INSECT ENEMIES OF EASTERN FORESTS 459 
causes some damage in plantations in southern New England. It was 
particularly abundant in 1941 through southern Connecticut, although 
not so injurious as Rhyacionia buoliana. Otten the larvae are heavily 
parasitized by Hymenoptera. 
The moth of Anacampsis innocuella (Zell.) is ash gray or shghtly 
darker, with a wing expanse of 34 to 7% inch. The forewings have 
a pale, wavy, transverse line well beyond the middle followed by a 
blackish shade, three blackish dots in the cells, and two in the fold. 
The hind wings have a brownish tinge. The larva is a leaf roller on 
poplar, and is translucent, the green “food showing through the body 
wall. The head is dark brown, the cervical shield brown, and the 
true legs and tubercles are black. It is solitary and feeds on various

species of poplars. Usually, during the day it is found in a leaf rolled 
cylindrically (fig. 103), and when nearly full grown, it severs the 
petiole and finishes its feeding in the rolled leaf on the ground. 
Sometimes this species is very common in the Eastern States. It has 
been recorded from Massachusetts to Colorado and Texas. The larvae 
feed during May and June, and the moths issue in June and July. 
The moth of Anacampsis rhoifructella (Clem.) is grayish brown 
with a wing expanse of about 5g inch. The forewings have markings 
quite similar to those of A. innocuella. The larva varies from pale 
brown to dark brownish red. It is quite possible that two species 
are confused under this name, as one is recorded as feeding in the 
fruit spikes of sumac in the spring, living in a silken eallery within 
the fruit cluster, and leaving strings of frass outside. Other records 
indicate the larva is a leaf folder or roller on Viburnum (most com- 
monly on V. dentatum). In Massachusetts these larvae feed during 
the latter part of May and June, pupating early in July, and the 
moths emerge in July. The species is found in the northeastern part
