Description of ZEUGOPHORA REINECKEI. 



r.Y 



[Plate 1. Fig. G., a.] 



Seugophora Reineckei, n. sp. Entiixdy lioney-yellow, Avitli separated 

 and regular sliallow punctures, each of them giving rise to a single 

 hair. Thorax with a sti'ong lateral ])rojection before wliicli it is 

 exeavale, the sides i)arallel behind. Length 3 mnis. 



This si)eeles differs from puheruJa in color and in l)eing more 

 sparsely i)nnctate, while the thorax is more deei)ly excavate in front 

 before the lateral tubercle; from consanguinea it also differs in the 

 shajie of the thorax, color and scnl})ture. 



Several specimens taken on the silver po])lar about Buffalo, X. Y. 

 by Mr. Ottomar Reinecke, f(n- whom the species is named. 



FRUIT AND FARM. 



rriiE: OOI>LIINO 3XOTH. 



[CArvPOCAP.SA POMONKLLA.] 



The Codling Moth, like the cal)bage butterlly, {Pierix rapae,) is 

 "Imi)orte(l stock;" but, unlike the latter, its natural enemies not 

 being imported witb it, to keep it in check, its path of destruction 

 lias been ([uite unobstructed. The jjeculiar habits of this motli and 

 its larva render it ipiite safe from the attack of most bird and in- 

 sect enemies. 



The first moths leave their })ui)a case, where thev have lieen 

 sleeping for nine montlis, about the time the earliest ajjples are the 

 size of hazel nuts, and cimtinue to come for some time; others 

 come later in the season. 'I'he last of the first brood are i)robably 

 a month behind the first in i)iittiiig in their appearance. The same 

 may be said of the second brood. The female soon proceeds to lay 

 her eggs, probably 200, laying but a single c(:^g in the blossom end 

 of the fruit. If another moth has been ahead of her, she will not 

 deposit, but will find fresh fruit; dying soon after laying all her 

 eggs. The egg hatches and the young larvae finds a soft sjjot just 

 within the calvx to enter the fruit. Here it remains for a few davs.
