The pupa (fig. 71) differs in the cremaster being consolidated, not forked, and the seta arewell developed. Length, IS mm. In a Providence pupa of albicosta, however, the cremaster ispartly consolidated, only forked at the end, and the six seta- are well developed. Mr. Dyar writes: I have taken the form ,Symmeristaalbicosta in New York and Florida, thetypical albifrons also in New York, but much more rare (Poughkeepsie). But Professor Lintner,at Albany, takes only albifrons.^. MEMOIRS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. 183 Symmerista packardii i Monisou).I PL IV, fig. 12.) pacl-ardn Morr., Aim. Lye. Nat. Mist., N.
