SOME INSECTS INJURIOUS TO TRUCK CROPS. 



leaden gray, and of old mounted material a duller gray, "thickly dif- 

 fused with black and liroAyn dots and other markings more or less con- 

 stant, forming irregular lines across both fore-wings and hind-wings. 

 On both there is a marginal regular scalloped black line and within 

 this a strongly dentate or zigzag white line. The general pattern of 

 the Avings yaries considerably from that shown in figure 6, «, which 

 represents the female. The color of the body is similar to that of the 

 wings. The first abdominal segment is white aboye. 



The sexes can be readih^ distinguished by the antennae. Those of 

 the female are filiform and tessellated and those of the male rather 

 strongly pectinate, or feathered. The structure of the latter is shown 

 at e and /, figure 6. 



'' It may be knoAvn," says Packard, " by the yery distinct line at the 



base of the abdo-

 and near the 

 costa acutely 

 dentate.''

 of these were giyen by Guenee, it is of itself indicatiye of the varia-

The egg appears not to have been described. 



The larva. — The larva resembles those of other geometrids in being 

 of elongate form, about nine times as long as wide, witli the three 

 pairs of thoracic or front legs bunched closely together near the head, 

 and in having only two pairs of prolegs, or unjointed legs, at the
