  a

  viteana

  The 
  "grape 
  berry 
  moth," 
  which 
  

   sometimes 
  causes 
  trouble 
  locally 
  throughout 
  New 
  Jersey. 
  It 
  occurs 
  

   on 
  my 
  own 
  grounds 
  at 
  New 
  Brunswick, 
  and 
  I 
  have 
  seen 
  it 
  often 
  in 
  

   other 
  sections. 
  There 
  are 
  three 
  broods; 
  the 
  first 
  in 
  May, 
  destroying 
  

   the 
  entire 
  clusters; 
  the 
  second 
  late 
  in 
  July, 
  boring 
  into 
  and 
  webbing 
  

   up 
  the 
  half 
  -grown 
  berries; 
  the 
  third 
  in 
  late 
  August, 
  destroying 
  the 
  

   nearly 
  full-grown 
  berries. 
  Spraying 
  with 
  arsenate 
  of 
  lead 
  to 
  kill 
  off 
  

   the 
  first 
  brood 
  is 
  indicated.

  and 
  probably 
  abundant 
  where 
  its 
  food 
  

   plant 
  occurs 
  (Kf). 
  

  

  P.

  of 
  leaves. 
  

  

  P.

  The

  these 
  species 
  are 
  all 
  leaf 
  crumplers 
  or 
  tyers 
  occurring 
  in 
  

   May 
  and 
  June, 
  the 
  adults 
  from 
  mid 
  June 
  to 
  mid 
  July. 
  There 
  is 
  only 
  one 
  

   brood
