In the Report of the Seventh Annual Convention of the New 
Jersey Cranberry Association (1879, p. 7), Mr. John H. Brakeley 
gives an account of the injuries of this insect to cranberries, ancl 
adds that it is commonly found on the high-busli whortleberry. 
There next appears in the Index to the Missouri Entomological 
Reports (U. S. Ent. Com., Bull. No. 6, pp. 82, 83) a note, 
following the republished description of Toririx Cinderella, in 
which Dr. Riley says: “From specimens reared from cranberry¬ 
feeding larvae received from Mr. John H. Brakeley, of Bordentown, 
N. J., I am satisfied that this is the same species briefly character¬ 
ized by Packard in the first edition of his Guide as Toririx 
oxycoccana , and that T. malivorana LeBaron is but a dimor¬ 
phic orange form subsequently described by Packard as T. 
vacciniivorana. The orange and ash-gray specimens are thus bred 
both from Apple and Cranberry. I have reared both forms from Cran¬ 
berry and from Apple, and they are indistinguishable in the larva 
and pupa states. The gray form is more or less suffused with 
orange scales and the orange form less frequently with gray scales. 
This is the most remarkable case of dimorphism with which I 
am familiar in the family, and points strongly to the important 
bearing of biological facts on a true classification. The dimorphic 
coloring is not sexual, but occurs in both sexes. * * * The 
species belongs to the genus Teras, and, as Packard’s specific 
name oxycoccana has priority, the insect should be known as Teras 
oxycoccana, Pack. * * * The gray form of the moth is most 
frequent in autumn.” 
Prof. C. H. Fernald, in his “Synonymical Catalogue of the de¬ 
scribed Tortricidae of North America,” published in 1882 (Trans. 
Am. Ent. Soc., Yol. X., p. 9), retains the four species’— Teras 
oxycoccana, Cinderella, malivorana, and vacciniivorana, —remarking 
in a foot note-that “Prof. Riley thinks these four species are all 
one, but surely oxycoccana, Pack., must be distinct.” Teras 
minutci is also here given as a distinct species, and T. variolana, 
Zell, is mentioned as a synonym of it. 
Both forms of the species are treated of by Mr. Wm. Saunders 
in his treaties on “Insects Injurious to Fruit” under the names 
given by LeBaron and Riley, but the statement is made that “it 
is probable that both insects are slightly modified forms of the 
same species.” 
In “Papilio” for April, 1884 (p. 71), Prof. Riley, in an article entitled 
“On the Dimorphism of Teras oxycoccana, Pack.,” republishes 
the paragraph above quoted from the Index to the Missouri Re¬ 
ports, and adds that as a consequence of the doubt implied in 
Prof. Fernald’s Catalogue concerning the correctness of these 
views, he “put the question to so full a test as to leave no reason 
for doubt. The experience of Mr. J. B. Smith in the field is con¬ 
firmatory; but from material which he sent to Washington, 
we not only actually bred the orange form from the first brood 
of larvae, received in May and produced from the hibernating slate-
