MISCELLANEOUS

INSECTS. I also exhibit a

number

of alcoholic_speci-

mens

of the larva and _pupa, as also a

mounted imago

^{of the brilliant}

black, green and ^rust-red Lepidopteron,

Eumenia

atala Poey, recently collectedby Mr. Schwarz^atCocoanut Grove,Fla.,on

Zamia

integrifolia.

The

insect, onaccount ofits brilliancy and its bright reddish ^larva,has been _frequentlytreatedof. Ialsoexhibitanother Lepidopteron ^{a Noct-} uid received from Mr. Schwarz,viz., Cloaiithaderupta Morr.^{, the larva} ofwhich Mr. Schwarz found

upon Egg

plantⁱⁿ southeasternFlorida. It is interesting because of the great general resemblance whichthe larva bearstothatof

Laphygma

frugiperda.

Finally, ^I would present specimens ^{of a}

new

_genus, Dendrotettix, family Acrididce. ^I had reared the specieswhich formed the type of the genus

many

yearsago^{inMissouriinall its}stages, and propose^todescribe

it underthe_specific

name

of_quercus.

The

peculiarityof thegenus^isthat, as far as

we

_know,itisessentially tree-inhabiting.

ZARHIPIS.

Iexhibitherewith

some

further larvae ofZarhipis and ^itsfemale.

As

compared^withPhengodes^thisZarhipis^larvais

somewhat more

_depressed,

more

parallel-sided, thethoracic_jointslessattenuated,andthe pro-thoracic joint ^is

more

particularly shorter and transverse.

When

immature the colorispale,with butlittlebrown,but

when

full

grown

^{thecolorbecomes} darker brown, ^{an'd the} _{general aspect,}

when

the larva is stretched and active, ^isonethat recalls the Myriapods

upon

^{which it feeds.}

The

dead and_dryspecimens convey^butapoor^{ideaof thereal} form, ^{as in life} the larvacan stretch to

more

than two inches in lengthandcrawls_easilyand rapidly.

The

structureof thehead isessentiallysimilarbutdiffersnotably in the followingparticulars^:

The

head itself is broader and

more

trans- verse, with the jaws ^broader and _apparently

more

_stronglyelbowed near base.

The

antennaehaveavery strongbulbusandare three-jointed, as in Phengodes; the nipple or terminal joint being stronger andthesecond jointbeing

more

oftenelbowed on thebasil, ^/. e., directed

more

outward;

thejoints are also

somewhat

stouterand shorter than inPhengodes. ^All the other trophi ^are similar to those of Phengodes,^{but broader} and shorter; the maxillary palpi diverging

more

_just as do the antennae.

Thereare a few very strong ^bristles around _{the head,} one near thefront and one_just behindtheantennas beingparticularly noticeable.

The

sur- face of thebody^is

somewhat more

_{distinctly shagreened} than in Phen- godes.

The

medio-dorsal depression the whole _length of the body^is stronger, andin the pale specimens ^the

brown

on the superior^surface leavesa similar medio-dorsal spot eachside this linenear the base of each joint,just as inthe palerspecimens ^of Phengodes.
