Habitat: Notch, Pa. 



Type: Cat. No. 19205, U. S. N. M. 



Bred by the writer from leaftying larvae on maple together 

 with nearly allied, Sparganothis pettitana Robinson, which occurred 

 in much larger proportions. 



Spargonothis ferreana n. sp. 



Labial palpi reddish ochreous, shaded exteriorly with reddish brown. 

 Head light ochreous. Thorax reddish brown, with the posterior tip and 

 the tips of the patagia yellow. Forewings rusty brown with light ochreous 

 markings, made up of small oval spots, separated by veins of the ground 

 color; the basal third of the wing is mottled in this pattern; another aggre- 

 gation of ochreous spots occupy a large semicircle, resting on the middle 

 of the costal edge; a third area of somewhat further separated ochreous 

 spots occupies the apical fourth of the wing; only a broad dorsal blotch 

 at apical third of dorsum with two oblique branches to costa show the 

 unmottled brown ground color; cilia yellow. Hindwings silvery white 

 with a ochreous tinge. Abdomen whitish ochreous. Legs whitish, shaded 

 exteriorly with brown. Alar expanse: 21 mm. 



Habitat: Ilion, N. Y., H. McElhose, Coll.

Tortrix (Cacoecia) lambertiana n. sp. 



Labial palpi light reddish ochreous; second joint ascending, terminal

 tennae light brown with whitish annulations. Forewings light golden 

 brown with silvery ochreous markings, which are edged with darker reddish 

 brown, as follows: an indistinct, strongly angulated fascia from middle 

 of costa to tornus, the lower half of which is nearly perpendicular and 

 broken up into half a dozen spots by thin longitudinal crosslines of the 

 ground color; perpendicular series of similar spots just before apex; all of 

 these markings are in other fresh, bred specimens more or less obliterated 

 by the ground color; cilia silvery white. Hindwings whitish ochreous with 

 white cilia. Abdomen and legs dull ochreous. Alar expanse : 19 to 22 mm.

Foodplant: Pinus lambertiana. 



Type: Cat. No. 19235, U. S. N. M. 



Closely allied to Tortrix negundana Dyar and allies, for which 

 Meyrick retains the genus Cacoecia on the single character: as- 

 cending palpi, in difference from his conception of Tortrix, which
