with the longitudinal axis of the case. The posterior end terminates 
in three lobes, which neatly close the opening. The average length of 
the cigar-shaped cases is 6.5 mm. and the width 1.3mm. They are of 
a light brownish color, much like that of the dry leaves. As the case 
is made from the skin of the upper and lower sides of the leaves, the 
one side is hairy or velvetlike, while the opposite side is almost 
smooth. 
THE PUPA. 
The pupa (fig. 10, 2) has an average length of from 4 to 5 mm. 
It is light brown, long and slender, terminating posteriorly in a broad, 
somewhat depressed cremaster, with two short lateral spines on either 
side; the wing sheaths are narrow, with free, pointed extremities 
reaching almost to the end of the body; the hind borders of the ab- 
dominal segments are 
smooth; there is a 
chitinous semiring- 
like ridge on the an- 
terior portion of the 
third to seventh. ab- 
dominal segments. 
On emergence of the 
adult, the pupal skin 
remains within the 
case.

Fie. 10.—The cigar case-bearer (Coleophora fletcherella) : THE MOTH OR ADULT. 
a, Adult female; b, side view of pupa and upper view 
of cremaster of same; c, larva; d, egg; e, venation of The original de- 
fore and hind wings. Much enlarged. (Original.) By sie 
scription of the moth 
(fig. 10, a, e), as published by Fernald,‘ is herewith given: 
Expanse of wings from 10 to 12 mm. Head, palpi and basal joint of the an- 
tenn, yellowish steel gray. Body, legs and wings above and beneath, plain 
steel gray, much more intense in fresh specimens. The palpi are without tufts, 
the basal joint of the antenne with a slight tuft, and the remaining joints of 
the antennze and also the joints of the tarsi are steel gray annulated with white. 
The two sexes are similar in color, the male, however, being smaller 
and recognizable by the blunt termination of the abdomen. The 
abdomen of the female is larger, more or less spindle-shaped, and 
terminates in a slender ovipositor, which as a rule protrudes from 
the last segment. The wings are typically like those of the Tineide; 
narrow, pointed, with the veins in the hind-wings almost obliterated ; 
the hind border of both wings is fringed with long hairs, which are 
especially pronounced in the hind-wings. On emerging from the 
pupa the moth assumes a very characteristic pose, as illustrated in 
Plate II, figure 4.
