LEPIDOPTERA OF NEW YORK AND NEIGHBORING STATES 407 



toward custa; custal half of pustmedial gray line almost longitudinal, the ground 

 chocolate brown above it; lower half expanding into a broad diamond-shaped patch, 

 enclosing a blackish marginal spot, and leaving only a narrow clay-colored mar- 

 ginal line beyond it. Fringe deep ochre, contrasting. Hind wing blackish, (corni- 

 foliana Murtfeldt). 



May. Larva a leaf-folder on rose. 



Hazelton. Pennsylvania ; Missouri. 



11. A. apicana Walker. Deep yellow-brown, becoming chocolate brown on basal 

 third and toward middle of costa. Thorax brown, head paler. Base of costal edge 

 .f fore wing gray; a broad lead-gray fascia just before middle, of almost even 

 \vidth and moderately angled at middle of wing; a lead-gray line from just beyond 

 middle of costa, obliquely out two-thirds of the way to the outer margin, then 

 sharply angulate and straight, almost paralleling the outer margin, to the inner 

 margin; the angulation preceded by a few black bars. Costal edge outwardly 

 blackish, with double white striae. A black terminal line along middle of outer 

 margin. Fringe dark gray. Hind wing mouse gray with pale fringe. 10 mm. 



May and June. Larva on raspberry. 



Nova Scotia and Pennsylvania to British Columbia. New York: Ithaca, McLean, 

 Trenton Falls, Wellsville. 



12. A. divisana Walker. Base deep red-brown, shading into violet-gray toward 

 costa, and followed by a broad violet-gray fascia. . Fore wing outwardly shading 

 from light ochre to dull orange on costa, the speculum at most a slightly duller 

 pale brown or cream area. Costa toward apex finely striate with gray, with a 

 couple of white striae close to apex. Fringe pale brown. Hind wing pale grayish 

 brown. 12-15 mm. 



May. Larva a leaf-roller on oak and sycamore. 



Generally distributed. New York: Crosby (Yates County), Trenton Falls. 



13. A. fragariae Walsh and Riley. Ground tawny brown, cut into oval patches 

 by bands of powdery violet-gray, which are narrowly edged with white. Base, 

 as far as antemedial line, brown; the line fine, even, white; preceded by a blackish 

 shade; strongly outwardly oblique from just below costa to A; then abruptly 

 curving and meeting inner margin at right angles, beyond middle. Outer part of 

 the dull violet-gray with a long brown streak from middle of costa tapering to a 

 point just before the concavity in the outer margin; and with an oval longitudinal 

 patch below it, more or less defined with white, the two often fusing into an 

 irregular patch. Fringe light brown; outer part of costa obliquely striate. 9 mm. 

 (amblygona Zeller). 



July. Larva on blackberry. 



District of Columbia to Louisiana and Colorado. 



14. A. floridana Zeller. Deep reddish or chocolate brown; the basal patch and 

 antemedial line as in A. frayaria'; costa at base and band beyond the antemedial 

 line blue-gray, somewhat iridescent; outer part of wing toward costa chocolate 

 to tawny brown, finely striate with double white lines; middle of wing shading 

 into blackish; dorsal part lighter blue-gray or blackish. Fringe pale brown with 

 darker tips. Hind wing mouse gray. 10 mm. 



Larva on bearberry, and doubtless on other swamp Ericaceae. 



I have seen specimens typical of this form from New Jersey, Illinois, Missouri, 

 and Iowa; and it is doubtless wide spread, but generally confused with .4. comptana 

 or some undescribed species. It is injurious, at least in Iowa. 



15. A. comptana Froelich. Dull umber brown, the basal patch as in A. fragarice, 

 but not as clearly defined with white. Ground outwardly lighter fuscous, without 

 blue iridescence, the markings dull brown, without any yellow tint. Besides the 

 oblique costal bands separated by paired pale striae, as in A. floridana, there is a 

 rather comma-shaped dark patch on the middle of the outer part of the wing, and 

 a dark spot at the anal angle, the outlines of the two forming a well-marked double
