Abstract
I have found the discussion of the identity of Spilosoma congrua, originating with the article by Rev. Dr. Fyles, most interesting, and am tempted to record certain facts not in consonance with the published views of the gentlemen who have already written.Dr. Fyles appears to argue that cunea may be congrua. He tells us, speaking of textor, that there is one brood in his locality usually spotless and measuring 14 lines, and then states that “southward there is a second brood of textor noted for its variations, this being supposed to be the cunea of Drury.” He then refers to Prof. Riley's figures of cunea (Forest Insects, page 245), and declares that with his series of bred specimens of congrua he can match all of Prof. Riley's figures in maculation, and especially in size.
