Since 1930 a study has been made of the lepidopterous stem borers and leaf rollers breeding on deciduous fruit trees as well as on uncultivated plants in or near orchards which have served as sites for Oriental fruit worm parasite liberations. Parasites of these lepidopterous larvae have been reared as an important phase of the study. The objects of these studies include a record of the Microlepidoptera and their hosts and parasites, and possible alternate hosts of introduced parasites of the Oriental fruit worm.
* This determination is doubtful, the food-plant of M. pravella being Populus. The sumac-feeder is the very similar appearing Salebria semiobscurella. Editor.
