  No 
  systematic 
  work 
  has 
  been 
  done 
  in 
  this 
  genus, 
  hence 
  it 
  is 
  impossible 
  

   to 
  present 
  a 
  comprehensive 
  list. 
  It 
  is 
  certain 
  that 
  all 
  species 
  recorded 
  

   from 
  the 
  eastern 
  States 
  will 
  also 
  occur 
  in 
  New 
  Jersey, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  many 
  

   more 
  not 
  yet 
  discovered. 
  Careful 
  breeding 
  through 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  years 
  

   will 
  lengthen 
  our 
  list 
  to 
  over 
  one 
  hundred. 
  As 
  many 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  in 
  

   the 
  adult 
  stage 
  are 
  indistinguishable 
  from 
  each 
  other, 
  the 
  only 
  reliable 
  

   way 
  to 
  identify 
  them 
  is 
  by 
  breeding. 
  

  

  The 
  larvae 
  are 
  all 
  case-makers, 
  the 
  cases 
  distinctive 
  for 
  each 
  species. 
  

   In 
  shape 
  they 
  range 
  from 
  slender 
  flattened 
  cylinders 
  to 
  one 
  made 
  of 
  

   clusters 
  of 
  flowers. 
  Almost 
  every 
  plant 
  supports 
  one 
  or 
  more 
  species,, 
  

   many 
  are 
  confined 
  to 
  grasses 
  and 
  others 
  live 
  in 
  seed-heads.
