Eatzeburg, not Saxesen, is really the author of this name, and it 

 should be credited to him as is done by Staudinger and Eebel. The 

 species is an introduced one in this country, but is apparently well 

 distributed through the spruce regions of the Northern States and 

 Canada. The larva is an external feeder on the leaves.
