Index to Popular Names. 



Few insects have popular names that are definitely applicable to one species 

 only. The same insect may be known under different names in different 

 parts of the State, and the same name is often applied to quite different 

 insects. Quite usually the food plant is associated with a general term, as 

 wheat louse, melon louse, apple louse, etc., etc. Any references to popular 

 terms of this character must necessarily be somewhat indefinite, because 

 there are half a dozen species of plant lice on apple, two or three dozen 

 species of galls on oak and so on. Throughout this list I have given the 

 popular names in general use in this State, and the index gives also a number 

 of the crop headings with the chief pests infesting them.
