THE GRAPE-BERRY MOTH. 29 



THE PUPA. 



The pupae are 5 mm. (three-sixteenths inch) in length, light green- 

 ish brown, with eyes and caudal border of abdominal segments and 

 last two or three segments darker brown. There is a row of coarse 

 short spines near the cephalic border, a row of finer ones along the 

 caudal border of the dorsum of each abdominal segment, and eight 

 bristles, with recurved tips for hooking into the silken cocoon, occur 

 around the tip of the abdomen. On emergence of the adult from the 

 cocoon the exuviae are drawn about halfway out of the cocoon.

Endopiza viteana Clem., Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila. 359, 1860. 



Carpocapsa vitisella, Rathvon, Prac. Farmer, p. 170, 1868. 



Penihina vitivorana Pack., Guide Study Ins., 336, 1869. 



Head, thorax, palpi light brown, specked with darker brown, lower and outer sides 

 and tips of palpi and posterior thoracic tuft dark brown. 



Forewing: — Ground color, lilaceous-blue, middle fascia and large spots brown, over- 

 laid with much black. Costal spots lighter brown. A dash of white about middle of 

 outer third. 



Base to middle fascia lilaceous-blue, inner fascia almost obsolete, represented by a 

 narrow band of black scales, each fringed with light brown, from dorsum but not reach- 

 ing costa by a quarter, three small spots and two small ones between them of brown- 

 black scales on costa before middle fascia. And in the same space on dorsum four 

 black dots, the dorsal margin narrowly overlaid with light fuscous, brown and black 

 scales, causing a mottled appearance. 



The middle fascia is evenly convex on its inner edge, and is of almost even width 

 throughout, except at about middle of wing, the outer edge curves downward and out- 

 ward at right angles to the band, and then turns abruptly upward to costa (in the curve 

 thus formed rests the white oblique patch) from outer end of this branch the outer line 

 of fascia continues inwardly oblique to costa, slightly indented, the lower half of 

 fascia triangular. Color smoky-black en upper half, a small patch of same at one- 

 third above dorsum, otherwise smoky brown, lightest at dorsum. Before anal angle is 

 a triangular brown spot. Above the angle an irregular rounded blotch of brown and 

 black, indented at its lower outward corner by a spur of the ground color, its outline 

 also broken by a spur of ground color on its outer upper edge. Apical spot flatly tri- 

 angular. Ground color of costal margin between fascia and apex, whitish blue, four 

 brown costal spots in this space, the inner a mere outwardly oblique line curving into 

 outer lower end of second spot, latter and fourth are triangular-oblique, third spot 

 rectangular. Below these spots and above the white patch are scattered a few brown 

 scales. Cilia bluish grey, darker at apex and light fuscous at anal angle. Underside 

 dark fuscous, whitish below fold, three geminated whitish spots on costa before apex, 

 and a number of others on extreme edge of costa only, between these and base, cilia 

 darker with narrow light subciliate line. 



Abdomen smoky black, with metallic reflection, anal tuft silvery-white above, yel- 

 lowish beneath, tipped with dark fuscous; underside abdomen whitish; legs same 

 inwardly and between joints, outwardly smoky-black. 



Hind wing: — Smoky fuscous, lighter towards base, darkest at apex, cilia paler; 

 underside fuscous.
