a broad marginal shade, while the third line on the fore-wing 
is deeply but quite regularly situate, and near the costa 
acutely dentate.’ The caterpillars are general feeders but 
are also found upon the apple and blackberry. They vary 
considerably in color; some are very pale yellow with a broad 
reddish-brown dorsal stripe, edged with 
black; others are yellowish-green, while 
still others are gray or brown. They 
spin noregular cocoon, but protect their

pampinaria Guen. — at Jeast two annual generations which 
overlap in such a way that moths can be found all through 
the warmer part of the year. The adult insect is shown 
in Fig. 188. 
THE EUROPEAN CYMATOPHORA. 
(Cymatophora crepuscularia Tr.). 
This moth (Fig. 189) is slightly larger than pampinaria, 
but otherwise resembles it. Its color is whitish-ash, finely 
and uniformly dusted with brown. The fore-wings have 
also three curved dentate black lines, which extend over the 
lower wings. 
The caterpillar is smooth and of uniform thickness; it 1s 
pale yellow on the sides, shading to creamy-white above. 
A straight light-brown stripe occurs 
® on the back, and below it are several 
narrow, wavy dark-brown stripes 
close together; all stripes become ob- 
me eer solete on the last segment. The 
Bie Maree cata aes roundish head is a little wider than 
5 iguana ae the body and reddish-brown in color. 
The pupa, half an inch long, is formed in the earth. 
This species is not nearly as common as the preceding 
one; it occurs also in Europe.
