Nicholson), Pennsylvania. 



5. C. peritana Clemens. Dull ochreous brown, sometimes with a slight greenish

 out to before anal angle, usually complete; and a small costal patch at four-fifths, 

 somewhat extended down by dark striations. Female not always distinguishable 

 from C. virescana,. 8 mm. (Smicrotes Clemens). 



May and June; September. Generally confused in collections with C. virescana. 

 Probably general. New York: NewcomB, Otto, Ithaca, Ramapo, West Farms. 



6. C. virescana Clemens. Similar; the male costal fold well marked, and con- 

 trasting brown; the costal edge more or less brown in female, and not striated. 

 Ground color more constantly olivaceous; oblique fascia usually reduced to a costal 

 patch in male, and rather diffuse in female. 13-17 mm. (Archips, Caccec-ia, 

 Smicrotes) . 



The larva of a related California species eats mealy bugs ( Pseudacoccus ) . 



Common and generally distributed, a variety occurring in British Columbia.

 Ithaca. 



41. HARMOLOGA Meyrick 

 (Tortrix, in part) 



Vestiture rough; the thorax with a low posterior tuft; pulpus upturned to mid- 

 dle of front, but rough above as well as below; clavate, with short third joint. 

 No costal fold; wings loosely scaled, but without the definite raised scaling of 

 Argyrotoxa and Peronea. 



This genus was proposed by Meyrick to include a primitive group from New 

 Zealand. Our species is aberrant in having M 3 and CUj connate or stalked, and com- 

 bines characters of Tortrix, Eulia, and Archips. 



1. H. fumiferana Clemens. Mottled with clay-color and fuscous or reddisli 

 brown, the western race strongly reddish; reticulate with black. Hind wing gray. 

 20-25 mm. (nigridia Robinson.)

Generally distributed in the spruce zone; south to Massachusetts and northern 

 New York in the East. New York: Common in the Adirondack and Allegany 

 Highlands.
