dotted with black. Beyond this patch are three light, squarish, costal spots. An

fourth costal spot. An apical dusky spot. Hind wings dark slate, and fore-wiugs

This leaf-roller is said by Miss Murtfeldt to occur on "various species 
of oak, and a strougly marked variety on hickory." (Fernald's Cata-

Order Lepidoptera; family Tixeid.e. 
Although we have numerous species of this extensive genus of Tiueid 
moths feeding upon our forest trees, none, we believe, have been re- 
corded as living at the expense of the hickory. 
The larvae of the present species were found at Providence, R.I., feed- 
ing upon the young, freshly unfolded leaves of the white-heart hickory 
(Garya tomentosa), rolling them up. Within the roll the chrysalis was 
discovered from June 2 to 4. The insect remains about two weeks in 
this stage, the moths appearing in my breeding box June 17 and 23. 
The moth belongs to that section of the genus with moderately wide 
fore-wings, which are oblong, and moderately pointed at the tip. Pro- 
fessor Fernald informs me that it is allied to Gelechia bicostomaeulella of 
Chambers. 
Moth. — Palpi very long, the third joint slender, one-half as long as the second; 
secoud joint with black specks; third black, but white at the tip. The fore-wings 
broad, oblong. Head, thorax, and wings blackish, with whitish buff-yellow specks 
and dots. The fore-wiugs are dark pepper and salt, with a row of five deep black 
spots along the middle of the wing, increasing in size towards the end of the wing; 
the basal spot minute; the third large, and sendiug a branch obliquely iuwards to 
the costa; the fourth patch large, irregularly squarish ; above it is a black square 
■costal spot, next to a buff-white, distiuct costal spot opposite another on the inner
