Head and face white. Palpi whitish; terminal joint with two black

 the costa, a spot in the middle, and a larger spot beyond the middle of 

 the costa black ; the inner margin is broadly fuscous from near the base 

 to beyond the middle ; in the middle of the fold is a long black spot of 

 raised scales, a short curved streak lies on the disc rather beyond, and a 

 transverse streak is on the disc opjjosite to the last costal spot, but not 

 reaching beyond the fold ; these are likewise composed of raised black 

 scales ; the apical portion of the wing is clouded with fuscous, with 

 some darker spots towards the hinder margin ; cilia whitish. Posterior

Common among maples in May and June. The larva feeds on 

 the leaves of the maple in September, turning clown a portion, 

 securing the leaf in its folded position by several strong cables of 

 silk, and then devouring the folded portion half through ; they 

 arc extremely suljject to the attacks of the Icltiieumonidce.
