Gelechia TRISTRIGELLA. Whin. 



The only difference observable between this and the above 

 larva is that the thoracic legs in the present species are black, 

 with whitish joints, while in agrimoniclla they are greenish, 

 sometimes tinged outwardly with pale brown ; in the present 

 species the spiracles are situated on the lower edge of the third 

 piliferous spots on the abdominal segments, while in agrimoniclla 

 they are placed below these spots; length 15 mm. Lives on 

 hazel {Corylus aniericana) in a tube formed by rolling a leaf from 

 the apex toward the base, the tube is closed at each end as if 

 done by pinching the upper and lower part of the tube together 

 with the thumb and finger. The excrements of the larva are 

 retained in the tube, and when about to pupate the larva crawls 

 into this excrementitious mass and forms an oblong cavity which 

 it lines with a very thin layer of silk. Two pupated June 21 and 

 the imagos issued July 5. (W.)
