee. Two days later the imago appeared.
On comparison with a larva from Kansas, probably of G.
52
atripes or G. bicolor, in the alcoholic collection of the Museum of Comp. Zoél. at Cambridge, I can find but slight differences. The Kansas species is somewhat more elongated in all its parts, and the spines of the anterior femora are slightly curved back- wards ; the dark band on the prothorax is much reduced in size, and the caudal appendages are more testaceous ; they have thirty- three articulations. The specimen is much denuded of its bris- tles, but those that remain correspond in position with those of G.janus. In general, the characters given by Chapuisand Can- déze for G. Leconte’ agree with those of G. Janus, but many of the details given above for G.janus are not mentioned in the description of G. Lecontei. Sallé’s figure of the latter, re- produced in Packard’s ‘* Guide’, is certainly unreliable, and strangely exaggerated in the attenuation of its parts. The larva figured in the ** Guide”, Appendix, p. 713, fig. 667, can-
not be a Galerita, H, G. Hubbard.

ORGAN OF THE CAMBRIDGE ENTOMOLOGICAL CLUB. EDITED BY B. PICKMAN MANN.

A North Greenland Butterfly.
The recent polar expedition of Captain Hall,in the U.S. Steamer Polaris, brought home from Polaris Bay, Lat. 81° 38! N., two specimens, male and female, of Brenthis polaris (Boisd.) ~ —the most northern butterfly known.
The male is badly rubbed, but evidently differs, as the fresher female does, from Labrador specimens, in being of a much duller color upon both surfaces of the wings. The upper surface of the male, in Labrador specimens, is bright orange fulvous, that of the females a little duller; while in these Greenland exam- ples the color is a dull sordid fulvous, almost changing to ashen in the fore-wings of the female. The dark markings of the upper surface in both sexes are not so dark in the Greenland as in the Labrador specimens, and, with some exceptions, they are also slightly narrower ; the transverse markings in the cell of the fore wings in both sexes are noticeably slenderer, but the mesial band of the fore wings, besides being less irregularly zigzag, is broad- ened in the posterior half of the wing, at least in the female, and its border more obscured by scattered griseous scales ; the mesial band of the hind wing is, however, narrower than in Labrador specimens, and there is therefore a greater extent of fulvous surface, but that is greatly obscured by griseous scales; the roundish spots of the extra-mesial row are rather larger than usual in the female.
Beneath, similar differences occur. The general color is duller than on the upper surface, though not to so great an ex- tent, and the contrasts of the dark and bright markings are not so noticeable as in Labrador specimens. On the fore wings, the lower portion of the mesial band is broader, as on the upper surface, and the extra-mesial spots are also larger, especially

below, and in the female; the sub-marginal blackish spots are much less conspicuous than the extra-mesial series, while in Labrador specimens they are usually the same. On the hind wings, the differences are more marked, especially in the female, where the markings are, as it were, blended; this effect is mostly produced by the white spots surmounting the extra-mesial series of black markings, which, in Labrador specimens, are almost wholly confined to the basal side of the spots, while in the Greenland individuals, not only do the white markings extend closer to the mesial band, but follow down the sides of the spots and extend along the nervures, narrowing as they go, almost to the outer border; thus the saffron which usually follows these spots on the outer side, in Labrador specimens, is almost wholly interchanged for whitish in the Greenland forms.
The principal differences, then, between these far northern representatives of the species and the typical Labrador forms consist in a dulling or fading of the colors and of the colorational contrasts, a partial suffusion of the markings, and a more or less conspicuous infuscation of the wings by a sprinkling of sordid or griseous scales.

This butterfly was first described by Boisduval, as coming from ‘* Cap Nord ;” afterwards it is quoted by him from the same place and from the Norwegian Alps; and again, in his Icones, from “ ia partie la plus septentrionale de la Laponie, au Cap Nord, et au Labrador.” No other author, as far as I have noticed, records it from Europe. Staudinger, in his catalogue, gives as localities: ‘‘ Labr.; ? Lap. s.?; ? Sib. s. or,” showing that he knows it only from Labrador. Méschler gives it only from Labrador. Schilde does not record it in his exhaustive catalogue of N. Finland Lepidoptera, and it is not given as an inhabitant of Greenland, either by Staudinger in his list of Greenland Lepidoptera, or by Schiddte in Rinks’s Greenland. Dr. Packard says that in Labrador it is found from Square Island, 2. e. from the northernmost point of the Straits of Belle Isle, northward. It is probably an exclusively American in- sect, confined to the coldest regions, or ‘ barren lands,” and excluding the southern peninsula of Greenland. Boisduval says he received his specimens from Sommer and Eschscholtz, the

on
former of whom, at least, was in the habit of receiving speci- mens from Labrador, and by some accident, the earlier localities may have been given erroneously. Samuel H. Scudder.

§ 1. Prorrr Woop ror Insect-BoxEs.—A discussion of the merits of different woods for use in the construction of insect boxes showed a preference among the members of the Club for the woods of the Aspen (Populus tremuloides), Tulip (Liriodendron tulipifera) and Bass-wood (Tilia americana). Baron Osten Sacken says that the resin contained in pine wood (Pinus strobus) exhales as a vapor, which eventually combines with the fat of the specimens enclosed in the box and renders them greasy. It was suggested that a number of persons who wished to have boxes made of these woods should combine together to purchase some trees for the pur- pose, as these woods are not gencrally offered for sale in the market.

§2. Ocyrres SEMINOLE IN MassacnuseTtTs. Mr. S. H. ScuppEer exhibited a single female of Ocytes Seminole taken by Mr. R. Thaxter in the marshes near Belmont, Mass. It has not before been recorded north of Florida, and in its markings stands midway between specimens from Flor- ida and Texas, exhibited with it. Other species of the genus were also shown for comparison.
Dr. Hagen said that Florida Pseudo-Neuroptera are found on Cape Cod.
Mr. Scudder remarked that southern butterflies not infrequently occur in a narrow belt of country near the sea shore, as far north as New Hamp- shire.
§ 8. Prornoracic GLANDS IN LepipopTrRous Larve. Mr. S. H. ScuppER exhibited an inflated caterpillar of Argynnis Cybele, in which the prominence often seen on the under surface of the first thoracic seg- ment of butterfly caterpillars was unusually large, and presented a trans- verse slit. It is probable that this organ secretes fluid for softening the leaf before eating, and Mr. Scudder queried whether the glands which supplied the fluid might not bear some relation to those which feed the osmateria of the Equites. Mr. Guenée had described an extensile pro- tuberance with a transverse slit on the dorsum of the seventh abdominal segment in the larva of a European Lyecaena, which when subjected to pressure emits a fluid.

ORGAN OF THE CAMBRIDGE ENTOMOLOGICAL CLUB. EDITED BY B. PICKMAN MANN.
Vol. LJ Cambridge, Mass., May, 1875. [No. 13.
On the relation between European and American Noctuina.
Dr. A. Speyer gives (Stett. Entom. Zeit., 1875. Jan.— March) the first part of an interesting communication, a report on the general results of which, containing some new and im- portant facts, will perhaps draw the attention of American lepidopterologists to the observation of them in the next sum- mer. ‘The genital appendages were not examined, because the material in Dr. Speyer’s hands was not rich enough; he leaves the examination of those parts to other entomologists.
Differences in the form are rarely to be found; most of the differences concern the color, the pattern and the shape of the wings, all of which are most easily affected in local varieties. The palpi and antennz of the males are the next variable characters.
The most important difference observed by Dr. Speyer con- sists in a slight and even not generally constant modification in the mixture of the predominant colors.
The predominant colors of the Noctuina are a mixture of black, white and red, also gray and brown, grayish brown or reddish brown. In the American species less red is to be found, and more blackish, in the European less black and more reddish ; these colors are to be observed commonly on the abdomen and the hind wings. The brownish gray of the European species is changed in the American species into pure gray or blackish gray. The reddish hue on the gray underside of the wings in many brown species, chiefly near the veins, is in the American species fainter or wanting. The reddish brown of the dorsum and fore wings changes in the American species into grayish, blackish or bluish. The color of the American
66
species is darker by a larger proportion of black ; even the pat- tern (the lunules and arrow lines) is often more strongly developed in American species by being of a deeper black. The transverse lines and the spots are more visible by having stronger blackish borders.
In the colors made of a mixture of yellow and red, Dr. Speyer observed just the opposite change. In the American species the red is predominant and the black more evanescent ( Orthosia ferrugineoides, Hydroecia nictitans, Plusia.Putnami, Brephos infans).
The difference in the shape of the wings, if present, consists mostly in the American species having broader and shorter wings.
Dr. Speyer believes that the modification in the mixture of the grayish and reddish colors is alone of importance, as he observed it, with few exceptions, in the larger part of the species compared.
He is not certain about the cause which produces the fact, but he believes that the two climates of America and Europe are well represented by the fact. It is generally observed that the color grows darker and more blackish to the north or at higher elevations, but it is not certain whether this is produced by the stronger and colder winter, as in some species ( Vanessa prorsa, Polyommatus Phlaeas) it is the summer generation which is more blackish.
Dr. Speyer considers the climate of Europe as presenting a more insular character, the climate of America a more conti- nental character. The fauna of Siberia should have nearly the same difference from that of Europe as the fauna of America has, but the fauna of Siberia is still too imperfectly known to allow of sure conclusions. The little that is known of it, how- ever, is in favor of Dr. Speyer’s remarks. Nearly all the species which he was able to examine came from the eastern part of the Union; perhaps the fauna of the western parts would give a more conclusive result.
A difficulty in the exact comparison of the North American and European species consisted in the fact that most of the American Noctuina were specimens collected in the field,
“~
67
most of the European specimens were raised. Raised speci- mens differ from collected ones mostly by a smaller size, but even the shape of the wings is different; the wings are shorter in relation to the body, the anterior angles ‘more pointed, the indentations of the border deeper and more pointed. Such modifications also change the pattern somewhat, especially the relative situation of the lines and spots. It seems, after alls that only raised specimens should be compared with raised ones, or those caught in the field with caught ones. The very lack of such specimens prevented him from giving a certain opinion upon Taeniocampa incerta.
There were fifty-one American species compared.
Twenty are considered identical with European species: Leucania pallens, Agrotis C-nigrum, A. plecta, A. saucia, A. segetum, A. ypsilon, Aplecta prasina, Mamestra_ trifolit, M. dissimilis, Hadena lateritia, Hydroecia nictitans, Euplexia lucipara, Dipterygia pinastri, Heliothis armigera, Scoliopteryx libatrix, Amphipyra tragopoginis, and four species for which the American habitat is still doubtful: Aporophyla australis, Ma- mestra thalassina, Hadena polyodon, Hremobia ochroleuca.
Sixteen are considered surely different species: Thyatira seripta, Acronycta occidentalis (pst), A. brumosa (auricoma), Agrotis obtusa (triangulum), Mamestra nimbosa (nebulosa), M. imbrifera, Hadena lignicolorana (sublustra), Cucullia asteroides (asteris), C. intermedia (lucifuga), Hrastria musculosa ( pyg- arga), Abrostolis urentis (asclepiadis), Plusia contexta ( festu- cae), P. Putnami, Amphipyra pyramidoides (pyramidea), Riv- ula propinqualis (sericealis), Brephos infans and var. Hama- dryas (Parthenias).
Of the others Dr. Speyer has not yet fixed his opinion. He considers as local varieties, till better information is obtained, six: Caradrina miranda (lepigone), Taeniocampa incerta, Agro- tis augur var. grandis, A. baja, Hadena finitima, Plusia gamma var. Californica. In the same manner he considers as differ- ent species, nine: Caradrina Mesket, Orthosia ferrugineoides, Agrotis clandestina, Mamestra subjuncta, Hadena devastator, Pyrrhia exprimens, Plusia brassicae, Calpe Canadensis, Sa- rothripus Lintnerana.
68
Of seventeen species quoted by Grote as identical with Euro- pean species, Dr. Speyer has not yet seen specimens.
Of course the detailed exposition for each species can not be given in a short report.
{Much to our regret, since we desire to have no anonymous articles in PSYCHE, the au- thor of the above report declined to allow his name to be appended to it. Ed.]
Varieties of Cleora pulchraria Minot.
This beautiful species stands entirely alone in our fauna, as it is our only representative of a remarkable European genus, of which the most prominent structural characters are the strongly pectinate antenne of the male and the extruded ovi- positor of the female. In this part of Massachusetts the insect appears to be quite rare, and local in its distribution ; this is probably due to the fact that the larve feed on pine; but I have been able to obtain, in September and October, resting on the trunks of a grove of these trees, behind the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Cambridge, nearly two hundred speci- mens of the moths. One must naturally expect, in the colloc- ation of so many specimens, to see a certain number of aberrant forms, but I was by no means prepared to find the extraordi- nary amount of variation actually exhibited. I give a short description of the general plan of the simple ornamentation of the species, in order that the variations from it may be more readily appreciated. The anterior wings are crossed by two distinct black lines, the interior lobate, the exterior sharply dentate between the nervules; between them the discal dot is always seen, very black and conspicuous; the posterior wings have the discal dot, and following it a single median dentate line. The features most liable to vary are as follows, the most inconstant being placed first: the ground color, the structure and proximity of the median lines, the color of the vertex and front, and the shape of the wings. Before mentioning each individual variety, I would remark that no class of variations is confined to either sex; both sexes appear to vary within the same limits and to the same extent.
The ground color, which shows the greatest diversity, in the normal form is white, more or less thickly sprinkled with black
69
atoms; the base of the posterior wings is always more free from them than are the other parts of the wings. In one form the black atoms are so small and few in number that the insects look entirely white; at the other extreme specimens occur, in which they are so numerous that the color appears black, cov- ered with thinly scattered white specks; in still others the black atoms lose their identity and the ground color becomes uniform gray or blackish gray; but in a large series these extreme forms are connected by so many intermediate links, that shade gradu- ally into each other, that it is impossible to draw anywhere the line which separates them from each other. In one curious variety the black atoms are massed together into small blotches; the nervules are black and contrasting and appear like a net- work connecting the median lines. Individuals having the usual ground color, but in which one or more of the nervules are accompanied by a black band, are not infrequent. In one remarkable male the ground is uniform blackish gray, and even the fringe is gray and not chequered as usual; the ordinary lines are indistinct and diffuse, and each accompanied by a dis- tinct white line which makes the specimen very conspicuous ; in another, a female, the ground is the same, but the white lines are absent.
After the ground color, the median lines show the most vari- ation. Ordinarily they are situated at a nearly equal distance from one another and from the base and external margin ; some- times they are connected by a fine submedian dash; in one strongly marked specimen they actually touch each other; on the other hand, in two females, they are so widely separated that the median space occupies fully three-fourths of the surface of the anterior wings. The exterior line is always sharply dentate outwardly ; in some specimens it is narrow and clearly defined inwardly, in others it is very thick and heavy, and in some individuals of the latter form it is strongly suffused. The inte- rior line is always thicker than the outer line, but it usually has its lobes distinct ; occasionally, however, it is so much suffused that the form of the lobes is lost; in one pale specimen this line, as well as the exterior, is thin, and both are nearly obso- lete.
70
The color of the vertex is usually white or gray, but it is sometimes ochreous, and in one specimen it is even orange ; the front almost always varies in the same manner, but in a less degree.
No two specimens have their wings of exactly the same shape, but in general the variation is only slight; in some fe- males, however, the elongation of both pairs is quite percepti- ble, and in such specimens the costa is more strongly arched than usual, and on the posterior wings the costal angle is less, and the anal angle greater; in one well marked insect of this group the posterior wings are shorter and more triangular than in others.
I have described the principal types of variation, and have given a few examples under each; it would be quite impossible to characterize them all within the limits of this paper. I know of no Geometrid in which there is so much variability in char- acters which are usually in this family constant and of specific
value. H.. K. Morrison.

On the localities and habits of the | various species of Omus.
The rarity of the species composing this genus, and the posi- tion which it holds in the ranks of Coleoptera, have always ren- dered it a favorite one with collectors, and the few notes which I have endeavored to bring together may not be without inter- est to the readers of Psycur. The species of Omus are more numerous than may be believed, as since the publication of Gemminger and Harold’s Catalogue, vol. i, in which only four species are enumerated, the list has been increased to eight, and it is quite probable that more remain to reward the investiga- tions of explorers. The following are the species at present known.

O. californicus. I have frequently found this species in various districts around San Francisco, and every year can look with certainty for a few specimens in particular localities. I haye little doubt from its habits, that the whole of the group are
74
night feeders, as I have often seen californicus wandering from its haunts after sundown, as if in search of food. During the day they hide under small pieces of wood and branches of trees, rarely under large logs, and for three years in succession I ob- tained a large number of specimens of the present species by throwing some finely cut pieces of meat around the places in which I knew they were to be found. The lid of a box made an excellent trap, and one day I obtained, in a spot only about ten feet square, no less than twenty-six specimens. An English collector took over one hundred and fifty californicus at the Presidio, San Francisco, by digging in a sand bank, after having well baited the neighborhood, for several days, with finely chopped meat. Iam not aware that this species has been found farther south than Gilroy, Santa Clara Co., or farther to the north of the State then Mendocino. It is certainly the most common of the group.
O. Audouinti. I have seen nospecimens of this insect taken farther south than the upper portion of the Sierra Nevada, in Plumas Co. It is far from rare in Oregon, and is occasionally found in some numbers along the rocky shores of the Columbia River, particularly about the Dallas. It is also frequent in Washington Territory and Vancouver Island, specimens having been found in the latter locality both by the late Mr. Crotch and myself.
O. Dejéanii. Very common in some portions of Vancou- ver Island, especially about Sannich and Gold Stream. This is the largest and decidedly the handsomest species of the group.
O. laevis. Ina letter to me from Dr. Horn, dated July 1, 1870, the following passage occurs: ‘ My ‘levis’ was found in the foot hills east of Visalia, I think. It would do no harm to explore in the neighborhood of Half Moon Bay and Monterey, as I have an indistinct suspicion that insects from the two local- ities are mixed in my hands, accidentally.”’ I regret that Iam able to add no more information with reference to this unique species, which Dr. Horn informs me is remarkably distinct from any other form known to him.
O. submetallicus. Soon after my arrival in California, I pointed out to my friend, Mr. James Behrens, of this city, a
75
specimen in his collection which I believed to be a new species of Omus. He soon afterward forwarded it to Mr. H. Ulke of Philadelphia, for identification, and it was shortly described by Dr. Horn under the above name, as from Mr. Ulke’s cabinet.} The specimen was taken in El Dorado Co., California, in June, 1865, by Mr. Elliot Crane, a relative of Mr. Behrens, and is the only one, I believe, at present known to entomologists. Dr. Horn speaks of it as “a very singular species, differing from all our others by its more elongate and cylindrical form as well as by its color.”
O. Lecontei. This very distinct species, easily known by its more slender form and very long antennz, appears to have its locality in the more southerti portions of California, the speci- mens from which Dr. Horn’s description was made, having been taken by Mr. W. M. Gabb, near Monterey, and a pair in my own collection, a little farther south, viz., at Gaviota, by Mr. W.S. Edwards, of the U. 8. Coast Survey.
O. sequoiarum. ‘The first specimen of this species which I ever saw was in the collection of Mr. J. Behrens, by whom it was taken at the only locality at present known for it, the Mam- moth Tree Grove, Calaveras Co. During the visit of the late Mr. Crotch to this State, I called his attention to this insect, and he at once recognized it as a new species and visited the ‘‘ Big Trees” almost for the purpose of finding so rare a treas- ure. He was rewarded by the capture of seventeen specimens, all remarkably constant in their characters. Last year (1874) I also took three specimens, two males, one female, in the same locality, two of which were running about a pathway in the dusk of the evening. The species is remarkable for its dull opaque black color and for the shorter, broader thorax, with its hind margins most distinctly rounded.
O. Edwardsii. This species was first taken by myself at Lake Tahoe, California, beneath a pine log, the male and female being found in coitu. Mr. Crotch visited the locality and cap- tured five specimens, all agreeing exactly with the original. It
1 Mr. Ulke informs us that, owing to the number of his Californian correspondents and the quantity of specimens which he received from them, he was unable to recol- lect the particular source from which this specimen came. £d.

is, with the exception of Dejeanii, the largest of the group, and is, in sculpture, intermediate between californicus and Audou- ini. The head and thorax are much smoother than in the former species, while its very much larger size, and the ex- tremely deep transverse fovea of the thorax, will serve to dis- tinguish it from the latter.
I am not aware whether the two last named species were published by Mr. Crotch, but I know that careful descriptions of them were drawn up by him,and that he communicated them to friends in Europe and elsewhere under the names which I have here adopted. Henry Edwards.

On the Insect Fauna of the White Mountains.
New Hampshire holds within her limits as a State, a region which is proving itself more interesting to the entomologist than any other in the United States east of the Rocky Moun- tains. The summit of Mount Washington, with an elevation of 6295 feet above the sea level, and with a climate giving an average temperature of 47.7° during its short summer, and that of Mount Adams, might well harbor species peculiar to a re- stricted locality and contrasting in character with the insect species afforded by the rest of New Hampshire and the New England States, which would throw important light on the questions of the effects of isolation and interbreeding on specific forms ; and if the Glacial Epoch had aught to do with the dis- tribution of the insects, we might expect these summits to har- bor, as on aerial islands, species coming from a remoter north, valley inhabitants during the continuation of the cosmical win- ter, which ascended to the summits to find their congenial climate as the lengthening summers laid the mountains more and more bare of ice. Evidence of this seems to be afforded by the scientific labors of Mr. 8. H. Scudder on the Grasshop- pers and Butterflies. Say has described a species of the genus Oeneis from the summit of Mount Washington, whose congeners inhabit Labrador, Siberia, the Alps, the Ural and Rocky Moun- tains, and, from a study of specimens, it seems to be concluded
ids
that the White Mountain butterfly offers features which will allow of its separation from its allies of Labrador and Arctic America. Lederer remarks that a figure of semidea resembles an eyeless form of Taygete (W. E. M., viii, 369), and also notes the resemblance of Argynnis montinus, another inhabi- tant of Mount Washington, to the boreal A. Freija. We thus have, in these two isolated White Mountain forms, a basis for an inquiry into the amount of change which they have under- gone since they became separated from the main body of the species. Parallel observations might be expected in the moths. The only paper on the Noctuidae of Mount Washington known to us as yet is Mr. Morrison’s in Psycue for February of the present year. ‘This author records, from the ‘ Ledge,” two species of ‘“‘Agrotis”, under the names scropulana Morr., and opipara Morr., which might reasonably be supposed to offer interesting characters for comparison with Labradorian or Alpine forms in the genus. Without knowing the boreal species it is obviously unsafe to write a paper on the Noctuidae of the White Mountains. My material is scanty and limited to a sin- gle specimen of the former species, sent me as ‘ scopulana Morr., Type”, in which the legs are defective. On comparing it with three specimens of Pachnobia carnea Thun., from Lab- rador, it seems to me probable that a larger series may show that the species are the same. The three Labrador specimens vary greatly, one female being quite like the,White Mountain speci- men in tone and narrowness of the reniform. The basal black marks are more prominent in the White Mountain specimen. With regard to opipara, I have a single specimen from the White Mountains, of which my determination is not absolute, but I believe it to be the species, since it came from Mr. Morri- son, though unnamed. If so, I think we have to do with A. islandica, and, if my locality for this specimen be correct, this Labradorian species will be found on Mount Washington. Until these points are cleared up, we shall want the proper data for an interesting discussion on the questions arising from an accu- rate knowledge of the moths of the White Mountains.

The Introduction of Danaida Plexippus into the Pacific Islands. [In a letter from Dr. Luther H. Gulick; with additional comments.]
“In 1852, I returned, after eleven years’ absence, to the Sandwich Islands, and my brother John drew my attention to the fact that the so-called American milk-weed (Asclepias) had, during my absence, been introduced, and had spread so rapidly as to be already ranked, in that tropic climate, with troublesome weeds. My brother had, early after its introduc- tion, noticed that in whatever part of the group the milk-weed appeared, there also what he called the milk-weed butterfly (Danaus) appeared ; a butterfly unknown on all the Sandwich Islands till after the introduction of the milk-weed.
“In 1857, a number of choice plants were sent me at Pon- ape or Ascension Island of the Caroline Range, from Honolulu, by our small missionary brig of about one hundred tons bur- then, whose diminutive hold and cabin were several times ran- sacked in every corner before it reached our island, so that no such butterfly as the Danaus could easily have been concealed there. The plants were in glass-covered cases, as closely sealed from the air as it was possible to make them. The vessel sailed from Honolulu on the 24th of June, and reached Ponape, two thousand miles or more from the Sandwich Islands, on the 18th of August, or after fifty-four days, several days after which the case was for the first time opened, thus making a period of about eight weeks from the time of its closure. On the voyage to Ponape, the vessel touched at Apaiang of the Gilbert Islands and Ebon of the Marshall Islands, both low coral atolls, where butterflies of any kind are all but unknown, and at Kusaie or
82
Strong’s Island, which is of basaltic formation and clothed with the most beautiful luxuriance of the tropics, but where, in a general way, I know that neither the above-mentioned milk- weed nor its accompanying butterfly were at that time to be found.
“‘Some weeks after the plants had been opened on Ponape (I should think it must have been three or four months) there having meantime been no vessel from any other land, we discov- ered several young plants of the milk-weed, springing up in the earth in which various other plants had been brought from the Sandwich Islands. These milk-weeds had evidently sprung from seeds in the Sandwich Island earth, as we found no plants of that kind after a most careful inspection of every item, when the case first arrived from Honolulu, and as they were plants till then unknown on Ponape, my brother Theodore and I set ourselves to watching whether or not the butterfly would ap- pear with it. The plants did not grow very rapidly or healthily, but just as several of them were beginning to develop flower buds, we discovered a swarm of small caterpillars of the Da- naus, of different sizes, but none of them apparently more than two or three days out of the ege, feeding on the leaves. This, of course, stimulated our curiosity exceedingly. We had to destroy a considerable portion of the swarm, so as to secure for the remainder nourishment sufficient from the five or six slender and stunted plants to permit of their’maturing, for we found that the caterpillars would feed on nothing else. In due time the chrysalids were formed. We took charge of them, showed them to the natives, and offered large rewards to any one who would bring us others of the same kind, but they did not and said they could not, for they were unknown on the island. In about two weeks the butterflies appeared, and we offered like rewards, with like results, regarding them, and as Ponape has but very few butterflies of any kind, we were sure they were something new.
‘We afterwards took a few of the seeds of the milk-weed, carefully cleaned, to the opposite side of the island, twenty-five miles as we travelled round the shore, and there planted them. The plants, apparently now naturalized, grew very thriftily to
83
the height of four or five feet, and after some months the but- terfly appeared there also (it was the butterfly, I think, that was first noticed by my friends) and that too, before they had become common on the northeastern side of the island, where they were first propagated, and long before they were found at any intermediate pomt. I am under the impression that the plant was subsequently introduced at Kusaie, and that the but- terfly also appeared there, but of this Iam not personally cog- nizant.
“ Barcelona, Spain, April 17, 1873.”
The above account was furnished by Rev. Dr. Gulick, at my request, for insertion in my work on New England Butterflies; but its special interest induces me to publish it independently. The butterfly in ‘question is a species which abounds over the southern half of N. America and the northern half of S. America, including the intervening islands. In N. America, it is single-brooded (not double-brooded, as asserted by Mr. Riley), the butterfly hibernating. It leaves its winter quarters later in the season than other hibernating butterflies and continues upon the wing until July and Aueust, laying eggs all the time, so that the insect may be found in its earlier stages throughout most of the summer. The eggs are deposited upon the under surface of leaves and hatch in four or five days; the caterpillar attains its full growth in two or three weeks and the chrysalis hangs from nine to fifteen days. The earliest butterflies which have not hibernated may be found in New England in July; so that while the earlier stages are passed rapidly, the perfect insect lives a full year, mingling on the wing with its own prog- eny and witnessing the decay and renewed growth of the plant which nourished it; for the Asclepias dies early and is not suffi- ciently grown to support the caterpillars of Danaida when the first butterflies appear in the spring.
The butterfly has extraordinary powers of flight and has been seen fifteen or twenty miles from land ; when several are sport- ing together they are described as “ gyrating in a wild manner at all heights,”’ some so far up that they appear ‘“ but as moving specks in the sky.”’ But it would be utterly absurd to presume
>
84
that this butterfly could have traversed two thousand miles of ocean, and in addition have appeared on an island less than twenty miles in diameter almost simultaneously with a few plants of Asclepias, accidentally introduced! The only other alternative is to suppose that it was carried to the island with the box of plants sent to Dr. Gulick. But the precise manner of its introduction is still a perplexing question. In a vast ma- jority of cases the accidental transportation of insects from one country to another is during their preparatory stages; but in this case the voyage is known to have taken nearly eight weeks, while the transformations of the Danaida, even in a temperate country, seldom occupy more than four or five weeks, and in the tropics doubtless take less time. So that, should a plant of the Asclepias weed, bearing eggs of the Danaida just laid, have been accidentally introduced into the Wardian case sent to Dr. Gulick, the butterflies would certainly have appeared in the closed case before the voyage was half over; and we must suppose that the caterpillars from which they were produced had eaten up every trace of Asclepias, that the butterflies themselves remained therein unseen for a month, and that at least a pair of them made their escape unnoticed from the case on its arrival at Ponape.
This seems quite impossible. And although Dr. Gulick dis- tinctly says that the ‘¢ diminutive hold and cabin ” of the vessel “were several times ransacked in every corner before it reached our island, so that no such butterfly as the Danaus could easily have- been concealed there,” this seems to be the only other alternative, and one which the long duration of this stage of the insect and its power of extended hibernation directly favor. In this case we must suppose that a pregnant female flew into the hold (to rest for the night) while the ves- sel was loading at Honolulu and, undergoing a forced imprison- ment (or pseudo- hibernation) during the voyage, escaped on unlading and in course of time found Asclepias ready for its necessities. A single butterfly, even of the great size of Dan- aida Plexippus would easily escape observation flying at large about a wooded tropical island. Samuel H. Scudder.
On the Insect Fauna of the White Mountains.
Mr. Grote, in an article ‘* On the Insect Fauna of the White Mountains,” in PsycuHe for last month, writes as follows: ** On comparing it (Agrotis scropulana Morr.) with three speci- mens of Pachnobia carnea, Thunb., from Labrador, it seems to me probable that a larger series may show that the species are the same,” and ‘“‘ I have a single specimen (of Agrotis opipara, Morr.) from the White Mountains, of which my determination is not absolute, but I believe it to be the species, since it came from Mr. Morrison, though unnamed. If so, I think we have to do with A. dslandica.”
In making synonymical corrections, we want certainties, not probabilities, and it is ‘* obviously unsafe ” to make or to insin- uate such corrections on the scanty and doubtfully determined material, which Mr. Grote states he possesses. I will mention that the four species named are entirely distinct from each other ; and that, in working on my paper on the genus Agrotis, my material of them consisted of thirty Pachnobia carnea, from Labrador, and one from the White Mountains, bred by myself ; six specimens each of Agrotis scropulana and opipara, all bred from the larve ; and three specimens of Agrotis islandica, lent me by Dr. Packard.
In Pachnobia carnea there is no basal black dash, and the reniform spot is obsolete; in Agrotis scropulana the basal dash is very large, black and distinct, and the claviform spot is long, clear yellow and conspicuous ; in the former the interior line is oblique and outwardly undulate, in the latter it is very strongly drawn in, sometimes touching the basal dash. Agrotis islandica and opipara do not bear any resemblance to each other; the ground color is entirely different; the former is a dull gray inconspicuous species, with fine and interrupted mark- ‘ ings, the latter is entirely cinereous, with distinct heavy black markings. I do not think it necessary to give other points of difference, as those pointed out above are amply sufficient to separate the insects. H. K. Morrison.

Notes on Luminous Larve of Elateridae. On the 30th of June, 1873, I received from Dr. G. F. Waters,
of Newton Centre, Mass., four luminous larvze of Coleoptera, accompanied by a note informing me that he had found similar larve in Newton, in June, for the past eight years. These lar- vee appeared in daylight of a yellowish color. Dr. Waters said further in his note, “Mr. F. F. Bush, of Weston, brought me some from near his residence once, which were quite dark brown to black on the unlight parts. I hear that they have been seen also in Milton. I know of no other locality where they are to be found. Mr. Bush said they are to be ‘found in great abun- dance on all dark nights.’ I have always found them under or near pine trees, and Mr. Bush’s locality is so situated.
These were climbing grass and holding high their lights, as though looking for their loves. I have never been able to keep them alive more than five or six days.” Subsequently Dr. Waters wrote: ‘Saturday evening [5 July], I took cars to Auburndale, and then walked two or three miles into Weston. I arrived at the locality just at dusk, and passed it without seeing anything but fire-flies; on returning I met some boys in a wagon, who had given me directions and then followed as soon as they could ‘hitch up.’ Knowing where they had been previously found, they, in following me, got two very large and full and gave them to me. Last evening [6 July] I went out for a walk and took my known locality and collected nine, mostly small.” On the 9th of July I received from Dr. Waters ten of these larve, one of which was dead. On the evening of the same day I made a diligent search under the pine trees of ‘Norton's Woods,” near the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, but found none. On the night of the 16th of July,
90
I went with Dr. Waters to Pleasant Street in Newton, on the grounds of Mr. Davis, of the firm of Hallett & Davis, piano- forte makers, near the Cochituate Aqueduct, where we found thirty-four more, one of which was black. We did not get upon the ground till 9 o’clock, P. M., or later, when it was quite dark and moonless. The larvee seemed to be still emerging from the ground, as after taking all I could find at one time in a place I afterwards found more there. These larvee shine witha bright light from their spiracles and the membrane between the rings, which discovers them at a distance of some rods. I found them mostly near the roots of the grass, under or near an evergreen hedge and also a “ buck-thorn” hedge, but some at a consider- able distance from the hedge, in an orchard. Dr. Waters found some under pine trees on a high knoll near by. The whole locality was rather high and dry, no dew being on the ground, nor had there been a dew for several weeks. No larve were found near the brook which runs by the orchard.
On the evening of the 28th of July we went with two friends to the same locality in Newton where we had found the thirty- four larve. There, and on the lane entering Homer Street opposite Mr. E. IF. Waters’, and on the side of Centre Street, we found twenty more larvee, four of which were quite black ; the others yellow. All were on the average smaller than those got before ; the black ones nearly of the same size with each other.
On the evening of the 29th of July, I obtained permission to examine the grounds of Mr. J. R. Lowell, near Mt. Auburn, in Cambridge. There, under or near pine trees, I caught thirty more larvee, fourteen of which were black, the rest yellow.
On the evening of the 6th of August I hunted long and dili- gently for more of these larve in Mr. Lowell’s grounds, but found none.
Thus in one month we found eighty yellow and nineteen black luminous Coleopterous larvee. Some of these afterwards escaped, some I preserved in alcohol, some died of unknown causes, but on the 2d of August I had forty-eight living yellow ones and eighteen living black ones in my jars of carth. The last of these died in November, none of them having pupated.
91
Since the occurrences narrated above, I have made many inquiries about similar larvae, and, have only learned that Mr. Sanborn found three or four larve apparently identical with one of the above, by the roadside between West Roxbury and Ded- ham. The first he had seen were brought him in 1862, by E. S. Rand, Jr., who found them in Dedham.
The most abundant form of these larve differs so little from
> of unknown larvee described by Osten-
“the third species’ Sacken in vol. i of the Proceedings of the Entomological Soci- ety of Philadelphia, p. 129, that I think it sufficient only to describe the differences.
This is No. 3074 of my collection. It is 35 mm. long, elon- gated, with the first five rings behind the small head success- ively widening, the last three rings almost insensibly narrowing, the last ring evenly rounded; of a soft-leathery consistence. Lateral margins of all the abdominal segments and sometimes of the thoracic ones, the whole venter, and sometimes also the front and hind margins of the thoracic segments yellowish. Head retractile, well exserted when in walking, transverse, dilated medially behind, dark brown or almost black, sometimes paler on the margins. Anterior margin of the head above between the bases of the mandibles bisinuated, the forward projections of the curve being lateral, and the hollow central and broader. Below, directly over the mouth, the margin is truncate, centrally notched. No separate clypeus or labrum . distinguishable. Third joimt of antennz cylindrical, twice as long as broad, one-third as long as the second joint, with no trace of a fourth joint in most cases. Mandibles strongly curved, either one outermost. So-called “ second appendage ” of the maxill indistinguishable. Third and fourth joints of maxillary palpi usually at least as long as they are broad.
Prothorax, when extended, as broad anteriorly as the head, longitudinal, posteriorly twice as broad as the head. Mesotho- rax and metathorax nearly equal in length, the latter a little longer; each shorter than prothorax. Punctuation of the tho- rax almost none. ‘Tips of cox not very approximate, the pos- terior ones less approximate. Hind legs not much larger than the others and having about the same proportions. All the
92
legs spiny and bristly, but with no complete rings of spines, Abdominal segments not very different in length, but their rélative lengths not very definite. Pseudopod a flattened trun- cated cone, of homogeneous fleshy texture ; exsertile tip bitu- berculate or bifurcate.
No. 3075 of my collection, one specimen, is the dead larva given me by Dr. Waters, July 9. Dr. Waters assured me that all the larvee in this lot were luminous, and as they were collected in the evening, they must have been so, yet this larva has a broader head actually and proportionally, short stout mandibles dilated and bent at a right angle in the middle, max- illary palpi not tapering, short and stout, rounded at the end, the third and fourth joints forming a mass of oval outline three times as long as either the first or second; the labial palpi short and stout, approximate ; and other differences which I will not dwell upon with my present material.
The black larvee make a third form, of which I find no speci- mens preserved in my collection, and did not take a particular description. They differ markedly in being able or apt to extinguish their light at times, which none of the yellow larvee did, and then to resume it. They are much more active than the others, and smaller.
What else I have to say refers to the first larvee described. They are quite active, and I should judge from the structure of their jaws that they are carnivorous. I did not succeed in feeding them with meat, earthworms, slugs, larve, leaves, nor slices of potato. ‘They were in the habit of descending below the surface of the ground in the daytime, or sometimes remain- ing coiled up on the surface. N umbers congregated in the day time under a piece of tin or a slice of potato. They generally formed passages in the earth, with chambers, in which they rested singly. At night they moved about upon the surface. I did not determine whether artificial darkness would arouse them in the daytime. At night they were attracted to the side of the jar nearest artificial light. When disturbed, they roll ' themselves up with the head applied to the ventral surface of about the sixth ring, and with the terminal segment reaching the back of about the third rmg; the head is then withdrawn
93
almost entirely within the prothorax, so that at most the man- dibles, tip of mentum and palpi project beyond the prothorax. When picked up, they give quite a cold sensation to the touch. Sometimes they emit a blackish fluid from the mouth, in the manner of locusts. Erroneously, according to the claims of priority, although the error is more appropriate than the truth, they are commonly called ‘ glow-worms.” By the suggestion and indications of Mr. E. P. Austin, I conjecture that they are the larvae of Asaphes memnonius. B. Pickman Mann.
The Note of the Katydid.
Since I began to study the character of the notes produced by different species of Orthoptera, it has been my fortune to hear that of the true Katydid (Cyrtophyllus concavus) but once. This insect lives in tree tops, one or two only in a tree, in little colonies scattered here and there over most of the United States east of the Rocky Mts. One such colony I encountered in the heart of the city of Springfield, Mass., and spent an evening en- deavoring to reduce the notes to scale. The insects which I observed were from fifteen to twenty rods distant, perched in the tops of maple, cherry and elm trees, not far above my
window.

They ordinarily call “« Katy,” or say “she did, ” rather than “ Katy did”; that is, they rasp their fore wings twice, more frequently than thrice; these two notes are of equal (and extraordinary) emphasis, the latter about one quarter longer than the former; or, if three notes are given, the first and sec- ond are alike and a little shorter than the last; the notes are repeated at the rate of two hundred per minute; and while the interval between two series of notes varies to a certain degree, it is seldom greater than two and one-third seconds, or less than a second and a quarter; usually it is between one and seven-eighths and twoseconds. The accompanying cut, in which each bar represents a second of time, attempts to reduce this to a scale.
94
The note, which sounds like wr, has a most shocking lack of melody; the poets who have sung its praises must have heard it at the distance that lends enchantment ; in close proximity the sound is excessively rasping and grating, louder and harsher than I have heard from any other of the Locustarians, the noisiest of all Orthoptera. Since these creatures are abundant wherever they occur, the noise produced by them, on an even- ing especially favorable to their song, is most discordant. Usu- ally, as I have said, the notes are two in number, rapidly repeated, at short intervals; perhaps nine out of ten individuals will ordinarily give this number ; but, occasionally, a stubborn insect persists in sounding the triple note; and as Katydids appear desirous of answering their neighbors in the same meas- ure, the proximity of a treble-voiced songster demoralizes a whole neighborhood, and a curious medley results; notes from some individual may then be heard all the while, scarcely a moment’s time intervening between their stridulations, some nearer, others at a greater distance; so that the air is filled by these noisy troubadours with an indescribably confused and grating clatter. This renders special observation of the notes of any individual all the more difficult, and it is only by great patience and careful selection that it can be accomplished, unless one places himself upon the outskirts of a colony.

§ 4. Mimetic REsEMBLENCES BETWEEN DIPTERA AND Hymenoptera. Baron Osren-Sacken exhibited a number of specimens of Diptera and Hymenoptera to illustrate the mimicry which obtains in certain cases. The instances selected were Laphria and Bombus; Systropus and Ammo- phila ; Ceria and Ancistrocera; Ceria and Polistes; Ceria and Conops (both Diptera); Spilomyia and Vespa. He further remarked that there is a great resemblance between Hispa suturalis and Capsus robiniae, a beetle and a bug frequenting the leaves of the locust-tree. (Mar. 13, 1874.)
§ 5. CapruRE OF RARE PsEUDONEUROPTERA AND NEv- ROPTERA. Dr. Hacen said that many rare species of Pseu- doneuroptera and Neuroptera had been collected this year, some by himself in Massachusetts, and some by Mr. Sanborn in Kentucky. Amongst these are Calopteryx angustipennis and Petalura Thoreyi. The two other species of Petalura known belong to New Holland. This genus is so exceptional that the first specimen of the American species was declared by Selys to be of necessity Australian and erroneously labelled. Some larve from the same locality and collector probably belong to Petalura. By the dilated antenne they agree with the larva of Hagenius. Two Aeschna furcillata were caught in Manchester, Mass. Only one specimen is known to exist in Europe. <A specimen of Meuronia pardalis was also captured. The only nearly related species live in Japan, the northern part of Europe and in Siberia. They have the peculiarity to fly very high; this specimen was taken on top of a stage-coach. Dr. Hagen farther obtained a Hemerobid of the genus Dila from Kentucky: the male with pectinated antenne, the female with a long ovipositor like that of Rhaphidia. Two species are known from Europe and two from Asia, viz: one from Ceylon
and one from India. ( Oct. 9, 1874.)

Bleaching the Wings of Lepidoptera.
In the common method of destroying the scales on the wings of Lepidoptera, by means of caustic alkaline solutions, for the purpose of studyimg the venation of the wings, there is danger of not arresting the action at the proper moment, and conse- quently danger of destroying not only the portions which it is desirable to remove, but also the scale-supporting membrane, and even the delicate veins themselves. The use of a modifi- cation of the chlorine bleaching process, commonly employed in cotton bleacheries, obviates the necessity of removing the scales at all, and leaves the wing perfect.
There are many ways in which this bleaching can be done, but I have found the most convenient method of applying the chlorine to be the following. The wings must first be soaked a few moments in pure alcohol, in order to dissolve out the oily matter in them. If this is not done, the surface of the wings acts as a repellent, and will not be moistened by an aqueous solution. When the wings have become thoroughly soaked by the alcohol, they are ready to be removed to a solution of com- mon bleaching powder. This bleaching powder is sold by druggists as “chloride of lime,” but it is really a mixture of ealcic hypochlorite, calcic chloride, and calcic hydrate. Ten parts of water dissolve the first two compounds, leaving nearly all the third suspended in the solution. The solution should be made with cold water, filtered, and kept in a tightly corked bottle till required for use. When the wings are transferred to this solution the bleaching commences, and in an hour or two the wings are devoid of markings, except when the colors have been photographed on the membrane, although the veins retain
98
a light brown color. This is due to the fact that chlorine can- not quite decolorize animal matter or any substance containing nitrogen, as it does vegetable tissue.
After the color has sufficiently disappeared from the wigs, they should be transferred to a wash composed of one part of strong hydrochloric acid to ten parts of water. Here it may be added, that in case the bleaching does not readily com- mence upon immersion in the bleaching powder solution, the action may be hastened by a previous dipping in the dilute hydrochloric acid. In the bleaching solution, a crust of calcic carbonate, formed by the union of the calcic hydrate of the solution and the carbonic dioxide of the air, is deposited on the wings, and this calcic carbonate the final wash in the dilute acid will remove. As soon as the calcic carbonate has disap- peared, and all bubbling, consequent upon its decomposition by the hydrochloric acid, has ceased, the wings should be well soaked in pure water. They may then be secured on cards with a mucilage of gum tragacanth; or upon glass, by the proper transfers through alcohol and chloroform to Canada balsam.
A solution of sodic hypochlorite, known as Hau de Labar- raque, or a solution of potassic hypochlorite, known as Haw de Javelle, when used in place of the solution of bleaching powder, does not leave a deposit of calcie carbonate on the wings, and thus dispenses with the wash of dilute acid. A solution of zine hypochlorite acts more delicately than the solution of sodic hypochlorite, and may be used in place of the latter, as may also solutions of aluminic hypochlorite or magnesic hypochlorite.
These bleaching processes preserve the most delicate wings unbroken, and when the specimens are of rare species, “rubbed” wings can be used, the absence of the scales not being evident after bleaching. The costal venation of Hespe- ridae can be clearly determined in bleached wings.
Provided the wings are not kept too long in the bleaching solution, or in the dilute acid, the scales remain perfect and in position, although rendered so transparent that their presence is scarcely noticeable even with the aid of a lens. That they still remain, is easily proved by examining the torn edge of a
Se,
99
piece of wing under a compound microscope, when the trans- parent scales will be seen overhanging the edge like shingles upon a broken roof. Geo. Dimmock.

On the Insect Fauna of the White Mountains.
In a paper published in the July number of Psycre, I drew attention to some of the questions raised by studies on the in- sects of Mount Washington. In concluding, I suggested the probable identity of Agrotis opipara with A. islandica, and Agrotis seropulana with Pachnobia carnea. I am answered on page 85 of this journal by the remark that “in making synony- mical corrections, we want certainties, not probabilities.” This does not apply to myself, because I purposely made no synony- mical correction in these instances. As to my suggestions, the first has proved itself correct. A specimen of Agrotis islandica sent me by Mr. H. B. Meeschler, from Labrador, cannot possibly be distinguished from my specimen of opipara from Mount Washington. The markings are equally heavy and distinct in both. I justify my remark ‘“ obviously unsafe ”, in the paper referred to, by pointing out that in Dr. Stauding- er’s original paper on A. islandica (Stett. Ent. Zeit., 1857, p. 232), all the differences described on p. 85 of Psycue are considered varietal of islandica. Staudinger says of islandica, “ This new Agrotis varies in size, still more in the markings, but most of all in the color.” Specimens are described with unicolorously dark primaries, becoming almost smoky brown ; this will account for the ‘* gray” specimens differing from the *‘cimereous’”’ ones. I have Dr. Packard’s Iceland specimens of islandica, which formed the basis of Mr. Morrison’s knowledge of the species. They belong apparently to an inconspicuously marked form, which seems to vary in color and depth of mark- ing somewhat as velleripennis does. The structure is the same in these specimens of islandica from Iceland and opipara from Mount Washington; the Labrador specimen might have been taken on Mount Washington, and the Mount Washington in Labrador, for all essential points of distinction between them.
100
How can Mr. Morrison then say that opipara and islandica ‘do not bear any resemblance to each other ”’ ?
As to A. seropulana, I think I am justified in making a sug- gestion as to its identity with Pachnobia carnea, from its near resemblance, as to which its author was entirely silent. It dif- fers by the basal markings of the primaries, a character which formed my principal difficulty in suggesting the identity of the species. None of the other characters pointed out by Mr. Morrison in his late paper appear to me to be valid, or other than varietal and inconstant in the limited number of specimens before me. The structure of the feet, so far as I can now see, after a careful re-examination, is the same in both forms. The line on the hind wings, the discal marks and the tone are the same.
In conclusion, I would draw attention to the fact that Mr. Morrison’s descriptions of opipara and scropulana, as well as those of other species of the genus in the Proceedings of the Boston Society of Natural History, are too indefinite for identi- fication ; so that, did I not possess material received from him- self, I would hardly be in a position to refer to his species at all.

The Chirp of the Mole- peleker
The common mole-cricket of the United States ( @ryllotalpa borealis Burm.) usually commences its daily chirp at about four o'clock in the afternoon, but stridulates most actively at about dusk. On a cloudy day, however, it may be heard as early as two or three o’clock; this recognition of the weather is rather remarkable in a burrowing insect, and the more so since it does not appear to come to the surface to stridulate, but remains in its burrow usually an inch below the surface of the ground. The European mole-cricket is said to chirp both within its bur- row and at its mouth (plerumque sub terrd, Fischer says), and it may be that our species sometimes seeks the air in chanting ; but the chirp, as far as I have heard it, always has a uniformly subdued tone, as if produced in some hidden recess. Fischer says that the European species, which is twice as large as ours, cannot be heard more than from one hundred and fifty to two hundred feet (ultra spatium 20-30 passuum). Ours, when certainly beneath the surface, is easily distinguished at a dis- tance of five rods; and one would presume that it could be heard, if above ground, nearly twice as far away.
Its chirp is a guttural sort of sound, like grit or grééu, re- peated in a trill indefinitely, but seldom for more than two or

fe. minutes, and often for a ” time. oe is nee at two octaves above middle C, and the notes are usually repeated at the rate of about 130 or 135 per minute: sometimes, when many are singing, even as rapidly as 150 per minute. Often,
106
when it first commences to chirp, it gives a single prolonged trill of more slowly repeated notes, when the composite char- acter of the chirp is much more readily detected ; and after- ward is quiet for a long while. When most actively chirping, however, the commencement of a strain is less vigorous than its full swell, and the notes are then repeated at the rate of about 120 per minute; it speedily gains its normal velocity. The note sounds exceedingly like the distant croak of toads (Bufo) at spawning season, but is somewhat feebler. Zet- terstedt compares the chirp of the European species to the note of Hyla arborea.
Although belonging to the saltatorial Orthoptera, this insect, like the other species of its genus, is a poor leaper ; tmepte salat says Fischer of its European congener. But on the other hand, it can run backward quite as easily as forward,— a for- tunate gift, as the greater part of its burrow is too narrow for it to turn in. Samuel H. Scudder.
Hibernation of Amphipyra pyramidoides.
In Vol. VI, No. 2, of the Canaptan Entomo.oetst, the Editor, in speaking of Amphipyra pyramidoides, says: ‘ In what stage of its existence this insect passes the winter months, has not yet been determined. Whether the eggs, which are probably laid during August, remain dormant during the re- mainder of the summer and hatch early in the following spring, or whether the eggs hatch into larve early in the fall, and the larvee, while still young, become torpid and sleep through the long winter months, remains undecided ; we incline, however, to the latter view.”
Observations that I have at different times made upon the habits of this moth, would lead to a different conclusion. While collecting Catocalas during August (1874) in Weston, Mass., I several times struck dead trees and raised a cloud of A. pyramidoides which flew out from under the loose bark. Tearing off the bark, I found hundreds of them, many living and some mere mouldy skeletons. I paid no particular atten- tion to the fact at first, but afterwards, finding many trees in- habited in this manner, not only during the autumn, but also
107
during the next spring, I concluded that they must hibernate thus, in flocks, laying a portion. of their eggs in the fall, and the rest during the following spring. I think the mouldy skeletons must be those of moths who were unable to withstand the winter, and died clinging to the bark, for in the spring there were some just beginning to mould, and others in various stages of decomposition.

On a supposed Case of Seasonal Dimorphism among Diptera.
Seasonal dimorphism is a constantly recurring disparity- ereat or small, between two successive broods of the same spe- cies during the same year. The attention of entomologists was recalled to this perhaps too little noticed phenomenon by Dr. Weismann’s recent publication concerning some cases of sea- sonal dimorphism among Lepidoptera (Ueber d. Saison-Dimor, phismus d. Schmetterlinge). Iam strongly inclined to think that the case I intend to notice here, belongs to the same order of phenomena, among Diptera. It was for the first time brought forward by me in a recent paper on the genus Syrphus, pub- lished in the Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist., xviii (Oct. 1875) ; but I deem it useful to bring it before a larger circle of ento- mological readers, and thus to invite further investigation.
In preparing the above-mentioned paper on Syrphus, I had the opportunity to examine about 5300 specimens of the most common species of this genus in New England, a species closely allied to, if not identical with, the European S. ribesiz Linné. The result of this examination was, that I distinguished two well marked forms, each represented in both sexes, and which may be defined as follows :
I. ¢,2. Eyes pubescent; hind femora black, except at
the tip;
II. 4,92. Eyes glabrous ;
é, all the femora black at the base ; hind fem- ora black, except the tip;
2 all the femora vellow from the very base (the cox being black); hind femora often with a brown ring before the tip.
114
The first of these forms I named Syrphus torvus, the second S. rectus. Between the males of these forms there is hardly any difference at all, except, as just shown, in the condition of the eyes, pubescent in the one, glabrous in the other. Be- tween the females, the difference consists, besides the condition of the eyes, in the color of the hind femora. Minor differences existing between the two forms, are almost unappreciable, and would have been neglected, without the help of those leading characters.
As both forms occur in large numbers in the same localities (my specimens were principally from the White Mountains), the question naturally arises whether they occur promiscuously, or at different seasons? The answer would have been easy, if the dates of the capture of each of those 300 specimens had been noted. Although this was not the case for a considerable majority among them, still, from the data in my possession, it seems probable that S. torvus is the form commonly occurring in the early sammer, S. rectus that of the late summer and au- tumn. If such is the case, the next question would be whether these two forms are distinct species, or whether they represent a case of seasonal dimorphism of the same species? The latter alternative seems to me the more probable, although of course it would require further proof, by way of observation and ex- periment, before being accepted.
About ten years ago, Mr. Malm in Goteborg, Sweden, ex- pressed the opinion that the representatives of my S. rectus and S. torvus in Europe, S. ribesii, S. vitripennis and S. topiarius are not species, but only varieties, each occurring more abun- dantly in its own season: topiarius (torvus), in the spring; ribesiz (rectus), in autumn; and vitripennis between the two, in midsummer. There seems to be a difference, however, be- tween the case, as it stands in Europe, and as I find it here. The European 3S. vitripennis is said to be an intermediate form between the two other species; it has glabrous eyes, but at the same time the femora of the female are dark at the base. Among the 500 American specimens which I have examined, there was not a single case of this kind: as shown above, all the females with glabrous eyes have the femora yellow from the
115
very base. Mr. Malm also found other passages from one form to the other, tending to establish their specific identity: for him, therefore, these forms are varieties; while in America, as far at least as my observation goes, the two forms are per- fectly distinct, and thus are either distinct species or dimorphic forms of the same species.
Although the technical particulars, into which I was obliged to enter, are too dry for the general reader, the interest at- tached to the question thus raised reaches beyond the scope of mere descriptive entomology; and this may be my excuse for bringing this matter before the readers of Psycnr. For more details, I refer to my paper in the above-quoted Proceedings.

§ 6. On Eumenta Arata. Mr. Scupper said he had lately received from Dr. Packard the larva and pupz of Hume- nia Atala collected by Dr. Edw. Palmer. This butterfly has been very variously classified by separate authors, having been placed by Godart between the Satyrids and the Brassolids, and among the Erycinids by Lucas. Westwood, in the Genera of Diurnal Lepidoptera, placed it among the Lyczenids. Boisduval made a distinct family for it. The character of the cell of the forewings was erroneously stated by Bates, who thought the cell was closed by a vein resembling the others, and suggested that this species with some others might form a separate group among the Lycznids. The existence of a strong vein is only apparent, however, and due to the character of the scales at the apex of the cell. On denuding the wing it is seen that in both sexes the vein which closes the cell is really almost obsolete. The fore tarsi of the males are one-jointed, and spinous. Dr. Palmer was able to assure Mr. Scudder that the larvae collected really belong to this species. They differ greatly from the lar- vee of Lyczenids in being but little onisciform, in having distinct . though minute, prolegs, an only partially retractile head and but slight enlargment of the prothoracic segment. The pup do not have the terminal segment wholly upon the under surface of the body, as is the case in the Lycenids. The larva feeds
on Zamia. (Dee. TEAST LS

On an Immense Flight of Small Butterflies (Terias lisa) in the Bermudas.
Marvellous indeed, as naturalists well know, are those peri- odic movements of the feathered race known as spring and autumn migrations. Moved by an instinctive impulse implanted in them by the Creator, thousands upon thousands of birds of all sizes, from the bulky swan to the tiny humming bird, travel by sea or land to distances so remote that, unless it was ascer- tained beyond doubt that the space was traversed, the fact would be considered almost incredible.
_ But if we are greatly astonished at the power of endurance exemplified in this long sustained flight of some of the smallest birds, what will be said when we relate a circumstance con- nected with a similar power possessed by a species of butterfly, so small and apparently incapable of withstanding the violence of the elements, that we know not which is the more remark- able, the distance traversed, or the number of these frail little creatures which lived to reach those remote isles of the ocean, after an aerial journey of some six hundred miles or more ?
Thus it was. Early in the morning of the first day of Oct. last year (1874), several persons living on the north side of the main island perceived, as they thought, a cloud coming over from the north west, which drew nearer and nearer to the shore, on reaching which it divided into two parts, one of which went eastward, and the other westward, gradually falling upon the land. They were not long in ascertaining that what they had taken for a cloud was an immense concourse of small yel- low butterflies ( Terias lisa Boisd.), which flitted about all the open grassy patches and cultivated grounds in a lazy manner, as if fatigued after their long voyage over the deep. Fisher-
122
men out near the reefs, some few miles to the north of the is- lands, very early that morning, stated that numbers of these insects fell upon their boats, literally covering them. They did not stay long upon the islands, however, only a few days, but during that time thousands must have fallen victims to the vig- orous appetites of the blue bird (Stalia stalis Baird) and black bird (Mimus carolinensis Gray), which were continually prey- ing upon them. Only one other instance of a flight of these butterflies visiting the islands is recorded (in the author’s ** Naturalist in Bermuda” p. 120).
The migratory habit of the Pieridae, to which the present species belongs, is well known, and notices of the occurrence of large flights have occasionally appeared in entomological jour- nals. Numbers of Pieris napi and P. brassicae have been known to cross the channel from France to England, and a migratory host of Callidryas radia has been observed moving along in Basuto Land; but the only instances published of their having ’ been met with at sea, are to be found in Darwin’s “ Naturalist’s Voyage ” and the ‘* Entomologist’s Magazine” (England).
Darwin writes as follows: —Several times when the ship (H. M.S. Beagle”) has been some miles off the mouth of the Rio Plata, and at other times when off from the shores of northern Patagonia, we have been surrounded by insects. One evening, when we were about ten miles from the Bay of San Blas, vast numbers of butterflies, in bands or flocks of countless myriads, extended as far as the eye could range. Even by the aid of a telescope it was not possible to see a space free from butterflies. The seamen cried out ‘it was snowing butterflies,” and such in fact was the appearance. More species than one were present, but the main part belonged to a kind very simi- lar to, but not identical with, the common English Colias edusa. Some moths and Hymenoptera accompanied the butterflies, anda fine beetle (Calosoma) flew on board. The day had been fine and calm, and the one previous to it equally so, with light and variable airs. Hence we cannot suppose that the insects were blown off the land, but we must couclude that they voluntarily took flight. The great bands of the Colias seem at first to afford an instance like those on record of the
123
migrations of another butterfly, Vanessa cardui (Lyell’s Princi- ples of Geology, vol. ili, p. 63), but the presence of other insects makes the case distinct and even less intelligible. Be- fore sunset a strong breeze sprung up from the north, and this must have caused tens of thousands of the butterflies and other insects to have perished.
In the Entomologist (vol. iii, p.-226) it is stated that dur- ing a cyclone, and at a distance of 600 miles from the African coast and 200 from the Cape Verde islands, a vessel was vis- ited by numerous birds and butterflies, the latter being Diadema bolina and Pyrameis cardut.
Now the instance related by Darwin only proves the fact of flocks of butterflies being observed ten miles from land, and that recorded in the Entomologist leaves it an open question as to whether the insects were direct from the coast of Africa or Cape Verde Is.,! or indeed whether they occurred in remark- able numbers. We have, therefore, reason to believe that the vast host of Terias lisa which arrived at the Bermudas on the 1st of October last, and that visitation recorded in the ‘ Nat- uralist in Bermuda” as occurri ng on the 10th of October 1847, are the only instances known of such extraordinary flights of Lepidoptera, or indeed any insects being met with at such an amazing distance from land.
The question, therefore, naturally arises — How did this im- mense concourse of butterflies get to the Bermudas? The nearest point of land is Cape Hatteras, in North Carolina, which is somewhere about 600 miles distant, and if they had started from this pomt and taken a straight lime to the islands, without meeting with any contrary winds, it would, at the rate of 12 miles per hour (a fair average rate of travel for any of the Pieridae), have taken them two days and two hours (of course including nights) to complete the distance; a space of time almost too great, we should imagine, for an insect in no degree remarkable for robust frame or strength of wing to keep up a continuous flight. We are, however, inclined to think that the presence of this vast concourse of insects at the Bermudas was

not ewing to ordinary causes, and that we must look to some extraordinary means to solve the mystery. From a very ex- tended series of ebservations made at intervals during the last twenty years, with the view of throwing light upon the migra- tion of North American birds to those islands, we have become impressed with the fact that the largest flights of birds occur there during the period of great atmospheric disturbance. From the latter end of September to that of October, violent revolving gales are prevalent throughout the region which com- prises the east coast of the Southern and Middle! States and the North Atlantic in those latitudes, for some 600 or 800 miles from land. At this particular period vast flights of birds of all kinds are proceeding southward along the coast for their winter resorts in Florida, West Indies and South America, and must often meet with the violent gales we have alluded to. Now the observations of scientific aeronauts, like Glaishier and others, teach us that the upper atmosphere is composed of cur- rents of air differing in their courses as elevation proceeds, and some cases are on record in which balloons at a great height have suddenly come in contact with violent direct gales, which carried them onward with such velocity as to render their course one of extreme peril, only escaping destruction by the superior manceuvring of those in charge. Let us suppose a violent revolving gale passing along the coast of the Southern States, about the latitude of the Bermudas, during the period of the autumnal migration of birds and butterflies, engulphing some of those great flights which are then proceeding along in a southerly direction. Drawing them up high in its vortex, a direct westerly gale is met with, blowing with great force out to sea. Hurled with amazing rapidity along this cool aerial cur- rent, in the course of about three or four hours the heated va- por arising from the Gulf Stream would be met with, and would it be considered as too imaginative to grant that the ascending warmth of that stream has power sufficient to ameli- orate the condition of the cool current, to. stay its rapid course

and allow the animal freight to descend, which, then within a comparatively short distance of the Bermudas, would seek the nearest land by that instinctive impulse so characteristic of these tribes, and aided perhaps by perfect calm or favor- ing breeze, arrive at those distant isles, without encountering the dangers, which, in the form of contrary winds, would most certainly accompany an intentional migration to the islands ? If our theory, however, be an incorrect one, as it may be, we should indeed be glad if some one would lend a helping hand to solve this question of a migration of tiny butterflies from the American main to those small and remote isles, six hundred miles away over the rolling waters of the trackless deep.

In the past summer I have compared a collection of some three hundred species of spiders from New England, nearly all from the neighborhood of Boston and Salem, with several large collections of European spiders, and find the following species to be common to both countries. The names used are those adopted in Thorell’s Synonyms of European Spiders (1873).
1. Epeira sclopetaria, probably E. vulgaris Hentz.
2. Epeira patagiata.
3. Cyrtophora conica = Epeira caudata Hentz.
4. Meta Menardi, found in the caves of Virginia and Ken- tucky and in one place in Massachusetts.
5. Linyphia bueculenta.
6. Linyphia phrygiana = L. conferta Hentz.
T. Linyphia marginata = L. marmorata Hentz.
8. Hrigone rubens, a single ¢ found in Salem.
9. Theridium tepidariorum—= Th. vulgare Hentz, the most common house spider in New England, but in Europe it is only found in hot-houses.
10. Theridiwm stietum.
11. Phillonethis lineata, a very common spider in Europe. Only a few American specimens have been found, in Beverly, Mass., and on a neighboring island.
12. Ero thoracica.
13. Pholcus phalangioides, the common Pholeus found in cellars about Boston. It is probably described by Hentz as Ph. atlanticus.
14. Seytodes thoracica = S. cameratus Hentz.
15. Misumena vatia —= Thomisus fartus Hentz.

16. Thanatus oblongus = Thomisus duttonii Hen‘z.
17. Epiblemum scenicum = EF. faustum Hentz.
18. Aelurops fasciatus—= Attus leopardus Hentz. Only one American specimen was compared.
19. Tegenaria derhami.
20. Amanrohius ferox.
21. Drassus lapidicola, one of the most common Drassidae in both countries. It is probably described by Hentzas Clubi- ona obesa.
Besides the above, the following American species are repre- sented in Europe by closely similar species.
Epeira insularis Hentz was formerly supposed by Thorell to be #. marmorea, but is distinguished from the latter by constant differences in color and markings and in the copulatory organs of beth sexes. Another American Epeira, perhaps the H. obesa of Hentz, is also closely related to #. marmorea.
Epeira trifolium Hentz. The females are only distinguish- able from those of #. quadrata by slight differences in the epigynum. The males of H. trifoliwm are not certainly known.
Epeira Nordmanni Thor. Several young females from the coast of Maine seem to be of this species, but ne adults have been compared.
Epeira Packardii Vhor., found by Dr. Packard in Labrador, and by Mr. Sanborn on Mt. Washington, N. H., at an eleva- tion of about 5000 feet, is very near to and possibly identical with HE. carbonaria, which occurs in the Alps, at an elevation of 6000 or 7000 feet.
Theridion boreale Hentz, one of the commonest spiders in New England, is represented in Europe by the equally common Steatoda bipunctata. The males are easily distinguished by differences in the palpi, but the females of the two species are readily mistaken for each other.
Lithyphantes corollatus. A young female from Malden, Mass., seems to be of this species.
Pachygnatha trilineata Koch, the common Pachygnatha in the neighborhood of Boston, is very near P. clerckit of Europe, but they are easily distinguished by the palpal organs.
131
Tegenaria medicinalis Hentz is near Coelotes atropos, possibly the same species.
Micrommata canadensis Hentz is represented by the common Ocyale mirabilis.
Pylarus bicolor Hentz belongs to the genus Ariadne, and is very near A. insidiatriz.

Arctic Lepidoptera in the White Mountains.
Mr. Roland Thaxter sends me a male specimen, taken by Mr. B. P. Mann, above the tree-line, on Mount Washington, which seems to be the first indication of the probable occur- rence of Laria Rossii Curtis on the mountains, and still fur- ther to illustrate the relations between the Arctic and Mount Washington faune. The specimen is a male, smaller than Curtis’ figure, with the dark band on the secondaries so broad- ened and diffused as to leave but a discal yellowish patch. The markings on the fore wings seem quite similar, and, in the ab- sence of a larger series of specimens, the more closely scaled and rather darker Mount Washington specimen should not be held to indicate a distinct species. It appears that arctic spe- cies are subject, as a rule, to unusual variation. My specimens of Pachnobia carnea from Labrador strongly vary in depth of color and distinctness of marking; a specimen, undoubtedly of this species, sent me by Mr. Morrison, from Mount Washing- ton, is very pale. We shall probably find, when more material is collected together, that we have, besides Anarta melanopa, Agrotis islandica, and Pachnobia carnea, also the Bombycid Laria Rossii to add to our list of Arctic Lepidoptera found in the Mountains of New Hampshire. A. R. Grote.
Chrysalis with attached Larval Head.
Mr. Roland Thaxter brought me, Sept. 27th, 1875, the liv- ing chrysalis of Huphoeades Troilus, with the head of the cater- pillar still remaining upon it. The head is split, as ordinarily
when cast for the last time, and the two hemispheres hug the
1382
base of the right ocellar prominence of the chrysalis, the left ocellar prominence being greatly aborted and entering the heart of the left cephalic hemisphere; the right hemisphere is. noth- ing but a pellicle, connected only with the opposite half, but the left seems to be closely soldered to the insect, although the edges are free almost or quite throughout; in addition, the pel- licle and hardened dorsal shield of the first segment of the larva are present, directly behind the left hemisphere ; the frontal triangle and all the mouth parts of the larval head remain nat- urally attached to the left hemisphere; there is nothing else peculiar to the creature excepting its total lack of maxillary and antennal cases, the empty trough for the reception of the former being particularly conspicuous, while that of the latter is closed on the distal half, or, on the right side, even more than that. This makes it all the more probable that the larval head has still an organic connection with the insect. The chrysalis was raised in confinement. Samuel H. Scudder.

Odoriferous Glands in Phasmidae.
Specimens of Anisomorpha, probably A. buprestoides Stoll’, were recently sent me from Texas by Mr. J. Boll, with the statement that when the females were captured they spurted from the prothorax, somewhat after the manner of bombardier beetles, a strong vapor, which slightly burnt the skin; when the females were seized by the males, a thick fluid oozed from the same spot. Say gave a similar account in his American Entomology, nearly fifty years ago, on the authority of Mr. Peale, who told him that specimens of A. buprestoides, when taken, discharge “a milky white fluid from two pores of the thorax, diffusing a strong odor, in a great measure like that of the common Gnaphalium or Life Everlasting” ; a plant, he adds, ‘* growing near the place where they occurred.”” An- other instance is recorded by Bates, who named a 8. American species Phasma putidum, because, when it is seized, “a dark liquor oozes from the mouth and other parts of the body, emit- ting a most peculiar and disagreeable odor.”
Mr. Boll attributes this power to the females only, but both sexes certainly possess, with equal distinctness, the pores through which the fluid or vapor passes. These are situated one on each side of the prothorax at its upper anterior ex- tremity, at the bottom of a large and deep pit, opening out- ward and a little forward, its upper and posterior borders with abrupt sides. These pores, or foramina repugnatoria, as they may be called from their analogy with the pores in Myriapods, so named by Waga, greatly resemble stigmata, and have actu- ally been mistaken for a prothoracic pair by Stal,! and are de-

scribed by him as present in ‘the whole group of genera allied to Phasma (s. str.). They are very conspicuous in Autolyca pallidicornis Stal, and doubtless all the species possessing the foramina are endowed with this peculiar means of defense, the , only one known to Phasmidae, apart from their mimetic deceits. It may be questioned, indeed, whether the foramina are not common to the entire family, for they occur also in Phyllium and Heteropteryx and all other genera I have examined, even in those not appertaining to the groups in which they are men- tioned by Stal. In Heteropteryx they are conspicuous and are situated at the outer anterior base of a large pointed spine, in the same relative position as in the genera already mentioned. The occurrence of foramina repugnatoria presupposes, of course, some tegumentary follicles or deeper seated glands for the secretion of the offensive fluid, and since the existence of glands of any considerable size, opening upon the sides of the body, is quite unknown in the true insects, as far as I am aware (with the exception of such extensible structures as the caruncles of Malachius and allies), it is additionally interesting to observe that these foramina are the openings of true gland- ulz odoriferse, which, in certain species, attain a very great size. If an Autolyca pallidicornis, for instance, be opened upon the dorsal surface,! these glands will be seen at first glance lying side by side above the salivary glands,— two straight, flattened, ribbon-like bodies, blind sacs with stout walls, each one anda half millimetres broad, extending from the posterior extrem- ity of the mesothorax, where they are broadly rounded, to the anterior part of the prothorax; here they are curved slightly outward toward the foramina and taper rapidly, chang- ing at the same time froma flattened to a cylindrical, and finally to a compressed form, so as to have the appearance of being twisted through quarter of a circle. The membrane at the base of the pit in which the foramina are situated is very delicate, ex- cepting near the centre, where it is thickened; in the middle of the thickened portion occurs a nearly perpendicular slit, less than 0.25 mm. long, which may probably be opened or closed at will by the action of muscles on its thickened walls. In Aniso-
1All my observations are taken from specimens preserved in alcohol.
139
morpha buprestoides the glands have the same appearance, and though comparatively slenderer, reach likewise the extremity of the mesothorax. _ My examination of these genera, in which the odoriferous glands prove so conspicuous, made it seem very remarkable that they had hitherto been overlooked in Phasmidae; for although the anatomical researches of Miller and Brandt upon Bacteria Fferula (Fabr.) had reference principally to certain features of the nervous system, yet the former at least touches upon other parts of its structure, and even gives a detailed drawing of the alimentary canal, the anterior part of which, with its salivary glands, would have been quite concealed by the odoriferous glands, were they as conspicuous in that species as in those above mentioned. In such a case Miller could not have over- looked them. Leidy, too, in his account of the anatomy of Diapheromera femorata (Say), makes no mention whatever of parts such as are described above, or, indeed, of any special glands. An examination of the latter species, however, in which the foramina are very minute, shows that the glandulz odoriferee are present, although they are inconspicuous and do not occupy the position along the dorsum in which they are found in Autolyca and Anisomorpha. They consist of a pair of small obovate or subfusiform sacs, one on each side of the pro- thorax, about a millimetre in length, and half a millimetre in width, with a short and very slender duct opening exteriorly, as in the other genera; these sacs are directed inward and a little downward, and scarcely reach the cesophagus at all. Should a similar feature hold in Bacteria ferula, as is probable from the relationship of the two insects, we need not be surprised to find it overlooked in the dissection of an alcoholic specimen, such as Miller must have had, especially when the object of his investigation was to trace a portion of the nervous system. Should foramina repugnatoria, with odoriferous glands, be found in all Phasmidae, it might at first be thought probable that they would also be discovered in other Orthoptera. It should, however, be remembered that all the other groups pos- sess already means of active defense. Thus the saltatorial families have the power of leaping to great distances by means
140
of their thickened hind legs, the Blattariae and Forficulariae run with great rapidity, and the Mantidae, by their threatening attitude and well-armed fore legs, assume even the offensive ; while the Phasmidae, with their slender form and sluggish movements, have special need of such a weapon as these glands
furnish them. Samuel H. Scudder. BIBLIOGRAPHICAL RECORD.

§ 8. Hapsirs AND FORMS OF CALOPTENUS SPRETUS. . MR. ScupDER offered some remarks on Mr. Riley’s account of Ca- loptenus spretus in his recent Annual Report [see Bibl. Rec., No. 311]. The speaker doubted whether these insects took flight from the heart of the Rocky Mts. to the localities in which they were destructive, passing over the wide expanse of arid plains which intervene, because there has been no record of their occurrence in swarms in these plains, and there is suffi- cient ground for the supposition that they may have devel- oped in the immediate vicinity of the regions which they dev- astate. It is well known that among other insects there are years in which individuals are suddenly very abundant, and in- tervening series of years in which few are to be found. It is also known that a few of these locusts can be found in Kansas and Missouri, and in fact from Texas to Manitoba every year, so it seems hardly necessary to look so far for the derivation of the destructive swarms. Moreover, the circumstance, men- tioned by Mr. Riley, that the locusts get tired after repeated flights, is an additional argument against the supposition that they came from a great distance, for the rate at which their strength diminished seemed out of all proportion to the activity of the insects at the time of their first ravages.
Mr. Scudder also doubted the specific and perhaps even the varietal rights of C. Atlantis, described by Mr. Riley from the White Mts., for specimens of C. spretus have been found in different eastern localities, and, like many other insects of wide latitudinal distribution, have shorter wings than the western forms. Mr. Riley gives no characters of importance to distin- cuish C. Atlanis from C. spretus.
Some conversation ensued, upon the migrations of locusts in Europe and Asia, and it was remarked that in those countries the locusts come from the east westward, while in our territo- ries the migrations are toward the east. This was explained to be probably on account of the direction of the wind, which in our western territories is for much the greater part of the year
from the west. (June 11, 1875.)
No. 21 was issued Jan. 14, 1876.

Vol. I] Cambridge, \
Mass., Ma
Among a large number of species of Coleoptera collected in Michigan by Mr. H. G. Hubbard and myself, during the year 1874, those mentioned in the following list will be found of some interest. Where no locality is given, the species were collected in the vicinity of Detroit.
Omophron robustum Horn. <A single specimen on the shore of Lake Erie near Monroe, in September.
Schizogenius ferrugineus Putz. With the preceding, not rare.
Dicaelus purpuratus Bon. The larva of this species is very beautifully colored, and was found in rotten logs, in the middle of August; it under- goes its transformation in this place, and the imago appears about the be- ginning of September.
Bembidium anguliferum Lec.1 Very rare under decaying leaves; pre- viously found only in California.
Hydroporus rotundatus Lec. In the Detroit River, rare.
Helophorus tuberculatus Gyllh. Not common near Detroit.
Philhydrus consors Lee. Much rarer than Ph. cinctus Say.
Cercyon unipunctatum Linn. and C. centrimaculatum St. Not rare, on the window of a stable, in October.

Homalota Mannh. To give some idea of the number of species of this
? For the determination of this and many of the following species I am indebted to Dr. Leconte.
2 It may be not without interest to state that a species of Motschulskium, very prob- ably identical with M. s'nuatocolle Matth., was found abundantly by Mr. Crotch at San Diego, Cal., under seaweed.

genus, inhabiting the United States, it may be stated that about sixty spe- cies were found in the vicinity of Detroit in a single season.
Calodera Mannh. Of this genus, which is very easy to recognize, three species were found near Detroit; three others are not rare in the marshes near Cambridge, Mass.; all the species live under very wet decaying leaves and moss.

Pieris rapae in Mid-ocean.
Dr. J. L. LeConte recently sent me a butterfly taken last August, by Dr. R. H. Lamborn, on the steamship Abyssinia, eleven hundred miles east of New York, while on her passage from Liverpool. When first seen, Dr. Lamborn writes, the insect was ‘flying amoung the rigging and following the ship, which was moving over a calm sea at the rate of about twelve miles an hour. The wind had been steadily south-west during the passage.” This butterfly is a female of Pieris rapae, and is in perfect condition, excepting that it was rubbed in capture.
This throws light, if any were needed, on the manner of the introduction of this pest into America. Undoubtedly the but- terfly had not flown from land, but the caterpillar from which it sprang had been introduced into the vessel in the cabbages in- tended as food while in port or during the voyage ; and in this particular instance the butterfly had emerged from the chrysalis (which had suspended itself in some safe nook on board) previ- ous to the completion of the voyage. This must now be a weekly occurrence in midsummer, and it would seem as if no amount of precaution, likely to be taken, would have kept Pieris rapae out of America many years longer. I have evidence that the insect was independently introduced into the port of New York, and swarmed in the vicinity of that city, before the Canadian hordes had reached Albany, on their southward march.

HiperRNATION OF AMPHIPYRA PYRAMIDOIDES. In Chicago, Illinois, this insect is single-brooded, for a poplar-feeding larva found the latter part of May, and which spun upon the 14th of June, did not produce the moth till the following April; but specimens obtained near St. Louis often produce the moth during July of the same year that they are found as worms. In this last case a second brood is doubtless produced the same year, though it is barely possible that the moths winter over and do not deposit till spring ; for they are characterized by having very flat bodies
: {ane J : ) owe 2 and with their wings folded flatly on their backs they are often found hid- ing in narrow cracks and crevices where they seem to love to shelter.— 3rd Mo. Ent. Rep., p. 73.
The above, written in 1870, shows conclusively that this insect sometimes passes the winter in the chrysalis state. My experience, since, agrees with Mr. Roland Thaxter’s, and I have no doubt that the species frequently hibernates also as a moth. There is much greater irregularity in the devel- opment, time of appearance, and hibernation of insects than most entomol-
ogists incline to allow. CoV. Riley:

Lixus rubellus Randall.
About three years ago a dam was built across a little brook in Tyngsboro, Mass., draining a long stretch of meadow land into the Merrimack River, to create a supply of water for mechanical uses. An area of about fifteen acres was thus overflowed. During the past summer I observed sheets of the purple bloom of some plant, then unknown to me, growing above the surface of this water, and one genial day in the mid- dle of last September, as my brother and I were paddling slowly up the pond, examining the floating lily pads, with their very numerous population of Galeruca sagittariae, young and adult, our boat was directed towards the water weed, whose flowers had attracted our attention, when we began to find the subjects of this notice, numerous pale brown beetles with pro- longed and deeply notched apices, clinging to the thick spikes or flower heads, sometimes two upon a single head, but usually singly, and often upon the floating leaves and partly submerged. Nearly all of the three dozen specimens obtained seemed quite mature, the few exceptions being soft and a little paler than the others. They made little or no effort to escape, perhaps occa- sionally shrinking back a little, when towards the most distant side of the spike, on the approach of the hand. Jn one or two instances an individual was seen to fly a short distance, one alighting on our boat.
At a subsequent visit, after the pond had been once cov- ered with a thin sheet of ice, which had afterwards melted, a single specimen was found, still clinging to a blackened flower head lifted slightly above the water. And I would say here, for the benefit of those unfamiliar, as I was, with the Polygo-
154
num amphibium, for such the plant proved to be, that the pink- ish flowers grow in a dense head, from half an inch to two inches long, barely rising on tolerably stout stems above the surface of the water, where the oblong leaves float like lily pads.
One naturally infers that the larve infest the submerged stems, the mature beetles leaving the. water, like so many other aquatic insects. The larvee of those European species, of whose habits I have seen any notice, live in the stems and roots of plants. I have never collected any other of our spe- cies, and know nothing of their natural history. The habits of Lizus rubellus, as mentioned herein, including its late appear- ance, must account, I suppose, for the long disappearance from our knowledge of a species which is probably really very com- mon in its peculiar home. The description of Randall is quite characteristic, and, so far as I am acquainted with our other species, this is very easily distinguished. Frederick Blanchard.

On some Coleoptera from Florida.
Hydroporus exiguus Aubé, which appears in Harold & Gem- minger’s Catalogue as Anodochilus (Babington) exiguus, with A. maculatus Bab. as synonym, was unknown to Leconte in his paper on North American Hydroporus (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci., 1855). In Leconte’s list it appears as doubtfully belong- ing to the North American fauna, and Croteh omitted it en- tirely in his Revision of the Dytiscidae and in his Check List. In the beginning of May, 1876, this species was recovered by Mr. H. G. Hubbard and myself, in the upper St. John River, south of Lake Harney, several specimens having been found. The characters given by Leconte, in his table (1. c.), are suffi- cient to recognize this very remarkable species.
Hydnocera aegra Newm., distinct by its uniform red color, occurs in several parts of Florida, although very rare. It is to be found by sweeping the swampy meadows in the pine wood lands, from March to June; Temnopsophus bimaculatus was found always in company with it.
Pachybrachys limbatus Newm. [Cryptocephalus limbatus
155
Newm., Mag. Nat. Hist., 1870, p. 250], unknown to Haldeman and Suffrian, has never been identified, so far as I know. It is very distinct, by its coloration, from all other species of Pachy- brachys. It is black, subopaque; in the male, a frontal mark on the head and a stripe along the interior margins of the eyes, the sides of the thorax and a great part of the anterior margin, a large oblong spot on the anterior side of the front femora, and a small spot near the base of all femora are whitish; in the female, the head and thorax are almost entirely black, and the white spot on the anterior femora is wanting. Elytra red, with a large common sutural spot, not reaching the apex, black. Head densely punctured on the black parts, the white parts almost smooth ; thorax on the sides densely, on the dise and near the base less densely punctured, the white margins with a few punctures or smooth; elytra near the scutellum with irreg- ular coarse punctures, in the other parts the punctures are arranged in rows, often interrupted and curved on the dis¢e and sides, more regular in the apical part. It varies in the exten- sion of the white color on head and thorax, also in the size of the elytral spot. In size it equals Pachybrachys luridus. It occurs not rarely on oak scrubs, in the Indian River country, in March and April. EH. A. Schwarz.
Insect CALENDARS.— For many years I have been in the habit of keeping a catalogue of the times when insects may be found in activity, that is, in the larval and imaginal stages. My plan has been the following. Each month is divided into quarters, indicated by Roman numerals, the quarters of the months of 31 days ending on the 8th, 16th, 23d and 31st, and those of the months of 30 days ending on the 8th, 15th, 23d and 30th. These I call “ weeks.” In each “ week” I record the species found in the place of my residence and adjacent localities during that week. An insect which appeared in every week of the year would thus be recorded forty- eight times (or not at all). The simplicity and convenience of this method fully rewards me for the labor of repeating the name so often. I attach to each record a note of the authority upon which it rests, ‘and sometimes, for convenience, a note of the first and last times of appearance of the insect during the season. For this latter purpose, I call the last week of June the
24th week of the year, and the last week of December the 48th week. Two examples will complete my statement.

§$ 9. Mruicry. Mr. Scupper spoke of the mimiery between Basilarchia Disippe and the co-territorial species of Danaus; where Plexippus is the more abundant species of Danaus, the mimicking B. Disippe wholly resembles it in color; but where D. Berenice prevails (as in the extreme south) the color of the mimicking species darkens so as to resemble it. He did not think that we had yet reached a satisfactory solution of the facts of mimicry. If the object of mimicry is the protec- tion of the insect, why does it not occur more frequently in those stages of the insect’s life when the animal is peculiarly liable to attack from such foes as mimicry is presumed to blind? Nine-tenths at least of every brood of any given insect are destroyed during the larval period, and so far as he was aware, there was but a single instance known, in which one caterpillar mimicked another less liable than itself to the attacks of foes. He referred to the mimicry, said by Boisduval to be shown by the African Diadema Bolina to Danaus Chrysippus.
(March 13, 1874.)
Mr. E. Burgess called attention to the imitation of twigs which obtains in many larve of Phalaenidae, as examples of protective mimicry in the early stages of Lepidoptera.

The Aborted Wings of Boreus.
These curiously modified organs have been considered by
Vol. I. ]
the writer as altogether useless appendages. In Bb. brumalis, the anterior pair are long and narrow and slightly tapering from base to tip; the tips are curved downward and nearly reach the end of the abdomen. The inferior pair are narrow and ribbon-shaped ; are slightly longer than the superior pair, and have a transverse fold near the end, by which, probably, the tip is folded on the main portion. The upper pair are cor- neous in texture, the inferior subcorneous. But the character- istic which calls for particular attention is found in two series of rather long stoutish acute spines, a series to either edge of the inferior surface of the upper pair of wings (?). On the basal fourth of these organs the spines are absent. Where they are found they form a rather close series, stand at right angles to the surface to which they are attached and gradually in- crease in length to the final one at the tip, which is much longer than any of the others. These spines, in conjunction with the wings, I have reason to think, are used to support the female in the act of copulation. In this act the female is borne upon the back of the male, assuming, while in this position, that attitude which it assumes when alarmed and feigning death —the limbs are contracted against the body, the head drawn toward the breast and the antenne laid along the ventral surface — thus apparently doing nothing to hold itself secure, yet maintaining itself when the male is leaping actively. When we consider the convex surface of the abdomen of the male, the support received from the connection of the sexual organs would seem hardly enough to account for the firm position of
162
the female; that the modified wings of the male contribute to this support would therefore be a plausible theory. But for the theory to hold good it must. be proved that the wings are avail- able for such a purpose, that is, capable of being raised and opened. I have supposed them to be incapable of any motion. An examination of a specimen which I have had in my pos- session for several years threw no light upon the matter, all its limbs having become rigid from immersion in alcohol, but a specimen rendered transparent and properly prepared for the microscope revealed the fact that the superior pair of wings were articulated at the outer two-thirds of their base, the inner third being free.
The wings of B. Californicus are furnished with similar series of spines. .B. nivortwndus I have never seen.

Synoptical Tables for Determining N. A. Insects.
Observations upon the habits and other peculiarities of in- sects often fail of record merely because the names of the insects are not known to the observer. Beginners in the study of systematic Entomology find it of great advantage to start with a named collection, and can rarely get such, at least without difficulty. Collectors are encouraged by finding that it is easy to name their specimens, and from collectors are led to become students. For these reasons and others, any device is desirable which will render these names discoverable, with the least possible preliminary study; the experience of naturalists has shown that artificial keys, or dichotomic synopses, are most adapted to supply the demand.
A series of synoptical tables for determining the names of North American insects will appear in Psycur, as occasion fa- vors. The first of the series will be a table for determining the families of Orthoptera. This will be followed by a table for de- termining the genera and species of the family Forficulariae, found in the United States. Other families of Orthoptera or other orders of insects will afterwards be treated in a similar manner. When one or a few of the members of any group are of such character that the insertion of those members into
163
the table would necessitate the establishment of dichotomies upon obscure marks of difference, those members will not be included in the table, but descriptions of them, or lists of them with references to descriptions will be added in an appendix, so that the completeness of the synopsis may not be impaired, while at the same time the table will be rendered more definite in its divisions.
Each synopsis will include a list of the groups of which it treats, with references to the most important accessible works in which monographs or descriptions are given. In case any groups have already been tabulated elsewhere, so that a new tabulation seems not to be needed, merely a reference to the tables will be given. Much space will be saved by the avoid- ance of useless repetition, at the same time that these synopses will serve as a complete guide to the larger works for which no substitute can be made. B.

SaLycytic Acip AS A PRESERVATIVE. Having lately experimented with salycylic acid as a preservative, I found that when about ten grains of it are added to a quarter of a pound of brown glue, to be dissolved in water for the purpose of gluing sheets of cork into insect-boxes, it is an excellent material to preserve, clarify and deodorize the glue. I also found the fol- lowing useful for preserving delicately tissued invertebrates and larval insects : Dissolve twenty grains of salycylic acid in two fluid ounces of alcohol and add three ounces of water.— Carl EF. Gissler, Brooklyn, N. Y., Feb. 13, 1876.
Proceedings of the Club.
§ 10. ProrHoracic TuBERcLEs In ButTrEerRFLY CaTERPIL- Lars. Mr. 8. H. ScupprEr suggested that the extensible tuber cle of the under surface of the first thoracic segment of most butterfly caterpillars would probably prove homologous with the osmateria (or more highly developed extensible tubercles of the upper surface of the same segment) of the caterpillars of the swallow-tail butterflies. Osmateria are found only and always in the subfamily to which the swallow-tails belong; inferior tubercles in all other butterfly caterpillars, but never in the swallow-tails. Prepared caterpillars of all the principal groups were exhibited in illustration. [See these Proceedings, § 3,
p- 64. ] November 12, 1875.
§ 11. GuapaLuPE OrrHOPTERA AND BuTrerriies. Mr. S. H. Scupper exhibited the Orthoptera and Butterflies col- lected in February and March, 1874, by Dr. Edward Palmer, on the island of Guadalupe, off the coast of Lower California. There were but four different kinds of Orthoptera; one an undescribed species of Gryllus with very short wings, most nearly allied to G. peruvianus Sauss., and probably indigenous, the remainder Acrydii; one an undetermined species of the genus Acrydium of the American division Schistocerca; the others undescribed species of Trimerotropis, one of which 1s also found in California and a very closely allied species in Texas ; while the last, though probably not indigenous, has not yet been recognized among the Orthoptera of the main land. The only butterfly found upon the island, according to Dr. Palmer, is Vanessa Carye, a species common to the west coast of America from California to Peru. Nov. 12, 1875.
No. 24 was issued April 14, 1876.

For general descriptive and methodical orthopterological works, treating among others of N. American insects, the student may consult Burmeister’s Handbuch der Entomologie, Vol. u, part ii, Gymnognatha, 8vo, 1838 (descriptions mostly in Latin) ; Serville’s Orthopteres, 8vo, 1839 (French) ; Saussure’s Mélanges Orthoptérologiques, fase. inv, 4t0, 1863-72, including

thus far only Blattariae, Mantides and Phasmida, published separately and also in Mém. Soe. Phys. et d’Hist. Nat. Geneve; the same writer’s Histoire Nat. du Mexique, ete., 4° mém., 1864-5 (Blattariae) ; 3° mém., 1871 (Man- tides) ; and further his contributions to the French Government’s Mission Scientifique au Mexique (see Bibl. Rec., No. 880), which has so far included the Blattariae, Mantides, Phasmida and Gryllides (all these works are richly illustrated, and are in French, with Latin diagnoses). Stal’s Recensio Or- thopterorum, I-11, 1873-75 (Latin) has so far covered the Phasmida, Acrydii and Locustariae. Walker’s List of Dermaptera in the British Museum, 6 vols., 8vo, 1868-71 (English and Latin), covers the Blattariae and the saltatorial families; it is a work thoroughly bad in classification and description, and is infinitely more a hindrance than a help; as a biblio- graphical aid it has its merits, and it describes about 140 N. American species as new. Glover’s Illustrations of IN. American Entomology, Or- thoptera, 4to, 1872, gives thirteen crowded plates, not executed in the best manner, with names. Emmons, N. York Insects, 4to, 1854, figures a few species. See also Harris’s classic work on Injurious Insects, 3d ed., in which the New England species known to him are described, and some of them figured; my paper in the Boston Journ. of Nat. Hist., vir, 1862, in which all the N. England species, and a few others, are systematically arranged; and my Smithsonian Catalogue of described N. American Or- thoptera, 8vo, 1868, an alphabetical index to the literature previous to 1867.
For other important systematic works on the classification of Orthoptera, see the faunal works of Fischer, Orthoptera Europaea, 4to, 1853 (Latin), and Fieber’s European Orthoptera in Lotos 11-1v (German).
For works on particular families, besides those specified above, see the following: Forficulariae,— Dohrn’s Monographie der Dermapteren, in the Stettiner Entom. Zeitung, xx1yv—xxvi (German, with Latin diagnoses), my Catalogue of the family, in the Proceedings Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist., xvi, and my Synopsis of the N. American species in the Bulletin U.S. Geol. Surv. Terr., u. B/atiariae,— Brunner, Systeme des Blattaires, 8vo, 1865 (French, with Latin diagnoses). Mantides,—an illustrated catalogue (4to) has long been in preparation by Westwood, and may be looked for at any, time. .

The N. American species have been mostly described by Brunner, Bur- meister, Charpentier, DeGeer, Dodge, Dohrn (H.), Drury, Fabricius, Fitch, Germar, Girard, Gray (G. R.), Haldeman, Harris, Hermann, Kirby, Linné, Olivier, Palisot, Saussure, Say, Scudder, Serville, Smith (S. I.), Stal, Stoll’, Thomas, Thunberg, Uhler, Walker and Westwood.

This table does not include Forficula Percheroni Guér., described by me fourteen years ago (as Spongophora bipunctata) from a broken speci- men in the Harris collection, supposed to have come from Massachusetts. If it did, it was probably introduced accidentally, as it has not since been captured in the United States. Nos. 1, 2, 5 and 11 are also found in the Old World.
A general catalogue of Forficulariae, by the writer, will be found in Vol. xviii of the Proceedings of the Boston Society of Natural History, where will be found references to the best descriptions of the species. Original descriptions of most of the N. American species will be found in the Or- thoptéres of Serville (Suites & Buffon), the Handbuch der Entomologie (Vol. 2) of Burmeister, Dohrn’s Dermapteren von Mexico (Stett. Entom. Zeit., Jahrg. 23), the Monographie der Dermapteren of the same author (ibid., Jahrg. 24-26), and in my Century of Orthoptera and other papers (Proe. Bost. Soe. Nat. Hist., Vol. 18). Other descriptions will be found in Palisot de Beauvois (Ins. Afr. et Amer.), Guérin (Sagra’s Cuba) and the general writings of Linné and Fabricius.
The latest views on the classification of Forficulariae will be found in Dohrn’s Monograph, above cited. The anatomy of the group has been studied by Posselt (Inaug. Dissert., 1800), Dufour (Ann. Se. Nat., 1828; Rech. anat. et phys. sur les Orth., ete., 1841), Lacaze-Duthiers (Ann. Sc. Nat., 1852), Meinert (Naturh. Tidsskr. [3] 5), and in a more general way by several other authors, Serres, Newport, ete. On the structure of the wings and their manner of folding, see a paper shortly to appear in the American Naturalist. Fossil species have been described by Herr, Massa- longo, Weyenbergh and Scudder. Samuel H. Scudder.
REMARKABLE TENACITY oF Lire. Yesterday afternoon, between two and three p.m., I collected a number of Coleoptera, among which were Lo- phoglossus strenuus, Helops micans, Helops aereus, several Pterostichi and Platyni. I arrived at home a little after five p.m., and, after the perusal of some letters, went to pick out the specimens. All except L. strenwus and H. micans were pasted on cards. About fifteen minutes afterwards the six
179
specimens of Helops aereus began to move about on the cards, trying to free-their legs from the nearly dry shellac. Some chloroform poured into the box helped the poor creatures into a better existence. This tenacity of life is remarkable, as none of the other beetles, after having been in the alcohol for some three hours, were found to be alive. There must be a sort of respiratory receptacle under the elytra, analogous to that of certain water-beetles. C. F. Gissler, Brooklyn, N. Y., May 7th, 1876.

§ 12. Notes on tHE Wuite Mountain Faunz. One of the characteristic features of this fauna, at the time of the meeting, was the abundance of the fly known as Simulium mo- lestum. It was not known to any of the members present whether the bloodthirsty propensities of the species were mani- fested by the females alone or by both sexes indifferently; but the opinion expressed by one of the members was that the fe- males alone drew blood, and that the males were not of frequent occurrence.
Syrphus torvus was noticed to be extremely abundant, a cir- cumstance which the writer suggested might have some con- nection with the equal or greater abundance, especially at an earlier period, of a species of plant-louse (Aphis ?), which in- fested the branches of birch-trees, and, according to the report of one of the members, who had been on the mountain earlier
184
in the season than the writer, had produced an appearance like a snow-storm around the Summit House, one day. Some of the members reported finding indiyiduals of this Syrphus at- tached to the sand by a fungoid growth, and appearing so life- like as to induce caution in the attempt to capture them. One member found a specimen attached to his blanket in the morn- ing which had not been there the evening previous, showing that the action of the fungus was quite rapid. The writer had noticed a large gathering of individuals of this species on the carriage-road, above the limit of large trees, at a time when a brisk wind was blowing, and had found that sweeping his net through the air near above them did not cause them to take flight, but that it was necessary to take them up with the fin- gers; yet these individuals were fully able and ready to fly when allowed to escape. A member who had been upon Mt. Adams found the Coleopterous fauna of that mountain essen- tially the same as that of Mt. Washington, although numerous specimens of Hyperaspis were found there such as he had not found elsewhere.
Several members expressed the opinion that the distinction between the subalpine and Canadian faunz was rather imagin- ary. The prevalent opinion seemed to be that the wooded and unwooded regions had distinguishing characteristics, but that these regions merge into each other gradually. Carabus cham- issonis has a wide range, being found in the Canadian as well as in the two other regions. The specimens found at this time were said to be wintered individuals, the new brood coming out in August and September. Probably more specimens were taken this year than in all previous years together. Many val- ley forms of insects were found at the extreme summit of the mountain ; the individuals at the summit visiting the extreme peaks, even congregating upon a pile of stones, if no higher point was near. None were found abundant even twenty or thirty feet below the highest point. (July 5, 1874.)

The mandibles of all the larve of the Coleoptera, with the single exception described in this paper, as far as I am aware, are in the normal position, that is, at the sides of the oral open- ing, and have lateral action ; but in the larva of Eros thoraci- cus, a member of the predaceous family Lampyridae, we find an exception to what has hitherto been considered the rule.
The larva is about twelve millimetres long, rather thick, fleshy and grub-like, somewhat appressed ; the body at the ter- minal two or three segments of either end narrows a little ; the head is small and transverse. The color of the body is light bright lemon, the dorsal surface of each segment having a large patch of brownish yellow. The legs are short, and the motions of the larva are slow and clumsy; when disturbed, it curls quickly on its side, after the manner of some of the saw-fly larvee.
I give the above very abbreviated ‘description, so that one may know the larva and verify what I am about to write. What larve I have taken [ have found either in the soft de- cayed wood of dead pines, or between the loose bark and wood of the same trees; but they are rarely found; at least such is my experience.
I was desirous of breeding the first specimen that came to my hands. When I began to make a description of it, I found, as I thought, that the mandibles were altogether absent, and that the labrum was of a singular shape, and described the lat- ter, at the time, as ‘crescent-shaped, with the horns prominent and attached to the front by a narrow portion of the base.” It
186
was only when I noticed that the so-called labrum was divided into two, and that each portion had independent motion, that I discovered that what I called the labrum was the mandibles; but now I was as much at a loss to account for the presence of the mandibles in this anomalous position as before for their ab- sence. The place of their attachment is under the clypeus, at the margin of the front. The clypeus is apparently absent, but a specimen of the larva prepared for the microscope shows a small piece which is no doubt the clypeus. When this piece is removed, the manner of the hinging of the mandibles is eas- ily seen, but it is necessary to have the head transparent and properly mounted to see it to advantage. In such a specimen, a rather broad, thickened line will be seen on each side of, and somewhat distant from, the middle line of the head; these two lines are on the interior surface and do not appear at all in the opaque specimen. They diverge rather broadly behind and terminate anteriorly at the clypeal suture ; at this end there is a cavity which receives a short, stout process proceeding from the mandibles on their outer, or, in this position, posterior sur- face, at about one fourth their length from their extreme base. Two slender, rather long processes are produced forward from the space between the ends of the lines; these, in their natural position, I think, have a somewhat downward curve ; in the specimen under examination they are pressed flat. The man- dibles are divided from their base for about one third of their length to receive these processes, which are produced through them. These last mentioned processes I suppose to be points of muscular attachment. The mandibles are rather slender and acute at the tips; they have a very strong downward curve, but only a slight outward curve, with the tips pointing directly forward. Looked at directly in front, in the living insect, the mandibles form two sides of a rather acute triangle with its narrowly truncate apex at the middle line of the clypeus.
From their position, their manner of articulation, and their form, one would be led to think that the mandibles could not have the usual lateral action, and such is the case. The only motion they have is a vertical one, but it is possible that they move on a curve; if the slender processes in front are
187
straight, in their normal position, they would seem to preclude a direct vertical action, but if they have a downward curve, as I think they do, they would in no manner hinder it. But, whether the motion is directly vertical, or vertical with a curve, the tips are never brought together, nor in approxim- ation even. ‘The mandibles have separate action; one will be raised, and then the other, and both together, but I have never seen the tips approach each other, nor ever seen any lateral movement. When a larva is disturbed, it will with- draw the mandibles almost entirely within the oral cavity, but always with a downward motion.
Naturally it occurs to one to inquire the use of such or- gans. It is easily seen that they can be of little use in tak- ing prey; it would seem impossible that the larvee could cap- ture any living thing with such a pair of mandibles, and the maxillze are of such a form as to be of no assistance, being very short, straight, and furnished with one or two bristles only at the end. I am inclined to think, in view of the facts, that the larve of Eros, at least of this species, are vegetable feeders, and, as it would seem that nothing but the very soft- est of tissues would yield to mandibles so disadvantageously placed, I think it possible that the larvee may feed on the del- icate fungoids which are so numerous in the spring under the bark of moist decaying pine stumps. I much desired to see the larve in the act of feeding, but never did so, and, as it may be many seasons before I take another, I shall feel under obligations to any reader of this paper, if they would forward any specimens they may take to my address at Mal- den, Mass. The living insect would reach me in good order if enclosed in a vial with a little of the soft decayed wood such as will be found in the same position as the larve; if the wood is dry, it would need to be slightly moistened.
I bred three specimens tothe perfect insects; two of which, a male and female, are deposited in the Randall Collection of the Boston Society of Natural History; the other is in my own collection. Henry L. Moody.

Entromotoaicat Noves. I have captured twelve specimens of Habro- syne scripta Gosse, this season, by sugar. I have never seen it here before. T have recently captured sixty-six specimens of Hyperchiria Io 2, attracted by two females; a perfect specimen of Darapsa versicolor, June 25, and Catocala Briseis, July 15, both at sugar.
T have raised the larva of Ablepharon Henrici. It eats grass; is a hairy caterpillar, resembling Acronycta oblinita; spins a moderately tough cocoon very like that of A. oblinita in shape and texture.
I have raised Plusia aeroides. It feeds on Meadow-sweet (Spiraea salict- folia); is a curious hunched larva, light pea-green, marked with greenish- white; walks like a Geometrid; turns milky white before spinning a light white cocoon. The pupa is light green, with large black patches on the back. Spun June 26; imago July 6. Roland Thaxter, Newtonville, Mass.

ORGAN OF THE CAMBRIDGE ENTOMOLOGICAL CLUB EDITED BY B. PICKMAN MANN.
Vol. 1] Bh Cambridge, Mass. September, 1876. ? [No. 29.
A “Contribution to the Anatomy and Histology of the Plant- lice, of the Coccidae in particular, by E. L. Mark,” in the Archiv fiir mikroskopische Anatomie, Bd. xiii, gives an exposi- tion of the organs concerned in the acquisition and digestion of food, and treats the same under the heads :
1. Mouth-parts,
2. Alimentary Canal, and
3. Accessory Organs of Alimentary Canal, the latter being the salivary glands and the Malpighian vessels.
An attempt is made to homologize the elements — to which special names are given — of the chitinous frame-work of the mouth parts in different genera of the Coccidae.
Observations on the method of extruding the sete, four in number, which compose the sucking tube, follow. A peculiar sack-like organ, enveloping the extensive loop which the bun- dle of sete often forms within the abdomen, is found to be pres- ent in each of the four groups into which the Coccidae have been divided by Targioni-Tozzetti, although this author denies the existence of such an organ. The earlier observations of Dujardin are thus in the main corroborated.
A complicated pumping apparatus is also ascribed to these insects.
The exceedingly peculiar and interesting relations of the different parts of the intestinal canal, not very successfully explained by Leydig, — whose mistakes Lubbock was hardly more successful in correcting — but much better understood by
194
Targioni-Tozzetti, are elucidated, with some corrections to the last named author.
Under the head of organs accessory to the intestinal canal, the author announces the discovery of salivary glands, and it is to an exact exposition of the anatomical and histological nature of these organs that a large portion of the article is devoted. The organs in question have been previously seen and de- scribed, but, from a want of exact topographical and histological knowledge, have been incorrectly assigned to the nervous sys- tem. The salivary glands are found to exist in the Aphidae as well as in the Coccidae, and in both families have the same general plan of structure. A pair of sack-like, more or less extensively lobed glands, placed over the mouth-parts, and flanking the subcesophageal ganglion, are traversed each by an excretory duct, arising by a varying number of finely punc- tured tubes, and passing forward and downward to unite with its fellow of the opposite side to form a short stem; the latter empties directly into the cesophagus at its initial end.
Another organ, thought to be a second salivary gland, of - somewhat different function, is found to exist in certain of the Coccidae (Aspidiotus and Chionaspis).
The Malpighian vessels are very briefly considered.
The article is illustrated by three colored plates drawn by the author. Edward L. Mark.
Notes on Attaci.
Telea Polyphemus. Larva feeds upon birch, oak, elm, maple, hazel, cherry, walnut, willow, linden. I should think that the fact of its feeding upon willow might be of value to any one who intends to raise silk, for willow is easily cultivated and grows rapidly. From May 25 to July 15.
Actias Luna. Larva eats birch, oak, walnut, hop hornbeam, chestnut. I once found a small birch tree in Weston nearly stripped by Luna larve. I counted them carefully, and found that there were no less than forty-five. With this exception, I have never found more than five or six on one tree. Full grown larve vary very much in size. In the Can. Ent., vol. vi, p. 86, Mr. Gentry describes a variety of the larva in which
195
the general color is ‘* reddish brown inclining to dullness.” I have raised about five hundred Lunas, and to my knowledge no larva spun its cocoon without turning dull reddish brown some time before. The moths sometimes fly to a lamp. I have never been able to attract many by exposing a female; the largest number that I have attracted in one night is nine.
Callosamia Promethea. Warva eats button bush, cherry, sas- safras, spice bush, apple, ash, lilac. It is a curious fact that the males fly only during the afternoon, from about three to six o'clock. They often come in large numbers to a fresh female. I never saw a female flying by day; I think they fly by night only. Cocoons may be found often in large numbers, hanging on button bush, by river banks, in winter. I have often found hundreds thus in one day.
Platysamia Cecropia. Warva feeds upon button bush, apple, wild cherry, ash, barberry, blue-berry, birch, oak, hazel, maple, elder-berry, alder, jersey tree, buck thorn. Males often come in large numbers to a fresh female. I have taken forty-three in one evening. Males vary very much in color. I have one of a bright orange color, which came to a female. . Thazter.

Entomology at the Centennial Exhibition.
As the Centennial Exhibition is intended to display the in- dustrial products of all nations, silk insects and silk in its stages of manufacture form an important part of the entomological representation.
Of the States of the Union, California makes the finest dis- plays, one of feeding larvee, cocoons and raw silk, from Joseph Neumann of San Francisco, in the Main Building, and a simi- lar display in the State Building. E. V. Boissiere of Williams- burg, Kansas, exhibits cocoons and silk in the Main Building.
Undoubtedly the most interesting display of sericiculture is made by Capt. Luis de Rezende, in the Brazilian Department of Machinery Hall; this comprises eggs, feeding larvee, cocoons, and silk-reeling apparatus in operation.
In the East Indian Department of the Main Building are specimens of silk, figures of larvee, and imagos of Antheraea paphia [Saturnia mylitta Fab.], the Tussar silkworm; of Bombyx mori; of B. croesi, the Nistry silkworm; of crosses of B. mori and B. eroesi with each other, and with B. fortunatus, the Bengal or Dasee species; of B. huttoni, the native Him- alayan species ; and of Attacus ricini [Saturnia arrindia Miln.- Edw.], the Eria silkworm.
The Zodlogical and Acclimatization Society of Victoria ex- hibits a case containing cocoons of twenty varieties of Euro- pean, twenty of Oriental, and nine of Australian silkworms, the latter including Saturnia cecropia, S. ailanthus [\S. cynthia
Drury], S. yama-mai, S. eria [S. arrindia Miln.-Edw.], S.
202
pernyt, iS. selene, S. assama, and S. atlas.. Other silk exhibits are to be found in the departments of the Main Building occu- pied by Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and New South Wales, as well as from Spain, Portugal, Italy, Egypt, Chili, and Turkey, the last mentioned country exhibiting a very fine lot of cocoons and raw silk.
In the Agricultural Building, Portugal displays cocoons from many different exhibitors, and Japan shows silk and cocoons, and a few good illustrations of silk insects in different stages, including a figure of the internal anatomy of Bombyx mori, with explanatory notes, by N. Sasaki.
There are only a few collections arranged to illustrate scien- tific and economic entomology, yet several of them are excel- lent. At the head of the list should be placed the collection exhibited by the United States Agricultural Department, in the Government Building.’ This collection, numbering twenty- six cases of insects arranged by Mr. F. G. Sanborn, classifies the insects in accordance with the benefit or injury they do to man. For example, ‘ Insects injuring the Grape Vine, or its Fruit,” are represented in one case, and number thirty-one species. Silk-producing insects occupy two cases. Thirty-one species of insects beneficial as scavengers, and seventy species beneficial by destroying other insects are shown. A case is devoted to insecticidal devices, and another to insects avyail- able as food for man. A complete generic bill of fare enumer- ating the delicacies exhibited in this case would offer Oedipoda, Acridium, Rhomalea, Brachypeplus, Pezotettix, Phaneroptera, Phylloptera, Stenopelmatus, Caloptenus, Notonecta and eggs, and Corixa and eggs.
In the Kansas State Building is a fine exhibit, consisting of thirty cases of insects, of all the suborders, from that State. The specimens in this collection are very good, but the names, in some cases, are incorrectly given.
Canadian insects are represented, in the Agricultural Build- ing, by the best scientific collection on exhibition, consisting of forty-five cases of Lepidoptera, twenty-seven of Coleoptera,
1 For further description of this collection see “eld and Forest, Vol. ii, p. 21-24.

and fourteen of other insects, all carefully preserved and labelled, and tastily displayed. This very creditable exhibit is made by the Entomological Society of Ontario,! and exem- plifies what any active society can accomplish, by a few years of actual collecting, towards determining a local fauna. Chas. Foley, of Lindsay, Ontario, exhibits a few boxes of insects at the same place.
In the Brazilian Department of the Main Building is a fine collection of insects from the Province of Parana, belonging to J. Francisco Suplicy, of Lapa. This collection was exhib- ited in 1875, in the Fourth Brazilian Exhibition. A case of about two hundred well preserved Brazilian Lepidoptera is exhibited in Machinery Hall.
In the Main Building, the South Kensington Museum of London exhibits a series of galls, and figures of galls and gall- insects ; Queensland a case of Lepidoptera, containing about two hundred species; Victoria is represented by two cases, one of about three hundred species of Coleoptera, and the other of about two hundred species of Lepidoptera ; the Gov- ernment of the Orange Free States of South Africa has on exhibition two cases, containing about five hundred species of insects of all suborders ; Belgium exhibits in her model school- house a teaching collection, representing two hundred genera of insects, while a few other countries are unintentionally rep- resented by specimens of Bruchus emerging from leguminous seeds in their exhibits.
Mr. D. F. Taylor, Birmingham, England, exhibits in the Main Building a large lot of gilded insect pins. This is ap- parently the only exhibit of entomologists’ special apparatus outside of the case of insecticides in the Government Building.
A few plates or figures of insects are exhibited. The United States Government Building contains a series of about two hundred and seventy-five octavo plates of injurious insects, showing their mode of operation, by Townend Glover of Wash- ington.
In the Ladies’ Pavilion, six sample plates from Edwards’
1See New York Daily Graphic, xi, 494-495, for notes concerning this exhibit.

Butterflies of North America testify to Miss Peart’s extraordi- nary ability in figuring insects on stone. In the same build- ing, a Mrs. Stevens, seventy years old, exhibits a fine colored figure of Attacus cecropia.
In the gallery of the Main Building, Mr. L. Trouvelot, of Cambridge, Mass., exhibits a book of colored figures of the Lepidoptera of Massachusetts.
The educational department of the Government of the Neth- erlands exhibits four wall figures of structural entomology ; the Society for Public Utility, of Switzerland, a plate of figures of Phylloxera; and J. S. Bray, of Sydney, a photograph of a collection of twelve cases of insects, of all the suborders, from New South Wales; all in the Main Building.
Of insects used for ornamentation, there are a few poor exhibits. In the Main Building Melles. M. and E. Natté, of Rio de Janeiro, se]l the more brilliant species of Brazilian Col- eoptera and Lepidoptera, for decorative purposes.
Panels made by pressing butterflies and ferns between two glass plates, and supplying a background of dark paper, are exhibited in the British Department of the Main Building. In the East Indian Department of the same building, is a broad- brimmed palm-leaf hat beautifully decorated with a row of green elytra from a species of Indian Buprestis.
In the Agricultural Building, Mr. Richard Hartley, a tax- idermist of Philadelphia, exhibits a fancy design and two fig- ures of churches, one composed chiefly of Lepidoptera, and the other a Coleopterous structure, made of nothing but spec- imens of Chrysochus auratus, Melanctus communis, and Chrys- omela clivicollis.
For the benefit of entomologists who camp every summer, mention shou!d be made of models of tents exhibitd by Da- vies, Turner & Co., of London. Besides making some very convenient combined tents and hammocks, the firm manufac- tures a military tent, with camp bedsteads, suitable for eight- een men, which weighs but six and one-half pounds per man.
There are a few other exhibits of camping equipage, and, perhaps, some of insects, overlooked in my hasty visit, but I

have endeavored to give the entomology of the Centennial Exhibition as fully as the limited space allowed this article will permit. Geo. Dimmock.

In the Annals and Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 4, vol. xvii, p. 1-15 (Jan. 1876), Prof. T.

1 The place of Hemiscorpius is probably in the vicinity of this genus. It is charac- terized by Peters in the following words: —“Sternum as broad as the labial lobes of the second pair, Frontal margin scarcely emarginate. Body and extremities flattened. Tail slender, long, higher than broad, keeled, its sixth joint with two lateral tubercles (in the males) behind the base of the short sting. The hind lateral eye somewhat smaller, placed more inwards.” If the tubercles mentioned by Peters also exist in the females, Hemiscorpius is without doubt a good genus.
2 There is sometimes an accessory eye on one or both sides of cephalothorax, or the hind lateral eye is divided into two.

57 (58) “ Sternum longer than broad. Hands flat, angular.” . Scorpiops.
58 (57) Sternum broader than long. Hand-back forming, with the upper- side of the hand, a right or obtuse angle.
59 (60) Dorsal eyes situated nearly in the middle of cephalothorax, which is emarginate in front; dorsal eye-tubercle divided by a longitudinal middle groove. Hands rather thick. Tail somewhat strong, with strongly marked keels on all sides . . . oes ® elociontts:
60 (59) Dorsal eyes far in front of the centre of cophatonies ax; frontal margin not, or but little, emarginate; dorsal eye-tubercle destitute of a longitudinal middle groove. Hands flattened. ‘Tail slender.

Some of the genera are more fully defined, and the names of their authors and of the typical species, and the dates of
their establishment, are given in the work from which this is
derived. B. Pickman Mann.

CORRECTION OF ERRORS DETECTED,
.
(See note at hottom of p. 126. Defective or inverted type and wrong font letters are not corrected here. Some of these corrections have been made in a part of the edition.)
Down to the end of page 40, diphthongal letters are admitted in Latin names; after- wards not, unless quoted. In Rec., No, 66, the lettered divisions end with a semicolon, which should be changed toa period. In many later paragraphs, such lettered divi- sions are referred to with a comma between the numeral aud the letter; the comma should be omitted. The fonts of type used did not contain the properly accented let- ters for the words Société and Laboulbéne on p. 52, and the words Sallé and Guérin- Méneville on pp. 140, 141. The words Anomys, on p. 20, line 12; Microcentrus, on p. 20, line 28; maculata, on p. 47, line 3; Romalea, on p. 59, line —5 and p. 63, line —14; hyemalis, on p. 60, line 14; Crochiphora, p. 95, line 14; Telyphonus, on p. 107, line —10; Amadrya, on p. 133, line —18; Cremastocheilus, on p. 135, line 3; Crinus, on p. 151, line —10; Amadria, on p. 158, line —8; Blepharo-, on p. 159, line —9; Matthew?, on p- 181, line —25; and aerea, on p. 182, line 12, are printed as they occur in the articles recorded, but should be written respectively: Anomis, Microcentrum, maculatus, Rhoma- lea, hiemalis, Crociphora, Thelyphonus, Amydria, Cremastochilus, Cionus, Amydria, Blephari-, Mathewi, acraea. Many similar errors have been corrected in the text; quoted errors in English style are passed over without remark. Loxotaenia, on p. 15, line —12; Hyptiotes, on p. 32, line 11; Micrommata, on p. 131, line 3, ave etymolog- ically correct, but historically wrong; names historically correct, but etymologically wrong, are too numerous to mention, and are tolerated.

To North American Entomologists.
The undersigned beg leave SP al the following statement :—
ae published by the Cambridge Entomological Club, has met with such a favorable reception on all sides, that its contin- uance in its present form is assured, but it is found impossible within the limits of four pages each month to bring up to date the BrstiograPpHicaAL Rercorp or Norra American Envomot- OGY, indispensible to every entomologist. The members of the Club have therefore decided to double the munbers for January and February, and to make this enlargement permanent, if sufti- cient support is guaranteed before the first of March, 1875. To accomplish this, at least eighty new subscribers are needed.
PsycueE will contain such parts of the proceedings of the Cam- bridge Entomological Club as are of general interest, contribu- tions upon the habits of insects, lists of captures, and a record of all writings upon entomology published in North America, and of all foreign writings upon North American insects since the be- ginning of 1874, with a brief note on the contents of each.
The members also call the attention of collectors of insects to the value of Psycue as a medium for exchange, as lists of dupli- cates will be inserted at moderate rates.
The terms of Psycue are one dollar a year, in advance. No. 1 was issued May, 1874; but subscriptions may begin at any date. A specimen number will be sent on application. Address 3

Subscribers who have already paid for the first year can send the balance before May 1, 1875. After that date, until further notice, the price for the remaining twenty months will be one dollar and sixty cents. Foreign subscriptions, which may be sent in available postage-stamps, are reckoned at the rate of five shillings, six franes, or five marks to the dollar.
Notes on the history, habits and occurrence of insects and other Arthro- pods are solicited from all observers.
Advertisements will be inserted. till farther notice, at the rate of fifteen cents per hundred letters of running matter, for the first insertion. Lists of species in columns, three cents a species. Advertisements continued for two or more months will be charged half price for each subsequent insertion, but no advertisement will be taken for less than thirty cents for the first insertion.

COLEOPTERA FOR EXCHANCE.
The undersigned desires Coleoptera from all parts of North America: will give in exchange named Coleoptera, unnamed insects of other orders, ‘shells or plants. Small collections of named Coleoptera, illustrating the principal families, for sale on reasonable terms. Lists of duplicates fur- nished on application. Information concerning the habits or distribution of species, especially from New England and adjacent regions, will be very acceptable.
The attention of collectors is particularly called to the White Mountain region in New Hampshire, as affording the best field for the discovery of new and interesting forms in all orders. A partial list of the Coleoptera of that region, with descriptions of new species by Dr. LeConte, was pub- lished by me in the Proceedings of the Boston Society of Natural History
Vol. xvi, 1874, which will show what may be done by a few days collecting *
inthatregion. (Copies may be had at the Naturalists’ Agency, Salem.)
Many additional species have since been taken by the members of a collecting party last summer and it is proposed to publish, at some future time, a complete list of all insects found in that region, and the coope- ration of all collectors is invited, in order to make the list as complete as possible.

Dear Sir:
Since it is well recognized that labors for the advance- ment of science are rarely remunerative to the laborers, though benefiting society, persons who have the motive to undertake such labors expect from society at large that pecuniary assistance which is needed to give effect to their intentions. ;
The ‘Cambridge Entomological Club, tor which the undersigned are authorized to speak, is engaged in the prosecution of a work of recognized value, for the expense of which its slender resources are not sufficient.
This Club, having its headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts, but its membership distributed from Maine to California, has published, during nearly two years, a monthly periodical entitled Psycur. This magazine has contained, besides the class of matter usually found in an entomolog- ical publication, a current Bibliographical Record of all writings upon Entomology published in North America, and of all foreign writings upon North American Entomology, from the beginning of the year 1874. It is upou the value of this Record that the Club bases its claim for assistance from all persons disposed to render aid. Indeed, the magazine was start- ed principally as a channel for the publication of this Record, which has occupied about 60 out of the 136 pages already issued.
Past experience shows that an annual income of nearly one hundred and fifty dollars more than can be expected from ordinary subscriptions is needed to save the Club from exceeding its resources in the publication of this magazine. It has therefore. been determined to establish a publi- cation fund of at least two thousand doilars, the income of which is to be devoted solely to the publication of this magazine with its Record. Should this fund be secured, American Entomologists will have the satisfaction of possessing a current analysis of the literature of their own department more carefully prepared and more promptly issued than any which the students of other departments possess. The character of the analysis will readily be seen from the contents of the accompanying specimen. At the end of each yolume of PsycHr a classified index to the Record will be given.
_ The Committee therefore earnestly appeal to you for contributions to this fund, assuring you that while the largest generosity will be fully ap- preciated, any small sum will be gratefully received.
SAMUEL H. ScuppeERr. E. P. Austin. EDWARD BURGESS. GEO. DimMock.
Contributions may be sent to B. P. MANN, Cambridge, Mass. ; -
acknowledgements will be published upon the cover of Psycur.
i Any person who contributes toward this fund, before the Ist day of July, 1876, the sum of fifty dollars, will be enrolled as a PATRON of the Club, and will receive all its publications during life.

THE CAMBRIDCE ENTOMOLOCICAL CLUB Respectfully solicits from entomologists and the general public pecuniary assistance needed to defray the expenses of its gratu- itous labors for the promotion of North American Entomology.
This Club, having its headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts, but its membership distributed from Maine to California, has published, during nearly three years, a monthly periodical entitled Psycure. ‘Chis magazine has contained, besides the class of matter usually found in an entomolog- ical publication, a current Bibliographical Record. of all writings upon Entomology published in North America, and of all foreign writings upon North American Entomology, from the beginning of the year 1874. It is upou the value of this Record that the Club bases its claim for assistance from all persons disposed to render aid. Indeed, the magazine was start- ed principally as a channel for the publication of this Record, which has occupied about 80 out of the 176 pages already issued.
_ Past experience shows that an annual income of nearly one hundred and tifty dollars more than can be expected from ordinary subscriptions is needed to save the Club from exceeding its resources in the publication of this magazine. It has therefore been determined to establish a publi- -eation fund of at least two thousand doilars, the income of which is to be
devoted solely to the publication of this magazine with its Record. Should this fund be secured, American Entomologists will have the satisfaction of possessing a current analysis of the literature of their own department more carefully prepared and more prompily issued than any which the students of other departments possess. At the end of each volume of PsYCHE a classi- fied index to the Record will be given; this index, in itself, will consti- tute a treatise upon entomology more instructive and comprehensive, in a small space, than is obtainable elsewhere.
All persons who are disposed to contribute to this fund may rest assured that while the largest generosity will be fully appreciated, any small sum will be gratefully received, and all the means placed at the disposal of the Club will be used in the most impartial manner for the -benetit of North American entomologists, without regard to further terri- torial distinctions.
$< Contributions may be sent to B. Pickman Mann, Cam- _ bridge, Mass. ; acknowledgements will be made by letter, and will be published on the cover of Psycue.
; Mr. ©. V. Riley writes, in contributing five dollars to the publication fund of Psycur: “I will be one of a hundred to contribute twenty-tive dollars, and whenever you secure the other ninety-nine, call on me for the additional twenty dollars. There ought to bea hundred entomologists in the country, willing to thus establish your little Bulletin, which, if not run in the interest of any local faction, may become invaluable.”
Four persons have promised already to contribute on these conditions.
