Type and seven paratypes reared from larvae in rolled 

 leaves of Hystri.v patula, Cincinnati, Ohio. Type and para-

There are several generations a year ; larvae winter in the

 ments whitish, remaining abdominal segments whitish, with subdorsal

Large numbers of the larvae of this species were found 

 feeding on leaves of Lithospermum I at i folium, Clermont Coun- 

 ty. Ohio, July 10. The larva when young spins a web on the 

 under side of a leaf, stretching from midrib to a lateral vein, 

 but not reaching the margin. At this time it eats the lower 

 side of the leaf, leaving the upper epidermis untouched. Later 

 it folds the leaf upwards, bringing the margins together near
