  • DESCRIPTION OF PACHNOBIA ORILLIANA

  • Aug. R. Grote
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    31 May 2012, pp. 154-155

  • Both sexes of a species of Pachnobia have been collected by Mr. Geo Norman, at Orilla, which I propose to call by the name of orilliana. It is evidently allied to Agrotis hyperborea, which I know only from Milliére's and Herrich-Schaeffer's illustrations. It looks at first sight like a species of Graphiphora (Taeniocampa).

    All the tibiae are spinose. The head is sunken, eyes naked, abdomen short. The wings are wide, the male antennae shortly pectinate, serose. The color is not unlike that of Graph. incerta, but more olivaceous.

  • THE LUNA MOTH (Actias luna)

  • R. V. Rogers
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    31 May 2012, pp. 199-200

  • As supplementary to my remarks on this pretty creature in the August number of the Can. Ent., I would say thaton June 6th a friend gave me a captured female Luna. For two or three nights I used her as a trap to entangle unwary males, but in vain as far as my cabinet was concerned; the weather was cold. On the 7th,8th and 9th, during the silent watches of the night, she deposited in her place of confinement, in all, about 100 eggs of a dark brown or chocolate color, flattened at the sides, smooth and about .005 of an inch in length: the sides were of a lighter shade.

  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    31 May 2012, pp. 216-217

  • On Dominion Day, while at Chateaueuay Basin, I collected a number of larvæ which were found feeding on nettle. I secured them in my larva box, and took a quantity of the food-plant with me. When I reached home in the evening I was too busy to examine them carefully, and the next day I found that quite a lot of them had changed to chrysalids.
