From the dates given above, it appears that this moth is double-brooded. 

 One of our most common green moths, and easily recognized by the ochreous 

 front and palpi, pale whitish-green wings, and the two broad, parallel, whitish 

 lines; it readily lades out, so that the lines are almost effaced. Some appear 

 as il minutely mottled with whitish flecks. Texan specimens do not seem 

 to vary from New England ones. The distance between the two lines varies 

 considerably. This common and widely-spread species is easily recognized 

 by the pale-green body and wings", the ochreous front and palpi, anil by the 

 broad, common, whitish band, also its small size and rounded hind wings. It 

 seems to lie double-brooded, as it appears in Massachusetts in June and again 

 in September. It varies but little, sometimes differing in the depth of the 

 green shade, often occurring in collections almost white. Il is closely allied 

 to E herbaria of Southern Europe. 



Larva. — Mr. L. W. Goodell has raised this moth, and writes me that the 

 caterpillar was found on the red raspberry. "It is green, marked obscurely 

 with paler green, and when fully grown measured an inch in length. July 

 24th it fastened itself to the bottom of the box in which it was confined and
