Apple-Leaf Roller. 41 



tipped with a broad dusky ring, tarsi dusky, with whitish rings 

 at the articulations; ventral surface of abdomen dull brown. 

 Antennae piceous, setaceous, two thirds as long as body. 

 Tegulaa whitish. Wings subhyaline; nervures and stigma 

 brownish black, the former pale at base, and the latter with a 

 pale spot near where it arises; areolet petiolated. Scutum of 

 mesothorax somewhat shining, finely granulate, with shallow 

 punctures, and a faintly impressed longitudinal area on each 

 side of the dorso-meson; very sparsely pubescent. Scutellum 

 of mesothorax granulate, pubescent. Scutellum of meta- 

 thorax gramulate; carinas prominent, so arranged as to en- 

 close a sub-circular area on anterior dorso-lateral surfaces, a 

 central pentagonal longitudinal area, the surface of which is 

 transversely striate, and on each side of which there are two 

 sub-triangular areas, with reticulated surfaces. Abdomen 

 shining, with sparse, fine pubescence; first segment subcylin- 

 drical, enlarged posteriorly. Ovipositor nearly as long as 

 abdomen. 



Described from two specimens bred from Teras minuta in 

 June. 



Differs from L. annulipes Cresson in the larger ovipositor, 

 and in the thoracic sculpture; and from L. fufjitiva (Say) in 

 its smaller size and black posterior coxte.
