paler, their coxse and the basal half of femora and tips of posterior ti-

Conn., Mass., Ohio. 



Larvse green, not viscid; six dorsal rows of tubercles having two 

 black bristles and four lateral ones on each side bearing white bristles. 



They appear in May and feed on the raspberry. In 1862 I received 

 from Mr. Arthur llobinson, of New Haven, specimens of these larvae, 

 with leaves, from which they had eaten irregular holes in the middle 

 and on the edges. Mr. J. Kirkpatrick, {Ohio Farmet-, June 16th, 

 I860,) mentions a larva which "eats longitudinal blotches out of the 

 leaves of the raspberry and seems to be partly gregarious," which is 

 probably this. The larvae feed at night or early in the morning, and 

 conceal themselves during the day, and are, therefore, very difficult to 

 find.
