270 COLEMAN T. ROBINSON. 



Posterior wings pale testaceous with brown irrorations centrally and 

 apically. 



Under surface of both pairs pale testaceous centrally, pale ochreous 

 with darker irrorations beyond. 



Expanse, % 20 mil., 9 21 — 3 mil. 



Habitat. — Mass. (Sanborn), Canada West (Pettit), Putnam Co., 

 N. Y. 



lu the produced apices, general form and coloration this species 

 closely resembles the European Teras contaminana (Dictyopteryx con- 

 tamiana. Stephens); however the fringes of contaminana. are invaria- 

 bly pale or white below the apices, and veins 7 and 8 arise separate 

 from each other and end in the costa, whilst in the present species they 

 arise on a common stalk, vein 7 ending in the external margin and 

 vein 8 in the costa, thus enclosing the apex, as in several other species 

 in this genus 



Tortrix caryae, n. s. (Plate iv, fig. 26.) 



Palpi long, extending beyond the head, brownish-ochreous. Head 

 and thorax brownish-ochreous. 



Anterior wings pale ochreous, uniformly and distinctly reticulated 

 with reddish-brown, with a prominent aggregation of scales of a simi- 

 lar color forming an irregular spot on the discal cross vein containing a 

 few blackish scales centrally. 



Posterior wings and fringes above and beneath pale testaceous.: 



Expanse, % 20 mil.; $ 22 mil. 



Habitat. — Illinois (J. C. Allen), Pennsylvania. (T. Bunte). 



The distinct spot at the end of the disc readily distinguishes this 

 species from all others of the genus. - 



Tortrix furcatana. (Plate iv, fig. 27 9 .) 



Dicheliafurcatana, Walker, Brit. Mus. List, part xxviii, p. 319 1803. 

 Thorax, head and palpi yellow, the apical joint of the latter tinged 

 with purple. 



Anterior wings bright yellow with numerous purple reticulations. 

 A line of bright purple scales beginning on the costa before the mid- 

 dle extends across the disc, and throwing out an oblique finer line to 

 internal margin at basal third, runs obliquely outwardly to internal an- 

 gle where it is extended into a spot. A similar line from costa at api- 

 cal third curves slightly outwardly to one third below and thence bold- 

 ly outwardly along external margin joining the spot at internal angle. 

 Fringes pale yellow.
