NATURAL SCIENCES OF PHILADELPHIA. 359 



Endopiza ? Guenee. 



Fore wings with the costa regularly arcuated ; tip obtuse and rounded ; hind 

 margin rounded, as well as the inner margin. Neuration normal ; disk with a 

 secondary cell. Hind wings rather broader than the fore wings ; costa slightly 

 concave from the middle; hind margin slightly concave; subcostal nervules 

 connivent at the base ; discal vein curved, with the medio-discal arising from 

 the bifurcation of the two superior branches of the median. 



Head and face rough. With ocelli. Antennae setaceous. Palpi slightly 

 exceeding the face, slightly ascending, truncate ; middle joint slender and 

 cylindrical towards the base, thickened with scales at the tip, so as to be 

 decidedly truncate ; terminal joint minute, ovate. Tongue about as long as the 

 labial palpi. 



E. ? Viteana. Antennae, basal half pale brownish; apical half dark 

 brown. Fore wings blackish brown, or purplish dark brown, from the base to 

 the middle, and reddish brown or dull ochreous thence to the tip. Near the 

 base is a somewhat curved slender band, and from the middle of the costa a 

 central, oblique, dark brown, or dark reddish brown fascia, widening toward 

 the inner margin, from which it is obliquely cut off by the paler color of the 

 wing, leaving a small triangular spot on the margin near the inner angle. In 

 the middle of the apical portion is a large roundish reddish brown spot, and 

 the costa towards the tip is geminated with pale ochreous. Hind wings 

 fuscous. , 



The larva feeds on the fruit of the grape in September; a silken gallery is 

 attached to the external opening in the fruit. Its head is dark brownish ; 

 shield blackish ; body immaculate dark green. It may likewise be taken on the 

 fruit of the wild raspberry in July. The individual feeding on the grape under- 

 goes transformation by weaving a cocoon on the surface of the ground, and that 

 from the raspberry under an excised and turned down portion of a leaf. This, 

 however, may not be its normal habit. 



Another individual, whose imago is included in the description of Vite- 

 ana, and is not distinguishable from it, except by the reddish brown hue 

 of the apical portion of the fore wings, and the general purplish brown hue, 

 differs in habits from it. It lives in a silken gallery, woven in a closed or 

 applied leaf of sassafras; usually the leaf is folded along the face and united 

 with the midrib. It is extremely active and agile in its motions, and weaves 

 with great rapidity. It may be taken early in July. The pupa is contained in 

 the folded leaf, without any cocoon, the tail being attached to a slight web. 

 The imago appears in the latter part of July. 



E? agilana . Fore wings dark brown, sprinkled with pure brown from 

 the middle to the tip ; at the base is a dull metallic bluish spot, and about the 

 middle of the disk a broad, short stripe from the costa, and streak from the 

 costa at the end of the disk, of the same hue. At the inner angle is an indis- 

 tinct ocelloid patch with an exterior streak and two internal spots of a dull 

 metallic bluish hue. Costa geminated with yellowish from the first costal stripe. 

 Hind wings dark fuscous, white along the costa. 



Carpocapsa Treib. 



Distinctively characterized by the large ocelloid patch at the inner angle of 

 the fore wings, which are much wider across the inner angle than toward 

 the base ; tip usually acute, hind margin slightly concave, (Pomonella has 

 neither of these traits;) disk rather above the middle of the wing, rather nar- 

 row, with a secondary cell; apical vein simple. Hind wings slightly broader 

 than the fore wings, nearly ovate; neuration normal, subcostal branches con- 

 nivent, the two superior median nervules on a very short common stalk, medio- 

 discal on a short, erected stalk. 



Head rather rough. With ocelli. Antennae setaceous, pubescent. Palpi ex-
