B. Lateral aspect. fied by dr}-ing. ^Moreover, the dots occur only on a portion of the intersegmental membrane between the last two abdominal seg- ments. The final instar larva described above was collected from tall lush grass bordering a small brook which ran through an open field. It was procured ]May 21 by sweeping during the day. It fed by night on various types of grasses and rested by day in a case constructed from two blades of grass held together by silk threads. Pupation occurred May 31. A female emerged Jime 9. According to Scudder the first brood of this speciese ap- pears on the wing about the 10th or 12th of June in the vi- cinit}' of Boston. As this specimen emerged June 9. it is logical to suppose that it represented the first brood. Scudder also states that the eggs of the third and last brood hatch before the advent of winter. This being the case there can be no doubt that this species passes the winter in the larval state and not as a chr\-salis as Scudder was inclined to believe. Hitherto the length of time passed in the pupal stage was unknown. Now it ap- pears that the third brood spends nine days as chr\-salids. Immediately upon emergence the egg-filled female of brood one is ready to be fertilized. This particular specimen oviposited 76.
