'lie following description of the moth is taken from insects bred 
n the peach, and may possibly not apply exactly to those from 
strawberry. It is from the paper of Dr. Clemens already cited: 
Fore wings of the moth ovate-lanceolate, with an opaque space 
| the costa, towards the end of the costal nervure and the first 
costo-marginal branch. Discoidal cell rather narrow, closed by a 
rt nervure. The subcostal sends four branches to the costa, the 
t from a point rather behind the middle of the wing, much sep- 
ted from the second, and the last furcate on the costa before the 
and a simple branch beneath the latter to inner margin just 
eath the tip of the wing. The median subdivides into four 
nches, rather approximated at their origins, the medio-posterior 
nch being nearly opposite to the second marginal. Subcostal 
pate at the base. Hind wings trapezoidal, costa retuse, slightly 
irginate beneath the tip, hind margin obliquely rounded; broader 
n the fore wings. Subcostal nervure rather attenuated toward 
base, with a faintly formed intercostal cell, furcate. Discoidal 
broad, closed, with a nervule given off to the hind margin, 
lian three-branclied, medio-posterior branch distant from the 
fers. 
dead smooth, covered thickly with decumbent scales. Forehead 
I ad, almost spherical; ocelli none. Eyes rounded, moderately 
iminent. Labial palpi, second joint thick, with a very abundant tuft 
hair beneath prolonged m front ; third joint smooth, slender and 
ited, as long as the second. Maxillary palpi, short and distinct. 
tyennae simple, scarcely more than one-half as long as the fore- 
gs, slightly denticulated, basal joint smooth. Tongue scaled at 
base, about as long as the labial palpi. 
lead and face pale gray; thorax dark gray. Labial palpi dark 
;ous externally and pale gray at the end; terminal joint gray, 
'ted with dark fuscous. Antennae grayish, annulated with dark 
i[‘wn. Fore wings gray, dusted with blackish brown, with a few 
dkish brown spots along the costae, the largest in the middle, and 
rt blackish brown streaks on the median nervure, subcostal, in 
fold, and one or two at the tip of the wing; cilia fuscous gray. 
\d wings fuscous gray; cilia gray, tinted with yellowish.” 
oncerning the larva of this twig-borer, Prof. Riley says* that 
j^n young it is paler, with a paler head, the body being yellow, 
|ii joint with a crimson band superiorly, narrow on the thoracic 
ts, and broad and divided transversely by a fine pale line on 
feet.
