A Classification of Lejndopterous Larvse. 221 



Tortricidia minuta Reakirt. 



Unknown since 1864, so far as I am aware. It is to be hoped 

 that some one may find it again. Reakirt says: "Length 2-2^ 

 lines" (about 4-5 mm); "basal outline elliptical; a flattened ridge 

 widest at the center [==■ dorsal area] extends from head to tail, 

 curving ov^er vertical elevations at the sides, which graduallv 

 diminish before and behind, and terminate at both ends in a rounded 

 margin. Around the base, a row of small, densely spined papillae" 

 [lateral tubercles retained?], "two of which on the head" [meaning 

 joint 3?] "are the most prominent and colored yellow. The body 

 is smooth, but the ridge [dorsum] is thrown into thick fleshy folds; 

 it is thickest in the middle, whence it diminishes anteriorlv and 

 posteriorly. [Color] green ; two bright red lines of equal length, 

 cross each other at right angles on the central portion of the upper 

 ridse . . . ." 



Tortricidia fasciola Herrich-Schafifer 



Outline elliptical, contracted between joints 12 and 13, joint 13 

 forming a square projection. Dorsal region flat, arched over; sub- 

 dorsal ridge slight, serving to separate the dorsum from the sides 

 which laterally form a decided ridge, below which the body again 

 contracts to venter. Head retracted under joint 2, 2 under 3. Body 

 thickly covered with transparent elevations, which appear somewhat 

 flattened on the dorsal region. Color pale yellowish-green ; a yellow 

 line on each subdorsal ridge and on the stigmatal ridge, all meeting 

 on joint 13, and the two subdorsal lines also meet anteriorly by a 

 connecting line on joint 3. A dorsal and a large and a small lateral 

 row of dark green spots, surrounded by yellow, besides" a row of 

 yellow dots on each side the line on the subdorsal ridge, along which 

 the green predominates in round, somewhat elevated spots. Below 

 the stigmatal ridge is a row of green spots, surrounded by white 

 and resting just above the white band bordering the colorless ven- 

 ter. There are certain minute, pale, setae to be distinguished on the 

 ridges by the aid of a lens. 



Apoda y-inversa Packard. • 



Head green, mouth parts dark brown, eyes black; retracted below 

 joint 2, which is in turn retracted below 3. Body elliptical, tail 



1 These larvae I have found several times, but never bred. The uame is an 

 assumption. They may be A. biguttata, or possibly Heterogeneaflexuosa, though 

 I do not think it likely.
