The eggs of this rare species were kindly sent me from Tacubaja, Mexico by Mr. O. W. Barrett. The food-plant of the caterpillar was unknown to him. Heretofore we have only had the figures of the mature larva of three species of this genus, and four sketches of the caterpillar of A. armida, the better known species of this interesting genus, which ranges from Mexico to Brazil. The larva figured by Madam Merian, Stoll, Burmeister, and by Peters, is represented as being smooth, without any tubercles, horns, or hairs.

The morphology of larva and pupa, as well as larval mines of Elachista zonulae (Sruoga, 1992) are described and illustrated for the first time. Carex firma Host is reported as a new host plant ofthe species; previously only Carex sempervirens Vill. was known to be host plant of E. zonulae. Some information on life history of this elachistid moth is also provided. The mature larva is 4.5—5.5 mm long. Pupation takes place usually at base of leaf blade of the food plant. The species is univoltine and hibernates as young larva.

On 20th June, 1884, I found on edge of leaf of an Aspen, P. tremuloides, a young larva of species of Nisoniades unknorvn. A small bit of the leaf was cut on two sides perpendicular to the edge, folded over and stitched down. At a little distance from this shelter a hole was eaten in the leaf. Two days later the hole was enlarged and the larva evidently had left its nest and returned to it after feeding. On 27th June one moult was passed, supposed to be the first; on 5th July a second; on 16th July a third. This was the last moult, but I am not sure that one did not take place between the 5th and 16th. It is probable there were four moults, as N. Lucilius is reported by Prof. Lintner to moult four times. The larva was kept in a jelly glass, and being always concealed in a leaf, a moult might have escaped me.

The objective of this study was to determine the relationship of C. fasciolaris with common rats. Cysticercus fasciolaris is the larval stage of Taenia taeniaeformis . Development of metacestodes ( Cysticercus fasciolaris) occur in the liver of rodents. An urban and a sylvatic cycle occurs. A total of 40 liver specimens of rats were examined. Histopathological examination revealed the presence of multiple hepatic cysts, and the C. fasciolaris larva was surrounded by granulation tissue. Large and separated ûbroblasts in different orientations with some neoplastic changes were seen in advanced hepatic cysticercosis. The bladder involved the larva and large chamber containing the small chamber and opalescent fluid. The scolex of the mature larva is distinctly large, bearing four lateral distinct suckers, a rostellum armed with double, and alternating rows of hooks.
