The average date of pupation of the hil)ernated lar\ ;e was, there- fore, at)out April i^5, and thus the moths would emerge about the middle of Ma}'. Very evidently the moth emerging July 8 is of a second brood. The worms were observed feed- ing upon onions, cabl)age, potatoes, and cotton. A moth was taken at College Station, May 11, 1903. Several were parasitized by the tachinid fly {(r:>/)/''f cap'dntn DeCI.), the tirst specimens of which emerged Ma}' T. Previous recordx.—This species tirst received careful consideration in this country by Riley," who summarizes the knowledge of the species at the time of his wi'iting, and describi^s the larva' and eggs. He states that there is either a dual method of hibernation or it is double brooded. He records pu])ie received from a cotton field at Americus, (ra., A[)i'il 22, from whicii moths emerged April 2-1, 1879, and a pupa from Virginia Point, Tex., received December 8, from. 1.— iip^iliiii: (I, l
