back and sides, lateral one projecting, smooth, neither ever spinose. 
Set® of stage I, as in Tortricidia pallida , differing only in detail. 
Later the warts are represented by distinct short set® which diminish 
nearly to obliteration during ontogeny. Depressed spaces well devel¬ 
oped, fairly large, (i) to (8) present. Skin at first smooth, later 
covered with round, clear granules, each with a minute central spine 
and crown of four to eight around it, causing the skin to appear mi¬ 
nutely furry. The granules appear well formed first on the ridges, 
later spreading more evenly over the body. The fur-like spines be¬ 
come smaller at each subsequent molt till in the last stage they are ab¬ 
sent, leaving the granules perfectly smooth. Coloration green with 
yellow lines and a small red mark. 1 here are six larval stages. 
Affinities, Habits, Etc.* 
Allied to Tortricidia pallida and Heterogenea flexuosa. Stage I 
is most like flexuosa , but the Y-shaped set® are distinctly alternating, 
as in pallida , or more so, and there is a brown cervical shield. In 
stage II the set® persist as in pallida , but the granulation is at once 
distinguished from either by the peculiar fur on the ridges, which 
passes less perfectly into the spaces. The ridges are prominent and 
distinc tlysegmentarily beaded as in neither of the allies. Later, owing 
to the diminution of the fur and the small size of the red mark, the 
larva resembles most flexuosa , and may be distinguished from some 
forms of that species only by the yellow collar. It is less strongly 
pigmented, a clearer, less yellowish-green, while the pattern of color¬ 
ation is much less extended, though essentially the same as in both al¬ 
lies. The transverse yellow line on joint 3, or collar, is present in 
this species only. The depressed spaces are yellow, as in flexuosa. 
The moths emerge somewhat later than those ot the allied species, 
during the first weeks in July. The larv® have the same habits and 
occur in the same situations as flexuosa , but show a more marked pref- 
* The nearest ally of our H. shurtlejfli will doubtless prove to be the European 
H. cruciata. The moths are strictly congeneric, whereas H. flexuosa and its variety 
ccesonia do not belong to Heterogenea or to Lithacodes, but properly to Tortricidia. 
H. shurtlejfli has been very rare in collections, only the type being known for thirty- 
four years. Consequently it appeared to Mr. Neumoegen and myself that it might 
prove an aberrant form of ccesonia. However we overlooked two important struc¬ 
tural characters, not having the type for examination ; but this has recently been sent 
to me by Mr. Henshaw. It agrees with my bred specimens, of which a full account 
is presented herewith. The specimens are deposited in the U. S. National Museum.
