Comstock Philtraea elegantaria Hy. Edw. The types of this moth were taken at Tucson, Arizona. The species is not common, particularly in California. It is, however, rather widely distributed, ranging as far east as Tennessee. On June 17, 1933 while beating Ceanoilnis luishes in Bouquet Canyon for larva, a single chrysalis was secured, which, on June 23, gave forth an imago. This proved to be a female, and for- tunately produced a few eggs while on the setting block. These were, of course, infertile, and it was therefore impossible to record the larva. Egg. Size. .75 mm. tall x .5 mm. thick. Color, opaque light green. In form it is sub-ovoid, with a rounded base and strongly cupped top. The surface is smooth, except for the micropylar end. which is finelv granular. See Plate PLATE 16 Egg of Philtraea elegantaria. enlarged x 36 by J. A. Comstock Bulletin S'o. Calif.
