When ready to transform it webs together several leaves and passes the pupa state in the nest thus made. The adult (Fig. 351) is a blackish- brown moth, with an irregular grayish shade on the outer half of the fore wings, and with very broad hind wings. The palpi, which are not well shown in Fig. â i^T.,âHypena scahra. the figure, are long, widc, and flat- tened ; they project horizontally Hke a snout. The Hop-vine Hypena^ Hypena humuli (H. hu'-mu-li). is closely allied to the preceding and has often been con- founded with it. The larva feeds on the leaves of hop, and is sometimes a serious pest. One of the most abundant of our Deltoids is Pseu- daglossa lubricalis (Pseu-da-glos'sa lu- bri-ca'lis.) In this species (Fig. 352) the fore wings are chocolate-brown, crossed with yellowish Hnes; the hind wings are much hghter. The palpi - 1 . 1 J Fig. 352.âPseudaglossa lubri^ are long; but they are curved over caitsf the head, so that they appear short when seen from above, as represented in the figure. The larva feeds on grass. Next to the Deltoids there is placed a group of moths which may be called the Similar-winged Owlets, from the fact that both pairs of wings are similarly marked by trans- verse lines. The group includes the largest of our Noctuids. The two following species will serve to illustrate this group. The Lunate Similar- wing, Homoptera liinata (Ho-mop'-te-ra lu-na'ta.)â This is a brownish moth Fig. -i^-^'âHoTHoptera lunata. with marbled wings. It varies greatly in its markings. Figure 353 represents a.
