Microlepidoptera and Their Para-
sites Reared From Field Collections
in the Northeastern United States

by

J. V. SCHAFFNER, Jr.,! Forest Insect and Disease Laboratory,
Northeastern Forest Experiment Station, Forest Service,
New Haven, Conn.

Introduction

Insect pests cause greater losses to our timber resource every year
than fire, traditionally the most dreaded enemy of our forests. Several
methods have been used to reduce this insect damage. One method
kills the insects with chemical sprays. Another uses silvicultural
practices to keep forest stands healthy and thus reduces their sus-
ceptibility to insect attack. A third utilizes predators and parasites
that attack the insects; this last method is called biological control.

This publication reports one phase of studies designed to acquire
new knowledge on the distribution, food plants, life histories, and
parasites of lepidopterous insects in Northeastern United States.
This kind of knowledge is basic for all methods of controlling forest
insect pests. The information contained in this report will be of
ae value to entomologists and students interested in biological
control.

These studies were begun in 1915 by the Bureau of Entomology
and Plant Quarantine at its laboratory at Melrose Highlands, Mass.,
to determine the native hosts of introduced parasites of the gypsy
moth (Porthetria dispar L.) and the brown-tail moth (Nygmia phaeor-
rhoea Donov.), and to determine the possible effect of these parasites
on the native hosts and their natural enemies. Data on the macro-
lepidoptera and their parasites reared from field collections were
published in U. S. Department of Agriculture Miscellaneous Publica-
tion 188 in July 1934. The data on the microlepidoptera and their
parasites as given in this report were accumulated, for the most
part, during the same period.

A great quantity of field-collected material was sent to the labo-
ratory by members of the field staff engaged in moth control work
and enforcement of quarantine regulations during the period 1915-35.

1 The late Mr. Schaffner retired in June 1953. During the period this study
was in progress, he was entomologist at the Melrose Highlands (Mass.) Laboratory
and the New Haven Station of the Division of Forest Insect Investigations,
Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine. The work of this division was
transferred to the_Forest Service when the Department of Agriculture was re-
organized in 1954.

1

Many Federal, State, and municipal officials also cooperated by
sending in miscellaneous collections. Since 1935, when the labor:tory
was moved to New Haven, Conn., the number of field collections
of native larvae has been greatly reduced.

The bulk of the material handled in these studies consisted of
larvae and a few pupae of macrolepidoptera, microlepidoptera,
Tenthredinoidea, and a few Coleoptera. Numerous hosts and their
parasites were reared, and considerable knowledge was acquired
about their life histories, habits, and abundance.

In the early years of these studies numerous parasites were reared
that were difficult to determine specifically until revisions had been
made on many of the groups. Many parasitic species, new to science,
were reared from the field collections; and as a result most of those
reared from the macrolepidoptera and many from the microlepidoptera
have been described and named by taxonomists. From the micro-
lepidoptera, however, a considerable number of the parasites reared,
and determined as new, have not been described and given species
names because the series of adults obtained were too few in number,
or the adults were all of one sex. In other series, because of the need
for revision, certain groups cannot be determined beyond the genus.

Considerable time has elapsed since much of the field work for
this study was done. ‘This time lapse has permitted taxonomists to
become more familiar with the particular insect groups, thus facilitat-
ing determination of many of the species.

Field Data Requested From the Collectors

Insect collections were mailed to the laboratory in mailing tubes
and each collection was accompanied by a note slip. Each collector
was requested to furnish the following information: (1) Date of
collection; (2) name of collector; (3) town and State where collection
was made; (4) host plant; (5) estimate of insect’s abundance; (6)
degree of defoliation, if any; (7) approximate area of infestation; and
(8) additional information of interest.

Methods of Handling Field Collections

Inasmuch as most of the insects received were still in the larval or
pupal stage, it was necessary to place them in rearing to permit
issuance of adults or parasites. Because of the differences in habits
of the various species received, and because of the lack of knowledge
concerning the hibernation requirements of many of them, it was
also necessary to use several types of cages. Undoubtedly some
species failed to reach maturity because of faulty handling or improper
hibernation facilities.

On arrival at the laboratory each collection was examined. The
specimens were counted whenever possible and placed in rearing
cages. Usually no attempt was made to count such insects as leaf
miners and bud and twig borers in the larval stage. Sometimes an
estimate was made of the number in a collection; at other times
adults, parasites, and dead larvae were counted when the experiment
was closed.

Attempts were always made to identify the insect in the larval stage
when such specimens were received. This was especially so when a

2

solitary larva or a collection containing only a few individuals was
received, since parasitization or disease might prevent determination
if identification was delayed for the emergence of adults. Further-
more, when a species was received for the first time one or more repre-
sentative larvae were inflated or placed in preserving solution for
future reference. These larvae were invaluable as aids in identifying
species that appeared in abundance only at long intervals, as well as
solitary larvae that were seldom found.

The type of cage used depended upon the number of larvae and
whether they required soil for pupation. Larvae that did not require
soil were placed in wooden trays with cloth bottoms and glass tops,
pasteboard boxes, small tin cans, or glass jars. Those that required
soil were placed in glass-covered metal trays with at least a part of the
bottom covered with fine mesh wire, or in various types of glass jars
and tin cans into which had been placed layers of sifted scil or peat
moss.

Each collection of larvae was supplied with its proper food and
eared for throughout the larval instars. From this time until all
possibility of adult emergence had passed, they were examined regu-
larly for issuance of adult parasites. Then containers with hiber-
nating material were stored during the late fall and winter, in a cool
place where temperature fluctuations were slight. During the spring
(and, for a few species, throughout the summer) this material was
examined regularly for issuance of adults and parasites.

Certain hymenopterous cocoons and larvaevorid puparia that nor-
mally pass the winter in the ground were successfully carried through
hibernation in glass cylinders with bottoms of plaster of paris, and
with clean sawdust as a substitute for soil. Glass vials with cotton
plugs were satisfactory as issuance containers for many species of
parasitic Hymenoptera, such as species of Apanteles, Bracon, Meteorus,
and others. The adults of the Larvaevoridae and the larger Hy-
menoptera were killed and pinned while fresh and given temporary
labels bearing the rearing number and date of issuance. The smaller
Hymenoptera, after being killed, were placed in small glass vials with
suitable labels, and were relaxed and pinned or placed on card points
during the following winter.

Parasitism and Hyperparasitism

Host insects, with very few exceptions, were collected while in the
immature or larval stages. Therefore, they had not been exposed to
the extremes of parasitization such as might have occurred had they
been left in their natural habitats. Parasites that emerge from larvae
in the early instars were likewise often missed because the bulk of the
collections were made when the larvae were from half to nearly full
srown. For the same reason, parasites that attack their bests during
the last larval instar or in the pupal stage also probably were missed.
Parasite cocoons and puparia formed after the arrival of their hosts at
the laboratory usually were not exposed to secondary parasites that
normally attack them in this stage under natural conditions. Such
species of hyperparasites as were reared from them, therefore, must
have attacked the primary parasite while within its host prior to the
time of collection. For the above reasons the parasite lists given here
are not to be considered complete for any of the hosts.

The Insect Lists

This report includes the names of host plants (common names
wherever possible) ; localities where collections were made (except for
common species where the States only are listed) ; data on life histories
(monthly occurrence of larvae, pupae, and adults); and a list of para-
sites reared.

The parasite list contains the names of the insect hosts from which
each species of parasite was reared, the localities and/or States where
the hosts were collected, and the months in which the adult parasites
issued. General information is also given on the usual number of
parasites per host and, for many species, the number of generations
per year, and the method of hibernation,

Two publications were used as guides to the systematic arrangement
for families, genera, and species of Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera:

1. Check list of the Lepidoptera of Canada and the United States.

ern California Academy of Sciences, v. 2, No.1. 1939.

C. W. Sabrosky of the Insect Identification and Parasite Introduc-
tion Laboratory, Entomology Research Branch, Agricultural Research
Service, prepared the systematic arrangement of the genera and species
of Diptera mentioned in this publication.

The following symbols have been used in this publication: (1) the
asterisk (*) to indicate the number of parasitized hosts, not the num-
ber of parasites (the latter being gregarious usually were not counted);
(2) the section mark (§) to indicate hyperparasites; (3) the single
dagger (+) to indicate that not all the larvae were counted—totals
were sometimes estimated; and (4) the double dagger (t) to indicate
the species so marked as the hibernating host.
