Thus we find at least 32 species of insects making use of the 
cone galls. Of these, one is a gall maker, 10 are inquilines, 16 
are parasites or hyperparasites, and 5 are transient or accidental 
guests. It will be noticed that the greater number are from S. 
strobiloides, which may be due to the better protection offered 
by the dense pubescence. The larger insects were more numer- 
ous than small ones in S. guaphalotdes. 
The following description of the moth bred from the gall S. 
gnaphaloides has been furnished for publication in this paper by 
Professor C. H. Fernald : — 
Acleris heindelana Fernald n. sp. 
Expanse of wings, 15-17 mm. Head, thorax, and fore wings dull steel 
gray, the wings with a trace of light brown stain below the large triangular 
dark brown costal spot which extends from the basal third to near the 
outer fifth of the costa and about halfway across the wing. This spot has 
minute scattered tufts of blackish scales over the surface and there are also 
a few other blackish scale tufts in places common to the species of this 
genus.
