DESCRIPTION. 
Larva —This is a plump, smooth, green caterpillar, about an inch 
lone concolorous except the head, the first thoracic segment and 
the legs The head is yellowish, with the anterior margin and the 
month warts brown. The ocelli are four m number, arranged in a 
semicircle at the side of the head, the two anterior being muM 
larger than the others. There are two or more long hairs on the 
vertex, and a number of others collected about the ocelli. 
The first thoracic segment is brown and leathery above, but with 
a few Ion o' hairs which are not set on tubercles. At each end oil 
this dorsal coriaceous plate, is a white spot set v e ; 
The two remaining thoracic segments have each a single transverse 
row of six pale, piliferous tubercles, the row being double at the 
ends • but all the other segments except the penultimate have two 
Tot. These tubercles are much largest on the posterior segments, 
and the rows extend entirely around the fourth, fifth, te , 
eleventh and twelfth,—those which are destitute of prolegs. . 
Imago. _The moth has the palpi, head and thorax browmsli- 
ochreous The anterior wings vary from ochreous to ferruginous, 
with numerous irregular, transverse pale brown ®^ eaks | n f 
rpntral fascia obsolete centrally, indicated on costa ana internal 
margin by two ochreous brown spots, frequently containing centraJ y 
an aggregation of purplish brown scales. Sub-apical costal spot 
like preceding sometimes obsolete. Posterior wings pale ochreous, 
fringes paler! Beneath, both pairs of wings ochreous, the anterior 
paii f deepest in color. Abdomen and under surface, of thorax bright 
ochreous Expanse of male 21-24 mm., of female 30 mm. in one 
specimen, the anterior wings are dark reddish brown, and the oblique 
band is much plainer than usual, being merely interrupted m the 
middle. In all, the position of the median and apical band 
plainly marked out by well-defined dark boundary lines. 
LIFE HISTORY. 
Larvae of this species, obtained July 9, in Southern Illinois, and. 
sent to the Laboratory, commenced to appear as moths on the 24th 
and continued until the 30th, when the last emerged. Th° B e co1 
lected July 31, transformed to the imago from August 1/ to August| 
20 and full-grown larvae were still on the vines August 7. It i£i 
probable, therefore, but not certain that there are two bioods 
this species, corresponding closely to those of the oblique-bande 
leaf-roller. 
REMEDIES. 
The remedies proper to this species are evidently the same a 
those applying to the lesser strawberry leaf-roller the apphcatioi 
poisons suspended in fluid being somewhat more like y : v , i 
because the larva wraps itself less closely m the leaves of the plan
