page 203, (1834), described the moth under the name Penthina lus- 

 cana, and referred to the account of the food plant given in the Vienna 

 Verzeichniss, ah'eady mentioned. 



Schmidberger, in KoUar's Insects Injurious to Fruit Trees, page 

 234, (1840), describes this insect under the name of Tortrix (Penthi- 

 na) ocella7ia, but gives no description of the larva. He states that 

 the eggs are laid singly on the fruit buds or leaf buds, during the 

 month of June [in Austria], and that they do not hatch till the fol- 

 lowing spring, when the larva reaches its full size in four or five 

 weeks, then pupates and emerges in May as a moth. 



Gu^nee, in his Index Methodicus, page 20, (1845), in a foot-note, 

 says the larva is brownish with a black head and shield, and that it 

 Jives in the month of May in the topmost leaves of Alnus, twisted 

 and drawn together. 



Zeller, in Oken's Isis for 1846, describes the full grown larva very 

 briefly, and states that it feeds on oak and alder. 



Herrich-Shaffer, in his Schmetterlinge von Europa, Volume 4, page 

 234, (1849), says that it is on the wing at the end of June, and that 

 the large light examples are from fruit trees, and that the smaller 

 darker ones are from larch, the larvae being between the leaves, 



Staintou, in his Manual of the British Butterflies and Moths, Vol- 

 ume 2, page 219, (1859), describes the moth under the name of 

 liedya ocellana, and says the larva is brown with the head and sec- 

 ond segment black, and feeds "on various trees," *' very common in 

 the South of England but scarcer towards the North." Wilkinson, 

 in his British Tortrices, published in the same year, describes it 

 under the same name, and says the imago emerges in June and July, 

 frequenting hedges and woods around London ; and that the larva 

 feeds on hornbeam, alder, mountain ash and probably on whitethorn. 

 He repeats the description of the larva given by Gu6ne(j. 



Lederev, in 1859, in his Revision of the European Tortricids, page 

 367, established the generic name Tmetocera for this species, because 

 of the notch in the upper side of the base of the antennae of the male. 



Heinemann, in his Tortriciua of Germany and Switzerland, page 

 206, (1883), after describing the moth, states that the larvae occur 

 in May and June, on fruit and other deciduous trees, and the variety 

 laricana, between the needles of larch. 



Zeller, in the Entomologische Zeitung for 1873, page 129, describes 

 his variety laricana, but gives nothing new of the larva of Tmetocera 

 ocellana or of the larva of this variety.
