ANNUAL REPORT OF NEW-YORK 
CHERRY. LEAVES. 
The Rosacean Tortrix, No. 46, is a common worm upon the 
cherry 
87. Oherrt-eating Tortrix, Lozotania Cerasivorana, new species. (I,e- 
pidoptera. Tortricidae.) Plate ii, fig. 3. 
In July, tieing the leaves together with silken threads; when 
numerous, living in, societies and forming a large nest, drawing all 
the twigs and leaves of a particular limb together; oftenest seen 
on the choke cherry, but occurring also on the garden cherry; an 
ochre yellow worm with the head, neck, hind end and feet 
black, and a few fine hairs from smooth shining dots; form¬ 
ing its pupa in the same nest; the moth broad and flat when 
at rest, the outer edge of its fore wings being strongly rounded 
towards the base and straight from the middle to the tip, 
these wings with irregular wavy bands alternately of bright ochre 
yellow and pale leaden blue, the yellow bands often varied with 
rusty or blackish atoms forming darker spots, the most con¬ 
spicuous one of which is placed on the outer margin near the tip, 
and from this spot a broader ochre yellow band extends towards 
the hind margin forward of its middle and curves thence to the 
inner angle; hind wings and all beneath pale ochre yellow. 
■Width 0.75 to 1.10. Like others of this group this moth varies 
greatly, the marks on its fore wings being confused and indistinct 
or wholly obliterated in old rubbed individuals. It may always 
be known, however, from the other moths related to it, by its 
bright yellow color, in connection with its size and the shape of 
its fore wings. None of the described insects of this genus appear 
to have hind wings of so pure yellow without any smoky or dusky 
shade. 
88 . Fall web worm, Hyphantria textor, Harris. (Lepidoptera. Arctiid®.' 
In August and the fore-part of September, forming a large thin 
cobw r eb-like nest on the end of a limb and eating all the leaves 
in and around it; smallish caterpillars living together in a society, 
their color pale yellow, with a broad black or blackish stripe 
upon the back and another beneath, thinly clothed with whitish 
hairs growing from smooth orange yellow and black dots, the 
head and feet black; the worms of the same nest varying greatly
