Lepidoptera of New York and Neighboring States 293 



Early June. Caterpillar whitish; head, cervical shield, and tubercles purplish 

 brown; body with fine purple addorsal and broader subdorsal lines. A leaf-roller 

 on oak in May. These three species are practically indistinguishable without 

 breeding. 



New Jersey; Kentucky. 



7. T. palliderosacella Chambers. Similar to the last three species but with more 

 purplish tint. Head hardly powdery, and pale in front. Fore wing with ground 

 a light rather pinkish fuscous; the black spots on the costa as in quercinigracella, 

 and antemedial bar strong, but tufts small, sharply defined, black, and well sep- 

 arated. 13 mm. 



Larva in oak, sometimes inquiline in galls. 



New York to Texas. New York : Rock City ( Cattaraugus Co. ) . 



8. T. basifasciella Zeller. White; fore wings with a little gray dusting, palpi 

 with two gray bands on second, and stronger ones on third segments; antennae 

 blackish. Fore wing with a black bar from costa at a fourth way out, running 

 obliquely outward to below fold and connected along costa to base; black spots on 

 costa before and beyond middle, with a dark gray spot on inner margin opposite 

 the outer one; a black discal dot and bar, and heavier gray dusting at outer 

 margin. Hind wing dirty white. 10-12 mm. 



May to June; late July. Caterpillar on oak, skeletonizing the leaves from the 

 under side. 



Xew Hampshire to Missouri and Texas. 



9. T. betulella Busck. White, mottled with pale pinkish brown; antennae annu- 

 late with white, and pale and dark brown; fore wing with three obscure and broken 

 oblique transverse fasciae, including the large concolorous basal tuft, and with 

 smaller outer ones; base of costa black. Fringe and hind wing whitish. 12 mm. 



August; early spring. Caterpillar in a rolled leaf of black birch, pupating in 

 the roll. 



District of Columbia; Virginia. 



10. T. belangerella Chambers. Fuscous, powdered on a slightly pinkish white 

 ground, with slightly raised brown bars on disc, and a brown streak on fold. 

 Terminal dots dark, obscure, diffuse. Antennas and. legs brown; palpi with second 

 segment pale gray, third yellowish with brown rings. 14 mm. {oronella 

 Walsingham). 



May to July. Caterpillar a leaf-roller on alder. 

 Canada; eastern United States. 



11. T. glandiferella Zeller. Pale, hardly powdery, ochreous gray; a velvety, 

 sharply defined, dark brown spot in fold near base; a larger dark brown spot on 

 fold, or typically, a bar reaching to inner margin, beyond it; and usually a 

 small dot at end of cell: each spot lightly denned with paler brown. 12 mm. 



July to September. 



East River, Connecticut, to Kansas and south. 



19. GLAUCE Chambers 



Closely related to Telphusa, and probably a development of it. Palpus with 

 second segment somewhat thickened, but nearly smooth, third segment longer; 

 fore wing with R, and Rs stalked, M t normally stalked more or less with R„ some- 

 times to well beyond origin of R 4 , as in the Sitotroga group, rarely free, connate. 

 M 3 connate with M 3 and widely separated from M 1; even at margin; CUj long and 

 parallel to M,, M 3 , and Cu v Hind wing with R and M t stalked, approximate, or 

 widely separated, apparently varying locally; M 2 twice as near M 3 as M t . M 3 and 

 Cu t separate. Male with a very large tuft of black bristles (fig. 166) projecting 

 forward from front of hind wing, attached below Sc; the venation distorted; and 

 with costal edge clothed with much-enlarged scales.
