  Family 
  TORTRICID^. 
  

  

  The 
  Tortricids 
  or 
  "bell-moths" 
  are 
  usally 
  small 
  or 
  moderate 
  sized 
  

   species 
  with 
  broad, 
  squarely-terminated 
  primaries, 
  the 
  costa 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  

   usually 
  strongly 
  arched 
  toward 
  the 
  base. 
  The 
  moths 
  are 
  variegated 
  in 
  

   color, 
  but 
  usually 
  brown 
  gray 
  or 
  golden 
  rather 
  than 
  of 
  brighter 
  hues. 
  

   The 
  secondaries 
  are 
  usually 
  of 
  the 
  body 
  color 
  and 
  without 
  markings. 
  

  

  Some 
  of 
  the 
  larvae 
  are 
  leaf-rollers, 
  but 
  the 
  majority 
  are 
  stem 
  and 
  

   root 
  borers, 
  living 
  and 
  feeding 
  in 
  concealment, 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  sheltered 
  

   from 
  either 
  contact 
  or 
  stomach 
  poisons, 
  and 
  that 
  makes 
  them 
  difficult 
  

   to 
  deal 
  with. 
  

  

  Some 
  of 
  them 
  feed 
  in 
  seeds 
  and 
  growing 
  fruits, 
  the 
  most 
  notable 
  

   example 
  being 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  Codling 
  Moth, 
  which 
  infests 
  apple 
  and 
  pear, 
  

   while 
  other 
  species 
  infest 
  grape 
  and 
  a 
  variety 
  of 
  small 
  fruits. 
  

  

  Sub-family 
  OlEThreutin^. 
  

  

  RHYACIONIA 
  Hbn. 
  (RETINIA 
  Gn.) 
  

  

  All 
  the 
  species 
  of 
  this 
  genus 
  feed 
  in 
  the 
  shoots 
  or 
  bark 
  of 
  pine, 
  but 
  

   seldom 
  in 
  sufficient 
  numbers 
  to 
  be 
  troublesome. 
  The 
  larvae 
  all 
  winter 
  

   in 
  the 
  shoots 
  or 
  in 
  the 
  exuding 
  resin 
  masses 
  and 
  are 
  beyond 
  reach 
  of 
  

   insecticides. 
  Remedial 
  measures 
  therefore, 
  when 
  such 
  are 
  indicated, 
  

   are 
  mechanical 
  and 
  mean 
  hand-picking, 
  pruning 
  or 
  similar 
  methods, 
  the 
  

   cuttings 
  being 
  burnt 
  in 
  all 
  cases.
