BIRCH LEAF-ROLLERS. 505 



63. Eccopsis zelleriana Fernald. 



According to Professor Fernald this insect feeds on the leaves of Betula 

 populifolia (Trans. Amer. Ent., Soc, 1882, x, 29). 



64. Eccopsis^ var. of jjermwwda/ia Clemens. 



^ This has been reared by Mrs. Dimmock from two larvte taken in 

 Cambridge, Mass., June 17, on the white birch. It pupated about June 

 30, the imagines emerging July 10 and 15. Clemens says of U. per- 

 mundana : 



Larva. — The larva binds together the terminal leaves of Spirfea. It is pale greeu, 

 touched with yellowish at the junction of the segments ; head and shield black. The 

 larva may be taken in the middle of June. 



65. Penthina albeolana Zeller. 



The larva of this Tortricid taken by Mrs. Dimmock September 4, at 

 Cambridge, Mass., on the white birch, pupated September 6, the moth 

 appearing on the 24th of the following May. That it is probably double- 

 brooded is indicated by the fact that Mr. Burgess captured a moth 

 (from which Zeller described the species) August 35. 



66. Pcedisca soUciiana Walk. 



Fernald states that the food-plant of this species is the poplar-leaved 

 birch. (Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, x, p. 40.) 



67. Pcedisca tranamissana Walk. 



Mrs. Dimmock remarks that the larva of this species is common 

 during October, about Cambridge, Mass., " when it eats out the inside 

 of the sterile catkins of Betula alba. It hybernates as pupa." (Psyche, 

 iv, p. 241). 



68. Caeoecia rosaeeana Harris. 



This well-known caterpillar was found feeding on the leaves of the 

 poplar-leaved birch in July and August, the moth appearing the first 

 week in September. Coquillett (Papilio, May, June, 1883, iii, pp. 100, 101 ) 

 describes the larva carefully and gives the names of twenty-four species 

 of food-plants, to which Mrs. Dimmock adds Viburnum dentatum and 

 Philadelphus coronarius. (Psyche, iv, p. 242.) 



69. Caeoecia cerasivorana Fitch. 



Professor Fernald states that this leaf-roller lives on the cherry and 

 Betula populifolia. Dr. D. S. Kellicott states that this insect was, 

 during the summer of 1882, too abundant in certain ornamental birches 

 in Buffalo. (Bull. Nat. Field Club, 1883, p. 44.) 



The four following species of leaf- rolling caterpillars (Tortricidae) also 

 occurred on the leaves at Brunswick, Me., in August and September.
