112 William T. M. Forbes 



Larva with yellow line across the front of the thorax and a larger red patch 

 than in H. shurtleffi. 



Atlantic States. The type is lost, and no other specimens are known to exist. 



14. HETEBOGENEA Knoch 



Similar to Tortricidia, but with upper spurs of hind tibia lost, and palpi 

 weaker, hardly reaching the middle of the front. 



1. H. shurtleffi Packard. Base of wings rusty, outer part brown, obscuring the 

 markings, which are brown, and much as in C. y-inrersa. 12 mm. (H 47:20.) 



This species is apparently rare. The larva is similar to the Tortricidias, but 

 has a transverse yellow line across the mesothorax, and only a small red dot in 

 the middle of the dorsum. 



Massachusetts to New Jersey. New York: Vicinity of New York City (Eliot 

 and Angus). 



15. LITHACODES Packard 



Similar to Packardia; palpi upturned beyond vertex, or, when obliquely held, 

 projecting strongly, and reaching level of antenna?. Larva similar to that of 

 Cocklidion, but with a mixture of granules and spinules on the skin. 



1. L. fasciola Herrich-Schseffer. Ochre yellow with a white, irregular, trans- 

 verse, median band, usually followed by a deep brown shade ; rarely all brown 

 except the terminal area, and with the white bands stronglv contrasting. 20 mm. 

 (H 47:2). 



Larva with a yellow subdorsal line, but no dark one, and no red markings. 

 Moth in July. 



Common generally; Quebec to Texas. New York: Buffalo, Geneva, Ithaca, 

 Schenectady, and the southern Catskills. 



16. PACK AUDI A Grote and Robinson 



{Cyrtosia Packard, not Perris) 



Slender moths with scaly vestiture. Antennas simple; palpi upturned beyond 

 middle of front, acute; tibia? with all spurs. Fore wing (fig. 71) with arched 

 costa, bluntly rounded apex and outer margin, R 5 arising from end of cell nearly 

 midway between R s+i and M t , R 2 arising from cell. 



Larva with depressed spaces small; end of body produced in a pointed tail; 

 skin granular and not spinose nor crested at any stage; no dorsal markings. First 

 stage with tubercles i and ii represented by simple, short spines. 



1. P. elegans Packard. Typically dark bronze-gray (in var. fusca Packard 

 light buff) with a white band across end of wing to just above anal angle, and 

 two lesser pale bands to middle of inner margin; ground more or less dark-shaded. 

 (The two black dots at the anal angle replaced by a vague dark shade in var. 



fusca.) 20 mm. (H 47:16.) 



Moth in June and July. Larva translucent yellowish green, with a broken, 

 yellow subdorsal line and scattered patches of whitish green pigment. It feeds 

 on the thin, shaded leaves of trees in dense woods. 



Southern Quebec to northern New York. New York : Goat Island, Ithaca, 

 Newburgh, New Windsor, Katonah, New York City, Long Island. 



2. P. geminata Packard. Light straw or cream color, shaded with brown, except 

 at base and beyond the outer line, which runs as in P. elegans. Antemedial line 

 oblique and far out. Hind wings nearly concolorous. 25 mm. (H 47:1.) 



The moth occurs in June. The caterpillar is densely pigmented, whitish green 

 with a nearly white, subdorsal line. It is found on very small shrubs only a few 

 inches high, especially on wild cherry. The female moth, unlike most Eucleids, 

 will often wait a few days for fertilization before flying.
