third of the inner margin, reaching only half way to costa ; median band crossing 

 wing from basal third of costa to outer third of inner margin, even, somewhat diffused ; 

 outer band forming a triangle on costa. Terminal space silky whitish, mixed with 

 purplish, broad above, arcuately narrowed below ; fringe dark above, pale at anal 

 angle. Between basal and middle bands, e.xtending half way across wing, a light 

 reddish space, edged or partly replaced by silky whitish, indented above its center by 

 a small, dark tooth projecting from the band on either side of it. 



Hind wing light reddish, shaded with smoky black on the apical fringe. Ex- 

 panse, $ 13 mm., 9 18 to 19 mm. 



Three specimens bred from Anona hutrifolia aiid Ncctandraivilde- 

 noviana. Palm Beach, Florida. U. S. Nat. Museum, type, no. 5417. 



We sent a specimen to Prof. C. H. Fernald, the well-known au- 

 thority on North American Tortricidce, who labelled it " Lophoderus 

 allied to and perhaps identical with the variable triferana Walk." 

 The specimens, however, seem so constant and distinct from triferana 

 that we venture to describe it. 



The larva spins up the leaves with a series of transverse walls of 

 web with a round hole in each near the leaf for the larva to pass 

 through. Slightly shining, green, without marks, the tubercles 

 slightly elevated, normal, concolorous.
