FAM. TORTRICID.E aS 



Anacrusis. Zeller, Hor. Soc. Ent. Ross. Vol. i3, p. 85(1877). — Type : C. atrosparsana, Zeller. 

 Cryptoptila. Meyrick, Proc. Linti. Soc. N. S. VVales, Vol. 6, p. 481 (1881). — Type : C. australana, 



Lewin. 

 Archips. Walsingham, Proc. Zool. Soc. Loiid., p. i33 (1897). — Type : C. piceana. Linnaeus. 



Cliaracteps. — Antennae in (f ciliated. Palj^i rather short, ascending, with appressed scales, 

 terminal joint short. Thorax without crest. Forewings in (^ with or without costal fold, 3 from angle, 

 7 separate, to termen. Ilindwings without basal pecten, 3 and 4 connate, 5 approximated to 4 at base, 

 6 and 7 approximated towards basc. 



Remarlcs. — Tiie distinction between this geaus and Tortrix was formerly based on the presence 

 or absence of a costal fold in the (^ ; the line so drawn is not a natural one, and moreover cannot be 

 drawn with precision, as the transition is effected by imperceptible gradations ; the two genera are now 

 distinguished by the palpi, and form natural aggregates. Of tliese Tortrix is the earUer, and Cacacia a 

 development from it. 



Geographical distribution of species. — Generally distributed throughout the Northern 

 iiemisphere; few species occur in the Southern, in .Vfrica only one. none in New Zealand. These facts 

 point to a comparatively recent origin, prohably in North America. 



Larva feeding in rolled or spun leaves. 



Foodplants always trees or shrubs, often very indiscriminate, but especially Cupuliferae, Bttulaceae, 

 Rosaceae, etc. ; this is cliaracteristic of the North American genera of contemporaneous origin (compare 

 Lithocolletis and Ornix).
