THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. et 
Body, above, yellowish-green, streaked and spotted with white, inter- 
mixed all through with green, thus dividing the white into a series of 
streaks, dots and broken lines; there is also a line of greenish-white on 
each side, close to the undersurface. Each segment has a few tubercles of a 
green color, striped with white ; these are small on the second, third and 
fourth segments, but much larger from fifth to twelfth, inclusive, and 
entirely wanting on the terminal segment. On each of the hinder segments, 
with the exception of the last three, are ten or twelve of these tubercles, 
which almost cover the whole surface, and from each of the tubercles 
throughout there arises a single whitish hair. 
The under surface is of a deeper green than the upper, with a few 
short whitish hairs, chiefly on 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 11th and 12th segments. 
Feet green, prolegs, of which there are three pairs, green also. 
This larva became a chrysalis on the 18th of June, and produced the 
moth on the 13th of July. 
In the caterpillar state, the insect feeds on the hop, consuming the 
leaves, but we have never 
known it to occur in 
sufficient numbers to do 
much damage. The moth, 
(see fig. 6,) measures, 
when expanded, about 
134 inches. 1A large 
portion of the upper surface 
of the fore-wings is covered 
with brilliant, metallic 
green scales, which are 
darker on the lower portion of the middle and on the tips of the wings, 
and much paler towards the inner angle. The wings are covered by two 
oblique, irregular brown lines, and parts of the upper and outer portions 
are tinged with purplish. The hind wings are of a brownish dusky grey, 
without markings. The anterior portion of the body is pale brown, marked 
with buff and curiously crested above, the hinder portions of the body are 
paler. The under surface of both front and hind wings is dull, varying in 
shade from pale buff to brown, one of the brown lines on the upper surface 
of fore-wings being reproduced and extended across the hind wings.

This moth has been found in various parts of Canada, but in no instance 
have we heard of its being met with in any considerable numbers.
