TORTRICIDJE. 337 



over the edge of a leaf to form a rude cocoon for the chrysalis. 

 Mr. Read suggests destroying the leaves thus attected before 

 the}' fall in autumn, as the larvae do not descend to the earth 

 to undergo tlieir transformations. 



Halonota differs from Tortrix in having the apex of the fore 

 wings rather obtuse, and there is a pale blotch usually present 

 on the middle of the inner margin. //. simulana Clemens is 

 brownish ochreous, Avith dull ochreous palpi, reddish at the 

 tip ; the fore Avings are brown, Avith a slight brass}' hue, and 

 with an ochreous dorsal blotch ; the costa is streaked with 

 ochreous, and there are two violet streaks, one running be- 

 neath the tip and the other to a faint eye-like patch, behind 

 which, on the hinder margin, are three black spots. 



The genus Grcqiliolitha is characterized by Stainton as hav- 

 ing the palpi longer than the head, with the fore wings more 

 than twice as long as Avide, the costa being 

 slightly arched, and the apex rather pointed, 

 while the outer edge is a little hollowed out 

 beloAV the apex, and rounded at the inner an- 

 gle. The larvae live in the folded leaACs of 

 shrubs, or in the tops of herbaceous plants, 

 or in their roots. Mr. Robinson refers the 

 Stegaiwptiicha? ocJireana of Clemens, to Gra- 

 pholitha (Fig, 259 ; a, head ; b, fore wing ; c, 

 hind Aving.*) The fore wings are pale yel- 

 lowish, and the outer half of the costa is 

 streaked Avith ochreous brown, and there is an eye-like patch 

 which is white, and contains tAvo ochreous broAvn streaks and 

 two black dots. It was discoA'ered in Virginia. Robinson also 

 refers Clemens' EHnjptycliia saligneana (Fig. 256 ; 8 a) to this 

 genus. It was bred by Mr. B. D. Walsh, in Illinois, from a 

 willow gall. The fore AA'ings are Avhite, tinted Avith yelloAvish, 

 Avith a dark broAvn basal patch, the wing beyond being nearly 

 Avhite varied with lead colored speckles, and striped over the 

 A'enules Avith dull, leaden gray, transverse stripes, tA\'o of which 

 near the anal angle, form a white e3'e-like patch. (Clemens.) 



Under the name of CaUimosema scintillana (Fig. 256; 9 a), 



* The artist has represented the last branch of tlic median vein forked at the 

 tip. It should have been the middle branch. {Clemens.)
