pupa transforms to the adult, it works its way partly out of its 
cocoon. 
Adoxophyes furcatana (WI1k.), a leaf roller on sycamore, oc- 
curs from New England to Pennsylvania and the Mississippi 
River Valley. The adult is straw-yellow and has a wingspread of 
20 mm. The forewings are marked with five golden brown lines 
and two irregular light brown bands. The hindwings and their 
fringes are shiny white. Full-grown larvae are light green, taper 
toward each end, and are about 18 mm. long. 
Amorbia humerosana Clem. occurs from coast to coast in 
southern Canada and in the Northeastern States south to Penn- 
sylvania. Its hosts include a wide variety of tree species, both 
coniferous and deciduous. Adults are light gray and have wing- 
spreads of about 25 mm. Larvae are light green except for light 
brown heads. | 
Sparganothis acerivorana (MacKay) occurs in southern Can- 
ada and the Lake States. In Canada it feeds on several hard- 
woods, mostly sugar and red maples and also on young Scotch 
and red pines. In the Lake States, it usually feeds on sugar maple. 
The adult is reddish-yellow with reddish-brown spots and has a 
wingspread of about 25 mm. Full-grown larvae are yellowish- 
green and about 21 mm. long. Winter is apparently spent in the 
egg stage, and hatching occurs during May of the following 
spring. Each larva rolls a leaf in which to rest and from which it 
moves out to feed. Pupation occurs inside the roll. 
Defoliation by this species was an important factor leading to 
the development of maple blight, a condition responsible for the 
deterioration and death of large numbers of sugar maple trees in 
Wisconsin during recent years (294). 
Sparganothis pettitana (Rob.) occurs in southeastern Canada 
and south and west to Florida and the Mississippi River Valley. 
The larvae are solitary leaf rollers on various hardwoods, es- 
pecially basswood and maples. The adult is plain lemon yellow 
and has a wingspread of about 22 mm. The forewings are some- 
times marked with two oblique lines of light brown scales, and 
the hindwings are white. Full-grown larvae are dull, yellowish- 
green, with reddish-brown heads and brown to blackish cervical 
shields. 
Sparganothis sulfureana (Clem.) has been observed feeding in 
the tips and shoots of small red pines in Canada and in the ter- 
minals of loblolly pine seedlings in Georgia. Willow, honey locust, 
apple, and cherry are also attacked. S. folgidipenna (Blanchard) 
occurs over about the same range as S. sulfureana. It feeds on 
white ash, maple, large tooth aspen, and paper birch. S. diluto- 
costana (Wlshm.) occurs commonly on oak in New Jersey and 
Maine. It has also been recorded feeding on white ash and paper 
birch in southern Canada. S. tristriata Kft. occurs fairly com- 
monly on jack pine in southern Ontario. It probably occurs in the 
Lake States also. 
The genus Pandemis Hbn. contains several species which attack 
a wide variety of hardwoods in eastern America. P. lamprosana 
(Rob.) feeds on beech, paper birch, red and sugar maples, oak, 
elm, basswood, ironwood, and sassafras from Maine to New 
Jersey and in southern Ontario and Quebec. P. limitata (Rob.)
