LEPIDOPTERA OF NEW YORK AND NEIGHBORING STATES 655 



Key to the genera 



Fore wing deeply notched,, toothed at middle and anal angle....l. Calledapteryx. 

 Fore wing with even outer margin 2. Callizzia. 



1. CALLEDAPTERYX Grote 



Fore wing with arched costa, sharply curved down at the apex; outer margin 

 toothed below M 3 , deeply excavate above, and slightly below the tooth; anal 

 angle broadly toothed, and inner margin sinuate. Hind wing with very strong 

 teeth on R and M 3 , and lesser ones on the other veins, especially Mj. Fore wing 

 with R, and R 2 well separated, arising from cell; Rg and R< long-stalked from 

 well before end of cell; and R s , M t , and M 2 from the apex. Body slender, antennae 

 simple, a little prismatic, palpi small; hind tibiae swollen in male. The moth 

 rests with the fore wings held somewhat rooflike, covering the hind wings, 

 which are wrapped about the body. 



1. C. dryopterata Grote. Light brick red to dull brown; ground narrowly 

 blackish along the margin; two roughly parallel dark lines, with a brown shade 

 between them at inner margin; a dark brown line just within the outer margin 

 on upper half of wing. Hind wing similar, the two lines often distinct only at 

 the inner margin. 18 mm. (H 42:17.) 



May to early June; August. Caterpillar on Viburnum prunifoUum (but not 

 d-entatum or Lenta.ffo) . Head light brown, heavily spotted with black; body 

 greenish white, more or less spotted with black, the black tending to form a 

 dorsal line and a subdorsal band, especially toward the rear. Pupa in a slight 

 web at surface of ground. 



St. Johns, Quebec, to Alabama ; west to Manitoba. New York : West Farms, 

 (Angus); Corona,, Long Island. 



CALLIZZIA Packard 



Head broader than in Calledapteryx; fore wing (fig. 409) with arched costa, 

 outer margin only slightly bent at middle. Inner margin and hind wing not 

 quite so irregular as in Calledapteryx. 



This genus is hardly distinct from Epiplema. 



1. C. amorata Packard. Ash gray, dusted and shaded in two shades; two fine 

 dark brown lines, joining each other above inner margin, or connected by a bar; 

 a dark patch above middle of outer margin, defined by an angulate dark line; 

 hind wing with inner line almost evenly curved, and outer irregular, with a dark 

 gray shade on disc between them. 18-22 mm. 



End of June and July Caterpillar apparently concealing itself at the foot 

 of the plant when not feeding; on Lonicera dioica. Head whitish with two brown 

 bands, tubercles a little raised; body dull brown with black lateral band, pale 

 subventrally.
