harm. — Of llic cliarafteristic lorin, beiiiii nttlicr thick in llic middle; 

 tlio body seen dorsally deereasing in thickness iVoni the tail to tlic liead. 

 Supra-anal plate large, trianiinlar, not acutely j)ointed, deep red, white on the

Length, 0.50 inch. 



Food-plant, juniper {Taxus baccaia Linn.). 



Pupa. — On June 4, the larva began to spin, the pupa being inclosed in 

 a slight white cocoon. In the body of the pupa are four segments beyond 

 the end of wings (in Cleora 2>ulchraria six), of the usual family-form; thorax 

 and under side of wings and limbs with a greenish tinge; rest of ImhIv pale 

 horn-brown, as usual. Head full, convex between the eyes. End of abdo- 

 men with a long rounded spine, with three pairs of long hairs, ciirved out- 

 wards at end. 



Length, 0.28 inch. 



I am indebted to Mr. S. E. Cassino for the discovery of this larva near 

 Salem, Mass., which he reared and drew. The moth had the wings imper- 

 fectly developed, but I think that it is, without much doubt, this species.

 below th(! curve is a series of black dots and streaks inside tjie band, suc-
