as Eudeniis botrana (Schiff.). Conchylis ambiguella (Hiibn.) has very- 

 similar habits in Europe. See Nordlinger's "Die Kleinen Feinde 

 der Landwirthschaft," p. 424 ff. It is the Lobcsia botrana of the 

 later editions of Packard's Guide. 



EURYPTYCHIA SALIGNEANA Clem. (Rep. II, 1 34). — This ac- 

 cording to Prof. Fernald, who has seen the type, is the same as 

 Clemens's Hedya Scudderiana (Proc. Acad. Sci. Phila., i860, p. 

 358), the description of which is very brief and presumably taken 

 from a female. The genus EiiryptycJiia (Proc. Ent. Soc. Phila. 

 V, 140) is founded on the male, which has a broad fold extending 

 to the middle of costa on the primaries and covering up a pencil 

 of yellowish hairs. Zeller subsequently redescribed it as Poedisca 

 affusana (Beitriige, etc., pt. Ill, p. loi [307]). From a compari- 

 son of female specimens I am led to believe that this is the same 

 species that is commonly known in Europe as Spilonota roborana 

 Schiff, though in Staudinger and Wocke's Catalogue cynosbana 

 Fabr., described in 1675, is given the priority and aquana Hubn. 

 is placed as a synonym. The obliquity of the edge of the basal 

 dark patch and the details of the occellated spot upon which 

 species have been separated, I find to be variable. 



The insect in Europe is known to feed on the leaf-buds of 

 the rose. I have abundant proof that in this country it is not 

 a gall-maker, but, as was inferred in the Report, an inquiline. I 

 have found its larva feeding upon the flowers as well as amid the 

 terminal leaves of the Golden-rod, and have also found it in other 

 galls. When feeding in the more exposed positions it generally 

 has a carneous or rosy tint. 



Anchylopera fragarl^ W. & R. (Rep. I, 142) — This has 

 been referred to PJwxopteris coinptana Frohl., and while the two 

 very closely resemble each other. Prof. Fernald informs me that 

 he yet hoMevQS fr agar ice t«irbe distinct. 



TORTRIX CINDERELLA Riley (Rep. W. p. 47). — From speci- 

 mens rared from cranberry-feeding larvae received from Mr. Jno. 

 H. Brakeley, of Bordentown, N. J., I am satisfied that this is the 

 same species briefly characterized by Packard in the ist edition 

 of his Guide (p. 334) as Tortrix oxycoccana, and that T. n.alivor- 

 ana LeBaron (my Rep. IV, p. 47) is but a dimorphic orange form, 

 subsequently described by Packard as T. vacciniivorana (Hay- 

 den's Report of the U. S. Geol. and Geogr. Survey of the Ter- 

 ritories 1878, p. 522). The orange and ash-gray specimens are 

 thus bred both from Apple and Cranberry. I have reared both 

 forms from Cranberry and from Apple, and they are undistin- 

 guishable in the larva and pupa states. The gray form is often 

 more or less suffused with orange scales and the orange form less 

 frequently with gray scales. This is the most remarkable case of 

 dimorphism with which I am familiar in the family, and points 

 strongly to the important bearing of biological facts on a true 

 classification. The dimorphic coloring is not sexual, but occurs
