brown; each of the fore-wings has two oblique, narrow 
bands of darker brown, and in the male there are scattered 
a few scales of straw-yellow color, especially along the 
borders of the oblique bands. 
THE APPLE LOPHODERUS. 
(Lophoderus triferana Walk.). 
This leaf-roller occurs on the apple, rose and on many 
other plants; it is very much smaller than juglandana. The 
fore-wings are pale reddish-brown within the central fascia; 
the internal margin is broadly covered at base with black- 
ish-brown scales forming a rather promineut irregular spot- 
The central fascia is broad, distinctly dark-brown, some- 
times reddish-brown. The sub-apical costal spot is dark- 
brown, and separatec from the central fascia by a reddish- 
brown shade. The remaining outer portion of the wing is 
pale ochreous except a testaceous-brown spot above the 
anal angle; fringes dark ochreous. 
THE RUSTY-BROWN TORTRIX. 
(Platynota flavedana Clem.). 
This insect feeds in its larval state upon the strawberry, 
raspberry, red and white clover. It is not very common, 
but is found from time to time in fairly large numbers, 
showing that it can under favorable conditions become in- 
jurious. The full grown caterpillar is about half an inch 
long, of a dark yellowish-green color, with’ the piliferous 
tubercles a little lighter and faintly polished. Head and 
thoracic-plate are reddish, first joint and anterior margin of 
the thoracic segment white; the anal-plate is concolorous 
with the body, sometimes a little lighter. There are three 
dusky spots near the anterior margin of the anal-plate; the
