It is quite impossible for us in a work of the present scope to give even an epitome of the nearly five hundred species of Tor- tricids which are at present known to occur within the limits of the United States and Canada. We shall content ourselves with an account of a few species, which will serve to show the reader what a mine of interesting inquiry presents itself to view in this single family of beautiful little moths. Genus EUCOSMA Hubner (i) Eucosma scudderiana Clemens. (The Misnamed Gall- moth.) Syn. saligneana Clemens ; affusana Zeller. The moth was called " the Misnamed Gall-moth" by Professor Riley because Clemens had given it a specific name which implied that it was a denizen of wil- low-trees or willow- galls, when in fact it has been ascertained to live in the galls of the Golden- rod {Solidago). The in- sect is not uncommon in western Pennsylvania, and is possibly an inqui- line or intruder in the galls, which are pro- duced by another spe-. FlG. 239. — E. scudderiana. a, moth; /', lar- val skin protruding from a gall of the Golden- rod. (After Riley.) cies, Gnorimoscbema gallmsolidaginis Riley. (2) Eucosma dorsisignatana Clemens, Plate XLVlll, Fig. 27, 5'. Syn. similaun Clemens; distigmana Walker; clavana Zeller; graduatana Walsingham. 418.
