782 FIFTH REPORT OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL COMMISSION. 
spiracles; the band it irregularl J edged above and below with dark known. Some- 
times a narrow white inedio-ventral bair line is present, narrowly edged on each side 
with dark brown, and inclosed by the same reddish-brown tint as along the back. 
Length, 24 to SO", 
l'upa. — Body green, becoming usually brown j thorax green above, spotted with 
brown, the wings and legs pea-green, with two subdorsal white stripes along the abdo- 
men, end ■ lateral white stripe; beneath, four longitudinal brown stripes. The papa 
often becomei brown, and the wings slashed with light brown, the antennas and fore- 
legs <>t* the same color, while the middle and hind legs are white. The terminal spine 
is rather slender, long, ending in two long, large, excurved hooks: a pair of much 
smaller ones at their base, and two pairs on the sides, i. e. one pair on the sides near the 
base, and the other farther underneath. Length, 11 to 15 mm . 
Moth. — With unusually broad, transparent wings, which are white or pale ash. 
Head deep yellow. Forewings crossed by two black lines, the inner with four scal- 
lops, the outer line sinuous, scalloped, with a great curve outward between the sub- 
costal and the third median venule. Opposite the discal dots are three acute, smaller 
scallops, all of equal size. Fringe whitish, distinctly checkered with black on the 
ends of the venules. Hiud wings with a scalloped outer line, often obsolete toward 
the costal edge, varying in its distance from the outer edge ; beyond this line the 
wing is darker than at the base. Expanse of wings, 33 mm . Its range, so far as 
known, is from Maine and Canada to the Middle States. 
108. Eufidonia notataria (Walk.). 
This moth is common in the Northern States in dry pine woods and 
open fields with scattered pine bushes, in June and early in July. Its 
flight is rather weak and vacillating, as in many geometrid moths. 
The genus differs from both Ematurga and Fidonia iu the presence of 
six instead of five subcostal venules, the first being long and free. It 
also differs in the long, somewhat swollen hiud tibia?, and the unusually 
short, rather stout tarsi. The moth is white, with brown spots and 
bauds, and with feathery antenna?. Mr. L. W. Goodell has reared it 
at Amherst, Mass., from caterpillars found on the white pine. He has 
since sent me the following notes on this moth : 
I got the eggs of F. notataria, from a moth confined in a box. They were laid 
July 3, hatched August 11 and 12, and pupated September 17 to 24. No cocoon was 
made. The moths appeared May 25 to June 4. I have often found the larva? in dif- 
ferent stages of growth from the first of August to October. The larva? closely re- 
semble the leaves of the pine on which they feed, and are difficult to find, but are 
easily captured by beating the branches. I think it must be double brooded, though 
I have never found the larva? of the first brood. I did not preserve any of the larva?, 
which I much regret. 
Egg. — Oblong, covered with hexagonal depressions and bright green in color. 
Length, 0.6 mm ; width, 0.3 mm . Duration of egg-stage, twelve days. 
Young larva. —Length, 2 mm ; head twice as wide as the body, round and deep ocher 
yellow : body dull yellowish green, with a faint paler stigmatal stripe. 
Mature larva. — Body of uniform thickness, deep green, with a narrow subdorsal and 
stigmatal white stripe, and a dorsal greenish-white hair line : dorsal space pale green; 
ventral space yellowish green. Head brownish green, with a lateral white stripe, 
which is a continuation of the spiracular stripe of the body. Length at rest. 88 to 
26 mm ; when crawling, 26 to 27 mm : duration of larval stage thirty-five to forty days. 
Pupa. — Brown, the spaces between the segments and a dorsal line darker; wings 
dark green. Subterranean. (L. W, Goodell.)
