7'2 PSYCHE,
[June 1900.
crennlate on outer side ; more produced sec- ond lobes, also crenulatc; longer epines, etc. 6. Asfidioius lataniae Sign. -On a cocoa- nut palm from Central America. The living is bright lemon yellow; the second and
third lobes are represented by little spear- head shaped lobules, as Green figures in A. ciimclliue.
7. Sjafheasjis secrefa (Ckll.) -Japan,
on bamboo. The living $ is pale pinkish
lilac, with the caudal parts brown; caustic potash turns the $ bright apple green. Eggs pale liliic.
8. Sftatkeaspis. ba?~tflz~rrum (Ckll.). - bpan, on bamboo.
I am willing to recog-
nize Sfathcas-pis (or 0donas$is} as a valid genus, and Proggattiella Leonard! (type
S'f'aiheasjz"~ ifitdsZtulii') as a good subgenus of it; but it seems to me that Anojlasfis Leonardi (type 3. Smbiisfirufii) is scarcely to be separated from Froggattiella.
9. Chrysom~huhs ~cutiformis, (Ckll.). -
On leaves ot cocoanut palm from Central
America.
SOME MATIKG XOTES.-ID the summer of
1899 several larvae of J). rnbicmida were brought me. They were nearly full fed and soon pupated. On Aug. 3rd a $? moth
emerged and bcgan ovipositing before her wings were fully developed, and before 3 p.m. The next day two males emerged in the
same cage, and one must have muted with
the feinale, although I did not see them in coition.
The sixty eggs laid before the males
emerged remained nnchiinged, while those Isiicl latcr became orangi;, then greenish, then almost colorless, and hatched on A~iff- list 20th.
This is the first instance I have had of a moth's mating lifter ovipositing lid
begun.
On April loth, 1900, v. $ A, cecro$ia
emerged in one of my cages.
Next Say a
2 and a second 8 emerged, and after mid- night the ? and the first $ mated. The
following night the f laid 31 eggs. On the next night she laid 64 eggs, on the next 48 eggs, and 011 this']night she mated with the second male, remaining in coition from a little after midnight until 6.15 p. m.
On tins night she laid 73 eggs, mid con- tinued ovipositing for two nights, laving 269 eggs in all, then died next day. The two males died on the day following their mating. Caroline G. Soule.
