The Tortricidse 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-cce'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 v/e 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.
