73. The walnut leaf- holler. 
Tortris rihyana Grote. 
Order Lepidoptera; family Tortricid.e. 
Drawing together the leaves of the black walnut and hickory in May, a colony of 
small yellow caterpillars; late iD the month changing to honey-yellow chrysalids, 
the moths escaping by the middle or last of June. The latter expands an inch, and 
is deep ocherous, the fore-wings broad, evenly washed with purplish, with dark vel- 
vety-brown small spots, of which there are three at the base, two in the middle of 
the wMng, and one on the edge, while near the apex is a curved row of four or five 
spots. The hind wings clear bright deep ocherous yellow. (Riley.) 
74. Tortrix (Lophoderus) juglandana Fernald. 
Habitat. — This species inhabits Massachusetts, New York, Ontario, 
Canada, Ohio, Wisconsin. Raised by James Angus on hickory leaves. 
(C. H. Fernald in Can. Ent., xi, p. 155.) 
The moth.— Head, thorax and fore- wings reddish brown to dark brown. Fore- wings 
each with two oblique narrow bands of darker brown than the ground color of the 
wing; the first, beginning at about the basal third of the costa, extends obliquely 
across to the middle of the inner border; the second begins near the middle of the 
costa and extends obliquely across the wing parallel to the first band, and ends at 
the anal angle ; these bands expand somewhat on the costal and inner borders. On 
the fore-wings of most of the males are scattered scales of a straw-yellow color, 
especially bordering the oblique bands; fringes of the fore-wings lighter in the mid- 
dle, but at the apex and anal angle concolorous with the oblique bands. Hind 
wings above, with their fringes, as well as the abdomen above and the under side of 
fore- wings, fuscous. Under side of hind wings and legs lighter. Expanse Jf wings, 
male, 15 to 20 mm ; female, 20 to 26 mm . 
75. The hickory eccopsis. 
Eccopsis permundana (Clemens). 
The larva of this pretty moth has been found in Providence, R. I., to 
live on the leaves of the white-heart hickory (Carya tomentosa), which it 
folds, and when about to change to a chrysalis lines the fold with a 
thin layer of whitish silk. I have observed the caterpillars May 24, or 
as soon as the leaves are unfolded. From the 2d to the 9th of June, 
the insects changed to chrysalides and the moths appeared on the 23d 
of the same mouth. The life-history is then nearly as follows : From 
eggs laid the previous autumn on the twigs, the insect being probably 
double-brooded, the caterpillars hatch out simultaneously with the 
opening of the leaves, living about a week or ten days in this state be- 
tween the folded leaves or rolling them up sideways or from the apex 
to the base ; in the fold or roll thus made, which it lines with silk, it 
changes to a chrysalis, remaining about a fortnight in this state until 
during the third week in June, in southern New England, it appears 
as a beautifully marked moth flying about and resting on the leaves. 
In Illinois, according to Mr. Coquillett (Papilio, iii, 102), the cater- 
pillar feeds on the Siberian crab-apple, the cultivated raspberry, wild
