In the early spring, from the middle to the end of April, Prof. Lintner and Mr. Hill have taken near Albany a rather small and inconspicuously colored moth, remarkable for its diurnal activity. At first sight I did not recognize it as belonging to the Tortricidæ, but on examination it shows the family characters and seems to be allied to the European genus Cheimatophila. But it is not vein 4, but vein 5 that is wanting on the hind wings, and the other characters sufficiently separate our species.
* Prof, C. H. Fernald, Orono, Maine, is norv engaged in the study of our N. Am. Tortrices, and I have relinquished to him my accumulated naterial for the purpose. I hope my friends will supply him with the necessary material to enable him to give us a full and much needed paper on the group.
