LACOSOMA G-rote. 



L. chiridota Grt. Recorded from the vicinity of New York by Beutenmuller ; 

 the caterpillar feeding on oak in a case open at both ends ; should occur 

 in New Jeisey without doubt. 



CINCINNUS Blanch. = PEROPHOEA Harr. 



C. melsheimeri Harr. Generally distributed, not common. Newark, VI, 16 

 (Sb), near New York (Bt), Hopatcong (Pm), Ocean County. The larva 

 feeds in a flattened case open at both ends, on oak and winterberry (Bt) ; 

 the moth occurs in June and July, and has been usually beaten from the 

 trees. 



Super-family TORTRICOIDEA. 



"The Tortricids are generally small moths, but as a rule they are larger than 

 the Tineids. They have broad front wings which usually end squarely. The 

 costa of the front wing curves forward strongly near the base of the wing ; 

 when at rest the broad front wings fold above the body like a roof. The moths 

 are variegated in color, but are usually brown, gray or golden rather than of 

 brighter hues. As a rule the hind wings are of the color of the body and with- 

 out markings " (Comstock). 



They are sometimes called " bell-moths " because some species with abruptly 

 widened wings greatly resemble in outline a bell. 



The larvae are largely leaf-rollers, living and feeding in concealment, more or 

 less sheltered from either contact or stomach poisons, and this makes them 

 difficult to deal with. 



Some of them feed in fruits, and an example of this is found in the codling 

 moth, which infests the apple. 



Family TORTRICIDiE.

 lidorsana Clem., at Jamesburg, V, 5 : larva feeds on willow.
