﻿THE 
  INSECTS 
  OF 
  NEW 
  JERSEY. 
  521 
  

  

  The 
  "Schoenobiinae 
  contain 
  species 
  allied 
  to 
  and 
  not 
  readily 
  separable 
  

   from 
  the 
  next 
  family 
  by 
  superficial 
  characters. 
  

  

  The 
  "Crambinae" 
  have 
  very 
  long, 
  straight 
  palpi, 
  narrow 
  primaries 
  

   which 
  are 
  sometimes 
  drawn 
  to 
  a 
  point, 
  and 
  broad 
  secondaries 
  without 
  

   markings. 
  The 
  primaries 
  are 
  usually 
  white 
  or 
  yellowish, 
  streaked 
  with 
  

   silvery 
  and 
  often 
  banded 
  with 
  golden 
  scales 
  forming 
  beautiful 
  combina- 
  

   tions. 
  When 
  at 
  rest 
  the 
  wings 
  are 
  wrapped 
  closely 
  around 
  the 
  body, 
  so 
  

   that 
  the 
  moths 
  look 
  like 
  little 
  cylinders 
  tapering 
  from 
  the 
  tip 
  of 
  the 
  

   palpi 
  to 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  squarely 
  truncate 
  wings. 
  

  

  The 
  larvae 
  live 
  in 
  silken 
  tubes 
  near 
  and 
  sometimes 
  below 
  the 
  surface 
  

   of 
  the 
  ground, 
  often 
  on 
  grass-roots, 
  and 
  a 
  few 
  of 
  them 
  become 
  destruc- 
  

   tively 
  injurious 
  on 
  cultivated 
  crops. 
  

  

  The 
  "Galleriinse" 
  or 
  bee-moths 
  are 
  curiously 
  streaked 
  creatures, 
  with 
  

   a 
  notch 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  fOre-wing 
  in 
  the 
  typical 
  species, 
  the 
  costa 
  very 
  

   decidedly 
  arched. 
  The 
  larva 
  of 
  the 
  true 
  bee 
  moth 
  lives 
  on 
  wax 
  in 
  bee 
  

   hives, 
  mining 
  a 
  gallery 
  lined 
  with 
  silk 
  through 
  the 
  centre 
  of 
  the 
  combs 
  

   out 
  of 
  sight 
  of 
  the 
  bees. 
  There 
  is 
  not 
  much 
  chance 
  for 
  them, 
  however, 
  

   in 
  modem 
  hives 
  carefully 
  looked 
  after. 
  

  

  The 
  "Epipaschiinse" 
  are 
  broad-winged 
  gray 
  moths 
  with 
  black 
  and 
  some- 
  

   times 
  brown 
  markings, 
  and 
  habits 
  similar 
  to 
  the 
  next 
  series. 
  

  

  The 
  "Phycitinae" 
  are 
  ashen 
  gray 
  slight 
  species, 
  with 
  narrow 
  primaries 
  

   and 
  broad 
  immaculate 
  secondaries. 
  The 
  vestiture 
  has 
  usually 
  a 
  silken 
  

   or 
  glistening 
  appearance, 
  and 
  sometimes 
  the 
  contrasts 
  in 
  white 
  and 
  black 
  

   are 
  quite 
  strong. 
  The 
  larvae 
  differ 
  greatly 
  in 
  habit, 
  some 
  are 
  borers 
  in 
  

   stalks 
  or 
  stems 
  of 
  plants, 
  some 
  live 
  in 
  seeds 
  or 
  flower 
  heads, 
  quite 
  a 
  

   number 
  of 
  them 
  are 
  leaf-crumplers 
  and 
  one 
  species 
  is 
  predatory, 
  feeding 
  

   on 
  scale 
  insects. 
  In 
  almost 
  all 
  cases 
  they 
  live 
  in 
  silken 
  tubes. 
  A 
  few 
  

   are 
  of 
  economic 
  importance.
