MISCELLANEOUS COTTON INSECTS. 
AULAOIZES IRKORATA Fab. 
(Fig. 33.) 
This species is also not uncommon on cotton. Mr. Lewis found it 
feeding on cotton at Terrell, July 2, 1904. Eggs 
were laid in a cotton stalk in the laboratory on 
July 6, one bunch of twelve and another of six- 
teen. The eggs hatched July 14, the young nymphs 
being nearly white. On July 15 eggs taken on 
cotton in the field had also been deposited in the 
stem. The eggs are laid in a row up and down 
the stalk just below the epidermis. In ovipositing, 
the female inserts her ovipositor just beneath the 
epidermis and deposits an egg^ then backs a little 
and deposits another until a slit about half an inch 
long, in which the eggs are laid, is formed. 
Adults were taken at trap light at College 
Station, May 27, 1904, and at Courtney, Tex.,
