ing, the moth pushes through one end of the cocoon, and then sheds the 
pupal skin while protruding about two-thirds of its length beyond the 
cocoon. The black, clear-winged moth has a broad and a narrow band 
of yellow across the abdomen. 
Pyralidae 
indigenella Zell., Mineola (Leaf crumpler) 
The cornucopia-like winter cases of Mineola indigenella, a leaf crumpler, 
are easily seen on almost any hawthorn tree during the winter, attached | 
firmly to the twigs and the branches and often with partly eaten leaves 
attached. The larvae carry the cases with them and feed on the leaves 
in April and May. They pupate within the same cases attached to twigs 
in June, and at Ithaca the moths emerge in late June. 
Tortricidae 
argyrospila Walk., Archips (Fruit-tree leaf roller) 
The greenish larvae of Archips argyrospila, with their black heads and 
shields, are fairly abundant on the foliage of native hawthorns during 
May and are found occasionally in June. They tie together a cluster of 
leaves and feed on a leaf within the cluster. Moths emerged from the 
larval nests in late June and early July. 
chionosema Zell., Olethreutes 
The pale green larvae of Olethreutes chionosema fold the leaves of native 
hawthorns and feed on the upper surface of the leaves within the fold. 
Each larva folds a single leaf at a 
time. They are fairly common on 
the hawthorns and apple trees about 
Ithaca during May. The moths fly 
during June after pupating within the 
folded leaf. A few moths taken on 
August 14 and 15 seem to indicate a- 
second brood. The moth (fig. 111) is 
brownish, with a large white spot on 
the costal edge of the fore wing, and 
has a wing expanse of from 15 to 
16 millimeters. Fie. 111. OLETHREUTES CHIONOSEMA 
nubeculana Clem., Ancylis 
The greenish larvae of Ancylis nubeculana were found in late summer 
in rolled leaves of Crataegus punctata. They pupated in May and the 
moths emerged from June 8 to June 18. The species is not very 
common.
