17; the moth appeared April 30, after my return to Providence. 
DESCRIPTIVE.—Larva.—Pale green ; head green ; otherwise of the usual appearance. 
Pupa.—Body pale and slender, the cast skin thin and unusually so for a Tortrix.

the tip as at the base ; the surface above and beneath with fine longitudinal ridges ; 
a pair of short dorsal sete near the end; edge of the extreme tip curvilinear, with four 
curved setze of nearly equal length. Each abdominal segment with two rows of fine 
teeth. Length, 10™™, 
Moth.—Pale tawny yellow, with yellowish brown darker scales and dots and darker 
brown lines. Head pale, tawny brown on the vertex with a small spot in the middle 
of the front. Palpi dark, externally pale above and at tip of second joint. Fore 
wings pale whitish tawny yellow, densely speckled with darker scales; on the inner 
third of the wing an oblique, dark brown, narrow line beginning on the inner third 
of the costa and ending in the middle of the hind margin. An outer parallel line, 
which is forked on the costa and ends on the internal angle; from near the middle 
the line sends off a spur to the apex, but before reaching the apex a spur is sent to 
the costa, also a 3-forked line to the outer edge of the wing. Hind wings, abdomen, 
and legs almost white. Expanse of wings, 20™™. (Identified by Prof. Fernald.)
