Larva of Arzama obliquate Grote.–Found April 23rd, under the bark of a dead maple about three feet from the ground, where it had made for itself an oval cavity in the dust.Head small and black; head and first four segments flattened above Ist segment black, edged with light brown and with a light brown dorsal stripe; remaining segments dull olivaceous brown, slightly pubescent,and having the greasy appearance of an Agrotis larva. No dorsal stripe back of Ist segment; Ist and 2nd segments project laterally over stigmata; immediately below the stigmata on each side is a faint, narrow, brown stripe, below which the color is much lighter. Anal segment with a fleshy fold slightly resembling that of Catocala crataegi.
A NEW SILK-SPINNING CHALCID
Authors: Howard L. O. 
Published: February 2010

During the summer of 1879, while working with Professor Comstock upon the natural enemies of the cotton worm, I came across the following passage in his fleld notes of the previous year :—“August 27.–I found yesterday a cotton worm about five-eighths of an inch in length, which, though yet alive, was being destroyed by three green larvæ which were upon it. I found the specimens abont 10 a. m. Last evening I observed that the cotton worm was nearly eaten. The parasites had very short bodies, which, when they moved, were pointed at one end. I had intended to describe the specimens, but I find that they have spun cocoons about their bodies.

ADDITIONAL NOTES ON THE GENUS ANTIGASTER OF WALSH
Authors: Howard L. O. 
Published: February 2010

In the light of Professor Riley's recent criticism (American Entomologist, December, 1880,) upon my conclusion that Antigaster Walsh is synonymous with Eupelmus Dalm., I have gone over the ground again with his objections before me, and still adhere to my original view. The objections may be summed up as follows :1st. Antigaster has 10-jointed antennæ ; Eypelmus (according to Westwood) has 13.
PROFESSOR FERNALD'S SYNONYMICAL CATALOGUE OF NORTH AMERICAN TORTRICIDÆ
Authors: Grote A. R. 
Published: February 2010

The reader of the Canadian Entomologist will recall the first paper on the Tortricidœ, by Professor Fernald, who has been kind enough to send me advance sheets of his Catalogue of the Family now being published in Philadelphia.At the time when Professor Fernald commenced his studies he paid me the complinent of asking my advice as to the group of Lepidoptera he should work upon. In advising him to take the Tortricidœ, I was influenced by my belief in his patience and scientific ability. No family of Lepidoptera which I have studied, except perhaps the phycidœ, are as difficult as the Tortrices, or call for more diligent examination and careful manipulation. I had been bringing together material for a study of the Tortricidœ, and had described a few species and the genus Phaecasiophora, when Professor Fernald wrote to me. I was thus in a position to be of the slight assistance which Professor Fernald has, I am afraid, overestimated in his original paper alluded to above.

Fota armata Grote.This has somewhat the form of Stilbia; the fringes are long on secondaries. A second female like type in size has the black submedian dash wanting, and the filling on cell, but hind wings are like type in being pale fuscous. Base of forewings above pale ochrey shaded. Another has the primary all gray; Armata may be known by its larger size, fuscous secondary and different sculpture of clypeal armature.Whether the following are really different I do not know I they appear to be so most certainly.

DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES OF DIURNAL LEPIDOPTERA, FOUND IN BRITISH AMERICA AND THE UNITED STATES
Authors: Edwards W. H. 
Published: February 2010

Upper side dark fulvous, the base of primalies largely black, of secondaries still more, the black area extending to middle of disk, effacing all markings; the spots of both wings outside the basal area as in Chariclea, but the narrow spots on primaries are unusually large, with ragged edges, and the mesial band is heavy and diffused; on secondaries this band is lost in the black ground.Under side of primaries nearly as in Chariclea, but there is scarcely any yellow at apex or along hind margin, all this area being deep red; a few yellow scales only at apex and in middle of the marginal interspaces, to represent the spots and patches of Chariclea; the submarginal lunules almost lost in the red ground.
OBSERVATIONS ON LIMENITIS ARTHEMIS
Authors: Heustis C. E. 
Published: February 2010

I was much interested in an article in Vol. xiii. of the Canadian Entomologist, by Mr. W. H. Edwards, entitled. “Is Limenitis arthemis double-brooded?” My own observations previous to the time of reading the article were confirmatory of Mr. Edwards' theory; but I wished to learn more of this interesting species before hazarding any remarks concerning its habits.I have never reared or attempted to rear arthemis from the egg, but have one specimen obtained from a full-fed larva found on the 2nd July, 1877. It went into chrysalis on the 3rd, and the imago appeared on the 16th, I have seen fresh looking specimens on 1st July, when enjoying, with other citizens, “Dominion Day” in the country. Later than this I have not seen a fresh specimen, excepting the example before recorded.

NOTES ON THE ENTOMOLOGY OF VANCOUVER ISLAND
Authors: Taylor Geo. W. 
Published: February 2010

Since I came to this island, a couple of seasons ago, I have made a practice of capturing any insects that came in my way, and I have sometimes made an expedition purposely in pursuit of such prey. The result is an accumulation of about one thousand species of all orders, which probably represents not more than five per cent. of our insect population.As my favorite studies are in another department of Zoology, I have neither the inclination nor sufficient knowledge to work out all this material myself, but with the help of entomologicai friends, resident, alas! sadly, too far off, I am gradually making progress with the naming of my captures, and I propose, with your permission, to publish from time to time in the Canadian Entomologist, lists, with notes, of the species that have occurred to me. I hope that this will be both useful and interesting to Eastern entomologists, as I notice that hardly more than one half of the insects I have already identified are named in the recently published check list of Messrs. Brodie & White, and many of them will prove, I think, new to science.

Published: February 2010

The Lepidoptera of Ceylon, by F. Moore, F.Z.S., Vol. I., (published under the special patronage of the Government of Ceylon) London, L., Reeve ' Co., 1880–81. 4°.The butterflies of the East India region apper to be now in a fair way of receiving their due share of attention. We have already called attention to Distant's invaluable work on the Malayan butteflies, and to the handbook to the butteflies of India and Burmah, by Marshall and De Nicéville. On many accounts neither ofthese is so important as the earlier work on the Lepidoptera of Ceylon by Frederick Moore, Which we desire to introduce to the readers of the Canadian Entomologist, principally on account of the very considerable accession to our knowledge of the eariler stages of eastern butterflies which is here given in the plates, and also to draw attention to the notes on the natural history of the insects given by Dr. Thwantes, which are emboided in the text.

Cucullia Hartmanni, n sp.Expanse 1.75 inches, length of body .75 inch. General color of fore wings pale gray, so suffused in places with dark gray as to give the wings a moderately dark gray cast, but not so dark as C. intermedia, Spey. Lines black, basal half line only indicated on the costa. T. a line double; the inner part almost imperceptible; strongly dentate, from its origin projecting obliquely outward to a strong tooth on the fold in the discal cell, with a short tooth on the fold between the costal and subcostal veins; from discal tooth it receds to median vein a little nearer the body than its inception on the costa; from this it extends out in another tooth nearly twice as far out as the discal tooth, the point resting on the submedian fold, almost reaching the infection of the t.p. line, the points of both lines nearly obsolete in a white patch at this place that fades out into the general color; about the middle of the space from teh median vein to submedian fold a brownish black spur is sent our parallel with the median vein, terminating above the middle of the white patch; the line reaches the posterior margin by another inflexoon on submedian vein, and another outward tooth below the vein.

Upper side brown-black, marked with spots of red and yellow in transverse bands; there are three well marked varieties, in one of which red predominates, sometimes almost to the exclusion of yellow; in another red and yellow, much as in other allied species; on the third much yellow, very little red; in all the spots are small, so that the black surface is more exposed than in many species.
FURTHER NOTES ON CHIONOBAS JUTTA
Authors: Fyles Thomas. W. 
Published: February 2010

Our President has asked me what methods I adopted for the raising of C. jutta from the egg. I will endeavour of describe them.As it is well known the larvæ of the genus Chionobas feed on grasses, my first care was to determine what grasses were to be found in the haunts of Jutta, and to notice the circumstances under which they grew. I found several, all rooted in the sphagnum of the swamp. I took home roots of ever kind, and potted them in sphagnum, being careful to close the hole in the bottom of each flower pot with a cork, and to soak the plants throughly with rain water.

A LIST OF THE BUTTERFLIES OF PHILADELPHIA, PA
Authors: Skinner Henry , AARON E. M. 
Published: February 2010

Pyrameis Cardui— Usually common; some years quite rare.Junonia cœnia.— Quite local; never very common. Mr. Scudder, on page 501, speaks of its “rapid, strong and enduring flight.” This would seem to indicate that the habits of this insect in the New England States differ materially from those in this locality or further south. It is rare that this butterfly is here observed over a foot from the ground, and then its flight is most erractic, and usually consists of a new fluttering strokes of the wing followed by an idel sail. This is also the manner of flight from Virginia to Florida, according to the observtions of E. M. Aaron.
PRELIMINARY CATALOGUE OF THE ARCTIIDÆ OF TEMPERATE NORTH AMERICA, WITH NOTES
Authors: Smith John. B. 
Published: February 2010

In the previous paper I explained the sense in which this term is used, and nothing further in the way of definition need be said on that head.Genus Crocota Hbn.1816—Verzeichniss; Samml. Eur. Schm., III., 254.This genus is in a sad state. It is almost impossible to identify species satisfactorily, and yet new species are constantly described. The matter has been further confused by Mr. Grote's persistent refusal to refer to Mr. Reakirt's species, for without referring them positively as synonyms to any species, he says he cannot believe that they refer to species different from those recognized by him, and therefore he ignores them altogether.
