40 MAINE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 1917. 



'Genus APLODES Guenee. 



Body of usual shape, blunt at the cephalic end, entire body 

 surface roughened with deep, indeterminate, impressed lines ; 

 a small portion of the labial palpi exposed caudad of the labrum ; 

 antennae extending beyond the caudal margin of the wings, 

 reaching the caudal margin of the transverse conjunctiva when 

 the body is expanded, each distal end curved slightly towards the 

 meson ; maxillae never quite reaching the caudal margin of the 

 wings, the tips of the metathoracic legs exposed just caudad of 

 them and between the distal ends of the antennae ; proximo- 

 lateral angles of the maxillae not extending to the eye-pieces ; 

 prothoracic leg extending cephalad between the sculptured eye- 

 piece and the antenna, about three-fourths the length of the 

 wings, the femur never exposed ; mesothoracic legs reaching the 

 caudal margin of the wings and slightly longer than the maxil- 

 lae; mesal length of prothorax two-thirds that of the mesotho- 

 rax ; opening of the mesothoracic spiracle on a slightly elevated 

 tubercle ; mesal length of the metathorax one-fourth that of the 

 mesothorax ; metathoracic wings showing a large triangular 

 piece adjacent to the second and third abdominal segments and 

 almost forming a right angle opposite the third abdominal seg- 

 ment ; abdominal spiracles almost circular in outline ; a dorsal 

 furrow never present between the ninth and tenth abdominal 

 segments ; sutures between all of the abdominal segments very 

 distinct ; cremaster broadly triangular, continuing the outline 

 of the body except for a slight constriction at its proximal end, 

 armed with eight hooked setae, of which the two mesal ones are 

 slightly longer.

Fig. 3, E. 



Body variously colored, usually grayish green, sometimes 

 yellowish brown, often tinged with reddish or orange shades, 

 always with a darker dorso-mesal stripe, and dotted with black 

 or dark brown, the bases of the setae conspicuously dark brown 

 or black ; cephalic end of body showing a small tubercle on the 

 meson just caudad of the proximal ends of the antennae ; proxi- 

 mal ends of the antennae slightly elevated and somewhat tuber-
