catalog ii-: 



Tlic following list comprises a large number of species which have been observed 

 upon various shade and forest trees. These insects are very rarely abundant enough 

 to cause any material injury, yet their identification is necessary if one would be 

 certain that lie has not some more destructive form. References are given to 

 records of food habits and also to descriptions of immature stages. These latter 

 will prove of great value to all working entomologists, since it will enable them to 

 ascertain readily whether a certain caterpillar has been described or not. Tlie more 

 striking larval characters have been included because they will assist in eliminating 

 many species, and thus save much labor in referring to the literature. Many refer- 

 ences arc given to Packanl's well known Insects Injurious to Forest and Shade 

 Trees, fifth report of the United States Entomological Commission. These arc so 

 numerous that in the interest of brevity, the name of the author is given in abbre- 

 viated form, followed by the page whenever the volume contains more than a record 

 of food habits. We have endeavored to select the best available larval description, 

 and, as a rule, food plant records compiled from other authors follow the reference.
