114 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



it would be more correct to say " basal joint of antennae somewhat 

 enlarged ; second joint of palpi with a very minute tuft." 



The species is ochreous ; the head and palpi pale or yellowish ochre- 

 ous ; the antennae white, annulate with brown ; fore wings reddish 

 ochreous, darker towards the apex, with the costal margin from base to 

 cilia? white. 



The larval case is ochreous red, cylindrical, laterally compressed at the 

 hinder end, and over three lines long. It is attached to the under side 

 of the leaves of Carya alba, and the larva eats out the parenchyma in 

 little patches approaching a square form. 



The ornamentation of the imago is nearer that of C. limosipcnnella 

 than to any of the other species figured in Nat. Hist. Tin. Al. ex. 4^ 

 lines. 



C. Vernoniceella, n. sp. 



This species, like many others which I do not specially name, is known 

 only by its larval case, and I refer to it simply on account of its great 

 size. It is about an inch long and slender, reminding one somewhat of 

 the basal half of a " darning needle." The larva feeds on leaves of the 

 Iron-weed (Vernonia). Miss Murtfeldt informs me that she has found it 

 in Missouri, and I have found it in Kentucky. 



There are two species besides caryaefoliella feeding on Hickory leaves. 

 One of these makes a very small case, laterally compressed and but little 

 more than a line long. Another makes a case about the size of that of 

 caryaefoliella, but it is also somewhat laterally compressed, and the case 

 having been cut out of the edge of the leaf, the upper edge of it shows 

 the serrations of the leaf. 



There is also a species making a pistol-formed case that feeds on 

 Chestnut leaves. And the large blackish pistol-formed case of C. tilliaella 

 Clem., the larva and case only of which are known, is also found here 

 occasionally. I have also met with a small pearly-white case less than 

 two lines long, and a white fusiform case one-half an inch long, besides 

 many others found in this locality. A species which feeds on Blackberry 

 leaves ( Rubus villosus) makes a case out of the edge of the leaf, showing 

 the serrations on the dorsal edge.
