The oblique-banded leaf-roller, No. 35; the leaf-crumpler, No. 37; the many-dotted apple-worm, No. 43; the saddled leaf-hopper, No. 96; the basket-worm, or bag-worm, No. 120; the rose-beetle, No. 151; and the smeared dagger, No. 194, devour the leaves.

The thorax is furrowed in the middle, and the wing-covers are marked with numerous irregular impressed lines and small, elevated, blackish spots. The wingcases taper much behind, and their long and narrow tips are blunt-pointed, and spread apart a little, the latter peculiarity having given to the insect its specific name, divaricata.
