  G. 
  d., 
  in 
  the 
  Piedmont 
  Plain 
  and 
  northward, 
  locally 
  

   not 
  rare. 
  Adults 
  May 
  to 
  July, 
  larva 
  on 
  oak, 
  birch, 
  wild 
  cherry, 
  etc. 
  

  

  Family 
  MEGALOPYGID^. 
  

  

  Rather 
  large 
  moths 
  with 
  plump, 
  very 
  hairy 
  body, 
  the 
  abdomen 
  squarely 
  

   truncated, 
  antennte 
  lengthily 
  pectinated 
  in 
  the 
  male. 
  The 
  wings 
  are 
  

   short, 
  broad 
  and 
  obtuse, 
  also 
  clothed 
  with 
  long 
  hair, 
  forming 
  a 
  surface 
  

   which 
  Prof. 
  Comstock 
  compares 
  with 
  flannel; 
  and 
  because 
  of 
  the 
  wavy 
  

   lines 
  on 
  the 
  forewings, 
  he 
  calls 
  the 
  only 
  species 
  thus 
  far 
  found 
  in 
  our 
  

   State 
  the 
  "crinkled 
  flannel 
  moth." 
  The 
  larvae 
  seem 
  to 
  have 
  an 
  extra 
  

   pair 
  of 
  abdominal 
  legs, 
  and 
  the 
  cocoon 
  is 
  a 
  curious 
  case-like 
  structure 
  

   with 
  a 
  trap-door 
  at 
  one 
  end. 
  

  

  The 
  species 
  "opercularis" 
  S. 
  & 
  A., 
  listed 
  in 
  the 
  last 
  edition, 
  has 
  not 
  

   yet 
  been 
  found, 
  and 
  is 
  therefore 
  omitted.
