LEPIDOPTERA OF NEW YORK AND NEIGHBORING STATES 465 



Canada to North Carolina, west to the Pacific. New York: Rock City (Cattar- 

 augus Country; aberration with pale antemedial fascia), Trenton Falls. 



10. C. concinnana Clemens. Pattern typical. Median band interrupted below 

 lower tooth and, rarely, above it also; its dorsal portion normally attached to the 

 anal patch, forming an M-shaped spot. Ground light gray -brown, somewhat shaded 

 with blue-gray and, heavily mottled with luteous, in little groups of scales, the 

 markings rather broadly edged with the same luteous; markings shading from 

 fuscous brown to blackish, not contrasting, except usually for the blackish upper 

 end of the median fascia. Palpi shaded on outer side with fuscous. Fringes of 

 fore wing generally darker than in C. permundana. 14 mm. 



In variety terminana McDunnough (doxcana Kearfott ms.), the fore wing is 

 blackish with contrasting pale margin. 



June and July. Larva on blackberry. 



New Jersey to Ohio. New York: Ithaca, West Farms (Angus). 



C. mediopartita Heinrich is a similar species described from Virginia. It 

 appears to lack the dark shade at the middle of the costa. 



11. C. foedana Clemens has not been certainly recognized. It is purple-gray, 

 marked with dark brown, like C. permundana,, and is even smoother looking, not 

 even showing the usual darkening at the middle of the costa, but has the pattern 

 and size of C. concinnana. The costal spots are blackish, and the subterminal 

 fascia is usually crossed with fine black lines. The fringe is dark, with a blackish 

 line. 18 mm. 



August. Something like this in the National Museum has been bred from alder 

 in Virginia. 



Toronto, Ontario?, Manitoba?, western Pennsylvania. 



11%. C. brunneopurpurata Heinrich. Ground metallic leaden purple; markings 

 rich dark brown, narrowly edged with white; pattern as in C. permundana. 

 Antenna with blackish spots on upper side of first four or five joints. 14 mm. 



August. Larvae on alder in July; tying the young terminal leaves. Pale green- 

 ish yellow, with segments transversely banded with pink. Head and cervical 

 shield pale yellow. 



Virginia. 



12. C. atrodentana Fernald. Ground pale clay-color, somewhat striate with 

 black. Markings light gray-brown, with a slight olivaceous tint; basal third 

 heavily shaded, striate, and mottled with blackish on the clay-colored ground. 

 Median band normal, but very narrow, and olive at the inner margin; the olive 

 part sometimes a separate spot, its upper half, and especially the two teeth which 

 are long and narrow, suffused with black, contrasting. 



13. C. zelleriana Fernald. Ground dark shining gray, heavily mottled with red- 

 brown, of the same shade as the markings; basal area strongly mottled with the 

 ground color. Markings orange-brown with crimson iridescence, the base strongly 

 mottled, the outer markings rather even. Median fascia with inner side more 

 irregular than usual, teeth blunt and roundca off, the lower one usually scaled 

 with black. Outer markings extensive and tending to join, cutting the ground 

 into irregular streaks and spots, but sometimes normal. 16 mm. 



July and August. Larva crumpling leaves of white birch, in May (Kearfott). 

 East Eiver, Connecticut; New Jersey; Pennsylvania. New York: Portage. 



14. C. corylana Fernald. Light clay-color, with a slight greenish tint, dusted 

 and shaded with light gray, obliterating the basal markings and most of the 

 median fascia, the gray shade running from the base to the middle of the costa, 

 leaving the base of the costa and the middle of the wing light. Dorsal part of 

 median fascia, and anal and subterminal patches evener, pale dull gray, not at all 

 contrasting, but finely defined with pale; last three costal dots dark, the apical 

 one contrasting. Fringe with strong pinkish-to-rusty iridescence in basal half. 

 15 mm. 



June to July. Larva on hazel.
