The name of this insect is Cryp- tophagous iettce; having been noticed but a few years ago. We will now speak of insects that belong to another great class of entomology called Lepidotera. The most important, and consequently the most to be dreaded, is the i^octua (belonging to the ninth family (I^octuidse) of Heterocera, which is the second division of the Lepidotera insects.)^ Those attacking the sugar beet are: 1st, [N^octua segetum; 2d, JS^octua oleracia; 3d, Noctua brassicse; 4th, Noctua promba.
