PREFACE.

The Tortricina form a large group of Microlepidoptera corilprising
Bpecies mostly of small size with oblong-triangular forewings and tra-
pezoidal or (seldom) elongate-ovate hindwings ; head roughened with
dense erect scales ; eye glabrous ; tongue usually developed ; antenna
under 2/3 ; maxillary palpus rudimentary or obsolete ; labial palpus
with second segment usually more or less rough -scaled, terminal seg-
ment short ; hind tibia with all spurs developed ; forewing with vein
1* furcate, 1'' usually developed, 3, 4 and 5 more or less approximated,
an accessory cell often well-marked ; hiudwing with frenulum, vein 1"^
usually present, 6 and 7 usually approximated or stalked, 8 approxi-
mated to anterior half of upper margin of cell, sometimes connected
with it and then diverging.

Over 4,000 species of Tortricina have been described and of these
several hundred are known to occur in the Indian Region where, how-
ever, they have been little collected as yet and undoubtedly very many
await discovery. Many are rarely met with in the adult state but may
be bred freely when their life-histories are. known. The habits of the
larva; are various but they nearly always live concealed within rolled
leaves (whence the name Tmtrix, from the larval habit of twisting up
leaves) or within leaves or shoots spun together or within shoots, stems,
flower-heads, seedpods, fruits, or in roots. From an economic point
of view, this is an important group including many well-known Crop
Pests.

The Phaloniadse form one of the four Families into which ihe Tor-
tricina are divided. To the student with some knowledge of this gioup
a glance at the superficial appearance of an unknown species is usually
sufficient to decide on its Family. The genitalic characters ofler a guide
and have been investigated chiefly by Pierce {Genitalia of the Tortri-
cidae: 1922) in the case of the British species and by Heinrich (f/. (S.
Nat. Mus. Bull. 123 (1923) and 132 (1926) ) in the case of the North-
American EucosmidiBi Unfortunately, neither of these methods ren-
ders much help to the student who has not the previous knowledge or
may have only a female specimen. Also, although the FamiHes are
natural and well-marked, they are (in Heinrich's words as applied to the
Eucosmida;) " much easier to recognize than to desc;ribe in categorical
terms ", as they each include exceptional modifications in strurture
usually characteristic of one or more of the other Families. The follow-
ing key to the Families is offered only as an attempt to help the student :

cell and thus rather approximated to

angle of cell Phaloniadse.

2. Forewing with veins 8 and 9 stalked, or

coincident ; terminal palpal segment

pointed Chlidanotidije.

Forewing with veins 8 and 9 normally
separate ; if 8 and 9 are stalked or coin-
cident, then terminal palpal segment
is obtuse ..... 3

3. Hiadwing with cubital pecten of hairs (on

lower margin of cell on upper surface
of wing) [absent in a few American
genera] ; forewing veins 8 and 9 al-
ways separate ; second palpal segment
not triangularly dilated with scales . Eucosmidje^

Hindwing usually without cubital pecten of
hairs ; forewing veins 8 and 9 usually
separate but rarely stalked or coin-
cident ; second palpal segment more
or less triangularly dilated with
scales .*.... Tortricid*.

KEY TO INDIAN GENERA OF PHALONIADiE.

1. H. W. 3 and 4 separate at origin . . Phalonia.

H. W. 3 and 4 stalked .... 2

2. F. W. 7 and 8 stalked .... Clysia.

F. W. 7 and 8 separate .... Euxanthis.

No life-history of any Indian species is known as yet, the only spe-
cies which has been bred at all being Clysia eucalypta, Meyr., which
was reared by me from a larva in a case on Scaevola at Bent^ta (Ceylon).
In the case of non-Indian species, the larvae appear to be almost always,
internal feeders in flowers, seed-heads or roots of their foodplants.

CHLIDANOTIDAE.

PREFACE.

In the Clilidanotidae the. head is rough or loosely-haired ; tongue
short or absont ; ocelU present ; antenna about 3/5, simple ; labial palpus
ascending or porrected, second segment rough-scaled, terpiinal segment
pointed ; maxillary palpus obsolete ; forewing with vein 1 bifurcate,
2 from I — I of cell, 3 from or near angle, 8 and 9 stalked or coincident,
11 from beyond middle ; hindwing trapezoidal, lower margin of cell
without basal pecten of hairs, veins 3 and i connate, stalked or coin-
cident, 5 parallel to 4, 6 and 7 stalked [approximated towards base in
Picroxena], 8 free.

So far as known at present, the Chlidanotidaj form a small group
of genera confined to the Indo-Australiau area with a single outlying
straggler in Zululaud. Most of the described species and five of the
seven known genera occur within Indian limits, the non-Indian species
being : —

(1) Trynialitis climacias, Meyr., Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. W. XXXVI

295 (1911) (J, from Cooktown (Queensland),

(2) Trtjmaliiis scalifmi, Meyr., Ann. S. Afr. Mas. X 58 (1912) ^,

from Zululand,

(3) Caenognosis incisn, Wlsm., Monogr. Christmas Isd., pp. 79-80

(1900) $, from Christmas Island,

(4) Caenognosis neoris, Meyr., Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. W. XXXVI

293-294 (1911) (J, from Cairns (Queensland) [Described as
Epirrkobca neoris].

(5) Picroxcna scorpiKra, Meyr., Zool. Meded. VI. 161 (1921) (J 9><

from Pekalongan (Java).

Further collecting in the Hills of Ceylon, Southern India, Assam,
Burma and the Malayan Subregion will doubtless reveal further species.
No life-histories are known as yet in this group.

The following key includes all the known genere, the non-Indian
ones being included in square brackets : —
