and the dorsal, patch with black. Hind wing slightly browner. 20mm. (Tortria), 

 Cenopis. ) 



This species is superficially very like Tortrix afflictana. 



Pennsylvania. New York (Fernald). 



7. S. caryae Robinson. Cream color, regularly reticulate with red-brown; not 

 forming oblique bands; hind wing lighter red-brown. 22 mm. 



June to September. Larva a general feeder. 



Maine; Illinois; Missouri; Alabama; Texas. New York: Lewis County. 



8. S. puritana Robinson. Bright ochre yellow, with an oblique even red-brown 

 fascia from costa before middle of inner margin; a spot on costa at two-thirds 

 and one at middle of outer margin. Fascia usually broken in the fold, especially 

 in the large western race, vocaridorsana Kearfott. Expanse typically 18 mm.; 

 the race vocardidorsana often over 25 mm. (Crcesia.) 



End of June; August. 



Quebec to Massachusetts and west. New York: Newport, North Creek, Wells, 

 Ithaca, Trenton Falls, Karner. 



9. S. sulfureana Clemens. Lemon yellow, more or less reticulate with orange; 

 the reticulation sometimes almost completely lost; base of costa, two rust brown 

 or black fasciae meeting at middle of inner margin at an angle of 60, the outer 

 one often angulate or forked, and often an irregular outer margin; hind wing 

 gray, or more or less shaded with orange, never pure white. Quite variable and 

 tending strongly to break up into strains. 1015 mm.; southern specimens (variety 

 belfrageana Zeller) averaging very small. (Epagoge.) 



Generally distributed, flying from June to September and the commonest of the 

 genus. Larva a general feeder. 



New York : Newport, Honeoye Falls, Buffalo, Portage, Ithaca, Big Indian Valley, 

 Liberty, Pearl River, New Windsor; East New York, Long Island. 



10. S. lycopodiana Kearfott. Markings similar to 8. sulfureana, heavier, the 

 red-brown often suffusing the whole outer half of the wing, and the bands cen- 

 tered with dark brown (as in some specimens of 8. sulfureana). Hind wing dark 

 mouse-gray. 12-13 mm. (Epagoge.) 



July and August. Larva on Lycopodium. 



This form is fairly constant; it may be an extreme strain of 8. sulfureana, but 

 is quite distinct from its ordinary forms. 



Ottawa, Ontario; Hampton, New Hampshire; Sebec Lake, Maine. 



11. S. tristriata Kearfott. Lemon yellow, all margins, and a band through cell 

 from base to outer margin, red-brown. Outer margin rarely yellow, merely reti- 

 culate with orange. Hind wing reddish gray. Fore wing rarely rusty orange, 

 with grayish streaks. 



September. Very rare. 

 Minnesota; New York; Maryland. 



S. bistriata Kearfott ranges north to North Carolina. It has two wide stripes, 

 and a weak one on the inner margin, and a light brown hind wing. 



* * Front in male flattened or slightly concave, close-scaled, and produced into a 

 point between the palpi; un,th the hair overhanging it all cut off even, forming 

 a regular horseshoe-shaped tuft, so as to make the front appear deeply con- 

 cave (fig. 240) ; female with the same structure less developed, much as in 

 some males of the typical group (Cenopis). 



12. S. saracana Kearfott. Very dull light ochre with a square light brown patch 

 a third way out on costa, and a band from outer third of costa to beyond middle 

 of inner margin, widening into patches at the ends and sometimes broken at the 

 middle, or broken into three spots. Hind wing browner. 18 mm. 



July. Larva on sassafras. 

 Essex C6unty, New Jersey.
