874 FIFTH REPORT OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL COMMISSION. 



and there is a tubercle beneath. Hence the caterpillar represents a large rough 

 twig, with leaf-scar-like tubercles. Anal plate sharp, triangular, tuberculated. 

 Anal legs large. Length 38"'">. 



Pupa is rather thick; the body in front, including the wings, horn-brown, 

 speckled with blackish ; abdomen reddish brown. Spiracles distinct black. Termi- 

 nal spine large, ending in two long straight acute spinules. Length l?'""!. 



Moth. — Body and wings uniformly cream-white ; wings unspotted, with a single 

 dull, ocherous, oblique, straight line extending from just beyond the middle of 

 the inner edge to the costa, ending just before the apex; hind wings with no line, 

 immaculate. No discal dots on either wings. Beneath immaculate, the band not 

 re-appearing on the fore wing. Expanse of wings L75 inches. 



It differs from T. crocallata by the cream-white wings, the dull ocherous line on 

 the fore wing, while the apex of the fore wing is not so pointed as in T. crocallata or 

 aspilatea, and there is no line reproduced beneath, and no traces of a discal dot 

 beneath. The hind wings are much more obtuse than in T. crocallata. 



11. Caripeta divisata Walker. 



Order Lepidoptera ; family Phal^nid^. 



One larva of this species was found September 15, 1884, feeding ou 

 hemlock. It changed to a pupa October 11, and gave out the moth 

 July 2, 1885, having been sent as a larva to the office of the United 

 States entomologist at Washington, where it was reared. 



Larva. — Head pale grayish-brown, with darker, transverse, fine, wavy lines. 

 Dorsum grayish yellow with a medio-dorsal pale dusky arrow-like mark, its point di- 

 rected forward, on each segment. Piliferous warts black. Lateral line yellow, 

 around the stigmata orange. 



Pupa. — Body very thick and stout, pale brown, somewhat frosted over on the head 

 and thorax, the body becoming mahogany brown towards the tip of the abdomen. 

 Surface coriaceous, rough, with elongated pits. Cremaster flattened, very rough 

 at base, ending in two large down-curved hooks and two pairs of very small curved 

 lateral bristles. Length, 14">'". 



Moth. — This fine moth may be recognized by the nearly white ground-color of 

 the wings, with the broad, mesial, blackish, mottled band, darker on the edges, bor- 

 dered on each side with a broad white band, and inclosing a large oblong, oval, white 

 discal spot. It differs so much from C. angustloraria that it would scarcely be re- 

 ferred to the same genus. Expanse of wings 1.55 inches.

(Larva, Plate x ; Fig. 4.) 



Feeding on the leaves late in August in Maine, a slender-bodied 

 measuring inch-worm of the general color of the terminal twigs, and 

 not quite so wide as a hemlock leaf. Head not so wide as the body, 

 with a moderately deeply impressed median line; pale flesh-colored, 

 mottled, with pale reddish brown spots, and with long brown hairs. 

 Body mostly greenish yellow, the tints pale and delicate. A dorsal 

 row of diffuse elongated spots, extending backward from the transverse 

 blackish stripes on the sutures between the segments. On each of the 

 three thoracic segments is a transverse row of black warts and hairs, sit-
