REPOET OF THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 329 



library of the Boston Society of Natural History, \7e prepared the fol- 

 lowing description. The pupa is described from our own specimen. 



Desckiptive. — Larva. — Body cylindrical, smootli; head of tLie same widtli as the 

 body, wlii.ch is yollowish-greenabove, pale purplisli telow . Two fine, blackish, lateral 

 lines, ^vitli a pale Hue above. 



Fiqja. — Rather slender, whitish gray, slashed and spotted with brown on the si(L', 

 but much less so than in TJi. seminudaria; head, thorax and wings nearly unspotted; 

 terminal spine and bristles as in Th. seminudaria. Length, IS""™. 



THE PINE THERENA. 



{Thcrina seminudaria Walker.) 



We have reared this moth from a caterpillar found feeding on the 

 white pine at Providence, E. I., but failed to prepare a description of 

 the larva. It passed the winter in the chrysalis state, the moth emerg- 

 ing in May. 



Descriptive. — Fu^a. — Moderately slender, thorax spotted with brown, wings 

 slashed and spotted with brown; abdomen with a dorsal and two lateral rows of ir- 

 regular spots, and the segments .also surrounded by a circle of spots. Terminal spine 

 moderately large, not corrugated below, above coarsely pitted with more or less con- 

 fluent punctures, the end bearing two long, straight, stout bristles, a pair of small 

 bristles on the upper side near the end of the spine; a small pair beneath, and a 

 larger pair, one on each side. Length, IS™™. 



THE PINE AMORBLA.. 



{Amorhia humerosana Clemens.) 



This leaf rolling moth was bred from the white pine in Maine, the 

 moth appearing in May. It is a large species of Tortricidce, the fore 

 wings with the costal edge full. The head, thorax, and fore wings are 

 whitish ash, with dark specks, but with no distinct lines and markings. 

 There are two whitish patches in the middle of the fore wings, on each 

 side of which are a few fine black specks : in the middle of the outer 

 fourth of the wing is a whitish patch. There is a marginal row of fine 

 black points. The fringe is pale; the hind wings are pale-gray slate 

 color. Exi)anse of wing, 24"^*". The larva was not described. It has 

 been bred from the benzoin bush and the poison ivy by Mr. L. W. 

 GoodeU. The species ranges from Canada and Maine to Pennsylvania. 



THE V-MARKED CACOilCLA.. 



( Caccecia argyrospila Walker.) 



The moth of this species is not uncommon, entering our houses at 

 iiight during July in !Maine and Massachusetts. My specimens have 

 been kindly determined by Prof. C. H. Fernald. 



This widespread species was first described in this country by Mr. 0. 

 T. Robinson, in 18G9, under the name of Tortrix furvana ; at nearly 

 tlie same time or soon after I described it in tha Massachusetts Agricult- 

 ural Eeport for 1870 uudor the name of the Y-marked Tortrix (T. v-sig- 

 natana), and remarked that Mr. F. W. Putnam had raised it in abun- 

 dance from the cherr}'. In his account of this species Lord Walsingham* 

 remarks that in California it occurred near San Prancisco, May 19, 

 1871. "The species also occurred about Mendocino in the middle of 

 June, and as far north as Mount Shasta in August. One specimen
