196 FIFTH REPORT OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL COMMISSION. 
Jane. If these leaves be opened, I green wriggling larva will be found inclosed in 
a vreb within. 
The moth hatching from these folded leaves in June, if Lopkederiu triferanui, may 
be recognized as an insignificant brown speeiee, about ■ half inch across the spread 
wings. The fore wings ere reddish brown except on tin* terminal fourth, which is 
gray speokled with black, as is also the basal half of the posterior edge of th 
wings. 
The species was first described by Walker in 1863 as Cacwcia triferana, and again 
by Clemens in lSt'>.">, in the proceeding! of the Entomological Society of Philadelphia, 
under the name of Tort r is imcrtuiia. A better description of the moth, with figures 
of male and female, is given by Robinson in Volume II of the Transactions of the 
American Entomological Society, under the same specific name. 
Aa an injurious insect it is mentioned by Dr. Packard in the Massachusetts Agri- 
cultural Report for 1870, and in the Tenth Report of the Geological and Geographical 
Survey of Colorado and Adjacent Territory, 1870. By Miss Murtfeldt it is reported 
as injurious to the rose, in the third volume of the American Entomologist (1880), 
and by Professor Liutner as a clover insect in the Auuual Report of the New York 
Agricultural Society for the same year. 
This species has been collected from Maine and New York to Illinois and T 
and has been fouud feeding on the cranberry, elm, soft maple, oak, apple, rose, beans, 
Gnaphalium jyoljicephalum, clover, strawberry, and corn. Our specimens, collected 
ou May 29, emerged June 30. 
In all the foregoing articles except the first this species is treated under Clemens's 
specific name, but in Fernald's Catalogue of the Tortricidre of North America 
this is reduced to a synonym of Walker's triferanus. The larva was not distinguished 
in our breeding cages from that of the preceding species (Dichelia sulphureana). con- 
sequently I am unable to give a detailed description of it. Clemens's description of 
the imago is as follows: 
Moth. — Palpi ocherous or brownish ocherous except the minute third joint, which 
is blackish. Head and thorax ocherous or brownish ocherous. Anterior wings pure 
pale reddish brown within the central fascia, except on internal margin, which is 
broadly covered at base with blackish brown scales, forming a rather prominent 
irregular spot followed by an aggregation of intermediate pale ocherous and black- 
ish scales to the fascia. Central fascia broad, distinctly dark brown, sometimes 
reddish brown. The subapical costal spot is dark brown and separated from the 
central fascia by a reddish brown shade. The remaining outer portion of the wing 
pale ocherous except a testaceous brown spot above the anal angle. Fringes dark 
ocherous. Posterior wings fuscous above, testaceous beneath. Fringes pah 
ceous, much clouded centrally with dark fuscous. Expanse, male 15, female 19 mui . 
274. Lophoderii8 velutinana Walk. 
This species is said by Miss Murtfeldt to feed on the laurel-oak, bal- 
sain-tir, and maple. 
Moth. — Fore wings pale ocherous, darker on costa at base : a large dark-brown 
basal patch, not quite reaching the costa. Middle band dark brown to the middle 
of the wing, reddish brown beyond, throwing out a booklet inwardly below the cell, 
which curving upwardly nearly incloses a pale ocherous spot. Subapical costal spot 
dark brown, semilunate, connected by a paler streak with internal angle. Expanse 
of wings, 17 mm . 
275. Phoxopteris murtfeldtiana Riley. 
Three specimens were bred from oak, May 10, by Miss Murtfeldt, in 
Missouri. 
From Ph. spirecvfoUana, which Dr. Clemens bred from larva? found 
feeding on the leaves of Spirwa opuUfoUa, this oak-feeding species dif-
