of an inch to an inch, the wings being variously lined and clouded 
with black. Specimens obtained August Ist, pupated on the 11th 
of that month, and emerged on the 22d. Half grown larv collected 
on the 6th of September, probably represented a second brood. 
Larva.—The full grown larva is thus characterized in Packard’s 
Monograph of the Phalenide of North America: ‘When fully 
grown, it measured one inch in length, and was of a pale yellowish- 
green color, with a broad reddish-brown stripe edged with black on 
the back, and on each side of the fifth ring was a small black spot. 
September 4th, after spinning a few threads over itself it became a 
pupa, and was transformed to a moth November 14th.” 
Half grown larve obtained at Centralia, September 6th, had the 
following characters: Pale yellowish-green upon the sides, deepen- 
ing to brown beneath, finely and irregularly lined with brown, 
these lines breaking up on the posterior segments into an irrecular 
marbling of brown and pale green. Beneath each spiracle on the 
footless “legs is a black blotch, largest on the anterior segments. 
The back is reddish-brown, lined with greenish-white. The two 
median lines enclose a narrow stripe of brown between them, in 
which are scattered points of white, forming an imperfect median 
line. The lines next outside these are likewise somewhat imperfect, 
but those at the border of the dorsal brown shade are nearly con- 
tinuous. Counting the interrupted median line, there are conse- 
quently seven in all upon the back. All these are jagged in outline 
and slightly zigzag in course. 
The upper surface of the head 1s divided into two lobes by a deep 
longitudinal groove. It is drab-brown, with a herring-bone mark of 
white on either side of the above groove. Outside of this is a 
jagged longitudinal white line, continuous with the sub-dorsal lines 
of the body; and still outside these another longitudinal white line, 
the space between the two latter being marked by a few irregular, 
oblique white dashes. The side of the head is also brown, lined with 
white. 
The two medial dorsal lines unite in one on the cervical shield, 
which thus becomes five-lined. The legs are brown, mottled with 
ereenish-white, the outside of each bearing a large, oval, whitish 
space, surrounding a small black oval spot. The entire surface of 
the larva is sparingly set with black piliferous tubercles, which are 
arranged in transverse rows, two to each segment. The spiracles 
are pale, ringed with black. 
Pupa.—The pupa is said by Dr. Packard to be half an inch long, 
and light brown in color. 
Imago.—The followmg description of the moth is quoted from 
Packara’s Monograph already cited: “Antenne moderately pectin- 
ated.  Palpi pale gray, blackish on the sides, white at the tip and 
on the under side of the basal joint. Head dark in front, pale on 
the vertex; afew dark scales between the insertions of the antenne. 
Body and wings pale ash; both wings somewhat produced toward 
the apex. Fore wings speckled with brown scales, a large blister at 
base; three prominent lines, the inner broadly curved, the curve 
continuing across the median:space, the line heavy and black, sub- 
acutely angulated outward below the costa, broadening on the costa
