GRAPHOLITHIDS. 233 
mentary canal showing dark green through the dorsum. 
The piliferous tubercles are slightly paler than the rest of 
the body, and each one is surmounted by a brownish hair. 
The spiracles are green with a brown ring. Most of the 
caterpillars transform early in July to pupe of a dark shin- 
ing brown; the moths issue soon afterwards. They are ofa 
beautiful bright-sulphur and golden-yellow color, with a 
Y-shaped purplish red mark across each fore-wing, and more 
or less of the same color along the front border. They 
measure with expanded wings about half an inch across.

FAMILY GRAPHOLITHIDEZ OR GRAPHOLITHIDS. 
These moths are readily distinguished from the other 
Tortricids by the presence of a fringe of long hairs on the 
basal part of the cubitus of the hind-wings. Nearly two- 
thirds of all our species of Tortricids belong to it. 
THE GRAPE-BERRY MOTH. 
(Eudemis botrana Schiff.). 
This insect was imported many years ago into this 
country from southern Europe where it is very injurious. 
It is now very widely distributed in the United States, 
occurring probably wherever the grape is cultivated to any 
extent. It attacks all varieties of grapes, but is especially 
destructive to those with tender skinned berries or which 
grow in compact bunches. It feeds also upon a number of 
other plants and can become such a very injurious pest that 
it has been known to destroy as much as 50 to 75 per cent. 
of a crop. In the more southern states it produces three 
annual generations, but only two farther north. The first 
brood of it is but rarely noticed, and no protective steps are 
taken; later in the season it can multiply with great rapidity, 
when it is apt to become decidedly injurious to the grapes 
maturing late.
