SUBFAMILY MESSINAE 124 



{Phyllotominae, Fenusinae, and Scolioneiirinae, MacGillivray) 



Caliroa O. Costa 



C. aethiops (Fab.). Rose Sawfly. Ithaca, May (CU) ; Geneseo, Je (NYS). 

 This is a well-known European enemy of roses which has become well estab- 

 lished in the US ; it is probably widely distributed throughout NY ; in literature 

 it is often referred to as Endelomyia rosae or Monostegia rosae. 



Eriocampoides Konow 



E. fasciata (Nort.). Plattsburg, Dyar. Larva feeds on black oak.

 Econ) ; Corning, Je (NYS) ; Binghamton (CU Econ) ; Schenectady, Rensse- 

 laer (Felt) ; Kinderhook, Felt; Athens, Aug (Felt) ; West Farms. This 

 species is undoubtedly widely distributed throughout the State. The larva is 

 injurious to plums, cherries, pears, and allied plants, skeletonizing the leaves. 



E. lobata (MacG.). Oswego, CSSheldon, type. - 



E. lunata (MacG.). Ithaca, type.

 and find no reference to it since the original description. It was described in 

 the genus Caliroa (Can. Ent., vol. 26, p. 324, 1894).

 M. alsia MacG. Ithaca, May, type. 

 M. arnica MacG. N. Evans, Aug, type. 

 M. appota MacG. Buffalo, Je, type. 



'^^^ Messinae is used for this subfamily by Rohwer because Messa is the oldest contained generic 

 name. Those who believe, with the editor, that the subfamily name should be based on the oldest 

 usage of a contained generic name for the stem of the name of a group higher than genus, will 

 substitute Phyllotominae for Messinae. (Bdy.)
