Cenopis reticulatana Clem. 



This rose leaf roller is abroad in New York State in July and may be 

 considered a form capable of doing more or less damage from year to year, 

 and should it invade greenhouses is likel\- to be rather injurious. It has 

 been recorded by Dr Smith from New jersey localities, where it is stated 

 to feed on rose, geranium, oak, ])ersimmon, pear and maple. Dr Dyar lists 

 it from the Atlantic States. The little moth has been described by Dr 

 Robinson as follows : 



Palpi red, verv long, proboscidiform. Head and thorax \ellow above. 

 Anterior wings yelU)w finely reticulated with orange. Costa at base tinged 

 with purple. " Central fascia purple, commencing in a spot on costa before 

 the mitidle and ending in the apex of a large triangular spot of the same 

 hue on internal margin. The large purple costal spot throws out a line 

 which is forked just below it, one branch running obliquely inwardly to the 

 triangular spot on internal margin, the other outwardly to before internal 

 angle. 



Posterior wings and fringes very pale yellow. Under surface of both 

 pairs pale straw color, the anterior pair slightly reflecting the hue and 

 markings of the upper surface. 



The wing expanse has been given b\' Dr Robinson as from 5 s to ^^ 

 inch in the male, and in thi- female from aljout 04 to /^g inch. This spe- 

 cies he states varies greatly, the reticulations sometimes being obsolete 

 anil the ordinar\- markings jiartialh' so.
