Mr. Westwood remarked, that it was difficult to decide to what 

 species they belonged, and that as yet he was not aware of any 

 Tortricideous larva being known to bore into wood. 



Mr. E. Doubleday remarked, that the habits of this species 

 were nearly the same as those of the Tortrix of the vine, so

 cocoon under the bark of the vine, and comes forth in the spring 

 destroying the young shoots.
