A LIST OF DIURNAL LEPIDOPTERA INHABITING THE STATE OF ILLINOIS
Authors: Worthington C. E. 
Published: February 2010

The following list is furnished in compliance with the request of the Editor of the Canadian Entomologist, published some time ago, some unsettled questions regarding species and distribution having delayed its preparation from time to time.The list is intended to be as complete as possible, and to include all described species known to have been taken within the State limits, or so nearly adjacent thereto as to certainly belong to the Illinois Fauna. In order to roughly designate the distribution within the State I have attached an to all species from the northern portion, of whose capture I have personal knowledge, and have further affixed a to such species as are not known to occur in the southern portion of the State.
NORTH AMERICAN NOCTUIDÆ IN THE ZUTRAEGE.: FIRST HUNDRED

ON TWO NEW CHALCID FLIES FROM FLORIDA, PARASITIC UPON THE LARVÆ OF SYRPHUS FLIES
Authors: Ashmead WM. H. 
Published: February 2010

Having continued my investigations on Orange Insects, I have made many other discoveries. Among these probably the most interesting is the breeding of two species of Chalcids from the larvæ of Syrphus flies.Now, as a general rule, the Chalcididæ must be considered beneficial, the majority of them preying upon other insects injurious to the agriculturist, the species belonging to the Eurytomide genus Isosoma, being, I believe, the only vegetable feeders known among them.
ENTOMOLOGICAL NOTES
Authors: Hagen H. A. 
Published: February 2010

I. Cecidomyia spec. on Aristolochia sipho.Flat rounded galls on the under side of the leaves, pale, somewhat transparent, pale greenish, 4 mil. diam. On the upper side of the leaf the gall becomes a slightly elevated disk marked with dark red and having in the middle a small pale-bordered hole. The galls grow larger and more globular on the stems of the leaves, to globes of 8 mil. diam., some more elongated, 18 mil. long and 8 mil. broad. The larvæ are brick red, 3 mil. long, very agile. I find no species on Aristolochia described by Osten Sacken and others.

Cynips (Q. Californica, n. sp.Galls: Polythalamous, sessile on the branches of the Californian White Oak (Quercus Hindsii ?) Sub-globular, but varying much in form and size. A common form is what may be termed balloon-shaped, the upper part perfectly globular, the lower tapering more or less to the sessile base. They often occur of a long compressed oval form: these are placed longitudinally on the branch and the length is two or three times their breadth or thickness.

ON A GIGANTIC CHALCID FLY INHABITING FLORIDA
Authors: Ashmead WM. H. 
Published: February 2010

In the spring of 1880, while collecting Coleoptera, I secured a ♀ of a large species of Chalcid belonging to the genus Smicra, which is apparently unknown to the scientific world.The specimen was captured on an oak shrub, in close proximity to an empty polyphemus cocoon. Could it have hatched from it ? This is not improbable, as Prof. C. V. Riley's Smicra mariœ was bred from this moth, and other species of the genus are known to be parasitic upon the larvæ of our larger moths.
NORTH AMERICAN NOCTUIDAE IN THE ZUTRAEGE.—FOURTH AND FIFTH HUNDREDS
Authors: Grote A. R. 
Published: February 2010

Oria sanguinea, 9, fig. 613–614.“Georgia.” This species has been generally recognized. Oria is used for maculosa in the Verzeichniss, from which sanguinea is distinct structurally. I have referred the latter as the type of Porrima in the Chheck List, No. 664. The doubtful reference there to Fitch's volupia must be struck out.

Cynips tenuicornis, n. sp.Galls : Densely hairy hemispherical masses attached by a single small point to the upper or under surface of the leaves of an unknown species of oak found in Arizona. They are from one-half to three-fourths of an inch in diameter. One specimen in my collection is nearly globular, but all the others are hemispherical, the flat side lying close upon the surface of the leaf.
A PHYSIOLOGICAL ARRANGEMENT OF INSECTS
Authors: Swinton A. H. 
Published: February 2010

Having in times gone by perused with interest certain essays from the pen of the late Edward Newman on the subject of a true or physiological arrangement of Insecta, may I now be allowed to call attention to the additional evidence adducible from the recent investigations of their organs of sensation, a matter I had latery the honor of placing before public attention in my book, Insect Variety.Viewed in this new light, the presence of auditory organs and welldeveloped eyes place the Orthoptera first in this list; and these would be followed by a group of the Homoptera, the Cicadidœ, where we find the auditory organs are highly developed, but sight less potent. Next to these appear to come Lepidoptera, where the Nocturni stand first as having well-defined auditory organs, and the Diurni second from reason of their excellent optic organs. Then would follow Coleoptera, which as far as Europe is concerned, certainly give evidence of possessing auditory apparatuses in two of their groups, the Lamellicornia and, Longicornia, although in the latter the visual organs are imperfect. As far as I can learn, the species of Hymenoptera, Neuroptera and Diptera, have the auditory sense, if present, much less potent; but sight, smell and touch are evident and variously developed. This perfectly harmonizes with Newman's circular view, given in the Entomologist, vol. iv., p. 236.
MR. S. H. SCUDDER'S NOMENCLATOR ZOOLOGUS
Authors: Grote A. R. 
Published: February 2010

Science is much indebted to Mr. Scudder for a great deal of very dry and tiresome work in the preparation of Catalogues. We have already from his pen a list of the generic names used for Butterflies, and now in a thick octavo volume of 376 pages we have a “list of generic names employed in Zoology and Palaeontology to the close of the year 1879, chiefly supplemental to those catalogued by Agassiz and Marschall, or indexed in the Zoological Record.”The list is beautifully and clearly printed and the proof reading has been exceedingly careful. After having gone over a number of names and after spending some hours with the book, I have found but one error of spelling. The labor of compiling the list has been evidently great, and Mr. Scudder speaks of it in terms which shows how arduous it really was. The author was helped by those to whom he applied for lists of the generic names proposed by them, however, and Prof. Marsh went to the trouble of printing the references to his own numerous genera.
DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES OF COPÆODES

Copæodes Wrighth.Male.—Expands .9 inch.Upper side yellow-ochre color; costal margin of primaries black on the edge, and hind margins of both wings edged black, scarcely more than a line; costal margin of secondaries broadly bordered black; the ends of the nervules on primaries edged black for a little distance; on the disk a black sexual narrow bar, broken into three parts, and crossing obliquely the lower median and submedian interspaces; fringes pale black shading into whitish.Under side pale yellow-ochre of one shade; a little dusky near base of primaries, otherwise immaculate.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREPARATORY STAGES OF NEONYMPHA AREOLATUS, Smith–Abbot
Authors: Edwards W. H. 
Published: February 2010

Egg—Nearly globular; the surface smooth under a low power, but under a high one, thickly covered with shallow depressions, which are irregular in size and also in form, being pentagonal, rounded or oval; color pale green. Duration of this stage about 6 days.Young Larva.—Length .12 inch; cylindrical, nearly even, tapering a little posteriorly, the last segment bluntly forked; color delicate green; over the surface many white hairs, and among these are black clubbed hairs disposed in longitudinal rows, four on the dorsum of each segment, two in front, two in rear; feet and legs green; head large, about twice as broad as any body segment, sub-globose, a little depressed at top; on each vertex a short semi-ovoid appendage, at the top giving out two divergent black hairs; just below vertex, on the front, is a similar smaller appendage with single hair, and on the side half way down is a second; color black. Towards the end of this stage the color of body changes to decided green, and several longitudinal stripes appear; on either side of a dark green medio-dorsal stripe is a whitish one, a similar one on middle of side and another along base. Duration of this stage about 8 days, but depending on the weather.
CLOTHES MOTHS
Authors: Fernald C. H. 
Published: February 2010

Nearly a year ago my attention was especially called to the insects which prey upon woolen fabrics, and which are generally known as “clothes moths.” In going over the literature of the subject at that time and comparing it with the notes which I had made from time to time, I became convinced that what we have in our books pertaining to these insects is very imperfect and faulty, and that there was need of a thorough revision. This held true, not only of the species which destroy clothing, but also of many other species in the family Tineidœ.I therefore obtained, by purchase and otherwise, as large a collection as possible from all parts of the United States—over twelve hundred specimens—and sent them to Lord Walsingham, in England, for comparison with the European species. This collection has just been returned to me, and the notes and descriptions which his lordship has made on it will soon appear in the Trans. Am. Ent. Soc.
NEW MOTHS, CHIEFLY FROM ARIZONA
Authors: Grote A. R. 
Published: February 2010

Hadena idonea, n. s.♂ ♀. This species is similar in size to verbascoides and cariosa; it is very like the latter only instead of reddish brown the color is of an ochrey brown, rather pale, the stigmata concolorous, rather wide, illdefined, separated by the dark median shade. The claviform spot is open, and stretches across the median field nearly touching the even t. p. line. Lines geminate, marked on costa. A slight, irregular basal streak and one below it on internal margin. Terminal field dark shaded, obtaining twice, opposite cell and at internal angle. Fringes dark cut with pale. Hind wings very dark, with paler fringes, concolorous, an indication of discal mark; beneath with faint double extra-mesial lines; the narrow terminal space paler on both wings. The costa of fore wings is more or less pale. Abdomen tufted. This species is more ochrey than vulgaris. Texas, Kansas, Wisconsin.
NOTES ON A GALL MITE OF THE NETTLE TREE (Celtis occidentalis)
Authors: Fyles T. W. 
Published: February 2010

Gall, formed on the under side of the leaf, pear-shaped, half an inch long, forms a cup-like indentation on the upper surface. I have counted eighteen galls on one leaf. One mite in a gall.Mite, one-tenth of an inch long. Eyes large and protuberant, light red. Antennæ moniliform, ten-jointed—the basal joint and that next it being much larger than the rest. Proboscis for suction. Four undeveloped wings—mere protuberances in the case of some (probably younger) specimens—generally translucent, but in some instances smoky brown. Legs, six in number, hairy, semi-transparent. Abdomen much enlarged, topshaped, the three last segments reddish brown. Tuft of terminal spines of the same color. The creature has a gelatinous appearance; and this, together with its agitation when disturbed, reminds one of Young Blight's description of Old Dolls: “All a-shaking like glue monge.” It attains its growth in August and becomes quiescent.
