Eucosma Pergandeana, n. sp.— Expanse of wings, 16–20 mm. Head, palpi except a touch of fuscous on the outside, basal segment of the antennæ, whitel flagellum of antennæ fuscous, annulate with white. Thorax varying from white to pale straw colour.Ground colour of fore wings white or pale cream colour; the outer half of the costa with about eight oblique fuscous lines, which are lost in the fuscous dorsal portion of the wing. The remaining portion of the wing is streaked longitudinally with fuscous, but so diffuse as to render the lines very indistinct, and the surface behind and beyond the cell is nearly unifromly pale grayish fuscous in some specimens; the ocelloid patch near the anal angle is represented by fragments of three fine blackish lines, more or less obliterated and broken by a short vertical bar of more of les distinct metallic pale gray scales; a similar one beyond follows the outer margin and joins the first below, but is broken near the middle of its course.

During his study of the ecology of red pine plantations, Mr. J. L. Martin, Forest Insect Laboratory, Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, found a species of Laspeyresia feeding as larvae under the bark of living trees. This species is described here to enable him to report on the results of his investigation.Laspeyresia resinosae, new speciesAntenna, head, thorax, and abdomen powdery-grey. Basal half of forewing grey; outer half blackish, with cupreous reflections, the tips of the scales ochreous; outer three-fifths of costa with four pairs of silvery-white geminations; the basal pair of geminations fuse into a single, angular, transverse, shiny-leaden fascia, that extends to the trailing margin just beyond the middle; a similar fascia arises from the second costal geminations, and extends only to the fold; a third leaden fascia arises from the apical geminations, extends irregularly to the tornus, and is broken into three almost equal sections; the central portions of the second and third fasciae are narrowly margined with a few black scales, representing a very poorly defined ocelloid patch; outer margin with a very distinct black line basad to the shiny leaden fringe; the black line cut by three white dashes, two opposite the breaks in the outer, transverse fascia, and the third at the tornal end of that fascia. Hind wing powdery-grey; fringe dirty-white with darker basal line. Under-surface and legs silvery-grey. Tarsi black banded. Wingspread: 9.5-10.5 mm. Moth in late June and early July.

While studying the specializations of the wing in the Papilionides, the general results of which are published in the Proc. Am. Philosophical Society, Jan., 1899, I found that Iphiclides, Ajax, Marcellus, etc., differed so strongly from the type of Turnus as to be generically separable. Ajax is, in fact, allied to species having a greenish or yellowish white ground colour, from South America and the Old World, while Turnus is evidently related to the black North American forms, Troilus, etc., with which it flies. This fact enables me to draw the probable conclusion that Glaucus represents the original colour of the species, which, so to speak, is turning into Turnus, The black ♀ Glaucus is the more conservative whereas the males are already, with very rare exceptions, of the yellow tape of Turnus. It is different with certain cases of so-called “melanism,” now spreading in Europe, as Eubyja var. Doubledayaria and Aglia vars. fere-nigra and melaina. Here the original ground colour is changing to black indifferently in both sexes.

Stiria aliaga, n. sp.—♂. Expanse, 30 mm.Ground colour even chrome-yellow, a shade lighter beyond t.p. line. Small ochraceous spot at inner thrid of cell, one towards its outer end and traces of one beyond. These are about equidistant from each other. T. p. line the only other marking on fore wing. This is quite faint, ochraceous, wavy and cannot be followed to costa in the speciments before me. The fringe is darker than wing, of a somewhat “Ashes of Roses” colour.

Histological Features

Ellipsoid lagenostomalean ovules previously regarded as Conostoma oblongum are recognized as a distinct species based on shape, number of vascular bundles, and histological features of the integument. Conostoma williamsonii n. sp. is shorter and broader than C. oblongum and possesses a larger number (eight or nine) of vascular bundles. Features of the integument are similar to those of C. oblongum and C. chappellicum and include a smooth outer margin and a two-zoned sclerotesta. Conostoma williamsonii increases our understanding of the diversity of lagenostomalean ovules during the Middle Pennsylvanian and calls to question the occurrence of C. oblongum in currently known North American coal-ball floras.

Varietal Name

Melitœa Chalcedon, ab. fusimacula.— Variations of Chalcedon are very common, but the ones I now describe are so striking that they are certainly worthy of a varietal name, especially as they do not seem to be so very uncommon. In the first of these, to which I have given the name Fusimacula, there is a tendency to obliteration of the spots on discs of both wings, and to a fusion of the three outer rows of spots in a horizontal direction. The ground colour of the upper surface is of the same rich black as Chalcedon. There is a complete absence of the spots in the cells of both fore and hind wings in males, and there are but faint traces of them in the females. On the fore wings the fusion takes place as follows: The two outer rows unite to form a yellow band, which is joined at about its middle by a yellow demi-band from the costa, which is composed of the fusion of the two inner rows.

A new species, Boholina reductasp. nov., was found in a brackish pool within an anchialine cave in Tra Ban Island in Bai Tu Long Bay, north Vietnam. The new species is clearly distinguished from all the six species currently known in the genus Boholina by the following unique characteristics: reduction of the septum between gonopores; narrow and pointed rostrum; basal segment of mandibular palp armed with three setae; maxillule without seta on the basal exite, and exopod with 11 setae; second and third endopodal segments of the maxilliped bearing three setae each; exopod of male right leg 5 2-segmented, with two strong and one vestigial spines on the outer margin of the distal segment; and last exopodal segment of female leg 5 bearing only one spine on the outer margin. We provide a description of the new species, along with detailed illustrations and scanning electron microscopy photographs. The identification key to Boholina species is updated as well. This is the first record of the genus Boholina from Vietnam.

Ground Colour

General colour very dary blackish brown, with a sight purplish tinge, quite smooth and somewhat shinny. Ordinary marking jet black, but not conspicuous, owing to the similarity in shade with the ground colour. The distinct black, more or less solidly filled claviform and the yellow-filled reniform are the most conspicuous features in teh maculation. Basal line present through fragmentary, represented by two blackish dots on costa, in one speciment with some whitish scales between them, forming a more or less evident dot, in the other speciment this si not so noticeable, the line is also evident between the median and submedian veins, though in a lighter, diffused sort of way.

Aristotelia Youngella, sp. nov.—Head. antennæ, palpi, thorax abdomen and legs shining iridescent green. Basal half of front wing and outer half along costa black or very dark brown, heavily overlaid with iridescent green. The dark basal half is outwardly margined by the black ground colour, owing to absence of the iridescent scales at this point. All the outer half of wing, except the dark costal streak, is dull ochreous, inwardly margined by a pale yellow line, the latter adjoining the dark line of ground colour outlining the basal half.

1. E. castanea, sp. nov.♂. The form of the wings is exactly like that of Senegalensis, H. S. Upperside.—The ground colour is rich chestnut-brown, marked by broad black series of spots and bands. Upon the primaries these markings are as follows:-In the cell a longtiudinal basal streak, a transverse line, a figure 8, a twice curved transverse line, and a broad bar at the end of the cell constricted in the middle; below the cell there is a short basal band curving inwardly; beyond the cell there is a wide band running from the costa toward the outer margin as far as the lower radial; and then abruptly turning and extending to the middle of the inner margin; beyond this is a broad band of diffuse spots, wide on the costa, narrower beyond the end of the cell, and gradually widening as it apporaches the inner margin; beyond this is a submarginal series of very black round spots.
