490 WILLIAM T. M. FORBES 



1. Ground dark brown, with two darker fasciae 6. juglandana. 



1. With complex clean-cut markings, including a broad oblique fascia. 

 2. Pale triangular area resting on outer margin merely striate . . 4. gloverana. 

 2. This pale area containing a large dark patch, or broken up. 



3. Dark markings reddish only 3. pinatulana. 



3. Dark markings largely deep purple-gray 2. velutinana. 



I. Hind wing with R and M a stalked (Eulia). 



1. E. ministrana Linnaeus. Light yellow, dusted with gray so as to appear 

 olivaceous; with vague shaded markings of orange, red, and brown, the outer 

 margin shading into red, the most prominent brown mark a patch on middle of 

 inner margin. Hind wing gray. 20 25 mm. (ferrugana Hiibner). 



June. Larva green with brown head; in a folded leaf on many kinds of trees 

 and shrubs; wintering full-grown and pupating in the spring. 



Generally distributed south to New York; Europe. New York: Summit and 

 North Twin Brook (Mt. Marcy), North Elba, vicinity of Indian Pass (North Elba 

 Township), Ithaca, Big Indian Valley. 



Variety, subfasciana Stephens, which I have not seen from America, is more 

 evenly colored, darker brown, and frosted with whitish. 



II. Hind wing with R and M x separate (Argyrotsenia Stephens). 



2. E. velutinana Walker. Ground nearly white, striate with gray and shaded 

 with pale reddish; markings red-brown, striate with black, and shaded with purple- 

 gray. A fascia from middle of costa widening to inner margin and covering the 

 outer third of it; a blackish triangle beyond it on costa and a more or less dis- 

 tinct oval gray patch in the pale apical area left by the two markings. Base 

 varying from the ground color to dark gray; when dark, defined by a well-marked 

 excurved antemedial line; the inner margin on the basal half often shaded with 

 gray. 12-16 mm. (triferana Walker, lutosana, incertana Clemens). 



April to October. Two or three broods, with maxima in May, July, and late 

 August. Larva a leaf roller on almost any plants except conifers; and even 

 reported from balsam fir. 



Common and generally distributed. New York: Newark, Lewiston, Honeoye 

 Falls, Ithaca, Delmar, Albany, New Windsor, Florida. 



There is a closely related, but somewhat larger undescribed species without any 

 brown scaling. It occurs at Ithaca in May. 



3. E. pinatubana Kearfott. Similar in markings; but with the dark marks light 

 tawny brown or Indian red; hardly ever with gray or purplish scaling. Outer 

 costal patch connected with the outer oval spot, so as to divide the ground into 

 an oblique postmedial fascia, and a terminal one narrowing toward inner margin. 

 10-15 mm. (politana auct. ). 



Seasons as in E. velutinana. Larva on pines, making a cylindrical tube out of 

 a couple of clusters of needles and feeding on the tips of the same needles, deserting 

 the tube and forming another when the needles are eaten down to about an inch 

 long. Pupation in the last tube or in another formed for the purpose, but with- 

 out a cocoon; the pupa easily falling out. 



General in distribution. New York: Peru, Portage, Ithaca. Probably common 

 all over the State but overlooked. 



Politana Haworth has the ground dull red-brown, and the fascia breaking into 

 a small costal and a large quadrate dorsal patch; and the larva is a general feeder 

 on deciduous plants. It is probably not American. 



4. E. gloverana Walsingham. Similar to E. velutinana, larger, wing rather more 

 acute. Ground whitish, shaded with pale red, especially toward costa, and lightly 

 and almost evenly striate with gray. Fascia light brown, even in width; costal
