Bibliography of Most of the More Important Contributions 

 TO THE Economic Literature of the Codling-Moth. 



1635. Goedaerdt. Metamorphosis Naturalis, Vol. I., p. 98, figure 46. 

 Apparently the first published account of the insect. It seems to 

 have escaped notice until 1864, when Werneburg referred to it in his 

 *' Beitrage zur Schmetterlingskunde." Lister added nothing of import- 

 ance in his Latin edition of Goedaerdt, published in 1685. 



1728. Frisch. Beschreibung von Allerley Insecten in Teutschland, part 

 7, pp. 16-17, pi. 10, figures 1-5. Grotesque and yet quite accurate 

 descriptions of moth and larva ; believed it preferred to work in 

 unhealthy or injured fruits. No definite data on life-history. 



1736. Reaumur. Mem. pour servir aL'Histoire des Insects, Vol. II., pp. 

 484, 496-499, pi. 38, figures II, 12, and pi. 40, figures i-io. Good 

 account of work of larva in fruit, and in making its cocoon. Two 

 broods indicated. 



1746. Roesel. Insecten-Belustigung, Vol. I., part 6, No. 13, pp. 33-37, 

 pi. 13, figures 1-5. In accuracy of detail and coloring, the hand- 

 painted figures equal, if not excel, any colored pictures of the insect 

 published since. Good account of original observations upon its life- 

 history ; thought the newly-hatched larva sometimes entered the fruit 

 beneath the egg-shell, and that the worms sometimes left one apple 

 and went to another fresh one. One brood indicated. All stages, 

 except the egg, well described. 



1747. Wilkes. The English Moths and Butterflies, book I., class i, p. 

 5, No. 9, pi. 65 (copies of Roesel's figures). Probably the first 

 English account; brief compilation from Roesel. Gave to the insect 

 its name of " Codling-Moth," from the Codling-Tree, which is also 

 figured. 



1758. Linne. Systema Naturae. Ed. X., p. 538, No. 270. Tinea 



poinonella^ *' Alis nebulosis postice macula rubra aurea." Original 



description of the insect, when it received its first scientific name. 

 1791. Brahm. Insektenkalender, Vol. II., p. 465. Brief account, with 



many early references. Common and sometimes destructive in orchards, 



and records its habits in fruit-rooms. 

 1802. DeTigny. Historic Nat. des Insectes, Vol. IX., p. 256. Largely 

 % a compilation from Reaumur and Roesel. Says eggs are laid on fruit 



before petals fall. 

 1805. Bechstein and Scharfenberg. Natur. der Schad. Forstinsekten, 



Part III., pp. 753-755. Mostly a compilation from Roesel and 



Brahm.
