Mills College, Alameda Co., Cal., and Camp Baldy, San Bernarclino Co., Cal., bred from larvcc on "Cas- cara" {Rhamnns purshiana DC), an ev^ergreen, and also on a similar deciduous species of Rhamnns. The larva feeds within a large inflated gall-like chamber formed from the two halves of the leaf, which are closely appressed above, just below the margins of the leaf, and near each end. The leaf bulges between the lateral veins forming a series of pouches Fig. 22.— of projecting from the large elon- cysuocceus .unHosus ' gate ' chamber. (Fig. 22). The larxa is pale gra^-ish brown, with head and prothoracic shield shining pale brown. A small silken cocoon is spun, often just outside the larval habitation, where the sides of the leaf diverge, or between leaves on the bottom of the breeding jar. Antispila aurirubra, n. sp. Head and palpi bronzy; antennae dark brown. Thorax and fore wings very lustrous, colour varying, according to the direction _of light from greenish golden to a brilliant reddish bronze. The latter colour predominates near the base and along the termen and around the apex of the wung. At one-third a narrow pale golden fascia, somewhat nearer base on the dorsum; at two-thirds a triangular costal spot, and a little nearer the base on the dorsu
