enters. The principal work is around the core of the pear. The 
larval stage lasts three weeks or nioi-e. and the pupal statue is passed 
within the fruit. The insect hibernates in the egg stage. The moth, 
larva, and pupa are illustrated

Opportunity is taken of pre- 
senting the reproduction of a 
photograph of apples injured 
by an insect, which in its larval 
stage somewhat reseml)les the 
codling moth, but which we 
have as yet failed to rear and 
identify. 
The injury was first brought 
to the attention of the Division 
of Entomology by Mr. D. W. 
Coquillett in October, VM)\. 
The apples furnished were pur- 
chased in open market in the 
city of Washington. The in- 
jur}" appeared to be almost ex- 
clusively on the outer surface, 
consisting in the cutting away 
of the skin and disfigurement 
of the apples and considerably 
depreciating their value as salalde articles (see PI. II. fig. "2). In 
some cases holes entering the fruit to the depth of about one-fourth of 
an inch w^ere found: in one apple to the depth of one-half inch. In 
November Dr. L. O. Howard also furnished specimens of apples 
showing injury by tlu* same s])ecies. One of the larva^ spun up and 
formed a cocoon Xov(Mnbcr (>. Unfortunately all tln^ larva' died with- 
out our securing the moths. The folhnving i)ricf description of the 
larva was made:
