This is the "ocularia-scribonia" of the previous edition. ESTIGMENE Hbn. E. acraea Dru. Common throughout the State, but especially so along the coast, May to September.

There are two broods, the first in June and little noticed, the second in September. Spraying the foliage around the nests with arsenites as soon as they are noticed will serve to clean them out.
