The larva feeds on the white pine. We have found it the 

 first of November full fed. It is pale green in color, almost the 

 same shade as the needles, on which it feeds. There is a nar- 

 row white dorsal line and one of black edge<l with white on 

 the sides. It makes a cell beneath the leaves on the t<)p of 

 the ground and remains in the larva state until the next June, 

 when it changes to pupa without having fed since the No- 

 vember before. The moth comes out the last of July. Guenee's 

 description of the larva and food plant do not agree with this 

 at all, and it is just as likely U) have l)een the larva of what 

 Moriison and Grote describe as difueida and janxialix, as of 

 fUmata.
