1852. GuENEE, A. — Heliothis arviigcra. Gen, Lep. VI. — Noct. II., 181. 

 Southern Europe, North and South America. East Indies, 

 and probably in other parts of the globe, in July and Au- 

 gust. Common. 



1855. Glovek, Townend. — Corn Worm. Kep. Com. Patents, 1854, 



pp. 6.--71. [Not seen.] 



1856. Glover, Townend. — The Boll Worm (Heliothis ?). Rep. Com. 



Patents 1855, pp. 98-103. PI. ix, fig. 4. Treats it as a fall 

 army worm, and states that it will probably prove identical 

 with corn worm treated in preceding report. Gives de- 

 scription of egg and moth ; life history, habits, injuries, and 

 remedies. 



1862, Grote, a. Pi. — Heliothis umhrosus. Proc. Ent. Soe. Phila. I., 

 219. Description of moth. Stated to be specifically distinct 

 from H. armigera. 



1865. Glover, Townend. — Corn worm. Rep. Com. Agriculture, 1864, 



p. 554. States that he has bred worms from both Indian 

 corn and cotton-balls, and the moths produced were iden- 

 tical. 



1866. Glover, Townend.— HeZio^/ris amigera. Rep, Com. Agriculture 



1865, p. 43. An instance reported from South Carolina 

 where crows that were supposed to be injuring corn proved 

 to be feeding upon this worm. 



1869. Wafsh and Riley.— Idem. Amer. Ent. I., 212, 214, figs. 150, 



151. Very destructive to Indian corn in southern Illinois, 

 sometimes destroying whole fields. First eats off the silk, 

 and then, sheltered by the husk, feeds upon the soft kernels. 

 Is two-brooded and consequently most destructive to very 

 late corn. Life history, habits, and description of the insect 

 in its various stages. Hand-picking suggested. 



Walsh and Riley. — Idem. Amer. Ent. II., 42-44, fig. 29. 

 Quote Mrs. Treat's statement that the larvae feeding upon 

 tassels of Indian corn and upon green peas differ in color 

 from those feeding upon soft ears of corn, and state that 

 this is not without parallel among two-brooded insects. 

 Mention injuries in southern Illinois, Kentucky, and Kan- 

 sas. Suggest topping corn to destroy first brood. 



Treat, Mary.— Idem. Vineland [N. J.] Weekly, Aug. 21, 

 1869. Feeds upon the undeveloped tassels of Indian corn. 



1870. Riley, C. V.— Idem. Amer. Ent. II., 329. Often found in 



company with fall army worm {Laphygma frugiperda, Guen.) 

 on ears of late Indian corn. Characters which distinguish 

 it from fall army worm. 



1871. Riley, C. V.— Idem. 3d Rep. St. Ent. Mo. pp. 104-109, 



figs. 42, 43. States that former belief that corn worms 

 were unable to feed on fully ripened corn is incorrect. Other 

 points chiefly compiled from Amer. Ent. I., 212 and II., 42. 



Glover, Townend. — Idem. Rep. Com. Agriculture, 1870, p. 

 84. Very injurious not only to cotton and Indian corn, but 

 to green peas, pumpkins, and tomatoes.
