Sentences with TORTRICID (2)
THE HICKORY-SHUCK WORM (_Grapholitha caryana._ Fitch).--The parent of this pest is a minute moth of the family _Tortricidæ_, the small caterpillars mining and boring the green husks, and sometimes into the immature shell, causing the nuts to wither and drop off prematurely, although an occasional one may reach maturity, even in its scarified condition.
The families of most restricted range are--the Scytalidæ, only found elsewhere in the Philippine islands; the Amblycephalidæ, common to the Oriental and Neotropical regions; and the Tortricidæ, most abundant in the Oriental region, but found also in the Austro-Malay islands and Tropical South America.
