NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM 



Cenopis reticulatana Clem. 



This rose leaf roller is abroad in New York State in July and may be 



considered a form capable of doing more or less damage from year to year, 



and should it invade greenhouses is likely to be rather injurious. It has 



been recorded by Dr Smith from New Jersey localities, where it is stated 



to feed on rose, geranium, oak, persimmon, pear and maple. I)r Dyar lists 



it from the Atlantic States. The little moth has been described by Dr 



Robinson as follows : 



Palpi red, very long, proboscidiform. Head and thorax yellow above. 

 Anterior wings yellow finely reticulated with orange. Costa at base tinged 

 with purple. Central fascia purple, commencing in a spot on costa before 

 the middle and ending in the apex of a large triangular spot of the same 

 hue on internal margin. The large purple costal spot throws out a line 

 which is forked just below it, one branch running obliquely inwardly to the 

 triangular spot on internal margin, the other outwardly to before internal 

 angle. 



Posterior wings and fringes very pale yellow. Under surface of both 

 pairs pale straw color, the anterior pair slightly reflecting the hue and 

 markings of the upper surface. 



The wing expanse has been given by Dr Robinson as from 5/$ to 3^ 

 inch in the male, and in the female from about 3^ to l/% inch. This spe- 

 cies he states varies greatly, the reticulations sometimes being obsolete 

 and the ordinary markings partially so. 



Oblique banded leaf roller 



Arc hips rosacea na Harr. 



brown-headed, greenish caterpillars about inch long, occur in May and early 

 I une in the webbed leaves of a large number of trees. 



This species is a very common leaf roller and occasionally destructive 

 to rose and some other more valuable shrubs and trees. It is an exceed- 

 ingly general feeder, having been bred by Mr Coquillett from some 24 

 different species of plants, including among others, apple, cherry, lilac, 

 horse-chestnut, burr oak, poplar, ha/el and sumac. 



The larvae draw together the young leaves at the ends of the limbs,
