pair of minute setae on the caudo-lateral margin. Vasiform orifice 

 small, elevated, subelliptical, wider than long; operculum nearly 

 filling orifice, cephalic margin straight, lateral and caudal margins 

 parallel with those of orifice. Lingula short, not reaching margin 

 of operculum. 



Adult female : Length about .8 mm. ; fore wing .83 x .30 mm. 

 Color bright yellow, wings reddish at margins, fore wings spotted 

 with bright red and brownish-black ; two irregular red spots near 

 proximal third, one each side of vein, and three or four brown 

 spots at distal fourth, one each side of vein, one proximad and one 

 distad of the last two. Antennae of seven segments, the third 

 slightly longer than the distal four together. 

 Male marked like female though smaller. 



Dr. E. P. Felt records this species from Mt. Kisco, N. Y., on

Pupa case as above. Fore wings clouded with red and brownish 

 black. Head, thorax and abdomen white, marked with black as 

 follows : "a transverse band across front of head, between bases 

 of antennae ; a more or less distinct dark spot on each side just 

 above the eye ; a roundish black spot on each side of prothorax 

 just below the dorsum ; a more or less elliptical black spot covering 

 a nearly equal area on each side of mesothorax, in front of and 

 below the insertion of fore wings — these last two pairs of spots 

 together occupying a space on each side of the body about equal 

 in size to one of the dumb-bell-shaped compound eyes ; an elon- 

 gated spot on dorsum of mesothorax on each side in front of 

 insertion of fore wing — these spots are oblique converging pos- 

 teriorly; a smaller spot on each side of dorsum of metathorax 

 posteriorly ; a transverse spot on dorsum of abdomen just anterior 

 to vasiform orifice ; and a border along the posterior margin of 

 the operculum." Morrill. 



Fairly common on ash, birch, mulberry, Cornus florida and 

 C. sanguined in Massachusetts. 



Larvae and pupae cases of mori or its variety have been taken in 

 Connecticut on catalpa, linden, ash, hackberry, hornbeam, hazel and 

 box elder, but the adults were not obtained. The records are as 

 follows :
