tion by its injuries to junipers, the leaves of which it fastens 
together with silk. In this way it makes a more or less per¬ 
fect tube within which it lives. The moth expands about 
one half inch, and has bright, glossy, orange, fore wings, 
crossed by four reddish brown bands. 
Family TORTRICID^E (Tor-tric'i-dae). 
The Typical Tortricids ( Tor'tri-cids ). 
The Tortricidae agree with the preceding family in lack¬ 
ing a fringe of long hairs on the basal part of vein VII of the 
hind wings, but differ in that vein VII, of the hind wings 
separates from the main stem before the outer third of the 
discal cell. More than one hundred and twenty North 
American species are known. 
Several of our best-known members of this family belong 
to the genus Caccecia (Ca-coe'ci-a). These may be called the 
Ugly-nest Tortricids, ugly dwelling being the meaning of 
Caccecia , and also descriptive of the nests of the larvae of 
these insects. 
Figure 291 represents the nest of the larva of Caccecia ro- 
sana (C. ro-sa'na), which we bred on currant; and Figure 292, 
the adult of this species. This 
moth expands three fourths of 
an inch. The fore wings are 
olive-brown, crossed by bands 
of darker color ; the hind wings 
are dusky. This species differs

from the two following in that each larva makes a nest for 
itself.
