﻿THE GRAPE LEAFHOPPER IN THE LAKE ERIE VALLEY. 43 



vinos for the remainder of the season by those that escape the spray 

 action will be very slight. 



In the vineyards of Ohio, west of Cleveland, and in the vineyards 

 of Michigan another species of grape leafhopper, Typhlocyba tricincta 

 (figs. 6 and 7, pp. 10, 11), is the predominant and destructive species. 

 The life history and habits of this species, however, are so nearly 

 identical with those of Typhlocyba comes that the remedial treatment 

 recommended for the latter can also be used with success against the 

 former, namely, the application of the tobacco-extract spray to the 

 nymphs at the time they appear in maximum numbers upon the 

 underside of the grape leaves, which for these States is during the 

 last few days in June or very early in July.
