910 FIFTH REPORT OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL COMMISSION. 
INSECTS INJURIOUS TO THE COMMON JUNIPER. 
JuniperUS communis. 
l. The low-bush juniper inch-worm. 
Eupitkeoia miserulata Grote 
Order Lepidopteka ; family Piial.*:xid.£. 
Feeding <>n tlie common low spreading juniper bush, a small pea-green span-worm, 
with a narrow thread-like subdorsal and a wider lateral white line, changing early 
in June to a chrysalis contained in a thin white cocoon, the small moth appearing at 
the end of the month and through the summer. 
This small delicate common moth was reared by Mr. Cassiuo at Salem, 
Muss., and like its European congeners lives on the bush juniper (not 
on Taxus baccata, as stated in ray monograph of georaetrid moths). 
The larva was found late in May, and June 4 began to spin, the pupa 
being inclosed in a slight white cocoon. It ranges from Maine to Texas. 
Larva.— Of the characteristic form, being rather thick in the middle, the body seen 
dorsally decreasing in thickness from the tail to the head. Supra-anal plate large, 
triangular, not acutely pointed, deep red, white on the edges. Head small, not so 
wide as the prothoracic ring, pea-green, color of the leaves on which it feeds, dorsal 
line dark-green ; subdorsal white, and a wider lateral white line. Segments trans- 
versely wrinkled. Body provided with short, black, scattered hairs. Length, 0.50 
inch. 
Pupa. — Four abdominal segments project beyond the ends of the wings, the thorax 
and under side of the wings and limbs with a greenish tinge ; the rest of the body 
pale horn-brown, as usual. Head full, convex between the eyes. End of abdomen 
with a long rounded spine, with three pairs of long hairs curved outwards at the 
end. Length, 0.23 inch. 
Moth. — This is our most common pug-moth, and may be distinguished by the pointed 
fore wings, with the numerous transverse lines angulated sharply outward, the extra- 
discal line forming a sharp angle opposite the discal dot, and notched inward on the 
subcostal vein ; by the distinct submarginal wavy white line ending in a large white 
twin-spot at the inner angle ; by the fine dark lines on the hind wings, and by the 
heavy black costal spots and marginal lines on the under side. The fore wings ex- 
pand 0.85 inch. 
2. The juniper web-worm. 
Dapsilia rutilana Hiibner. 
Order Lepidoptera ; family Tortricid.e. 
The following account is taken from Professor Biley's report to the 
Department of Agriculture for 1878, with the accompanying illus- 
tration : 
"This leaf-roller has been found to seriously injure the imported 
Irish and Swedish junipers (Juniperus communis var.) in nurseries on 
Long Island, having first become known in this country in 1877; it has
