THE LARVA AND PUPA OF THE APPLE BUD-BORER 



{Steganoptydia pyricolana, Murt.). 



BY E. DWIGHT SANDERSON, AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, TEXAS. 



In Studying the larva and pupa oi Steganoptycha pyricola?ia,M\xxi., 

 some observations were made as to structure, which it seems desirable to 

 permanently record. The life-history and habits of the species have been 

 described in the Twelfth Report of the Delaware Agricultural Experiment 

 Station. 



"This species was described by Miss M. E. Murtfeldt, in Bulletin 

 No. 23, o. s., Div. Ent., U. S. Dept. Agr., p. 52, as S. pyricolana, Riley 

 MS. Concerning the identity, it was stated that ' Professor Fernald, to 

 whom a specimen was shown, considers it identical with Clemens's .S*. 

 salicicolatia, which, I believe, breeds in willow galls, but Dr. Riley pro- 

 nounces it distinct, and he has types of Clemens's species.' My speci- 

 mens agree entirely with Miss Murtfeldt's description, but are distinctly 

 different from Clemens's types in the collection of the Am. Ent. Society. 

 Correspondence shows that the opinion credited above to Dr. Fernald is 

 incorrect, as he never compared the specimens. Dr. Fernald, to whom 

 specimens were referred, has kindly given the identity of the species con- 

 siderable attention, and writes me that he has frequently received speci-
