  Fortunately the attack lasts only while the fruit is young; later Fig
  ` the skin appears to be too thick for the larvae. They have been Q-§

  The larvae are active, cylindrical, pale green or reddish—brown ~ E5
  t ` insects, with a deep brown head, and with the first body division  
  (prothorax) and first two pairs of jointed legs also deep brown. E ig
  The false legs are well developed, and are coloredlike the body.  
  A few slender hairs arise from the head and body. When ready to §`g
  become pupae they draw the leaves together and form a shelter in O g
  ; which the change takes place. They measure when full grown  
    rather more than half an inch long. ;
   :    The pupa is light brown and much shorter. An examplepre-  
    served in alcohol, and hence probably somewhat shrunken, measures °‘
    0.40 inch (10 mm.) in length; the head end is prow-shaped; the  
 `  Q antennae arise at each side of the prow-shape front, curve outward  
 Q    t and backward, then return toward the middle line on the ventral  
    side where they terminate with the second pair of legs, a short {1
  1 » distance anterior to the posterior margins ofthe wing-cases. Thorax  
  decidely convex above, descending to the abdomen, which is also "`
    I arched, and terminates in a rather stout flat spine with a couple E
      of small curved hooks at its end. The abdomen is roughened about E
  by a series of deuticles on each somite, ending on each side near 2
    the spiracle. · l · . • vg
      Adults are provided with broad front wings, appearing as if L
      abruptly cut off at the ends, the anterior margin strongly arched at E
 fj base and a trifle incurved near the tip. The general color of the E
      1 front wings and body is alutaceus or leather-color, with an oblique  
  dusky band beginning at the middle of the anterior margin and  
  extending to the inner angle of the wing. This mark may be  
    obscure in old examples, but some trace of it is generally present; Q
    it has given the species the name oblique-banded leaf-roller, used
