Piiitliiiia iilbiHthuiit Zellcr ( Verhantll. k.-k. 

 zool.-bot. gescU. Wicii., jahrg. 1S75, 1S76. bd. 

 25; Abli., p. 262-263, pi. S, fig. 12;. A si[igle 

 larva taken 4 Sept. 1SS2, at Cambridge. Mass., 

 on Betula alba, pupated 6 Sept., and appeared 

 as imago 24 May 18S3. This speeies is evi- 

 dently two-brooded, as Burgess took the spec- 

 imen from which Zeller described the species, 

 on 15 Aug., in Massachusetts. 



Pcuthhia dimiiUana SodoiVskv (Bull. Soc. 

 imper. natur. Mosc, 1S30, v. 2, p. 73, pi. 7). 

 Kaltenbach (Pflanzenfeinde, 1S72, p. 615) 

 brielly describes the larva of this species, 

 which feeds upon Bctiila a.nA on several other 

 plants. 



Piuttliina caprcana lliibn. (Saninil. curop. 

 schmett., Tort., iSoo.', fig. 250). Kaltenbach 

 (Pflanzenfeinde, 1872, p. 601) compiles a brief 

 description of the larva of this species, which 

 feeds upon Betula and Salix. 



Eccofsh ?var. of fermundana Clemens 

 (Proc. Acad. nat. sci. Phil., i860, p. 356-357). 

 Two specimens reared from larvae taken in 

 Cambridge, Mass., 17 June 18S3, on Betula 

 alba. Pupated about 30 June; one specimen 

 emerged as imago 10 July and tlie other 15 

 Julv 1S83. Clemens (/. c.) says of E. permun- 

 dana, "The larva binds together the terminal 

 leaves of Spiraea. It is pale green, touched 

 with yellowish at the junction of the seg. 

 ments; head and shield black. The larva 

 may be taken in the middle of June." 



Eccopsis zclleriana Fernald (Trans. Amcr. 

 entom. soc, 1882, v. 10, p. 29) is said by its 

 describer to feed upon "Leaves of Betula 

 alba var. fopulifoUa." 



I.ozotaenia museuhina Iliibn. (Samml 

 europ. schmett.. Tort.. iSoo.', fig. 98). Kal- 

 tenbach (Pflanzenfeinde, 1872, p. 601) quotes 

 Madame Lienig's description of the larva of 

 this species, and states that the larvae, ac- 

 cording to Fischer von Roslerstamm, feed 

 between leaves of Betula and Salix which 

 they have drawn together. Fernald (Trans. 

 Amer. entom. soc, 1882, v. 10, p. 13") says, 

 "Food. — In Europe, Agrimonia, Genhia, 

 Solidago, Achillea, Stachys, Scrophuhnia, 



Rubus, Betula, Salix. Galium, ^uereuf, 

 Pyrus and Tilia." 



Cacoecia cerasivoiaua Fitch (Ann. rept. 

 N. Y. state agric. soc, 1S56, p. 382, pi. 2, 

 fi^- 3)- Fernald (Trans. Amer. entom. soc, 

 18S2, V. 10, p. 11) writes of this species, 

 "Food. — Cherry, Betula alba var. populi- 

 folia." 



Cacoecia rosaceana Harris (Rept. ins. 

 injur, veget., 1841, p. 34S). Harris (o/. cit.. 

 p. 347-348, and op. cit., 1862, p. 4S0) de- 

 scribes the larv.ie of this species. Descrip- 

 tion and figure of larva and imago by 

 Packard (Guide study ins., 1S69, p. 335, pi. 

 8, fig. 12). De.scription of larva, with figure 

 of larva, pupa, and imago, by Saunders (Ann. 

 rept. Entom. soc. Ontario, 1S73, p. 14). 

 Packard (Papilio, Nov. -Dec. 1882, v. 2, p. 

 1S2-183) says that he has reared this species 

 from Betula alba var. populifolia. the moth 

 appearing, in Maine, on the first of Septem- 

 ber. Coquillett (Papilio^ May-June 1883, v. 

 3, p. loo-ioi) describes the larva carefully 

 and gives the names of twenty-four species 

 of food-plants. To his list may be added 

 Viburnum deiitatum and Philadelphus co- 

 ronarius. 



Teras ferrugana Schiffermiiller (Syst. 

 verz. d. schmett. d. Wiener gegend, 1776, p. 

 12S). Kaltenbach (Pflanzenfeinde, 1872, p. 

 600) says, on authority of Treitschke, that 

 this species feeds on Betula and more rarely 

 on Popiilus and Ahius; Fernald (Trans. 

 Amer. entom. soc, 1S82, v. 10, p. 9), on 

 authority of Heinemann. adds J^uercus, and 

 cites Walsh for authority that the species is 

 iuquilinous in galls of Cyuips salicis-strobiloi- 

 des. Packard (Papilio, Nov. -Dec. 1S82, v. 2, 

 p. 1S2) reared the species from a larva swept 

 from Pinus strobus, on which he thinks the 

 larvae feed, and gives a description of larva 

 and pupa. 



Teras tiiveaua Fabr. (Mant. insect., 17S7, 

 v. 2, p. 233). Kaltenbach (Pflanzenfeinde, 

 1872, p. 600) says, on authority of Anton 

 Sclimid, that the larva of this species lives 

 on Betula.
