Family TORTRICID^. 



The Tortricids or "bell-moths" are usally small or moderate sized 

 species with broad, squarely-terminated primaries, the costa of which is 

 usually strongly arched toward the base. The moths are variegated in 

 color, but usually brown gray or golden rather than of brighter hues. 

 The secondaries are usually of the body color and without markings. 



Some of the larvse are leaf-rollers, but the majority are stem and 

 root borers, living and feeding in concealment, more or less sheltered 

 from either contact or stomach poisons, and that makes them difficult 

 to deal with. 



Some of them feed in seeds and growing fruits, the most notable 

 example being found in the Codling Moth, which infests apple and pear, 

 while other species infest grape and a variety of small fruits. 



Sub-family OLETHREUTINJE. 



RHYACIONIA Hbn. (RETINIA Gn.) 



All the species of this genus feed in the shoots or bark of pine, but 

 seldom in sufficient numbers to be troublesome. The larvse all winter 

 in the shoots or in the exuding resin masses and are beyond reach of 

 insecticides. Remedial measures therefore, when such are indicated, 

 are mechanical and mean hand-picking, pruning or similar methods, the 

 cuttings being burnt in all cases.
