408. William T. M. Forbes 



whitish oblique stria toward the anal angle. Fringe fuscous, cut with two white 

 bars at notch, below which it is crossed by a blackish shade, pale below. 



Larva injurious to strawberries in Europe. Moth in May, in New Jersey. 



New Hampshire ; northern New Jersey ; and perhaps widespread. New York : 

 reported from Glens Falls, Nassau, and West Farms. 



It is uncertain to what extent the injurious strawberry leaf-roller of this country 

 is comptana or florida?ia, or one of two or three undescribed forms of the group 

 which appear to exist. Specimens from Lakehurst, New Jersey, in the region of 

 injury, are apparently constant and represent an intermediate form with practi- 

 cally the coloring of floridana, a little dulled, but with the outer patches of 

 comptana distinctly marked. The same form occurs in Vermont and Manitoba and 

 Colorado and has been confused with Anchylopera angulifasciana. 



A. loricana Grote. Shining bronze brown, with bright yellow markings on outer 

 part of costa and outer margin. 



This species was described from Dayton, Ohio, but has not been rediscovered, and 

 is probably exotic. 



9. ANCHYLOPERA Stephens 

 (Restricted; Ancylopera auct. ; Ancylis, in part; Phoxopteris in part) 



Similar to Ancylis, but with M 3 and Cu t completely united (fig. 264). Palpi 

 never as hairy as in some Ancylis. The falcation of the fore wing is always broad 

 and well marked. Markings characteristic, a little modified in A. nubeculana. 

 Fore wing with a dark basal patch not reaching the costa, and with its upper 

 boundary curving into the oblique outer boundary; costa contrastingly pale. An 

 oblique median fascia from costa to middle of outer part of wing, where it is 

 usually somewhat widened and abruptly truncate, outlined on upper side with 

 white, and usually also on lower outer side by a fine line which is often partly 

 lead colored. Costa outwardly with white striae, more or less distinctly paired; 

 usually ending a little above the oblique fascia. Fringe usually dark at apex and 

 pale below. 



The genus is quite homogeneous and derived from the comptana group of Ancylis; 

 for a key to the species, see Ancylis. 



1. A. nubeculana Clemens. White; outer part of wing shaded with light gray; 

 a short oblique bar at middle of costa. Apex shaded with brown, with a couple 

 of black subterminal dots before the notch. A blackish patch on inner margin, 

 with quite irregular upper boundary, extending nearly across cell at a third way 

 out; ending at middle of wing, but followed by a patch of dark blue-gray which 

 is hardly distinguishable from it. Fringe broadly fuscous tipped, cut with white 

 below apex, and broadly white at anal angle. 15 mm. 



Common and general in distribution in May and June. The larva a leaf-roller 

 on apple and other trees, but rarely in injurious numbers. 



New York: North Elba, Peru, Palmyra, East Bloomfield, Rock City (Cattaraugus 

 County), Crosby (Yates County), McLean, Ithaca, Niverville. 



2. A. subgequana Zeller. Ground white, slightly tinted with clay-color outwardly 

 and especially toward costa. Basal patch brown-black, irregular, its outer part 

 extending up into cell as a more or less obvious lobe. Median fascia from costa 

 weak or obsolescent; when strongest, clay-color. Speculum frequently incon- 

 spicuous, sometimes defined by clay shades before, and beyond, and above it, the 

 former crossed by some black lines. A black apical dot; fringe sometimes cut 

 with dark gray at middle. Hind wing light gray. 15 mm. 



June and July. 



Nova Scotia to the West Coast, south in the mountains to Virginia; in the 

 Northwest replaced by a grayer form, kincaidana Fernald. New York: Black 

 Brook (Clinton County).
