The moth, of which we reproduce the figures of the larva and imago given by ProfeMor Riley, who flnt deicribed the apeeiet, ranges fl'om Canada to the western parts of the Carolines, thence across the continent to the Paciflc coast, avoiding the wanner regions of the Culf States and southern California. The imago is discriminated from ApaUla UpustHlina Guente by the broader wings, especially of the female, by the paler ground- color of the primaries, and by the absence of the orbicular spot, which is very rarely as conspicuous as it appears In the figure given by Riley, and still further by the very short basal dash on the fore wings, which In A. Upuuutina it long, reaching out- wardly as a sharply defined blacit line one-third of the length of the cell. The larva is also quite different in impor- Unt particulars from that of the species, which has been named, but with which this species is often confounded in collections. The caterpillar feeds upon the foliage of different species of the genus Populus, and Is particularly common in the '54. Fid. M.—AfiOtla fopuli, larva. (After Riley.).
