TORTRICID^E. 335 







It differs from Tortrix in the male having a fold or flap of scales 

 extending nearly to the tip of the ' fore wing, while the outer 

 edge is indented below the tip, which is rather produced up- 

 wards. The larvae of this genus feed in leaves, the edges of 

 which are drawn together by silken threads, or in the stems and 

 seeds of plants. L. rosaceana Harris (Plate 8, fig. 12; 12 a, 

 larva) is pale brown, with two oblique, darker reddish brown 

 bands, and a triangular spot of the same color on the costa near 

 the tip. The hind wings are ochreous j^ellow, and blackish 

 within. The larva, early in June, binds together the leaves of 

 the rose, apple and strawberry. It is plump and rather large, 

 and of a pale yellowish green. We found, on the 23d of June, 

 the fully grown larva on the leaves of the strawberry, doubling 

 them up and binding them together by a few silken threads. 

 The worm is pale livid, greenish above and paler beneath, with 

 a conspicuous black dot on each side of the hinder edge of the 

 prothorax. The head is very pale honey yellow, with two black 

 spots : one near the insertion of the mandibles, and the other 

 on the side near the base of the head. The posterior half of 

 each segment is transversely wrinkled a few times. The body 

 is scattered over with a few minute tubercles, each giving rise 

 to a fine hair. It is .80 of an inch long. One specimen spun 

 its slight cocoon on June 26th, the pupa appearing June 30th. 

 It is sometimes attacked by Ichneumons. The pupa is pointed 

 on the vertex of the head, and on the back of each abdominal 

 ring are two rows of spines. The moth usually appears the 

 last of June. There is a second brood in August. 



We have reared another species from the wild strawberry. 

 It may be called the Lozotcenia fragariana. It is a very pretty 

 moth expanding .80 of an inch, with red fore wings, darker on 

 the outer half and with a large triangular white spot near the 

 middle of the costa ; the outer edge of the spot is hollowed out. 

 The outer edge of the wing is pale, especially in the middle, 

 and concolorous with the head and palpi, and thorax. The 

 hind wings and abdomen are whitish buff. The hind wings 

 are whitish beneath. The larva may be found in Maine, early 

 in June, folding the leaves, and the moth appears in the mid- 

 dle of the same month.
