THE INSECTS OF NEW JERSEY. 



533 



A. angusella Grt. Found near Brooklyn, N. Y., the larva boring into the 

 leaf stems of hickory. 



A. caryae Grt. Ocean County, not rare; the larva bores into the twigs 

 of hickory. 



A. rubrifasciella Pack. Near New York City (Bt) ; Holly Beach VII 

 (Haim) ; the larva in a case between leaves of sweet fern and alder. 



A. betulella Hulst. Montclair, the larvae in tubes between birch leaves 



(Kf). 

 A. comptoniella Hulst. Common near New York City; the larva in a 



case between terminal leaves of "Comptonia" and "Myrica." 



A. hebescella Hulst. Ocean Co. VI, larva in a case on oak. 



The species in this series have not been well collected in New Jersey, 

 and others will be found. In general, specimens must be bred to be 

 secured in good condition. 



MINEOLA Hulst. 



M. amplexella Rag. Newark V (Wdt) ; Anglesea V, VI (Kf). 

 M. juglandis LeBaron. Burlington and Ocean counties; larva not rare in 

 June, on hickory. 



M. vaccinii Riley. On cranberry 

 bogs in July. The larva is the 

 "cranberry fruit-worm" and 

 may be found on almost all 

 bogs, its presence being indi- 

 cated by the premature color- 

 ing of the berries. No serious 

 injuries are caused by the 

 species in this State. 



M. indiginella Zell. Throughout 

 the State, not rare. The larva 

 is an "apple-leaf crumpler," 

 but also feeds on quince, plum, 

 cherry, etc. It is rarely 

 troublesome now-a-days in well-kept orchards, the sprayings made 

 for the codling moth serving to keep it in check.

 vaccinii: a, berry, with egg, natural 

 size; b, c, egg, enlarged; d, 

 larva; e, pupa; h, adult; all 

 enlarged; g, cocoon nat- 

 ural size. 



DIORYCTRIA Zell. 



D. abietella S. V. Anglesea VI, 20, and have also seen the larva on pines, 

 Ocean county in early June. 



PINIPESTIS Grt. 



P. zimmermanni Grt. I have seen what I take to be injuries caused by 

 the larva of this insect in Sussex and Warren Counties. It bores 

 in pine, and in some sections of this country is seriously injurious. 



P. spec, indet. Bred from pine bark, Brown's Mills VIII, 6-20; a species 

 near "albovittella" (Dke).
