BIRCH LEAF-ROLLERS. 505 
63. Eccopsis zelleriana Fernald. 
According to Professor Fernald this insect feeds on the leaves of Betula 
popuUfolia (Trans. Anier. Ent., Soc, 1882, x, 29). 
64. Eccopsis? var. of permundana Clemens. 
This has been reared by Mrs. Dimmock from two larvae taken in 
Cambridge, Mass., June 17, on the white birch. It pupated about June 
30, the imagines emerging July 10 and 15. Clemens says of E. per- 
mundana: 
Larva. — The larva binds together the terminal leaves of Spiraea. It is pale greeu, 
touched with yellowish at the junction of the segments ; head and shield black. The 
larva may be taken in the middle of June. 
65. Penthina albeolana Zeller. 
The larva of this Tortricid taken by Mrs. Dimmock September 4, at 
Cambridge, Mass., on the white birch, pupated September 6, the moth 
appearing on the 24th of the following May. That it is probably double- 
brooded is indicated b} T the fact that Mr. Burgess captured a moth 
(from which Zeller described the species) August 15. 
66. Pcedisca solicitana Walk. 
Fernald states that the food-plant of this species is the poplar-leaved 
birch. (Trans*. Amer. Ent. Soc, x, p. 40.) 
67. Pcedisca transmxssana Walk. 
Mrs. Dimmock remarks that the larva of this species is common 
during October, about Cambridge, Mass., ll when it eats out the inside 
of the sterile catkins of Betula alba. It hybernates as pupa." (Psyche, 
iv, p. 241). 
68. Caccecia rosaceana Harris. 
This well-known caterpillar was found feeding on the leaves of the 
poplar-leaved birch in July and August, the moth appearing the first 
week in September. Coquillett (Papilio, May, June, 1883, iii, pp. 100, 101) 
describes the larva carefully and gives the names of twenty-four species 
of food-plants, to which Mrs. Dimmock adds Viburnum dentatum and 
Philadelphus coronarius. (Psyche, iv, p. 242.) 
69. Cacoecia cerasivorana Fitch. 
Professor Fernald states that this leaf-roller lives on the cherry and 
Betula popuUfolia. Dr. D. S. Kellicott states that this insect was, 
during the summer of 1882, too abundant in certain ornamental birches 
in Buffalo. (Bull. Nat. Field Club, 1883, p. 44.) 
The four following species of leaf rolling caterpillars (Tortricidse) also 
occurred on the leaves at Brunswick, Me., in August and September.
