646 FIFTH REPORT OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL COMMISSION. 
Larva.— Body of the usual form, tapering towards the bead and tail. Head not so 
wide as tin- prothoracio segment, pale whitish green. Body pale whitish green : two 
dusky subdorsal longitudinal lines, with faint lateral dusky lines beginning on the 
side of the prothoracio segment. Spiracles large, conspicuous and dark. Each seg. 
ment with one large transverse dorsal wrinkle a little behind the middle. Ten ab- 
dominal legs. Length, 20 mm . 
9. Titieid larva. 
The sycamore trees in and about Providence have for several years 
been much infested by this caterpillar, one or two of which are to be 
found in nearly every leaf. It makes one or two large folds in the Leaf, 
living within a web in the crease. At the end of September (the 25th) 
it forms an irregular oval cocoon amoug the leaves preparatory to 
pupating. The cocoon is broad and flat, formed of reddish silk. 
Larva. — Of the usual cylindrical shape, tapering a little towards each end. Head 
not so wide as the first segment behind, somewhat pointed ; amber-colored, with 
two distinct black spots on each side. Body pale straw yellow, with sparse pale 
hairs, one-third as long as the body is thick. Thoracic feet dark, abdominal ones 
concolorous with the body. Length, 10 mm . 
A larger larva. — Straw-yellow, with two subdorsal dark-brown lines, and behind 
the head a supra -spiracular line extending as far as the third pair of spiracles. Spira- 
cles black. Length, 20 mm . 
10. The sycamore blotch-miner. 
This miner forms on the upper side of the leaf in October a broad 
mine doubled on itself and meeting so as to form a long, irregular round 
blotch one-half inch in diameter. 
The following species also occur on the sycamore :
