Remxirhs. — I have already given ^^ a summary of the habits and have 

 briefly described the larva of this species but it seems appropriate to 

 give a brief description of the pupa at this time. 



Pupa. — First day : Wing, antennal and leg sheaths, also dorsal part 

 of head and thorax light lemon yellow. Abdominal segments light 

 whitish ochreous except the last caudal segment which is strongly 

 tinged with reddish brown. The last five segments are free and 

 movable. 



Second day: Ptipa light reddish brown; last segment somewhat 

 darker. From the second day on the color becomes progressively 

 darker. The wing sheaths become very dark brown first. The ab- 

 dominal segments gradually become darker until at the time of emer- 

 gence the entire pupa is nearly black. 



Busck's remark ^^ concerning the close relationship of julAella to the 

 European nervosa is borne out by a study of both the male and female 

 genitalia. The differences in genitalia (although admittedly slight) 

 and the difference in food plant will serve to distinguish the two. The 

 coloration of juliella^ as indicated by a reared and a collected series of 

 over 150 specimens, is usually brighter and lighter than that of nervosa.

Plate 38, Figukes 204, 204a ; Plate 47, Figure 279 



Similar to D. juUella Busck but smaller. 



Antenna reddish ochreous above, lighter beneath and toward tip; 

 narrowly annulated with reddish fuscous. Second segment of labial 

 palpus whitish ochreous strongly suffused with red and reddish fus- 

 cous exteriorly; third segment whitish ochreous with broad reddish- 

 fuscous basal and subapical fasciae. Head light reddish ochreous; 

 face light yellowish ochreous. Thorax, tegula, and fore wing ochreous 

 strongly overlaid with red, reddish fuscous, and white scales; at base 

 of wing a black spot on costa and a similar one on dorsum ; narrowly 

 but strongly tinged with bright red; in middle of cell an indistinct 

 longitudinal streak of reddish fuscous and white scales mixed; cilia 

 light reddish fuscous. Hind wing light fuscous, lighter basally with 

 a distinct reddish hue ; cilia light reddish fuscous with a fuscous sub-
