98 REPORT OF No. 19 



4,583. Crambus myelins, Hbn. Hurdman's Bridge, Ont., July 26-30. 

 This species is recorded from Europe, Maine and Nova Scotia. 

 It is very rarely met with, and Mr. Young's specimens are the 

 first I have seen. 



5,137^. Eucosma sujfusana, Zell. This European species has nev.er been re- 

 corded from America, but is likely to prove of considerable 

 economic importance after a few years. I have receatly re- 

 ceived specimens for determination from several localities in 

 New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Portsmouth, N.H., and Eegina, 

 Sask., (Willing), August 15. Early this spring I bred the moths 

 from larvae crumpling and rolling the young leaves of my rose 

 bushes and eating the entire bud. The larva is transparent pink- 

 ish green, almost slug-like in shape. I have not had it from 

 Eastern Canada ; but it will be found wherever roses grow. 



6,189. Thiodia signatana, Clem. Received from Mr. Gibson, and labelled 

 "Miner in maple leaves. Kirk's Ferry, issued Sept. 18." • This 

 species is quite common in Montclair and, during June, can be 

 found in abundance on the trunks of the red maple. 



The larvae are found in September, living in a tube on the 

 underside of the leaf, and still further protected by a web of 

 silk across the leaf, from edge to edge. It would be interest- 

 ing to know if its habits are different at Kirk's Ferry; possibly 

 the term "Miner" referred only to the young larvae, immediately 

 out of the ova. 



5,298. Carpocapsa toreuta, Grote. One specimen received through Dr. 

 Fletcher, labelled "Bred from cone of Pinus ponderosa, British 

 Columbia (Interior), (J. R. Anderson)." This is another verj* 

 rare species; only one or two other specimens are known. 



5,325. Acleris angusana, Fern. Hurdman's Bridge; bred from larvae 

 webbing the leaflets of hemlock. Mr. Young sent me eight speci- 

 mens, exhibiting a great range of variability; a narrow band 

 from base to apex connects them all; but this band ranges from 

 pure white, through the reds to black. The ground color, like- 

 wise, in different specimens, ranges from pale yellow, through 

 the reds to purplish black, and in some of the specimens a white 

 transverse angulated band through the middle of the wing; in 

 others, the outer half is paler than the inner. On p. 849, Fifth 

 Report Ento. Comm., Packard records the breeding of this spec- 

 ies from spruce and fir, but calls it Vat. "E" of Teras imriana, 

 Fern. 



5,475. Carposina crescentella, Wlsm. Hurdman's Bridge, (Young); lo- 

 cality "unknown" in Dyar's list; it has also been taken in West- 

 ern Pennsylvania, (Merrick). 



5,488. Periclymenobius canariellus, Wlsm. Hurdman's Bridge, (Young); 

 Rounthwaite, (Marmont). The three species under this genus can 

 easily be recognized by the scythe-like extension of the cilia of 

 the apex of the fore wings, making them veritable hook-tips ; I 

 believe all three will be found in Canada from Ottawa westward. 

 I have already recorded P. frustellus from Aweme, (Criddle), and 

 Cartwright, (Heath), and also have canariellus from Welling- 

 ton, B.C., (Taylor) and Arizona, (Kunze). 



5,^18. Euclemensia bassettella, Clem. Hurdman's Bridge, (Young). 



This is one of the most beautiful of the larger Tineids, a long 

 bar of crimson on an opalescent-black back-ground. It has been
