Abstract
The life histories of many of the Geometridae are not well known; those of a few economic species in the Ennominae have been worked out but many more remain to be studied. Life-history notes on the following seven species are presented: Semiothisa granitata Gn., S. sexmaculata Pack., Eufidonia discospilata Wlk., Melanolophia canadaria Gn., Campaea perlata Gn., Selenia alciphearia Wlk., and Caripeta divisata Wlk. The larvae of all these have been described; those of Selenia and Campaea were described by Dyar (1899 and 1903) and the remainder by McGuffin (1943a, 1943b, 1944, 1945, and 1947).Keywords
