INSECTS INJURIOUS TO THE COMMON JUNIPER. 250 
broad, oval area, with a series of oval gatherings or folds, on each side 
of the transverse mesial main fold; those on the three rings succeeding 
the head (thoracic) are the same, but broader. There are no rudimen- 
tary thoracic legs. The end of the abdomen is blunt, well rounded, 
with the extreme tip forming a rounded portion. It is .35 of an inch in 
length. ' 
The pupa is white, and in the single specimen observed was quite far 
advanced, the body being covered with hairs. The wings were quite 
free from the body, and the antenne curved around outside the wing- 
covers, their tips meeting at the base of the heat. The first and second 
pairs of legs are folded at right angles to the body, the third pair being 
oblique to the body. The tips of the first pair of tarsi reach to the base 
of the second pair of tarsi; the tips of the second pair of tarsi do not 
reach to the base of the third pair of tarsi, the third tarsi not reaching 
to the tip of the abdomen by a distance equal to nearly their length. 
The prothorax is full and convex, the hinder portion being larger in 
proportion to the rest of the body than in the adult beetle. It is a quar- 
ter of an inch in length. The beetle is characterized by four raised lines 
on each wing-cover, with five or six black dots on each line or rib. An 
oblique black line diverges from each side of the seutellum. Just in 
front of the middle is a triangular, pale space, bounded behind by an 
oblique, dark line. In color,it resembles the bark of the ash; it is a 
quarter of an inch in length. 
5. THE JUNIPER SALMON-TINTED CATERPILLAR. 
Order LEPIDOPTERA; family NOCTUID. 
Feeding on the leaves of the low-bush juniper, in August, in Maine, 
a small noctuid caterpillar with five pairs of abdominal legs. Body 
thickest a little in fropt of the middle. Head small, rounded, pale 
honey-yellow, as wide as the prothoracic segment. Body flesh-colored, 
finely striped with alternating reddish flesh-colored and whitish fine 
wavy lines; two subdorsal reddish lines broader and less waved than 
the others, there being about eight reddish lines on each side of the 
body. The body of this caterpillar is shorter and thicker but shaped 
somewhat as in Leucania. When observed, August 27 to September 12, 
the caterpillar was about 6™™ long. 
6. THE JUNIPER WHITE-STRIPED INCH-WORM. 
Order LEPIDOPTERA; family PHALANID2. 
Feeding on the leaves of the low-bush juniper late in summer, in 
Maine, a rather short, cylindrical inch-worm, pale pea-green, the color 
of a juniper leaf. Head full, rounded, as wide as the body; segments 
a little wrinkled transversely. Lateral ridge sharp, white, the white 
line extending along the side of the obtusely triangular supra-anal plate. 
No other longitudinal stripes nor any other markings or tubercles.
