three or four times longer than the terminal, without spreading scales at the 

 end. Tongue nearly as long as the anterior coxa?. Thorax not tufted. Abdo- 

 men tufted at the tip in the ^. 



L. Rosaceana, Harris, Ins. Mass., 2d ed., 376. Pale cinnamon-brown. 

 Fore wings with a basal and oblique central fascia of a darker reddish brown 

 and a triangular spot of the same hue on the costa, near the tip, and frequently 

 with a subterminal band. The wing is more or less striated with dark reddish 

 brown lines. Hind wings ochreous yellow, internally blackish. 



The larva binds together the leaves of the rose and other plants. 



L. fervidan a. Palpi, head and thorax brownish ochreous. Fore wings 

 ochreous, with the basal patch reddish brown ; a reddish brown central fascia, 

 interrupted on the disk, with a shining dark brownish spot above it on the middle 

 of the costa ; near the tip, on the costa, is a dark brownish spot, and between 

 the two costal spots, beneath the middle of the wing, is a diffuse patch of the 

 same hue. Hind wings fuscous, along the costa yellowish white. 



Peronea Curtis. 



Fore wings with tufts of elevated scales scattered over the surface; costa not 

 folded, rather abruptly arched at the base, slightly concave in the middle ; 

 apex slightly produced, and the hind margin beneath it slightly concave; inner 

 angle rounded. The disk is placed in the middle of the wing, is rather narrow 

 and without secondary cell; apical vein simple. In the hind wings the costal 

 and subcostal are distinct, the branches of the latter connivent; discal vein 

 curved ; medio-discal on a short stalk at the bifurcation of the two superior 

 branches of the median vein. 



Head scarcely rough. Ocelli small. Face short, rounded, slightly tufted in 

 the middle. Eyes prominent. Antennae setaceous, pubescent beneath. Palpi 

 exceeding the face by one half their length, rather truncate, ascending toward 

 the base and porrected from the middle ; terminal joint minute, almost con- 

 cealed in the scales of the middle joint, which is thin and cylindrical at is 

 base, arching upward on its upper edge, nearly straight beneath, and densely 

 clothed with scales at its end, especially above. Tongue about one-half as 

 long as the anterior coxae. 



P. V i b u r n a n a. Palpi brownish gray. Head dark brownish. Thorax 

 blackish brown in front, dark ochreous behind. Fore wings grayish, with a 

 reddish brown costal patch at the base, and a large triangular patch of the 

 same hue, extending from the middle of the costa to the tip, and nearly across 

 the wing; it is margined internally with dark ochreous, and has an oblique 

 line of the same hue from the costa, passing through its middle. The tufts are 

 minute, black and disposed on ochreous colored bases. Hind wings fuscous. 



The larva rolls and feeds on the leaves of Viburnum and wild cherry. It is 

 immaculate pale green; head pale brownish. The rolled leaves contain a 

 silken web or gallery, in which the larva lives. 



Platynota. 

 Fore wings with tufts and lines of elevated scales disposed over the surface ; 

 costa broadly folded at the base in the ^, where it is abruptly arched, and 

 straight along the middle; the tip and hind margin rounded. The disk is 

 placed in the middle of the wing, and is broadest in the middle, without se- 

 condary cell. There are three subcosto-marginal nervules ; the apical branch 

 is bifid, with two disco-central nervules, the lower one approximated to the 

 median system ; the medio-posterior is moderately remote from the penultimate 

 branch, and is opposite the second marginal nervule. In the hind wings the 

 costal and subcostal veins arise from a common stalk; the branches of the 

 subcostal separate from each other at the origin of the discal vein, which is 

 somewhat angulated ; the two superior branches of the median arise at a 

 common point, where is likewise received the medio-discal on a short oblique
