- has the third palpal joint ‘short. In Telphusa, the costal margin of the 
hind- wings is a little excised from about the middle to the tip, and the 
apical part of the subcostal vein is curved. In all these genera, as well 
as in Callima and Tricotaphe, the neuration of the fore wings is the: 
same. The two latter genera differ somewhat from each other and from 
the preceding genera, in the neuration of the hind wings.

during the present month, depositing her eggs on the bark of the trunks 
of the Peach trees : then as soon as the eggs hatch, the young grubs will 
begin to eat their way to the inner bark, where it is difficult to reach 
them. Much good may yet be done, either in preventing the moths 
from laying their eggs, or, if laid, in destroying the young larvæ, by 
; brushing the trunks and main 
branches of the trees with soft 
soap, reduced with lye to about 
the consistence of paint. Fig. 8 
respresents, both sexes of the 
moth; 1 is the female, 2ethe 
male. It will be observed that 
they are very unlike each other, so much so that they may readily be
