 Among the speciinoiis of this group, in the Museum of 
 tlic Poiihody Aeiiileniy of Science, tire several .species which 
 occur frequently in New England, tuul are so well marked 
 that I have ventiu'cd to descrihe them, without waiting for 
 more material from other localities. 
 
 I am uniil)le, so far in my studies on this group, to find 
 liny valid characters sepaniting the "Pliycidie" from the 
 family Pyralidte, whether we regard the larval or imaginal 
 characters. They seem to me to be intimately related on 
 one hand to the lower Pyralids, such as 15otys and Scopula, 
 and on the other to the Crambi. Certainly the "Phycidtc" 
 should not raidi as ti family, but ttdic their place as a sub- 
 ordinate group.

 This species is at once recoirnized by tin' broad briiilit-red 'cansxcise 
 .stripe inst within the middle of ilie wini;. This stripe varies nmcli. beinu; 
 somelinu'S not presem. iit others not reachinji the costal edire. In one 
 additional siiecimen from Maine, llie fore wing has scattered reddisJi 
 scales at base and licyoiul the middle, while tlie dark transverse stripe is 
 wantinj;, and the red portion forms ;i l)road trmisverse lu'iulit-red l)and. 
 The larva lives in Jnno and early in .Tiily between the leaves of the alder, 
 where it makes a horn shaped case of black cylindrical pellets of excre- 
 ment, arran^a'd regnlarly in circles, the additions behif; nuide aronnd the 
 month of the ease. The ease is about an inch and a half lonn:; its month 
 a (luartcr of an inch in diameter. Witliin it is densely lined with white 
 silk. The pupa is of the usual color, maho,u;any brown, the end of the 
 abdomen rounded, with six liairs project iiiu from a transverse siipraanal 
 projecting ridge. On each abdominal segment is a dorsal dnsky trans- 
 ^orse stripe, widest on the basal segment. The larva was not descril)ed 
 in my notes. The pupa state lasts about two weeks, tlie moth which 1 
 reared ai)pearing July 24lli, the larva having been found July Otli. 
 
 Tlie Mnsenin of the Peabody Academy of Science also contains ten 
 spoeiinens of this moth reared by Mr. J. II. Emerton. The larvie were 
 found fe.-'ding on tlie Sweet Fern {('mnptoma aitph'nifdJi't Ait.), July 7, 
 180G, at Hamilton, Mass.. the moth appearing July L'Olli. The case is 
 quite dill'erent in form from tlial previously described, being legulariy 
 oval cylindrical; -S") inch long and -33 inch in diameter. It is con- 
 structed in the same manner as those found on the alder. This striking 
 difl'erence in the form of the case may possibly be due to the ditl'erence in 
 tlie form of the leaves of the food jdant, the large broad leaves of the 
 alder inducing the larva to build a horn-like, much elongated case ; while 
 the narrow smaller leaves of the Sweet Fern may have leil to the forma- 
 tion of a short, oval case. These ditt'erences are such as we would ordin

 (See Kntom. Zeitung Stettin IsTl, p. 177) which preys on the gooseberry. 
 The [ireseiit species ditlers much from .)/. [iroKsiiloria: in having a longer 
 body and wings, and much larger palpi ; and in the style of markings. It 
 may be at once known by the single long broad white line along the costal 
 edge of the fore wings. 
 
 I'empdia ovalU, n. sp. 1 g. I'alpi large and broad ; aiitennnB tufted at

 brown scales. Fore wings with a short curved dark line at base on the 
 median vein. On inner third of wing a very broad brown band, directed 
 obli(iiiely outward from the costa to the inner edge, and enclosing a large 
 distinct, regularly oval Clongiludinal), ochreous spot between the median 
 and sulmiedian veins. Two obscure black discal points situated as usual ; 
 the outer one is enclosed in a dusky shade crossing the wing obrKpiely and 
 limited beyond by the usual submaiginal white zigzag line; this line is 
 curved inward below the costa; from the middle of the wing to the inner 
 margin it is exactly parallel to the outer edge, terminating in an angle di- 
 rected outwards. Between this line and the edge is a series of dusky 
 bars, the interspaces cinereous. A marginal black line. Fringe cinereous. 
 Hind winus pale smoky. Beneath fore wings dusky. A whitish costal 
 spot near the apex, but no line. Hind wings slightly paler. Abilomen 
 coiicolorous with the hind wings. Legs dull asli ringed with whitish.

 larger and less ascending tlian usual; antenna' without the tuft of scales 
 with short l)roatl joints, well ciliated beneath. Front with longer scales, 
 than usual. Head iiud palpi reddish. Costa of fore wings conspicuously

 Two hind pairs of legs redilisli externally. 
 
 Length of fore wing -37 of an Inch. Dorchester, Mass. (F. (i. San-

 In one specimen the roseate color on the wings lias apparently faded 
 out into a pale drab, but the head is red. Though the amennn3 are with- 
 out the usual tuft of scales, and the jialpl are longer than usual, I should 
 judge that it was a Ncphopteryx.
