The Cherry case bearer, Coleophora pruniella , is a native of the United States and has been known to taxonomists since 1861 when it was first described by Clemens (2) from cases found on wild cherry, its native host plant. Within recent years it has become a serious pest of cultivated cherry and apple in certain sections of the United States and in the vicinity of Quebec, Canada.
