346 ANNUAL REPORT OF NEW- YORK 



APPLE. LEAYES. 



marks forming an eye-like spot, and another near the inner angle 

 formed by three minute black spots arranged in a triangle, having 

 often a black dot in Its centre. Width 0.50 to 0.60. This is 

 probably identical with the European ocellana of Schifferrmyller, 

 afterwards named luscana by Fabricius and comitana by Hubner, 

 Stephens, and others. See Harris's Treatise, p. 377. 



46, RosACEAN ToRTRix, LozotcBTiia Rosactana, Harris. (Lepidoptera. 

 Tortricidae.) 



In May and the fore part of June, with silken threads drawing 

 together the young leaves at the ends of the limbs, secreting itself 

 within them and feeding thereon ; a slender pale green or yellowish 

 green worm, sometimes flesh red or brownish, 0.75 long, its head 

 and neck above brownish, often a darker green stripe along its back, 

 and with a few smooth dots, each yielding a short fine hair; changing 

 to a pupa within its nest, from which about the first of July comes 

 a short broad flat moth, resembling a bell in its outline, its color 

 dull nankin or drab yellowish, of a dusky shade from numerous 

 small wavy dark brown lines crossing its fore wings, on which are 

 three slightly darker broad oblique bands, situated upon the base, 

 the middle and the hind part. Width of the spread wings 1.10. ' 

 See Harris's Treatise, p. 376. Both the worms and the moths vary 

 greatly as they are reared upon rose, apple, peach or cherry and 

 other leaves, and it is very doubtful whether this is diiferent from 

 a common European insect possessing the same habits — the Rose 

 Tortrix (L. Rosana, Linn.) the several varieties of which have 

 heretofore been regarded as distinct species. 



47. Rosy IIispa, Uroplata rosea, "Weber. (Coleoptera. Hispidae.) 



In July, large brownish blister-like spots appearing upon the 

 leaves, from a leaf-mining worm in their interior, eating the green 

 parenchyma and leaving the skin entire; the worm 0.20 long, taper- 

 ing, flattened, soft, yellowish white, its head and neck blackish; 

 changing to a pupa in the leaf, from which in six or seven days 

 comes a small flat coarsely punctured beetle, its wing covers form- 

 ing an oblong square, tawny yellow, posteriorly red or purple, 

 which color extends forward to the shoulders and onwards upon 

 the sides of the thorax in a stripe which is often black. Length
