A LITTLE-KNOWN CUTWORM. 51 species labeled P. catenula Grote, from Los Angeles, Cal., Glenwood Springs, Colo., Phoenix, Ariz., and Kaslo, British Columbia. We have reared Porosagrotis vetusta, which displays only slight variation as compared with many other forms of cutworm moths, from Shelton, Churchland, and Norfolk, Va., Rocky Ford, Colo., and Southern Pines, N. C. Another locality is Poplar Branch, N. C. In 1895 Slingerland * mentioned this species in connection with other climbing cutworms under the name of the " spotted-legged' cut- worm," stating that it occurred in Erie, Lewis, and Monroe Counties, X. Y. Less than 2 per cent, however, of the climbing cutworms received from western New York in 1893 and in 1894 belonged to this species. Beyond the fact that it was found on peach buds, noth- ing was then known of its habits. The larva? and moth were figured. NATURAL ENEMIES. This species no doubt has many natural enemies. The following, however, are the only ones at present known, both being parasitic: Apanteles n. sp., near agrotidis* issued from larvae of this cut- worm received from North Carolina, May 18, 1901. Determined by Ashmead. Linnce?nya picta Meig., a tachina fly, issued from the second lot, from North Carolina. It was identified by the late D. W. Coquillett. The same species of tachina fly was reared from this cutworm from material received from Norfolk, Va., the flies issuing October 8, 1910. 1 Bui. 104, Cornell University Experiment Station, pp. 570-571. rpHIS PUBLICATION may be pro- -*- cured from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office Washington, D.
