reddish-brown.” This description of the larva suits the larvæ of a great 
many species. 
O. prunivorella. NV. sp. 
Dark steel gray, almost brown. Labial palpi white, each joint tipped 
externally with dark steel gray. Antennae of the general hue, faintly 
annulate with whitish. Thorax and primaries dark steel gray, the primaries 
with about nine faint whitish costal streaks, the first near the base and the: 
last at the apex, becoming gradually longer from the base to the apex, all 
faintly dark margined internally, the last three or four nearly perpendicular 
to the costal margin, crossing the wing and uniting near the dorsal margin, 
where they are very narrow and indistinct. A small black apical spot, 
behind which are three dark hinder marginal lines in the ciliae, the first: 
of which is at their base, and‘ becomes furcate in the dorsal ciliae, the 
second is at the middle, and the third at the apex of the ciliae. A/ ex., 
34 inch. Kentucky. 
The larva mines the leaves of Apple trees (AZa/us) and Wild Cherry 
trees (Prunus serotina), making a large tentiform mine on the under 
surface, which can only be distinguished from that of Lithocolletis crataegella 
Clem., in the same leaves, by its larger size. It is at first a short crooked’ 
line, which ends in the large tentiform mine. It leaves the mine to pupate- 
under the edge of the leaf turned down. 
Lithocolletis crataegella, Tischeria malifoliella, ‘Aspadisca Splendoriferella,. 
and so many larvae of larger moths feed indifferently on the leaves of 
Crataegus, Prunus and Malus, that I at first, when I bred this insect from — 
Apple and Wild Cherry leaves, was inclined to suppose it to be ©. 
cralaegifoliella Clem., but a slight inspection shows it to be different, and. 
I have never found it feeding on Haw leaves. Among other things which 
distinguish it from O. crafaegifoliella and O. inusitatumella the posterior 
margin of the wings is not whitish, and it has three hinder marginal lines. 
in the ciliae. It may be found in all stages through the summer and fall. 
PERSONAL.—We are pleased to learn that Mr. Aug. R. Grote, one of 
our esteemed contributors, well known for his many valuable papers on 
Lepidoptera, has removed from Demopolis, Alabama, to Buffalo, N. Y., 
where he has undertaken active work in connection with the Society of 
Natural Science.
