an inch to an inch, the wings being variously lined and clouded 
th black. Specimens obtained August 1st, pupated on the 11th 
that month, and emerged on the 22d. Half grown larvae collected 
,. the 6th of September, probably represented a second brood. 
Larva. The full grown larva is thus characterized in Packard’s 
onograph of the Phalaenidse of North America: “When fully 
own, it measured one inch in length, and was of a pale yellowish- 
een color, with a broad reddish-brown stripe edged with black on 
e back, and on each side of the fifth ring was a small black spot. 
’Ptember 4th, after spinning a few threads over itself it became a 
ipa, and was transformed to a moth November 14th.” 
Half grown larvae obtained at Centralia, September 6th, had the 
[lowing characters: Pale yellowish-green upon the sides, deepen- 
g to. brown beneath, finely and irregularly lined with brown, 
ese lines breaking up on the posterior segments into an irregular 
arbling of brown and pale green. Beneath each spiracle on the 
rtless legs is a black blotch, largest on the anterior segments, 
le back is reddish-brown, lined with greenish-white. The two 
adian lines enclose a narrow stripe of brown between them, in 
lich are scattered points of white, forming an imperfect median 
te. The lines next outside these are likewise somewhat imperfect, 
t those at the border of the dorsal brown shade are nearly con- 
iuous. Counting the interrupted median line, there are conse- 
ently seven in all upon the back. All these are jagged in outline 
d slightly zigzag in course. 
The upper surface of the head is divided into two lobes by a deep 
lgitudinal groove. It is drab-brown, with a herring-bone mark of 
lite on either side of the above groove. Outside of this is a 
^ged longitudinal white line, continuous with the sub-dorsal lines 
the body; and still outside these another longitudinal white line, 
e space between the two latter being marked by a few irregular, 
lique white dashes. The side of the head is also brown, lined with 
lite. 
The two medial dorsal lines unite in one on the cervical shield, 
lich thus becomes five-lined. The legs are brown, mottled with 
aenish-wliite, the outside of each bearing a large, oval, whitish 
ace, surrounding a small black oval spot. The entire surface of 
3 larva is sparingly set with black piliferous tubercles, which are 
ranged in transverse rows, two to each segment. The spiracles 
3 pale, ringed with black. 
Pupa .—The pupa is said by Dr. Packard to be half an inch long, 
d light brown in color. 
Image >. The following description of the moth is quoted from 
ckard’s Monograph already cited: “Antennae moderately pectin- 
3d. Palpi pale gray, blackish on the sides, white at the tip and 
the under side of the basal joint. Head dark in front, pale on 
; 3 vertex; a few dark scales between the insertions of the antennae. 
I dy and wings pale ash; both wings somewhat produced toward 
3 apex. Fore wings speckled with brown scales, a large blister at 
3e.; three prominent lines, the inner broadly curved, the curve 
ltinuing across the median space, the line heavy and black, sub¬ 
tly angulated outward below the costa, broadening on the costa
