Extract

Observations on the life histories of Polites verna Edw., Hesperia leonardus Harr., and Ancyloxypha numitor Fabr. are reported here. Previous work on the rare P. verna included a vague description by Scudder of a drawing of the egg and a full account of the last larval instar. Concerning H. leonardus only the egg and first instar were known. A drawing of the second instar was also described (Scudder, 1889). In a previous communication (Dethier, 1938) it was pointed out that the third brood of A. nomitor probably passed the winter in the larval stage. This is confirmed and further details presented.
