basal tubercle; the second is slightly longer, much narrower, the base 

 brownish; the third is still narrower, brownish, and longer than the 

 second; what I have called the fourth joint seems to be two minute 

 yellowish processes. 



The first thoracic segment has a darker, transverse, dorsal line with 

 the ends near the front margin on each side and extending arcuately 

 backward and terminating in two flat, irregular elevations on each side 

 of the middle near the posterior margin of the segment. On the ven- 

 tral side of the segment, between the legs, there is an area covered 

 with stronger granulations and coarser hairs. In front of the legs there 

 is a fleshy fold that has the appearance of a separate segment as the 

 limiting ruga extends completely across the under side. 



The legs are short conical processes, with vague joints, projecting 

 from large udder-like tubercles. 



The sutures between the thoracic segments are deep, and the second 

 and third segments are obliquely wrinkled at the sides and again on the 

 disk ; the two latter rugae form an anterior dorsal lobe. The anterior 

 stigmata are plainly visible between the first and second segments. 



All the abdominal segments are sparsely covered with hairs, which 

 are more evident on the under side, projecting from distinct granula- 

 tions of a darker color. These granulations become darker brown and 

 more pronounced on a small median area of the ventral portion of the 

 eighth and ninth abdominal segments. Dorsally and laterally the ninth 

 (anal) segment is covered with strong, dark brown asperities, each 

 bearing the usual hair, and increasing in length toward the apex which 

 is tipped with a horny projection that suggests the cremaster of certain 

 lepidopterous pupae. This appears to be built out by extreme elonga- 

 tions of these asperities and is triangulately emarginate at the apex. 

 This dark brown projection is more than half a millimeter in length. 



Pupa. The pupa is straight and measures from 12 to 14 millimeters 

 in the series before me. The head is sparsely set with projecting 

 granulations or asperities. On the prothorax they are less numerous 

 except at the posterior angles. The wings are set with rows of these 

 elongated granulations placed on distinct and parallel costae. The ab- 

 dominal segments have irregular patches of these granulations, two 

 dorsal, two smaller sub-dorsal, two larger lateral, and below the last 

 an irregular row which is broadly interrupted at the ventral center of 

 the segments. The anal style is also sparsely set with asperities. The 

 tip of the abdomen has two divergent fleshy tubercles. 



Occurrence and liabits. The following records of capture 

 are at hand: Several Indent at a were taken on a dead elm at 

 Medford, Mass., June 30 and July 15, 1903. Nine bidcntata 

 were taken on a dead beech at Monmouth, Maine, June 29, 

 1912. On this tree I saw a pair in copula. Six lineella were
