The larv* of this small moth do verymuch damage to the trees in certain yearsby destroying the needles; and it is noticedthat trees attacked by this pest are particu- very much in shape ; some are of pistol-likeform (tlie Pistol Case Hearer of the Cherry,Coleophora anatipenella), the majority of acigar-shape, as seen in the Larch pest dealtwith here. Notes regarding this insect injury havebeen sent me from Surrej, Hampshire, andSussex. The insects have been very destruc-tive around Wye and in other parts of Kent,but had escaped notice until the presentseason. Stainton records them at York,Manchester, Lancaster, Stockton-on-Tees,Bowness, and Renfrew. I have noticed themin North Wales, particularly one year at. Fig. 71.—the laech coleophora. A.—Larch shoot damaged by the larvae B.—Shoot showing damage on the right-liaud side only. c—The larval cases. (HalJnatural size.) larly prone to be invaded with Larch seems to be no particular age of treeattacked, but I have not seen it on trees ofany great size, and certainly the pest appearsmost often on trees about ten years old. The Coleophorida?, or family to whichthis insect belongs, contains a number ofsmall moths with narrow pointed wingswith dense fringes. The larva; are all pro-vided with a definitely-formed case, whichthey construct as a rule from the materialupon which they feed. These cases vary t Manual of Fomtrij, Vol. IV., p. 311, 1895, X Natural Historii, Tineina, Vol. IV., p. GS, 1859,H. T. Aberglaslyn. They probably occur in mostdistricts where the Larch grows.
