A NEW GALL MOTH, AND NOTES ON LARVÆ OF OTHER GALL MOTHS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Extract
There have been described, thus far, three N. American moths whose larvæ produce galls, or more or ress decided enlargements of the stems of their food-plant. They are, frrst, Gelechia gallæsolidaginis, described by Riley, with cuts, in the First Mo. Rept. at page 173; accompanying the description is an account of six parasites. Second, Walshia amorphilla, described by Clemens in Proc. Ent. Soc. phil., vol. ii., page 419 ; also an account of larva habits, etc., with cuts, is given in the Second Mo. Rept. at page 132. Third, Paedisca (Euryptychia) saligneana, dsscribed by Clemens in Proc. Ent, Soc. Phil., vol. v., page 141 ; an account of it also occurs in the Second Mo. Rept., page 134.

* There is a fourth moth which I have found at different places in Ont. and New York, whose larva produces a gall on the Willow, Its habits are almost identical with those of saligneana. I had its history in manuscript to accompany this paper, but when about to send it to the publisher, Prof. C. H. Fernald informed me that Prof. C. V. Riley also has it in manuscript. It will finally be published as Grapholithta gallœsaliciana.
