tip of the segment has eight short and stiff bristles, and the 
whole body is covered with minute brown granulations. 
Early in September these caterpillars change to brownish 
pupz with the usual short spines on the edges of the dorsal 
side of the abdominal segments. Soon afterwards the 
moths appear, of which the sexes differ considerably. The 
males are of a dark-brown color over the 
larger part of the fore-wings, with minute 
tufts of scales over the surface; the outer 
portion and base of the wings are reddish-

pes ee Tent: The females are dull rust-red, the fore- 
wings with three oblique bands across 
them, nearly obliterated in places. The expanse of wings 
in the male is five-eighths of an inch, that of the female three-

THE SULPHUR-COLORED TOR’ RIX. 
(Dichelia sulfureana Clem.). 
The caterpillars of this insect are rather general feeders; 
they are also found upon the leaves of the grape and the 
strawberry, which they draw together. Their home is most 
frequently arranged in such a manner that it forms a tube, 
open at either end; they feed upon the surrounding foliage, 
of which they devour only the under surface as long as they 
are still small, but later they eat irregular holes.. Like most 
of such larve they are very active and 
escape from their tubes by suspending 
themselves by a silken thread, by which 
. theycan let themselves down tothe ground
