The larva of a phycitid moth {Mineola indiginella), which makes irregular crumpled cases on the apple leaves upon which it feeds. It works most ex- tensively during May and .June, when it is hidden by the foliage of the tree, which it lielps even- tually to denude. The larval cases are plainly seen in the winter time attached in clusters to the twigs by means of strong silken threads, and in these cases the larvse pass the winter about one-third grown. In the spring, when the leaves first begin to bud out, the larvae begin to feed, and reach full growth in .June. The pupa is formed within the larval cases, and the moth emerges in July, laying its eggs a little later. It feeds upon the apple and cherry, both wild and cultivated ; upon the plum, quince, and crab-apple, and to a lesser extent upon the peach. The best remedy consists in collecting and destroying in winter the plainly visible larval cases. RASCHDORFF, rash'dorf, .Julius (1823—).
