EARLY STAGES OF DICHOGASTER (LASIOCAMPIDAE): A CORRECTION
In 1958 I published the life history of what was thought to be Eutachyptera psidii (Salle) (Lepidopterists News, 11: 99-102.). This was based on material taken in Pinery Canyon, Cochise County, Arizona,                      f
and the species was determined by comparison with material in the Los Angeles County Museum collection.                                                                                      ^
Recently careful study has proven that the reared series is not E. psidii, but is the related species, Dichogaster coronado (Barnes). The life history of the latter species has not to my knowledge been de­scribed elsewhere.
