Prefatory Statement.

The publication of this volume by the State of New Jersey, at this
time, marks an era in the progress of the study of entomology, and
also shows how extensive the depredations of injurious insects have
become. So extensive, indeed, as to require a large annual expendi-
ture of time and money on the part of the farmer to overcome them ;
and also the necessity there is for study of this subject, not only by
those who are or expect to become farmers, but by every one who
expects to grow fruit-tree or vine, shade-tree or flower, as no plant
or tree is exempt from the ravages of some insect pest.

To make this work of greatest use, the Executive Committee of the
State Board of Agriculture have decided to send a copy to every
school teacher in the State of New Jersey who applies for it. Such
copy to be used by the scholars, under direction of the teacher, for
study and reference. The secretary of the various farmers’ organiza-
tions throughout the State will be supplied with a copy for use by the
members, and any family desiring a copy for study will be supplied
on request, so long as the edition lasts.

The Executive Committee hereby express their thanks to the
State Printing Board for granting their request to print this work,
believing that its study will be of much benefit to the fruit and agri-
cultural interests of the State.

Requests for copies should be addressed to

PART I.— INSECTS AND THEIR CONTROL.

CHAPTER I.

INTRODUCTORY.

At first blush a list of the insects occurring in the State of New
Jersey, including therein Staten Island, which belongs to it geo-
graphically if not politically, does not seem to have very much
economic value. Yet a little consideration will show that from
several points of view even a mere enumeration of the species is of
_ importance, and when we consider that insects are unevenly dis-
tributed, and that not all species extend throughout the State, it will
be readily recognized that some crops may be safely raised in one
locality which would be injured in another.

In some parts of our State we have a single brood only of the Cod-
ling moth. In others there is at least a partial second brood, and the
economic importance of this lies in the fact that whereas one or two
sprayings early in the season will protect the farmer where one
brood only occurs, it will require midsummer work and much more
thorough spring applications to prevent injury to the grower where
two broods are normal.

It becomes important also to ascertain in what proportion our
friends among the insects are present, and to get as far as possible a
fairly complete picture of the actual state of affairs in the insect
world, so far as it relates to the farmer.

When we consider the number of species that are enumerated here
it will be seen at once that any attempt to give even a brief descrip-
tion or some information concerning the life habits of each would
carry the book beyond all reasonable bounds; but this is not really
necessary, because, broadly speaking, all the species of the same
genus and generally of the same family have very similar life habits.
By introducting illustrations, therefore, of the injurious or beneficial
types in each group, supplemented by introductory notes to each
order, it is hoped that some knowledge can be given that will enable
the farmer who will take the trouble to do it, to tell whether he has

4 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

a harmless or an injurious insect to deal with. It is also by no means
a bad thing to bring to the general attention the vast number of
species that occur in so limited a territory, and it affords striking
evidence of the importance of information concerning these creatures
who do more harm each year than any one other adverse circum-
stance that the farmer has to contend against. It is a conservative
estimate to say that the farm crops in New Jersey ‘are annually
reduced 20 % by insect attack, and all of this reduction comes from
the farmer’s profits.

Some very general directions as to methods of treatment are also
interspersed under the headings to which they are most appropriate ;
that is, under ‘‘Scale Insects’’ will be found brief directions of the
method of dealing with insects of this character, and similarly other
injurious groups will be noted. It would carry me altogether too far
to write concerning the characters of the insects and how they may
be recognized; nevertheless, some account of their development and
the modification that they have undergone in reaching their present
state may prove interesting, and a short chapter is devoted to that
purpose.

Though it is important that some knowledge of the anatomy and
physiology of insects should be possessed in order to understand how
insecticides act, this subject cannot be included here, and the curious
student who desires to know concerning these matters is referred to
my book on ‘‘Kconomic Entomology,’’ in which all these matters
will be found set forth in detail. There is, however, a brief chapter
on the common insecticides, their range of usefulness, and the
methods of application that have approved themselves in practice.

Although New Jersey ranks as a small State in this great country
of ours, it nevertheless presents a great diversity in the character of
its soils, and in the geologic formation. Ranging from the sandy
plains in the southern part of the State through the red shale belt in
its center, to the hilly north, we find conditions favorable to a great
diversity of plant and insect life ; and, while the actual climatic differ-
ence in degrees may not seem very startling, yet it is nevertheless the -
fact that the red shale belt, which has been already referred to, does
separate two rather distinct faunal regions, economically considered.

No very great space need be taken in describing the general sur-
face characteristics of New Jersey. The Geological Survey of the
State has done that in the most thorough and acceptable manner pos-
sible, and the clearest conception of the matter can be gained by
introducing a reduced copy of the relief map prepared in 1896. It has
been considered advisable, however, to add a list of the localities

CATALOGUE OF INSECTS. D

cited that the general character of the surroundings under which the
insects occur may be more clearly set out.

Finally, it becomes my very great pleasure to acknowledge the
assistance that I have received from entomologists and collectors, not
only of our own State, but of the neighboring States of New York
and Pennsylvania. ‘The members of the Newark Entomological
Society, the American Entomological Society, the Feldman Social
and the New York Entomological Society have all placed at my dis-
posal their individual and collective experience, and to all of them I
wish to make grateful acknowledgment. Special mention must be
made of those gentlemen who have kindly prepared the manuscript
in certain of the orders or families from their own experience, sup-
plemented by data that I supplied to them; thus Mr. Wm. H.
Ashmead, Assistant Curator of Insects in the United States National
Museum, has prepared in its entirety the chapter upon the Hymen-
optera ; Mr. C. W. Johnson, Curator of the Wagner Free Institute,
in Philadelphia, has prepared in its entirety the chapter on the
Diptera. Professor Herbert Osborn, of Columbus, Ohio, has pre-
pared in its entirety the list of Homoptera. Professor P. P. Calvert,
of the University of Pennsylvania, has prepared the list in the
Odonata. Dr. Wm. G. Dietz, of Hazleton, has furnished the list of
the Zzneina in the Lepidopteva. Professor Lawrence Bruner, of the
University of Nebraska, has kindly revised my manuscript in the
Orthoptera and has determined a great many species. Dr. Harrison
G. Dyar, of the United States National Museum, has kindly made
suggestions on the general arrangement and classification of the
Lepidoptera, and while I have not accepted his views in all cases,
nevertheless the general system used in this work is that suggested by
him. In the Coleoptera, Mr. H. W. Wenzel, of Philadelphia, has
been of the greatest possible assistance, and it needs only a glance
over the list to see how much it is indebted in that order to the tire-
less work done by him on the insect fauna of our State. It would be
a pleasure to me to mention here individually all those who have
been so kind as to aid in the preparation of this work, which is far
beyond the compass of any one individual, so far as the accumulation
of facts is concerned ; but as this is not convenient, special acknowl-
edgments are made under the separate orders or in the explanation
of abbreviations used.

It has been aimed to make the list as complete as possible, and to
give only actual records ; but it has not been found practical to carry
out this ideal in all respects. Collections in some of the orders are
still so fragmentary that a mere list of what has been actually taken

6 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

would give no sort of conception of the actual fauna. In such cases
species that are known to occur in the general faunal region to which
New Jersey belongs have been included, and as a rule the distribution
of such insects, as recorded in the books, has been given.

Very great care has been exercised in getting accurate determin-
ations in all orders, and doubtful records in the previous edition have
been verified so far as possible ; but it is probable that some errors yet
remain and others may have crept in anew.

Concerning the sequence of species in the orders, that is not quite
as variable as in the previous list, most of them being now catalogued
from the highest to the lowest ; but in some instances the last word
on the subject is yet a long way off.

I have credited almost every record received, and all not so credited
should be charged to me. ‘The collections made for the college and
experiment station at New Brunswick are now very fair, and many
localities credited to others could have been supplied from them; but
I have preferred throughout to add on my own authority only such
data as was additional or supplementary to that furnished by others.
All the economic notes and suggestions are my own.

Finally it is hoped that a very much more useful work than that
prepared in 1889 at the request of the late Dr. George H. Cook has
been produced.

DEVELOPMENT OF INSECTS.

Insect life was among the earliest that appeared on the earth. Just
when it did appear, or what it was like at first, we cannot say
definitely, because soft-bodied creatures without bones or chitinous
external skeleton are not readily preserved in the rock, or, when
present, are easily overlooked if not absolutely irrecognizable. We
are therefore driven to more or less theoretical conclusions, based
upon what has been found in the rocks and upon what still exists
with us.

We find reason to believe then that the primitive insect from which
the vast variety now existing has been developed was a small, soft-
bodied creature, living in mud or in moist earth along the banks of
bodies of water. It had six legs, no wings, probably abdominal
appendages other than legs, no compound eyes or no eyes at all, and
no developed breathing system; taking in oxygen from the sur-
rounding moisture through all parts of the skin surface. The head
was not much differentiated from the rest of the body and the mouth
parts were generalized, z.e., neither typically fitted for biting nor for
piercing, though three or four pairs of fleshy processes contained the
possibilities of both types. Creatures very much like that just
described exist at the present time and form part of the order 7hysa-
mura. In some of the forms of that order now existing mandibles
occur, and in others they are, if present at all, in the form of straight
processes, unfitted for chewing. These insects have no metamor-
phosis and usually live in damp places, feeding on decaying substances.

Our primitive Thysanurans developed first of all into two branches
according to mouth structure—some becoming fitted for chewing
their food, while others became fitted to puncture and suck. In
both of these branches wings developed, quite different in type, yet
with a similar scheme in venation; Cicada, according to Comstock,
representing a most generalized condition.

The little order 7hysanoptera has the mouth fitted for puncturing
or scraping the leaf surface, getting at the plant juices in that way,
while the wings are long, narrow, frail and with long fringes, from
which the ordinal name is derived. They are unfavorably known to
the farmers as Thrips, and they often do serious injury to field crops
like onions and cabbage, and to nursery peach trees.

A step forward is made in the Rhyngo/a, in which the mouth parts
are developed into slender lancets fitted for piercing and protected by

8 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

a beak. These creatures are able to puncture plant and other tissue
and to suck the juices, vegetable or animal, as the case may be. The
Parasitica contains those forms without wings, adapted to live among
the hair on the blood of certain vertebrates, and here the beak is not
developed or is lost, the piercing lancets being retractile into the
head.

The order Homoptera, another of the divisions of the Rhyngota,
contains the plant lice, scale insects, leaf hoppers and mealy bugs,
hence is, in its entirety, injurious to the agriculturist. The wings
when they are present are always of similar texture throughout,
though the two pairs may not be alike.

The Hemiptera have the upper pair of wings thickened at the
base and thin or membraneous at the tip, and this gives them the
name half-winged. They are the true ‘‘bugs’’ of the entomologist
and contain such forms as the ‘‘chinch bug,’’ ‘‘squash bug,’’ ‘‘ bed
bug.’’ The great majority of all these bugs are injurious to plant
life, though in some groups a predatory habit has developed.

None of the Riyngota have a true metamorphosis or transforma-
tion, though the males of the scale insects make an approach to it.
The little bug just out of the egg resembles its parents in all save
size, absence of wings and lack of sexual development.

Taking it all in all the sucking branch of the insects is small com-
pared to that in which mandibles were developed, for the possession
of jaws or biting structures opened up a much greater range of food-
getting possibilities.

With the development of wings the thoracic segments which bear
the organs of locomotion became modified. At first all the segments
were similar to each other, and one series retained this peculiarity,
all the rings being of practically equal importance. These are all
loose-jointed frail forms, with large transparent wings.

A departure was made when the second and third segments which
bear the wings became united together for more compact muscular
attachments and the first segment or prothorax was left free.

The highest specialization was reached when all three of the
thoracic segments united to form a compact body supporting all the
organs of locomotion.

These different modifications once started tended to become intensi-
fied, and there is little difficulty now in recognizing the orders belong-
ing to each series,

Perhaps the simplest type in general structure are the /soptera,
including what are generally known as white ants. These creatures
are soft-bodied, loose-jointed, all the thoracic rings well developed,

and altogether primitive in appearance. The wings are large and
frail, net-veined, not united in flight and not folded when at rest.
Yet while in general structure these insects are of the simplest, they
have become very highly specialized socially, living in immense com-
munities and developed into special castes like workers, soldiers and
fully developed sexed individuals. The workers have no eyes, but
have interesting and peculiar sensory structures that serve them as
well in their underground life. Only one species occurs in New
Jersey, and that is not injurious to growing crops.

The Mallophaga are the biting lice, and they have the same gen-
eral form as in the white ant workers, though more flattened and in
general adapted to their parasitic mode of life. They occur most
abundantly on birds, including the domesticated varieties, but are
also found on cattle and horses. Wings are never developed in this
order, and, as in the /sopfera, the transformations are incomplete.

The Corrodentia mark a step in advance, but are still soft-bodied
and loose-jointed. The book lice are a common type found in houses
and resemble the biting lice in form; but they are very active and
run rapidly. Some forms develop wings, and those, though broad
and very peculiarly net-veined, are not folded when at rest.

The NMeuroptera or insects with net-veined wings mark a distinct
advance. The larve yet retain the general form of the worker
white ant, but the body is much broader and the jaws are better
developed, for most of the species are predatory. These larvee are
known as Ant lions and Aphis lions because of their habit of feed-
ing on these insects ; but they attack also a great variety of other
species and are highly beneficial. The larvee when full grown form
a true pupa, which remains quiescent until the winged adult emerges
and the transformation is thus complete. These adults have gener-
ally slender, long bodies, with very large wings which are laid flat
when at rest and not folded. The lace-winged flies are common
examples of this order and they may bestirred up in rank vegetation
anywhere in summer. Their green color, very delicate lace-like
wings and foul odor will identify them readily. As a whole this
order is very near to the series with compact thorax in which a dis-
tinct neck is developed.

It will be noted that all the orders referable to this first series with
similarly developed thoracic segments are terrestrial in all stages,
and none of them live in or under water.

The second series of the mandibulates is that in which the first
segment of the thorax became separated from and moveable upon the
second, while the second and third became closely united. In all

10 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE

cases the head is set into this first segment and there is never a'dis-
tinct neck between them. ;

This series branched early in two main divisions, one of them
adapted to living on land, the other living in or under water.

The Plecoptera or plaited winged forms, known as stone flies, have
the wings net-veined, and the hind wings are folded or plaited
beneath the fore wings when they are at rest. The larvz live under
stones in water, breathing by means of gill tufts, and they are not in
any way important to the agriculturist. Their transformations are
incomplete.

A step forward is made in the Platyptera, where the transforma-
tions become complete. In general appearance these are not unlike
the stone-flies, but are larger and more stoutly built. The wings
are folded in much the same way and the insects are known as “‘ fish-
flies,’? some of them of very large size and formidable appearance.
The larvze live on the bottom of streams and under stones, breathing
through gill tufts. One of the largest is known as the ‘‘dobson”’ or
‘‘hellgrammite.’’ Neither of these forms is of the least importance
to the farmer unless he is also a fisherman: then he is interested to
know that the ‘‘hellgrammite’’ is ideal bait for black bass.

In the terrestrial division the roaches became first developed and
from them the other members of the order Orthoptera or straight-
winged insects. These include besides roaches, the grasshoppers,
katydids and crickets, hence are of great importance to the agri-
culturist. All these Orthoptera have the fore-wings narrow, unfitted
for flight and serving chiefly as covers for the large secondaries which
are folded fan-like beneath them. The transformations are incom-
plete.

Some of the earlier roaches had, and indeed some of those yet liv-
ing have, the hind wings folded transversely, and from this type we
derive the Dermoptera and Coleoptera.

The Dermopiera or earwigs are scarce in our State, though they
are injurious in some European countries ; but they resemble small,
short-winged beetles, with a curious forceps-like anal appendage
which they use in tucking their large hind wings under the short
wing-covers. To enable them to do this the hind wing is hinged at
the middle of the front margin and around this hinge the plaits radiate
so that the whole can be tucked into a little packet.

The Coleoptera or sheath-winged insects, commonly called beetles,
are of the utmest importance to the farmer. ‘They have the fore
wings hardened so as to be useless for purposes of flight, and they are
laid on the back so that the inner edges meet in a straight line down

the middle. The omnipresent potato beetle may serve as an example
of this order, and also as an indication that the larval as well as
adult stages of the Coleoptera may be and usually are injurious.
The transformation is complete.

The third and last of the mandibulate series is that in which all the
thoracic rings are joined together, the first segment or prothorax
becoming much reduced in size. The head is now free from the
thorax and united to it only by a slender neck. A fly, a bee or a
butterfly will at once show what this neck is like, if only casually
examined.

The ancestry of this series began in aquatic forms passing the larval
stages under water, and the Ephemerida or day flies are probably the
earliest of the types. These insects pass their larval life under water
in the mud, in immense numbers, and when full-grown change to a
frail, gossamer-winged creature that is called a day fly because of its
very brief or ephemeral life. It appears in the early evening, seeks a
mate, deposits its eggs if a female, and dies before morning. Most
of the species have slender anal filaments, and when at rest hold the
‘ wings upright like butterflies. The metamorphosis is incomplete and
the insects are of no importance to the farmer.

The Odonata or dragon flies are also aquatic in the larval stage,
and in their day were very numerous and well developed. Among
our fossil species are some in which the wings expanded from 15 to
18 inches or even more, and there was at that time a reason why
primitive man should fear the ‘‘ devil’s darning-needles.’’ They have
two pairs of similar wings which are net-veined and they are predatory
in habit. The larvze live in the mud in ponds and among water
plants, feeding upon any soft-bodied creature that comes in their way.
The transformations are incomplete and the order is a peculiar one,
forming the end of a line which has no descendants.

The Zphemerida, however, did develop in two ways—one to a
caterpillar-like larva living in mud and moist places generally, the
other toward a caterpillar-like larva living in the water and building
a tube or case for protection. The latter are the TZvichoptera or
““caddice flies,’ the wings of the adults covered with hair, the

hinder pair folded under the anterior. The larve are predatory in
some cases, vegetarians in others; but in neither instance important
to the agriculturist. Their cases are made of sticks, stones or other
fragments and some of them are beautifully done, resembling shells
so closely as to deceive even collectors at first sight. The adults
usually fly at night, are attracted to light and have very long, slender
antenne,

12 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

Direct descendants from the T7richoptera are the Lepidoptera or
scale-winged insects including the butterflies and moths. Many of
the caterpillars of the lower forms of the moths still are aquatic and
live in cases, while many others that no longer live in the water yet
make cases, the common clothes moth larva being an easily secured
example. The Lepzdoptera have the transformations complete, the
larvee, known as caterpillars, being vegetable feeders with few excep-
tions, while the adults, butterflies or moths are harmless, the man-
dibles becoming rudimentary and the maxilla formed into a long
coiled tube for sucking liquids. By this coiled tongue and the scaly
wings the Lepidoptera can be easily recognized at all times.

The mud or earth living larvze developed at once into terrestrial
types and the oldest and most generalized of these are the Mecoptera
or scorpion flies. They derive their common name from the fact that
in the males many of them are furnished with a prominent anal
forceps curved upward like the tail of a scorpion, though it is entirely
harmless. The wings are long and rather narrow, net-veined and
not folded. They are peculiar in having the mouth parts prolonged
into a beak-like structure in which the parts are very much divided, |
and their habits are predatory.

There is no very obvious connection between the remaining orders
and any of the others, their descent from the Mecoptera type being
incapable of demonstration from living forms so far as known to me.

The Hymenoptera contain the bees, wasps, ants, saw flies, ichneu-
mon flies and the like and, among them we find the very highest
types of social organization and the extreme of intellectual develop-
ment among insects. The mouth parts are in many cases elongated
to enable the insects to gather the nectar of flowers, and they have
four transparent wings with comparatively few veins. The trans-
formation is complete, and in many instances the larva is dependent
for its food upon the supply gathered by the parent. Most‘of them
are beneficial; but there are some injurious groups, e¢. g.,, the
saw flies.

The Diptera, or flies, can be always recognized by having two
wings only, the hinder pair having become rudimentary, serving at
present as poisers or balancers instead of organs of flight. Their
larvee are mostly grub-like or maggots, and, while there is no develop-
ment of social or intellectual characters, the flies are in their trans-
formations and physical structure at the head of the insect world.
They contain both injurious and beneficial species, and their mouth
parts are adapted for either lapping, as in the common house fly, or
for piercing and sucking, as in the equally common mosquito.

An offshoot from the order Diptera, which has become partly para-
sitic, we find in the fleas, for which the ordinal term Szphonoptera
is used. They are wingless, laterally compressed, and live as adults
on warm blooded, hair or fur coated animals.

In a graphic form the scheme of classification and development is
shown on the accompanying diagram. (See page 14.)

For convenience in cataloguing, the sequence of the orders is mod-
ified so that all the Neuropterous forms are grouped together, irre-
spective of the series to which they belong in point of development.

CHAPTER IIT.
INJURY CAUSED BY INSECTS.

The fact that farm crops are annually shortened to a considerable
extent by insect attack is common knowledge; the percentage of
injury has been variously estimated from to % to 50 %, and both are
accurate and yet incorrect, for injury varies in the same locality and
on the same crop from year to year. Asan example, the pea crop in
1899 was in many sections of our State cut from 10 % to 30 % by a
plant louse which had never before done any appreciable injury and
had not been even described ; it is not probable that without a dupli-
cation of the weather conditions existing in the spring of that year, a
similar percentage of injury will occur for a long time to come. In

“some seasons the melon plant louse destroys the crop completely over

large areas, while in others there is little injury noticeable. Thus
the percentage varies with the years and with the species ; but there
are no years when some crop does not suffer heavily, and some
species, like the codling moth and plum Curculio, exact toll annually ;
so we will be easily within bounds if we estimate the annual short-
ening of farm crops in our State as ranging from 20 % to 25 %. Itis
also important to note that this injury is more severe than the figures
would indicate, since the shortage is largely the Arvofit. The cost of
planting, fertilizing, cultivating, and often of harvesting, is the
same; what is gone is the 20 % or 25 % that would have been almost
clear profit had it been there.

Insect injury may be either to quantity or to quality of the crop,
and the importance of the latter is not sufficiently understood. A

_ basket of wormy apples costs to put into market exactly as much as

a basket of first-class fruit; yet the difference in price in a full
market often equals 50 % and sometimes even more. Corn that is
gnawed by caterpillars or cantaloupes undersized and sooty from plant-
lice attack are left unsold until nothing better is attainable, or is pur-

chased only because the price is much below what better products are

bringing. Sightliness goes a long way with the average buyer, and

quality is often secondary if a product is perfect in form. I have

emphasized this point, because it is one in which the greatest im-

_ provement can be effected and in which the percentage of loss can be

much decreased.

“>

Insect injury to quantity is much the most obvious and is the one

' most usually complained of by the farmer. A striking example of

16 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

this kind of loss I saw recently in a plum orchard of about 200 trees
which had been in bearing condition for six or seven years. Each
year the trees blossomed well, set their fruit well, and in July
dropped every plum, filled with Curculio larve! In five years not
five bushels of fruit were harvested from all the trees! This is
an extreme case; but similar ones are not rare, and the fruit grower
does not suffer alone. In 1898 and 1899 more than one grain farmer
failed to get even his seed back from his wheat fields, because of injury
done by the Hessian fly.

All parts of a plant are subject to insect attack. Caterpillars,
slugs and grubs, beetles, bugs and lice attack and devour the leaves
or suck the plant juices. Borers infest the twigs, branches, trunks
or stems of tree and vegetable, and numerous types live in the soil
on or near the roots—like white grubs and wire-worms. Mandibu-
late or biting insects devour the plant tissue, while haustellate or
sucking forms drain the juices which nourished it. The distinction
is important, for the means adapted to destroy the one type are some-
times useless as against the other: Thus paris green applied on
potato leaves kills the beetle and its larvae when they feed on them ;
but it has not the slightest effect upon the plant lice that suck only
the juices. Therefore we must adapt our remedial measures to the
case especially in hand, and our first inquiry must always be just

how, just when and just where does the insect do its injury. When ~

these questions are satisfactorily answered we can more intelligently
consider the best methods of preventing or checking further ravages.
Sometimes a modification of the ordinary farm practice will suffice
to secure exemption from further attack, while if insecticides must
be resorted to, the point or stage at which to strike is a matter of
great importance. —

On ordinary farm crops annually put in, the insect injury is
usually all crowded into the compass of a single year: 2. e., the
melon crop is lessened from 50 % to 100 % over a given district, and
this loss is the measure of damage. There is nothing that prevents
putting in a similar crop the year following and no certainty that any
such disaster will again overtake it, even if no measures in avoid-
-ance be taken.

In orchards injury may be and often is progressive, as when
bearing trees are attacked by borers which first lessen the crop and
eventually destroy the tree. Here the measure of damage is the value
of the bearing tree for the period which is required to bring another
into similar condition, and the injury extends over a period of years.

Briefly, then, all farm and orchard crops are subject to insect attack —

i al

and consequent injury. All parts of a plant or tree may be attacked,
and either the tissue destroyed or the juices drained. The damage
done may be either by destroying the plant or lessening the value of
the product. The function of the economic entomologist is to indicate
to the agriculturist the method of checking or altogether preventing
this damage, or of reducing it as much as possible. In the following
list some idea is given of the number and character of the species,
injurious as well as beneficial, and of the other host that is of no
economic importance though filling its place in nature’s plan of con-
stant change of matter from inorganic to organic and from vegetable
to animal; only to return eventually to the inorganic compounds in
condition to start anew on the cycle of change.

CHAPTER IV.

INSECTICIDES AND THEIR RANGE.

Nothing so forcibly demonstrates the importance of checking or
reducing insect injury, as the number of patented or proprietary
insecticides that have been of late years put upon the market, and
the great variety of machinery for its application that has been
devised and is being constantly manufactured.

Insecticides are of two general types—those that kill by being
eaten or stomach poisons, and those that kill by corroding the tissue
or clogging the spiracles or breathing pores, z. e., contact poisons.
The distinction is an important one, for while contact poisons may
kill insects of any kind, stomach poisons kill only such as eat the
tissue upon which the poison is spread. Thus the apple tree cater-

pillar may be readily killed’ by an arsenical spray which poisons its

food, while the plant lice clustering on the same shoot will be entirely
unaffected.

Arsenic in one or the other of its combinations is the chief stomach
poison, and paris green is the form in which it is most commonly
used. Paris green is, strictly speaking, an aceto arsenite of copper,

manufactured as a coloring material and not primarily for insecticide

purposes. When pure and well made it contains from 50 % to 60 %
of arsenious acid combined in such a way as to be practically insol-
uble in cold water. Arsenious acid soluble in water is as destructive
to plant as to animal tissue and will ‘‘burn’’ foliage at a strength
necessary to kill the insects feeding upon it. Combined with copper
or lime it is insoluble in water and therefore harmless to plant life,
though yet soluble in the digestive juices of insects and therefore
fatal to them. It is slightly soluble in warm water, hence, when
sprayed liberally on a plant in the hot sunshine, the water becoming
heated before evaporation dissolves some of the acid and causes a
burning effect. Applications are best made, therefore, in the morning
or evening, or on a cool day.

When applied dry it may be either dusted very finely on the plant
surface to be protected, or it may be mixed with lime, plaster, flour
or other material and applied more freely, yet not in such intimate
contact with the plant. Good paris green, well made, may be safely
applied pure or unmixed on a dry foliage or one moist with cold
water, provided it is spread in an even, thin layer. Indeed, this is
really the most effective way it can be employed on low plants.

Pee Cet ye 6h ween»

When mixed with air-slaked lime or plaster, one part in fifty is a good
proportion, and it may then be very freely used.

Spraying means the application of a watery mixture in very fine
particles, by means of a pump, through a nozzle adapted to secure
this fine division of the liquid under pressure.

Paris green is or should be insoluble in water, hence we can get at
best oniy a suspension of its particles in water. When this mixture
is sprayed on a plant the water evaporates and leaves a film of dry
green on the surface which is evenly spread in proportion to the care
with which the application was made, and dense in proportion to the
amount of poison contained inthe mixture. The plant is thus really
coated with dry paris green and the water is used merely to facilitate
its even distribution. A very usual proportion is one pound of Paris
green in 150 gallons of water, and this, if thoroughly applied, kills
most of the leaf-feeding insects in their early stages and a large pro-
portion of them in all stages. Ifastronger mixture is used, unslaked
lime, equal in weight to the paris green, should be added and lime
and green slaked together in a small quantity of water to combine
the free or soluble arsenious acid.

As usually prepared, paris green is crystallized for use as a pigment
and, the particles being relatively large and heavy they sink rapidly
to the bottom in a watery mixture, which necessitates a constant
stirring to keep it in suspension, and makes its even application a
matter of some difficulty, with ordinary farm labor.

The crystallized form, though necessary in the pigment is a positive
disadvantage in the insecticide, as well as an addition to the cost of
manufacture, hence there has been recently placed upon the market
an arsenite of copper or ‘‘Green Arsenoid,’’ which, at a cost of 15
cts. per lb., is more effective and reliable than the ordinary run of
paris green. It contains about 62 % of arsenious acid and is manu-
factured by the Adler Color and Chemical Works, 100 William street,
New York. This material has the unqualified endorsement of those
entomologists who have experimented with it, and its advantages are
its more uniform strength, finer division and much lighter particles, so
that it remains in suspension much more easily than normal paris
green. It is said to be entirely harmless to foliage. This company
make also a pink arsenoid and a white arsenoid which are cheaper,
but concerning which I know too little to recommend their use.

White arsenic is probably the cheapest form of the poison, but
also the most dangerous to plant life. It has been used, combined
with two or three times its own weight in lime to form an insoluble
arsenite of lime, in from 250 to 400 gallons of water, and it has been

20 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

used in combination with soda; but the latter mixture must be pre-
pared by boiling, and I doubt whether it would not cost in ordinary
hands more than the saving in first cost of materials over the green
arsenoid. I have not had personal experience with these substances
sufficient to recommend their use.

Arsenate of lead is in a different case and this has proved in my
experience to be much preferable to paris green, because of the ease
with which it remains in suspension and. its absolute harmlessness to
foliage at any strength. The material is prepared by dissolving
arsenate of soda and acetate of lead in separate vessels and then
combining the solutions.

The formula is:

Arsenate, of ‘Sodat (yj te ee cen secre 4 ounces.
Acetate of lead (sugar of lead), ..... II ounces.

Dissolve both substances in separate vessels, using sufficient water
to take it all up, no definite amount being essential. Then combine
the two in a large tank and add water to make from 80 to 100 gallons,
stirring thoroughly. At 80 gallons the mixture corresponds to paris
green 1 pound in 125 gallons, and this is sufficient for all but the more
resistant forms, which require all arsenites in much stronger mixtures.
A great advantage in using this compound is that it is always uni-
form in strength, and when once the farmer has found just what
proportion is most successful for his especial purpose, he can rely

upon a similar effect, so long as he is careful to make up his materials —

in the same way. Another feature is its harmlessness to any foliage
at any strength; hence plants like sweet potatoes may be dipped in it
before being set out, and thus protected against attacks of the sweet-
potato flea, or the ‘‘ golden beetles’’ or ‘‘ peddlers,’’ which often do
much injury before the plants get a fair start.

Arsenate of lead in dry form has been prepared and advertised; but
the product is not satisfactory, and in that condition has lost one of
its most valuable features, z. ¢., easy suspension in water; it is, in-
deed, very heavy and precipitates much more rapidly than paris
green. A paste form of arsenate of lead is made by Wm. H. Swift
& Co., Boston, Mass., and this has the endorsement of Mr. A. H.
Kirkland, of the Gypsy Moth Committee in Massachusetts. H. L.
Frost & Co., 21 South Market street, Boston, Mass., sell the separate
chemicals at a reasonable rate. No doubt any large dealer in such
products in New York or Philadelphia would make satisfactory
prices; but drug-store prices in small towns or villages would be pro-
hibitive. I strongly recommend farmers to become familiar with this
material.

London purple is a waste product much used at one time and with
advantage in many cases ; but it was never very favorably considered
by farmers generally because of its variability and its tendency to
burn foliage: hence it need not be further considered here. The
green arsenoid has all its advantages and none of its bad features.

Another form of using the arsenical poisons may be conveniently
mentioned here, z. ¢., dry and mixed with bran. Wheat bran seems
to be peculiarly attractive to caterpillars, especially cut-worms, who
will eat it in preference to their usual green food, and this weakness
we may take advantage of to their undoing. Mix paris green, white
arsenic or green arsenoid, 1 pound, with bran 50 lbs., making the
mixture as complete as possible so that each particle of bran may
carry its particle of poison. Against cabbage wormis, especially the
loopers, sprinkle over the forming head liberally the dry mixture.
Against cut-worms a spoonful at the base of each hill to be protected
will be effective. In my experience it is better to moisten the bran
by adding water enough to make a mush, using also a little molasses
to make it somewhat sticky and causing it to remain moist the longer,
when cut-worms are to be killed. There is then no danger of the
material blowing away or becoming covered with sand, while the
sweet stuff seems to make it either more attractive or more easily dis-
covered.

When an arsenical spray is to be used on a very smooth leaf, or one
that, like cabbage, sheds a watery mixture, the addition of 1 pound
of soap to every 40 or 50 gallons of water will be an advantage,
while it will do no harm in any case. Once thoroughly applied,
arsenic remains on the foliage a long time. It settles into the pores
of the leaf, and, as it is not soluble, remains there for weeks. It is
this fact that sometimes causes a premature ripening or dropping of
the leaves of sprayed trees, and this also makes the arsenate of lead
so lasting in its effects, because the very fine particles settle every-
where, while they do not so seriously interfere with the functions of
the leaf as do the larger crystals of paris green.

The bordeaux mixture is not, strictly speaking, an insecticide; yet
few insects care to eat foliage covered with it, hence it serves as a re-
pellant.

The formula is as follows :

UL Se Ses SN Se a on ar 4 pounds.

22 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

lime slowly to the copper solution, stirring constantly, and strain
through a sieve or coarse gunny-sack ; finally, add 20 gallons of
water and the mixture is ready for use. ‘This gives the standard, full-
strength mixture, which can be reduced by the addition of water to
any desired point.

Paris green, green arsenoid or white arsenic may be added to this
bordeaux mixture where a combined insecticide and fungicide is
desired, and for insecticide purposes the fungicide may be counted as
so much water in determining the amount of poison to be added.
The excess of lime in the bordeaux mixture as prepared above is
sufficient to neutralize the free arsenious acid in the insecticides. It
is said that the arsenate of lead may also be used with the bordeaux
mixture, but with this I have no personal experience and do not
advise it. The green arsenoid is the best material for the purpose
from its composition.

No other fungicide preparation adapts itself to a safe mixture with
the arsenical insecticides and no other combinations are recommended.

Tobacco and hellebore have some value as stomach poisons, yet
their best effect is obtained by bringing them into actual contact
with the insects.

Hellebore has a very limited range and is mainly useful against the
larvee of saw-flies, like the currant worm, and against such it is
almost a specific. It may be applied dry, as a powder or in the form
of a decoction, using one or two ounces in one gallon of water, ac-
cording to the age of the insects operated against.

Tobacco has a much wider range of usefulness and is really a very
important insecticide, though somewhat expensive. It may be applied
dry, as a very fine powder, or in the form of a decoction. The
tobacco powder is often a useful repellant applied at the base of trees
or plants to avoid injury from root maggots or borers, and dug into
the soil about a tree infested with root lice it is doubly useful in
destroying the insects and acting as a fertilizer.

Tobacco stems about the base of trees are absolutely useless and a
detriment rather than otherwise. The killing agent is nicotine, and
the tobacco must be in such state that a good rain will dissolve this
all out and bring it into contact with underground pests—otherwise
no advantage will be derived.

If used dry against plant lice it must be very finely grotind to pene-
trate into the spiracles ; otherwise it is no more than so much coarse
sawdust.

Its range as. a decoction is much greater and extends to all plant
lice, to thrips, mealy bugs, young leaf hoppers and some other soft-

a

bodied sucking insects. It has also been used against certain cater-
pillars and leaf beetles, but against these the arsenites are usually
better. A useful decoction is 1 lb. of tobacco refuse, chopped stems,
&c., to 1 gallon of water, boiled until a deep brown extract is ob-
tained. This may be used full strength or may be more or less
diluted according to the resisting power of the insects. Several pre-
pared decoctions or extracts are on the market and at least two of
these, z. e., Hammond’s tobacco preparation, and the Rose leaf extract
are satisfactory in their effects. The Rose leaf extract is used quite
extensively in greenhouses, and, so far as I have learned, always with
good effect. In greenhouses the extract is evaporated on the hot pipes
and a slow fumigation is thus maintained. Details are out of place
here, but in general tobacco is useful chiefly against plant lice and
certain other forms of sucking insects as a contact poison.

Pyrethrum, or Persian or Dalmatian powder, is too expensive for

field use, its range of action being fully covered by cheaper substances;
but in the house and small conservatory it is the cleanest and most
satisfactory material against plant lice, mealy bugs and similar pests.
Make into a decoction, or steep I ounce in 1 quart of hot water; when
cold add a quart of cold water, using as a spray, from an atomizer
or the like. It is entirely harmless to plant life, but peculiarly fatal
to insects.
» Crude petroleum has of late been found to be especially effective
against armored scales hibernating as partly grown larve, while
entirely harmless to dormant trees. It cannot be used in summer
because of its choking action among the leaves, but it may be used
on the bark alone at any time, and in winter the dormant tree may
be safely painted from crown to the surface without harm to either
the tree or the resulting crop.

It can be used with an emulsion sprayer, like kerosene, and may be
used at any time, provided only the trees are dry.

Kerosene, one of the distillates from crude petroleum, is much
more dangerous to plant life, yet has a much greater range of useful-
ness, because it may be used in summer. Pure kerosene is fatal to
all insects not especially adapted to live in it, and, fromits penetrating
character, it is more effective in reaching scale insects than any other,
save only the erude oil. Applied in winter on dormant trees, it evap-
orates rapidly under favorable conditions, and injures nothing; but
the margin of safety on peach and plum is small, and the former
especially are easily injured by it. In summer it may be applied undi-
luted in a fine spray, on a bright day favoring rapid evaporation, on
all except peach trees. In each case the insects are killed at practi-

24 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

cally the instant they become covered or wet, and the sooner the oil
gets off thereafter the better it will be for the tree.

The application of pure kerosene is not advised however at present,
because the crude oil is safer and more effective in winter, and a
diluted mixture is just as effective in summer. }

Kerosene may be diluted with water either by first emulsifying
with soap-suds or by applying with an emulsion sprayer in a mechan-
ical mixture.

The emulsion may be made as follows:

Hard soap shaved fine (Ivory isbest), ....... ¥% pound.
Water,” 'c-:\ 54 Conde bet ene aie deuce Lh hey une aeS 1 gallon.
FKETOSENE, 5. nil Bie tel te Lot oth et Noi ertini as (ak, Ub leaeeit one einen 2 gallons.

Dissolve the soap in boiling water, warm the kerosene and add the
boiling hot suds toit; then churn with a force-pump for a few
minutes, and we get, first, a milky appearance which yields rapidly
to a cream, and then to a soft butter-like mass that cannot be pumped.

When cold this will adhere to glass without oiliness, and the emul-
sion thus made, containing 66% of kerosene, may be diluted with
water to any desired extent. The water should be soft, or should be
made so with borax, and the mixture must be hot to combine to the
best advantage. At the rate of 1 part of emulsion to 10 parts of water
this emulsion is fatal to most insect life except scales, and safe on all
save peach trees. The presence of the soap, checking the rapid
evaporation of the oil, makes this proportionately more dangerous.
than even pure oil and much more harmful than mechanical mixtures
at greater strength.

The mechanical mixture is put on by means of a pump or pumps
adjusted to draw from separate tanks of kerosene and water at one
time, in varying proportions. It is by far the best method of using
the kerosene, and a mixture containing 10% of kerosene is safe on
foliage of any kind in reasonable application, while it is fatal to all
insect life except scales. ©

There are other ways of using the oil—with pyrethrum, or emulsi-
fied with soft soap ; but practically one or the other methods above
described will prove satisfactory for general work. Whale-oil soap
may, however, be substituted for the ivory soap with some addition
to the killing power of the mixture.

Soaps are insecticides either because they are caustic and corrode
the insect, or because they form a film of soap over the spiracles and
choke it. Both results are obtained in strong mixtures of any soap,

7

but, practically, it has been found that fish-oil, combined or saponi-
fied with potash, makes the most effective insecticide.
A good fish oil soap may be made as follows :

Concentrated potashlye,...... os Me pd 3% pounds.
TL CT MMC CS IO Wet aN ne qs cs lars. 3 6. etka es 8 gallons.
ets LOA eS SPE RRR Dak eet a ioe I gallon.

Dissolve the lye in boiling water and to the boiling solution add
the oil; boil for two and one-half hours, adding water slowly to make
up loss in boiling, and then allow to cool.

Farmers with a proper outfit claim that this soap can be made for
about one cent per lb., but it is difficult to obtain a uniform product.

Good fish, or so-called ‘‘ whale oil,’’ soaps, are made at from 3% to
5 cts. per lb., according to quantity, by Leggett & Brother, Pearl St.,
New York (Anchor Brand), and James Good, South Randolph St.,
Philadelphia ‘Potash No. 3). Of the latter several thousand pounds
are annually used in New Jersey with general satisfaction.

This soap may be used against plant lice and sucking insects gen-

erally, in summer, at the rate of 1 lb. in from 4 to 6 gallons of water.
Against the San José or pernicious scale in winter it is used 2 lbs. in
1 gallon of water. .
_ Asa protection against borers, the stronger soap mixture may be
painted on tree trunks in early summer, and renewed from time to
time as needed. Carbolic acid, at the rate of an ounce to 1 gallon of
soap, adds to its effectiveness as a repellant, and lime, sufficient to
whiten, makes the wash more visible and somewhat more lasting.
One of the arsenites may also be added and will occasionally kill a
‘borer, where the other materials failed to prevent the adult from
Ovipositing.

Lime is often useful as an insecticide, and yet more generally as a
repellant. Freely used as a whitewash on trees, fences, out-houses,
etc., it reduces the number of hiding places for insects, for none of
them like lime and few care to remain on a white surface, which
renders them conspicuous to their natural enemies.

When used dry, it should be as caustic as possible. Air-slaked
Time is fairly effective when fresh, but fresh dry-slaked is yet better, z e.,
add just water enough to slake the lime into a dry powder, and sift
this upon soft-bodied insects like slugs of potato or asparagus beetles
when they are damp in the early morning. It burns holes in the
Skin of such insects and is effective in proportion to its freshness.
_ Crude carbolic acid, 1 pint to 100 pounds of lime, gives the latter
a light pink color and makes it a good repellant against root mag-
gots, &e.

26 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

Carbolic acid may be emulsified by boiling 1 pound of soap, shaved
fine, in 1 gallon of water, adding crude acid 1 pint, and then churn-
ing as for a kerosene emulsion. Diluted with 30 parts of water, this
mixture is effective as against root maggots attacking cabbage, |
onions, &c.

Turpentine has been used as a repellant with tolerably good effect,
and one pint in a bushel of lime will make the latter effective in |
keeping the striped beetle from the base of melon and other vines.

Resin, and the lime, salt and sulphur washes are much used in the |
Pacific States and are very effective. In New Jersey the amount of |
moisture almost continuously present in the air and the frequent rains |
make them practically useless; but for information the formulas and |
method of preparation may be given. |

All the sulphur and half the lime are placed in a kettle, add 25
gallons of water and boil briskly for an hour and a half or until al
the sulphur is thoroughly dissolved. The solution, yellow at first,
will turn very dark brown, assuming more or less of a reddish ting
and will finally change from a thick batter into a thoroughly liquid |
condition, the product being ordinary sulphide of lime. All the salff ;
is added to the remainder of the lime and the latter slaked, after

ee

CATALOGUE OF INSECTS. 27

which the slaked lime and salt are added to the sulphide of lime
already obtained and boiled an hour longer, the whole being then
diluted with water to make 100 gallons. It must be strained before
application.

There are local variations in the preparation of this mixture, but

_ the product is always a double sulphide of lime when the process has
been thorough.

Caustic potash and caustic soda are much used as a winter wash on
fruit trees and keep the trunks bright and clear of lichens, fungous

_ growths, scales and other pests that would ordinarily winter in such
places. One pound in one or two gallons of water is a usual strength,
but must not be employed on foliage or active plant tissue.

Hot or very cold water may be sometimes used to advantage ; but
their range is exceedingly limited, and usually some other substance
is more satisfactory and actually less expensive.

Sulphur has also a limited range, and is practically useless in the
field as an insecticide; but in the greenhouse, where mites or red
spiders are troublesome, it can be made very useful. Crushed or
powdered sulphur in considerable quantity in a barrel of water may
be stirred from time to time for weeks or months, and the sulphur
water so formed may be used on the plants; or flour of sulphur may
be dusted on the ground or on the pipes so as to vaporize slowly.

Naphthaline is another substance more useful in protecting stored
products indoors than for destroying field pests; but it is excellent
to keep ‘‘ moths’’ from clothing and gnawing pests out of the wheat
bin. It isa petroleum product, has a low melting point and ignites
readily—a fact which should be kept in mind.

Bisulphide of carbon is a volatile liquid of vile odor, giving off fumes
exceedingly poisonous to insect life, and it may be used in some cases
to destroy insects in granaries or other moderately tight receptacles.
The vapor is heavy and sinks; hence the material should be placed on
top of the mass of grain tobe cleared. Roughly, it requires a teaspoon-
ful of liquid to fill one cubic foot of space with vapor, and seed grain
may be exposed for 24 hours without danger to its germinating
quality. In field practice the bisulphide is useful against the melon
louse when it first appears and only isolated hills are affected. These
an be covered with any sort of tight cover and a proper amount of
the insecticide placed in a small dish—a clam shell will answer—the
cover being kept on an hour at least. All hills so treated are thor-
oughly cleared and spread throughout the field may be so prevented.
Ordinary bisulphide of carbon is expensive, but a ‘“‘ Fuma’”’ bisul-
phide is made by Edward R. Taylor, Cincinnati, Ohio, which may
be obtained at a satisfactory rate for insecticide purposes.

28 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

Hydrocyanic acid gas is largely employed on the Pacific coast in
clearing trees of scale insects, and it is very effective. In the East it
has been employed to any extent in Maryland only, but its usefulness
is limited, because of the cost of the necessary outfit. "The expense
for materials is slight, but the tents and the labor required to move
them when the trees are of any size bring the price beyond the ability
of the average grower in New Jersey. In California, on large fruit
ranches, the outfit pays in the long run, and in many districts the
county owns the outfit and permits its use for a stated sum. In
Maryland the State has made comparatively large appropriations and
has given large powers to its entomologist.

But while fumigation can hardly be recommended under present
circumstances for orchard work, it has a practical field in the nursery
and directions for its use there may be in place. Nursery stock may
be safely sumbitted to the hydrocyanic acid gas for hours and two
or three times during the dormant season. The essential point is a
tight house or box in which the stock is exposed to the fumes, and
this may be of any desired size or shape, depending upon the caprice

or necessity of the nurseryman. A house is better than a box and ©

should be first sheathed with fair matched or halved stuff, diagonally,
upright or otherwise, asdesired. Then cover with a layer of building-
paper well lapped at the joints and weather-board in the usual way so
as to make an air-tight box. The roof may be iron, tin or tarred paper ;
only it must be as gas-tight as the sides. A shuttered window at one
end and large doors at the other should also be double and should
close tightly against felt or rubber strips. Both should be fitted

to lock from the outside in such a way as to clamp door and —
shutter tightly in place. The bottom should be grated to —

keep the stock from the earthen floor, and it goes without
saying that earth to cover the base should be banked against the
house from the outside, while inside the sill should be at least half
buried. In a small house a slide-box with a drawer reaching nearly
to the middle may open on the outside of the house, and in this the
jar with chemicals may be loaded, shoved into place when the house
is closed, and the opening protected in any desired way while fumi-
gation is going on. Ina large house one or more jars may be placed
near the middle in a protected space and the cyanide may be dropped
in when all is ready to close doors immediately.

For nursery stock the formula for every hundred cubic feet of
space is:

Cyanide of potassium, 98% pure,...... 1 oz. by weight.
Sulphuric acid, sp. ¢- 1.88, ./ 2 Ge seca 1% oz, by measure.
Watery: wa5esii. ties) 2 ee 2% oz. by measure.

ee

PT er ey Cane he OE

CATALOGUE OF INSECTS. 29

When the cubic contents of a house or box are ascertained, weigh
out the cyanide in paper bags in small lumps for a day’s use, and
keep dry. Water and acid are measured out as required. The fumi-
gating jar should be of glazed earthenware or glass, and should hold
twice as much as is needed, to avoid spilling or sputtering over.
When all is ready measure out frst the water; then the acid, which
should be poured into the water slowly. The acid is very corrosive,
and must be carefully used; it heats when added to water, and boils
violently when water in small quantity is added to it; hence, the
water should zever be poured into the acid. When everything else
is ready, drop the bag of cyanide into the diluted acid, and either
shove in the slide or close the doors af once. It requires a few mo-
ments for the acid to eat through the paper bag, and this gives ample
time for the operator to get out if the jar is loaded inside. Fumiga-
tion should continue at least two hours, and may continue safely all
night. The fumigating house on the Village Nurseries at Hights-
town is arranged so that a wagon-load of stock may be backed into
it, and the stock fumigated without unloading. When the house is
opened it should be allowed to ventilate at least ten minutes, door and
window being both opened to facilitate the escape of gas, before it is
entered. This fumigation will kill all plant lice and scale insects in
any except the egg stage, unless they are protected by some acci-
dental covering. No method can be entirely perfect, and a scale, or
even a group of scales, may be so covered by a leaf, a spider-web or
a cocoon that the gas does not reach it. Yet these instances will be
rare, and the process is as nearly perfect as anything we have.

It will be noted that our insecticide battery is not on the whole a
very large one, yet it is sufficient when intelligence is used in their
application. There isan abundance of secret or patented insecticides
at high prices, but these are best avoided as arule. This caution
does not apply to simple products like fish-oil soap, tobacco extracts
or the like, which are often more cheaply purchased than made, but
to products with fancy names which give no indication of the killing
agent, like ‘‘ Black death,” “‘ Kill M right,’’ &c., all of which may
be good, but are likely to be otherwise.

Preventive methods have not been touched upon, since they vary
with almost every species against which they are used.

Finally, I do not mean to suggest that no materials other than
those mentioned are useful for insecticide purposes, but the range of
such substances is usually limited and their discussion would carry
this chapter beyond all reasonable bounds.

CHAPTER V.
MACHINERY.

The difficulty in dealing with this subject arises from the fact that
so many changes and improvements are being constantly made in
machinery for applying insecticides that the apparatus found satis-
factory to-day may be set aside in favor of something much better by
the time this book is distributed. Therefore a few general rules only
can be given, meant to guide the farmer in purchasing. .

And first of all determine exactly what the machine is wanted for,
the capacity which it must have, the amount of power it is expected
to develop and the general range of action needed.

Almost all leading makers of spraying machinery advertise in the
more widely-circulated farm papers or journals, and it is good policy
to study these advertisements carefully and write for a catalogue to
every maker who seems likely to have what is wanted. I have
found that, as a rule, the catalogues give a very fair description which
may be relied upon as essentially correct, and from these catalogues,
supplemented perhaps by a little correspondence, a satisfactory ma-
chine may be obtained.

It is always better to do this well in advance of the time when the
machine is needed, as it may then be tested and its peculiarities dis-
covered before actual field-work is attempted.

The highest priced apparatus is by no means always the best;
but, on the other hand, it is poor policy to buy an outfit merely
because it is cheap. In purchasing an outfit for spraying the grand
essential is always a good pump, for without this nothing can be done
even if everything else is perfect, and with it even a crude outfit will
often do satisfactory work. The essentials are: brass cylinder and
working parts; ball valves or brass-packed valves, requiring little or no
attention during the season ; a large air-chamber to secure uniformity
of action ; stout piston-rod and pump-handle so mounted as not to be
easily twisted ; cylinder of moderate diameter so that a maximum
pressure may be obtained with a minimum amount of exertion.
Almost everything else is subordinate, and may be at the pleasure or
according to the means of the farmer. A further suggestion is to get
a pump of large rather than small capacity ; a little work may be
done with a big pump; but much work cannot always be done with
a little pump.

are a considerable number who do almost equally good work; hence
no addresses are given, and figures are introduced only to illustrate
types of machines. )

Where scale insects or plant lice are to be dealt with, it would be |
well to get an emulsion pump with which kerosene and water may
be sprayed in a mechanical mixture. Such pumps are now made by :
several makers and usually so that the kerosene attachment may be
removed and the machine used for ordinary spray-work.

When vou have a good machine keep it in order, and never let it | |
stand full of a mixture containing lime or a sediment of any kind. i
The reason for this is obvious enough, and it should not even need
the suggestion ; but Iam afraid it does. ‘The hose should also be
cleaned each time, and it may all be done very easily by pane
clean water through the apparatus for a few minutes.

The next important item is the nozzle, and for making a fine spray
nothing equals the vermorel. With a knapsack machine a single
nozzle at the end of a three-foot lance or pipe is ample; in orchard
work where a greater volume of spray is desirable a group of three
such nozzles at the end of an 8 or 10-foot gas-pipe will be found very
satisfactory. Sometimes a flat spray is needed, sent to a greater
distance than is attainable with a vermorel, and in such cases a
McGowen or Deming Bordeaux are useful. But this is another case
where almost each maker has some special outfit, and most are good ;

It is not intended to advertise any maker of pumps here, for = |

only the vermorel should be insisted on for fine spray, especially if oil
is to be used. A useful nozzle is the Monitor, employed in the work
of the Gypsy Moth Committee in Massachusetts.

Fig. 5.—Gould ‘‘ Kerowater’’ Sprayer.

Atomizers holding from 1 pint to 1 quart of liquid are now sold
almost all over the country, in every hardware store dealing in sup-
plies for the farmer and in most seed and agricultural establishments.
They are useful in applying undiluted crude or kerosene oil on small
trees, but have no place in a field outfit.

In fact the only good advice that can be given, in view of the
diversity of needs, is to study the subject thoroughly first before
buying and to give yourself plenty of time to do it ; to buy for dura-
bility, effectiveness and ease of working, and buy a good machine

’ while you are about it.

Concerning machines for applying dry powders very little can
be said, for there is only one of large capacity known to me, the
‘‘Champion Powder Gun,’’ made by Leggett & Brother, of New
York city.

é ; > Uy ) tical application of insecticides. Given

poison it must actually fouwch the insect to be effective. Spraying
the outside of a tree to kill scale insects clustered on the twigs,
trunk and branches, is waste of everything involved in the process,
and thus the intelligent holder of the spray-nozzle is really the most
important part of the whole outfit.

PART II.—LIST OF THE INSECTS OF NEW JERSEY.

Orver THYSANURA.

The order 7hysanura contains the so-called Spring-tails and Bristle-tails :
minute wingless creatures with obscurely-developed mouth parts, no transfor-
mations, living usually in damp places in or among decaying or fermenting
vegetation or under bark.

The latter type are called Spring-tails, because
they have the power of leaping by means of a
pair of anal appendages bent under the body,
and these are the minute creatures often seen
in potato or root-cellars when decay sets in, on
the surface of manure-beds early in spring,
where they cover the soil in untold numbers,
and hopping about on the surface of the water
when meadow or bog-land has been flooded by
arain. On recently-flowed cranberry bogs acres
of water-surface may be seen covered by them
in late fall

They are usually charged with causing the decay with which they are asso- —

ciated ; but as a matter of fact their presence is a consequence rather than a
cause of the condition with which they occur. In manure they are rather
beneficial because they assist in decomposing it, and in the field they are at
least not harmful In cellars a free use of dry lime will keep them down.

A common type often seen in houses is the ‘‘ fish-moth,”’ a species of Lepisma,
also called a ‘’ silver-fish,’? because of the snow-white scales with which it is
covered. This is the largest of our species, { of an inch in length, with long
antennz and long anal filaments, often seen running rapidly in drawers, among
papers or linen, andin closets. It feeds on starchy substances and sometimes
gnaws the binding of books or the bosoms of boiled shirts. Camphor or
napthaline will serve to keep them off, while pyrethrum kills them if dusted
where they run.

I am, unfortunately, unable to present any list of species in this order, because
no collections have been made. There have been very few students of these
creatures, interesting as they are, and perhaps the majority of the species are
yet undescribed. If all of them were listed that are described from the eastern
United States, they would probably be less than 50 in number.

Orver EPHEMERIDA.

These are popularly known as ‘‘ May flies ’’ because of the time of their
greatest abundance, and ‘‘day flies’’ because of their short life in the adult
stage. The ordinalterm is based upon the same peculiarity in their life-history.
The adults have two pairs of wings, very closely net-veined, frail in texture,
and the anterior much larger than the posterior. The head is large, set on a
distinct neck, the mouth parts are aborted, the eyes prominent and the antennze
very short. The body is loosely jointed and the abdomen has long anal fila-
ments, varying from three to five in number. The insects are attracted to
light, and swarms often come on favorable evenings in early summer to the
electric lights in our cities. The early stages are passed in the water, the larva,
half crustacean in appearance, feeding upon the mud and ooze for a consider-
ble period of years in some species.

There are many peculiar and interesting characters in this the oldest or least
developed of our Neuroptera; but their existence can only be indicated here.
None of the species are of any economic importance from any point of view.

The ‘‘Stone flies’? which constitute this order are loose-jointed, flattened,
soft-bodied creatures with long net veined wings, the hind pair longitudinally
folded beneath the anterior. The head is large, the mouth parts soft, antennze
long and tapering, eyes rather prominent. The prothorax is free and quadrate,
the other segments loosely foined. The abdomen is soft and usually with anal
filaments or processes. These “‘flies’’ are found along the streams and rivers
in which their larve occur, resting on the leaves and not easily disturbed ; their
flight is heavy and they do no feeding upon living plants so far as known. The
larvee live in the streams under stones to which they cling so closely that, being
flattened, they are easily overlooked. They breathe by means of lateral gill
tufts which occur also on the head and which, in some species, persist even in
the adult stage; a curious reminder of ancient conditions and an indication of
the low type of the order. The pupa is active aud the transformation incom-
plete.

It is very probable that many more species occur than we have yet found, but
what is already known shows that they form an important part of the aquatic
fauna in numbers as well as species, though of no importance to the agri-
culturist.

The insects of this order are called biting lice to distinguish them from the
parasitic forms of the Hemiptera or sucking lice They occur on warm-blooded
animals generally, but have been called bird lice because avian parasites are
confined to members of this order. They live among the hair and feathers of
their host, feeding upon the body scurf, upon the soft tissues at the base of the
feathers and hair, upon dried blood from wounds, and generally upon whatever
they can scrape from the surface While they do not actually feed upon the
live tissues of the animal or suck blood, they create a more or less continuous
irritation and cause a mangy appearance due to loss of hair and feathers In

_ shape they are flattened, with broad obtuse head, short feelers and often bulging

eyes. Eggs are attached to the hair or feathers of the host and the young
resemble the adults in general appearance ; there being no obvious transfor-
mations.

Remedial measures for birds are, plenty of dust with which they may thor-
oughly powder themselves and the free use of crude petroleum in the chicken
or other fowl-houses. On the larger animals of the barn-yard, thorough brushing
with a stiff brush, which may be dipped occasionally in crude petroleum. The
petroleum is better than the kerosene, because it does not take the hair from
horses or cows. Dogs and cats are rarely infested and can be easily cleaned
with carbolic soap washes or pyrethrum. Where its application is convenient,
vaseline can be employed to good advantage. Washing with kerosene emulsion
diluted ten times has been found successful in some directions, and, indeed, it is
merely a matter of determination and persistence until the pests are thoroughly
destroyed.

Orver ISOPTERA.

This order is represented in our State by a single species only, commonly
called a ‘‘ white ant’’ or, more properly, a Termite. These ‘‘ white ants’’ may
be found in dead or decaying stumps, logs or even standing trunks, or under
stones in woodland, They have a large head without eyes, short feelers, a small
thorax with short legs, a soft,
somewhat flattened, oval abdo-
men, and are about one-quarter
of an inch long. These are the
workers and their jaws are only
moderately developed. Scat-
tered among them are somewhat
larger individuals with long,
sharp-pointed mandibles, and
these are soldiers. In the spring
yet larger, chestnut brown,
winged individuals are found
and these are male and female
which swarm in May or June in
immense numbers.

They never attack growing

OrverR CORRODENTIA.

This order is composed of a rather small number of soft-bodied insects with
a large kead which, while it is not sunken into the prothorax, has no distinct
neck, The mouth parts are small, fitted for gnawing, and the antennz are
very long and slender. Many are wingless, and these are the ‘‘ book-lice”’
which are found in dry, dusty places feeding on starchy materials, gnawing
the calendered surface of paper and occasionally damaging museum specimens.
They resemble parasites in shape, but run rapidly and have the posterior
thighs much enlarged. The winged forms occur on the bark of moss or lichen-
covered trees, and are sluggish flyers, preferring to drop when disturbed rather
than use their wings. The venation of these wings is very peculiar, by the bye,
the cells being irregular and the individual veins tortuous in course.

The wingless forms are mainly referred to the Atropide, while the winged
forms are in the family Psocide.

"Onsen PLATYPTERA.

The species occurring with us are large in size, with the head as broad or
broader than the square or oblong thorax, the mandibles large and sometimes
prominent, antennz many-jointed and often pectinated inthe male. The wings
are large, net-veined, the posterior not much the larger, and folded only once
near the anal angle when at rest beneath the anterior pair which covers them.
The early stages are passed in the water, under stones or among the veyetation
at the bottom of running streams. The larve are rather long, usually blackish,
and breathe by means of a series of gill tufts. They are favorite fish-food and
are used as bait by fishermen when they can get them. When full grown the
larvee crawl on shore, bury in the soil in an old stump or under stones and
pupate: the transformations being complete.

Orver NEUROPTERA.

In its original or Linnzean scope this order included all the net or nerve-
winged insects; hence was easy of definition. It is one of the most ancient
of the orders in this sense and divergences left their mark in the form of
remnants, retaining the original wing type, but differing greatly in other
respects. The first division was upon the character of the transformations
and we had Pseudo-neuroptera, where the metamorphoses were incomplete,
and Veuroptera, where they were complete. This was unsatisfactory because
nothing in the adult indicated the nature of its transformations and also
because, in this very order where the change in the character of the metamor-
phosis occurred there were a number of transition forms that were not easily
classified. Hence the modern tendency to give each compact group ordinal
rank, and this I consider the correct solution. Unfortunately there is yet no
entire agreement as to where the lines of division should be drawn and in the
limitation here adopted the fish-flies are excluded, contrary to the belief of
some other authorities.

As the order is limited here it contains insects that have a moderately com-
pact thorax, the prothorax being well developed yet immovably connected
with the mesothorax whatever its size, no distinct neck between it and the
head and four large net-veined wings which are not folded and are carried
obliquely or roof-like when at rest. All of them are terrestrial in all stages,
all are predatory in character though, in one case at least, with a tendency to
parasitism, and in all there is a complete metamorphosis. The wings are not
densely hairy in any case; there is no difference in texture between the two
pairs and usually not much in size.

There are several families occurring in New Jersey that differ considerably in
habit and appearance, though most of them are of small extent.

The Mantispide have only two representatives thus far known from our State,
and these are remarkable looking forms, with long pro-thorax and immense
clasping fore legs, much resembling the J/az/es which belong in the Orthopiera.

_ The larvee prey upon the eggs of spiders and are semi-parasitic, living in the

egg-sac and becoming partly grub-like in form. As they are so rare with us
they cannot be considered of economic importance.

The Coniopterygide are almost equally scarce. The species I have seen are
small, covered with a white mealy powder which makes them easily recognizable,
and the hind wings are unusually small. The larvee, so far as their habits are
known, feed on scale insects and resemble in form those of the Aphis lions. So
far as they go, therefore, the insects are beneficial.

The Chrysopidz, Aphis lions, golden-eyed flies, or lace-wing flies, are well
represented with us and distinctly useful. The term ‘‘Aphis lion’’ refers to
to the habits of the larva which is spindle shaped, a little flattened, with
prominent long mandibles which are grooved on the inner side. This larva
clasps a plant-louse, punctures it and draws in the juices, the body being
thrown away when exhausted. The adult is green in color, the wings very

54 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

transparent and delicate, whence the name lace-winged is derived ; the eyes
hemispherical, prominent and golden bronzed. They have a peculiarly
sickening odor when handled, reminding one of an ill-kept urinal. ‘hey are
decidedly beneficial and sufficiently numerous to be accounted a notable check
to plant-lice increase.

The Hemerobiide resemble the preceding in appearance and habits, but are
usually brown in color and there is a structural difference in venation, which is
technical in character. The larvee make a sac for themselves of the skins of
their victims and other dirt particles. The eggs in both families are laid at the
top of a slender thread or stalk and pupation takes place in a round parchment-
like cocoon.

The Myrmeleonide are ant lions in the larval stage, and the adults are much
larger than any of the preceding families, besides having the antennze clubbed
at tip: gradually so when they are short, abruptly when they are
long. The larvee have the peculiar habit of building a conical pit
in sand or dry earth, at the bottom of which they await the prey
that may unwarily investigate too close to its edge. They can
scarcely be considered useful, though, at least, not in any way
injurious. -
see ‘Taken as a whole, then, the order is decidedly useful or bene-

’ ficial from the economic standpoint.

It may be in place here to say that the general arrangement in all the Neu:
ropterous orders is based upon the Catalogue published by Mr. N. Banks in the
Trans. Am. Ent. Soc., vol. xix, 1892.

Yhe ‘scorpion flies’? are a curious remnant of what I believe has been a
synthetic type from which the Hymenoptera and Diptera have been derived.
They have narrow, net veined wings, the cross veins rather few in number, laid
flat across the back when at rest. The mouth parts are mandibulate and set at
the end of a proportionately long beak, so that the order is readily recognizable.
In the males of Panorpa the abdomen is fur-
nished with a curiously jointed forceps, curved
upward so that it somewhat resembles the tail
with a sting of a scorpion; and this gives the
insect its common name The flies are preda-
tory and feed upon a variety of small insects.

The larvee are caterpillar-like in shape, have
8 pairs of fleshy pro-legs, live in damp soil and

Orver TRICHOPTERA.

The ‘‘caddice’’ or ‘‘ case-flies,’? are so named from the fact that the larvze
make cases or tubes of stones, sticks and the fragments in which they live.
They are aquatic, resemble caterpillars in shape, but have the thoracic legs
very long, the others small or obsolete, the entire hind body being soft.
Usually they frequent running brooks, streams or ditches; but some live in
water that is sluggish or almost stagnant. The adults have a free head with
distinct neck, a compact thorax, abdomen without anal appendages, and four
net-veined wings, the posterior folded under and covered by the anterior. The
antennze are usually very long, the fore-wings are narrower than the hind-
wings and are covered with fine hair which sometimes becomes scale-like. In
texture the primaries are sometimes a little stouter and, altogether, the insects
at rest very much resemble moths. The mouth parts are obscurely mandibu-
late and, in a few cases, fairly developed; but in many others they are so rudi-
mentary as to be entirely useless for feeding purposes. It is believed that in
the 77vichoptera we have the direct ancestors of the Lepidopiera.

The species are quite numerous, and have not been much collected: it is

very probable, therefore, that many additions will be made to the list in the
future. Asa whole they are indifferent to the farmer.

Orver ODONATA.

The Odonata or dragon flies are not of economic importance, none of them
feeding upon growing vegetation. The adults are all more or less predatory,
feeding largely upon mosquitoes and other small flies, whence they are termed
‘mosquito hawks’’ Their long, slender bodies, narrow, long net-veined
wings, large head, with prominent immense eyes, give them a fierce appear-
ance which has earned for them the names ‘‘snake doctor,’’ ‘‘ devil’s darning-
needles,’’ &c., as well as a crop of fables concerning their destructive powers.
As a matter of fact they are quite harmless, incapable not only of stinging or
pinching, but even, because of the peculiar mouth structure, of biting except
on a projecting point oredge They fly during the day, generally along water
courses or over ponds, ditches or other bodies of water, and they may be
frequently observed copulating and darting at intervals to the surface to enable
the female to drop a load of eggs.

Some species crawl down reeds or grasses beneath the surface of the water to
Oviposit. The larvze live on the bottom of creeks, brooks or ponds, in mud or
among vegetation, and they feed upon whatever smaller soft-bodied creatures
they can get hold of. They are sluggish in general habit and enabled to get
their prey by means of a peculiar hinged mouth-structure.

The insects are of the greatest interest in all stages; but, as already noted,

they are not in any way of importance to the farmer. They are certainly not

injurious ; but their predatory habits are such that they are not markedly
beneficial or useful, either.

It has been proposed to cultivate some of the species for the purpose of
reducing the mosquito pest; but this left out of consideration the fact that
dragon flies are active during the bright sunshine when the mosquito does not
fly unless disturbed, while at night, when the mosquito is most active, the
dragon fly is at rest.

Dr. Philip P. Calvert, of the University of Pennsylvania, has made a special
study of this family and has courteously determined and arranged the New
Jersey material. He should be credited with the following list in its entirety,
and writes as follows in explanation.

ORDER ODONATA.

BY PHILIP P. CALVERT.

At Prof. Smith’s request I have undertaken to prepare the list of insects of
this order hitherto found in New Jersey. Iu doing so, I have included only
those species of which I have seen specimens from the State, or for which only
the best authority (Dr. Hagen or Baron de Selys) exists. The material upon
which this list is based has been collected or furnished by the following
gentlemen, for whose courtesy and aid I here return thanks: Messrs. S. F.
Aaron, N. Banks, W. Beutenmuller, W. T. Davis, G. M. Greene, S. F. Gross,
H. Hornig, C. W. Johnson, S. T. Kemp, P. Laurent, P. Nell, L. Riederer, C. F.
Seiss, H. Skinner, J. B. Smith, H. V. Viereck, H. W. Wenzel. Most of the
records by Mr. Crane, of Caldwell, from the first edition of this catalogue have
also been included, together with my own record (C), and data on some speci-
mens in the collection of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia
(A. N.S.). The abbreviations in parentheses are used as in the other portions
of the list to indicate the source of information for each locality cited.

The localties under each specific name are arranged in geographical order
from north to south. Mr. Davis’ list of the species of Staten Island has been
included fo1 obvious reasons. The arrangement of the species is the same as
that of my ‘‘ Catalogue of the Odonata of the Vicinity of Philadelphia ’’ (1893),
in which most of those following are described. The total number is here
given as 90, but additional search will no doubt increase it to beyond 100.

Gloucester, near Egg Harbor River. I can never forget the delight I

Ornver THYSANOPTERA.

The insects of this order are commonly known as ‘‘ Thrips,’’ and often cause
severe injury to growing plants. They are of very small size, very slender,
somewhat fusiform, with very delicate slender fringed wings which are laid flat
upon the back when at rest and are not even visible to the ordinary observer
without a lens.

The mouth parts are made up of a number of slender lancets, only the points
of which protrude beyond the mouth opening. With these they scrape the
surface of the leaf or plant and exhaust the cell beneath, leaving a yellow spot.
Onions are frequently turned almost white when hadly infested, and cabbage
may be completely devitalized. ‘‘Silver-top’’ on grasses is one of the effects,
and for several years past injury has been caused on nursery peaches in some
parts of the State; growth being checked and the tree dwarfed or crippled.

Not all species are harmful, however, some occurring in flowers and others in
such situations as to make it reasonably certain that they are predatory. Yet,
as a whole, this little order must be considered as injurious.

As to remedial measures, it is difficult to make recommendations save the
impossible one of getting abundant and seasonable rains. The insects thrive
best in a dry time and may be completely checked in their full-tide by a heavy
rain, especially if at all cold. Any contact poison will kill them, even if con-
siderably diluted, and quantity of mixture rather than strength is important.
Cold water alone will be quite effective if plenty of it is at hand.

Practically no collecting has been done in New Jersey in this order, though
the insects merit much more attention than they have received, from their
economic importance as well as from their interesting structures.

The present list I owe to the kindness of Mr. Theodore Pergande, of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, and it is based entirely upon his knowledge of the
general distribution. All the notes are by Mr. Pergande except that charging
T. tritici with injuring nursery peaches and those that are especially marked
(Sm).

Orver PARASITICA.

This order, or sub-order as some prefer to con-
sider it, contains the sucking lice, parasitic upon
warm-blooded animals generally, other than birds.

Fig. 31
Body louse ;
greatly enlarged.

They never become winged, have
practically no transformations, the
body is more or less flattened and
the feet are scansorial or fitted for
climbing. The eggs are usually
attached to the hair among which
they feed.

Three species attack man, the
‘*crab-louse,’’ for which mercurial
ointment must be applied thor-
oughly in the infested regions, the
‘“body louse,’’ for which mercurial
ointment must be applied in the
seams of the infested clothing if

that cannot be discarded or steamed, and the
‘head louse’’ for which a fine-tooth comb and a
thorough rubbing with vaseline or some other
greasy pomade is the best remedy.

On animals the methods suggested for the biting
lice may be employed.

Ornver HOMOPTERA.

This ordinal term is employed for those Riyngota in which the two pairs of
wings are either similar in texture, as in the plant-lice and Cicada, or the
primaries are of the same texture throughout, though they may be different
from that of the secondaries, as in the leaf-hoppers.

The mouth parts are composed of four lancets, of which two are usually grown
together, concealed in a jointed beak, except in the Coccidé or scale insects.
Usually the base of the beak is on the under side of the head, well back, and its
point is directed obliquely backward so that it rests between the haunches of
the front legs.

All the species are plant-feeders, pierc-
ing the tissue by means of the lancets and
exhausting the cells beneath. They are,
therefore, of importance to the Agricul-

é turist, and, asa matter of fact, some of our
most destructive species and those most
difficult to deal with belong to this order.

In a general way the transformations or
metamorphoses. are incomplete, but the
life histories of the species are often
involved and some are distinctly unique.
Therefore no general recommendations
for treatment can be given under this
head save that stomach poisons are never
useful and that contact poisons must be
in all cases resorted to.

There is no complete list or catalogue
of the order published and the collections
are incomplete, few collectors taking them
even incidentally ; hence the material at
hand has been scant and has been turned
over to Prof. Herbert Osborn, of the Ohio
State University, who is responsible for
the general arrangement, and to whom
all notes not otherwise bracketed must
be credited. All the economic suggestions, notes on life histories and recom-
mendations for treatment are mine.

In the family Aphidide assistance has been received from Mr. Theo. Pergande,
of Washington, D. C., and in the Coccide Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell, of Mesilla
Park, N. M., has given useful suggestions. Prof. Osborn writes as follows :

“This list, embracing the Homopterous fauna of New Jersey, is based,
primarily, on specimens collected in the State and many of them examined by
myself. Some are entered on the authority of Prof. P. R. Uhler, Mr. E. P.
Van Duzee or others credited in the record for each species. Usually a specified
locality is cited. Species recorded from the vicinity of New York City or

Philadelphia must be consideted as belonging to the New Jersey fauna, as they
will certainly be found within the State with proper collecting, and in fact
specimens credited to these may in some cases have actually been captured on
New Jersey soil. Still, none of those are given for N. J., except where known
to have been collected at some point in the State.”’ 4

‘‘Other species will certainly be found, especially in /assidz, Fulgoride,
Aphidide and Coccide.’’

Family CICADIDZ:.

Large species with transparent wings,
occurring on shrubs and trees, the males
making a shrilling sound during the day.
Includes the ‘‘ Harvest flies’? and ‘‘17-
year locust ’’ as common species.

In the adult stage they feed very little
or not at all, the larve living from 1 to
16 years underground on the roots of
trees, growing very slowly and doing no
appreciable harm,

Eggs are laid in slits made in trunks,
branches or twigs of shrubs and trees, and
this sometimes causes serious injury on
young or nursery trees. It is good policy
not to set an orchard the yeara large brood
of the periodical Cicada is expected, nor
indeed the year before. If planting must
be done, do no pruning, that the insects
may find plenty of twigs in which to
oviposit, and these can be cut off after the
insects disappear and the tree shaped up.

Family MEMBRACID.

Contains the ‘‘tree-hoppers,’’ which are odd-looking creatures, more oF less
wedge or beech-nut-shaped, the prothorax often abnormally developed into
horns, spines, crests or otherwise. They leap and fly quite readily and are
commonly found on trees and shrubs. Most of the species are rare and cause
little or no injury, some envelop themselves in frothy masses, and some excrete

honey-dew.

The only injury that is really notable in New Jersey is caused by the Buffalo
tree-hoppers or species of Cevasa, which lay their eggs in slits made on fruit
trees. This seems to cause a poisoning, the slits form open wounds, checking
growth and forming a weak point on a young tree or branch.

Careful pruning to cut out the egg punctures, the cuttings to be afterwards
burnt, will usually avoid injury. Insecticides are not indicated.

Family BYTHOSCOPIDZ:.

The familes Aythoscopide, Tettigonide and /asside contain the species
usually known as “‘leaf-hoppers.’’? They are Jong, slender, tapering posteri-
orly, the head short, more or less crescent shaped, closely applied to the
thorax, the feelers very short and bristle-like, the hind legs long and fitted for
jumping. They occur on grasses, shrubs and trees of all kinds and many are
distinctly injurious. A good example is the grape-leaf hopper which occurs in

pe \

Fig. 36.—Athysanus striatulus Fig. 37.— Thamnotetix fitchit. Fig. 38.—Agadlia g-punctata.

swarms on the foliage from mid-summer on, punctures the cells from the under
side and causes the appearance of a yellow spot which turns brown later, so
that when the punctures are numerous the entire leaf becomes dry, brittle and
lifeless. Apple trees, especially when young, frequently suffer in the same way
and many other plants have the foliage either defaced or seriously harmed.

In general the insects winter as adults, in rubbish or crevices, and lay eggs
early in spring, two or more generations developing in the course of the
summer.

Remedial measures are, attracting the insects to light, which is not always
practical, capturing them on sticky surfaces, which is useful in the vineyard,
and spraying with soapsuds or diluted kerosene, which has the largest range of
usefulness.

Capturing on sticky surfaces is done by jarring the vines so as to cause the
insects to fly up in clouds and at the same time waving a large fan, coated with
coal tar, or something similar, close to the foliage. Immense numbers of
specimens are caught in this way and if the method is persisted in for a few
days few insects will be left. The best time to do this fanning is in the early
evening.

Sprays should be fine, should be applied while the insects are yet immature
or, if flying forms are already present, the plants should be disturbed so as to
cause them to fly and, the spray being directed around the outside of the bush
or tree, to hit these flying specimens.

Taken as a whole, the injuries caused by the members of this family are little
noted and not much complained of.

Family PSYLLIDA.

The insects of this family are popularly known as ‘‘ jumping plant lice’”
from their active habits; but, as a matter of fact they much more closely
resemble a Cicada in miniature, both pairs of wings being
transparent and obliquely held on the back. The antennz
or feelers are quite long, differing thus from the leaf-hop-
pers, which they somewhat resemble in general form as
well as in size.

The species differ in habit, many of them forming galls,
especially on Ce/tis, while others feed upon foliage only.
Our only injurious species is the ‘‘ pear psylla,’’ which not
only punctures the leaf and fruit stalk, exhausting the
juices, but also excretes a honey-dew in such quantity as to
coat the leaves and form a foundation for the development
of a black fungus that covers both leaves and fruit and YX
checks development. The insect hibernates as an adult 8:39 —Pear Baas

3 2 4 winged adult: enlarged.
and a thorough spraying just before the buds open, using a
strong whale-oil soap mixture or a crude or kerosene oil
mechanical mixture, will kill a large percentage of the
hibernating forms as they leave their winter quarters.

For summer treatment the mechanical mixture of kero-
sene and water, sprayed as directed for leaf-hoppers, is the
most practical mixture.

There are few collectors of these little creatures, and Mr.
E. A. Schwarz, of Washington, D. C., has kindly revised the
list for me and noted the food habits.

Family APHIDIDZ.

The “plant lice,’ or ‘‘green flies,’ or ‘‘ Aphis”: the first-named being the
term most usually employed. They have, when winged, two pairs of large
transparent wings, the anterior much the larger ; but some forms never develop
these organs of flight, and the oval plump bodies with long antennce, more or
less prominent honey-tubes near the anal end, and long legs will serve to identify
the colonies clustered about a stem or twig, or on the underside of a leaf. By
means of the honey-tubes the insects excrete a honey-dew on which a black
fungus develops and chokes the foliage.

Fig 43.—Wheat plant louse; much enlarged.

The life history of many species is intensely interesting ; but briefly stated is
generally about as follows: They winter as eggs, from which, in the spring,
hatches a wingless form which in a few days begins to give birth to living
young resembling the parents, and, like them, vzv7parous, 7. e., giving birth to
live young, and parthenogenetic, 1. e., neither male nor female, capable of
bringing forth young without a previous union with a male. These young are
ready to reproduce in turn in a few days or a week, and from 4 to 8 young per
day may be produced under favorable conditions,

Sometime in early summer winged individuals occur and these fly to other
localities or other food-plants. They are also parthenogenetic specimens and
they found colonies wherever they alight. In the fall, when frost appears and
food becomes scarce, the true sexes are produced and eggs laid. In some cases
the insects have alternate food-plants, ¢. ¢. the hop-plant louse which winters
on the plum, starts breeding there and migrates to the hop-fields only when
the vines are well started. With the approach of cold weather when the hops
are being harvested they fly back to the plums again, where they eventually
oviposit, only to begin the same cycle next year,

The rate of increase among these insects is such that were it not for numer-
ous natural checks they would soon replace every other living thing upon the
earth

Remedial measures are, winter pruning if eggs are noticed, the cuttings to
be burnt, of course; application of contact insecticides early in the year to
destroy the stem-mothers ; application of contact insecticides at any time when
the insects are noticed. The poison may be either pyrethrum or tobacco decoc-
tion, soapsuds or a kerosene mixture—mechanical or emulsion. It must be
brought into actual contact with the insects and therefore a fine spray nozzle
should be used at all times when an application is made against these species.

Under some circumstances cold water will kill plant-lice and a cold storm in
middle or late June will play havoc with the migrating forms and may practi-
cally exempt the alternate food-plant for the season.

The best and most satisfactory method of dealing with the subject is to use
the kerosene emulsion, and spray liberally and frequently. In the melon field
cover the infested hills, and to each cubic foot of space beneath the cover
evaporate one dram of bisulphide of carbon, allowing the covers to remain on
an hour at least.

In this family Mr. Theodore Pergande has kindly furnished numerous notes
&c., particularly as to food-plants.

appearance, but are covered with a fine whitish powder or flour. In the larval

_ stage they somewhat resemble scales, but as adults both sexes have four well-

developed wings

Family COCCIDZ.

These are the ‘‘ Scale insects ’’ broadly speaking, characterized by a degraded,
larva-like form in the female and by the presence of a single pair of wings only
in the male, which has also a complete metamorphosis, a long anual style or
filament and an extra pair of eyes replacing the mouth, which in this sex is not
used at all for feeding purposes.

108 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

There are several sub-families, and these differ in their habits as well as :
structure and the method of dealing with them ' 1

The Coccine contain the mealy bugs, none of which maintain themselves in
any number out doors in our State, and the Maple Psewdococcus, which has of
late years appeared commonly on the leaves and trunks of city trees. This i
easily dealt with by a solid jet of water thrown under pressure, to wash off and
crush the very soft insects.

Vig. 48 —Pseudococcus aceris: a, the cottony masses covering adult females
on leaf; 4, young females and males on the bark: natural size.

The Asterolecaniine are represented by only a single species of golden yellow |
scale which attacks oak and has at times attracted attention on shade trees.

The Ortheztine are peculiar in secreting a waxy, brittle material extending
beyond the body in flakes and used to cover the eggs. There is no outdoor
species reported for our State. ;

The Lecaniine are the ‘‘soft scales,’’ and the scale is the thickened outer :
skin of the insect itself. The species are livid gray or brown in color and of 3
good size, varying from {to } of an inch in length, very convex, sometimes

adult females.

almost hemispherical. We have only a few species; but of these two, the
*‘cottony maple scale’’ and the ‘‘ tulip soft scale,’’ both attacking shade trees,
are troublesome. The maple scale produces eggs in spring in a prominent white
mass resembling cotton, and the tulip scale brings forth living young late in
August or early in September. The maple scale may be treated when the
cottony masses appear, with a mechanical mixture of kerosene and soapsuds;
the tulip scale may be treated during the winter with crude petroleum, while
in the larval stage.

Fig. 49.—Cottony maple scales; a, Pulvinarta acericola on leaf;
5, P. innumeradvilts on the twigs.

The Diaspine contain the ‘: armored scales,’’ and these differ radically from

7 the soft scales because here the scale is separable from the insect itself, which

lies loosely beneath it. We have a considerable number of species in our
State, attacking a great variety of trees and other plants, but practically only
three species are destructive—the San José or pernicious scale, the oyster-
shell bark-louse, and the scurfy scale. The first of these is viviparous and
winters in the half-grown stage, the other two are oviparous and winter in the
egg stage. The first has three full and a partial fourth brood during the season,
the others have each one brood only. The differences are important, because

( of the resulting difference in treatment. The pernicious scale may be attacked

|

.

during the winter with crude petroleum undiluted, and during the summer at
about June 15, August 1, and September 10 with a 10% mixture of kerosene
and 90% water in mechanical mixture. The others should be treated early in
_ June, while the larvz are moving or recently set, with 15% kerosene in water.

_ The scurfy scale is thin and easily corroded ; the oyster shell louse thick and

very resistant. Strong caustic washes readily detroy the scurfy scale in winter,
scattering the eggs beneath them and causing their destruction ; but these same
washes have little effect against the oyster shell scale.

Fig. 50.—Development ot an armored scale: a, active larva with lancets extended ;
6, somewhat contracted with waxy filaments ready to run together; d,
first scale just formed from above and side: all much enlarged.

Aside from the winter treatments, the best rule to follow in dealing with scale
insects is : find out exactly when the active larvee are moving about and seeking
to fix themselves; then at short intervals spray one, two or three times as may
be necessary with a somewhat weak mixture of soap, kerosene or tobacco, using
the material liberally so as to hit every crawling larva and kill all recent sets.

Caustic mixtures act by corroding the scales; oily mixtures by penetrating
beneath them : kerosene and fish oil soapsuds combines both types and should
be one of the most effective of our mixtures when its range is once properly —
ascertained.

Orver HEMIPTERA.

These are the true ‘‘ bugs,’’ or half-winged insects, so called because the fore-
wings, which are unfitted for flight, have the base thickened and the tips mem-
braneous. This same characteristic also gives them the name He/eropiera or
different-winged. As explained in the chapter on the development of insects,
I prefer the term R/yzgola for the series containing the 7hysanoplera, Para-
sitica, Homoptera and Hemiptera. The Homoptera have certainly developed
along lines quite different from the Hemiptera, and their life histories as well
as the structures show reasons sufficient for their ordinal separation. In the
Flemiptera the beak is always more free and the head more mobile than in the
Hlomoptera, and in many instances the species can direct the beak straight for-
ward so that it projects like a snout. The number of joints in the beak may
be three or four, the former being often predatory, the latter usually plant-
feeders; but there are many exceptions. The transformations are always
incomplete and feeding is always done by piercing and sucking, whether of
plant or animal tissues. In the species in which the beak is long and f ur
jointed, it often bends in the middle when the insect is feeding, the lancets
only being inserted and the tip of the beak serving as a guide.

Many injurious and some destructive species are found in this order in which,
by the bye, many have peculiar and excessively disagreeable odors.

Our collections in this order are only fair and there are numerous undescribed
' species. We have a good list by Prof. P. R. Uhler, upon which this record is
based, while several individual collectors, notably Messrs. C. F. Seiss, W. T.
Davis and F. C. Paulmier, have contributed data.

The MSS. of the list in the Capsid@ was submitted to Mr. O. Heidemann, of
Washigton, D. C., who very kindly added much information. To Mr Heide-
mann I am also indebted for determinations in this order, as I am to Mr. Wm.
H. Ashmead who has straightened out several difficult groups.

Family CORIMELA\NIDA.

The ‘‘ negro bugs’’; black, shining, convex species almost as broad as they
are long, the scutel covering almost the entire abdomen so that the wings are
scarcely visible. They look like beetles and are found among flowers gener-
ally. While not directly injurious, they have the unpleasant habit of laying
their eggs on blackberries, raspberries, &c., and this egg has a peculiar ‘‘ bed-
buggy ”’ flavor that is intensely repugnant to most people.

They are firm in texture, broadly oval, the edges of the thorax usually well
marked, angulate or even drawn out into spines or spurs, as a whole flattened
above. The beak is long, 4-jointed and the species are
vegetable feeders as a whole; though some are largely
predatory and others seem to take whatever they can get
of either plant or animal tissue. Many of them are com-
mon, but few of them are really troublesome on cultivated
plants. The best known species on the economic side is

Family COREIDA

Narrower and more oblong than the preceding families the scutellum still of
good size; but by no means prominent or abnormally developed. The com-
mon squash-bug is a member of this family and may serve as an example of its
general appearance. The hind legs are sometimes abnormally developed, the
femora large and clubbed, the tibize flattened and with leaf-like expansions.
Sometimes the edges of the abdomen are raised at the sides so that the wings
lie in a depression. The odors in this family are well developed ; but different
from those in the Pentatomide, being more penetrating and peculiarly sicken-
ing. All are vegetable feeders, I believe, the squash-bugs being our injurious
examples.

As the insects are of good size and easily seen, much may be done, especially
in gardens by hand-picking early in the season. More can be done a little
later, even in the field, by picking the prominent masses of large, shining,
golden-brown eygs that are laid on the under sides of leaves. Finally, as the
insects do not mature until late, rake out and destroy the vines as soon as the
crop is all off. This will starve the half-grown examples and leave only few to
go into winter quarters.

Insecticides are not indicated.

brane of the wing afford distinctive structural characters; but these are not
easily seen, and, from the practical standpoint, it makes no difference, for all
the members of this family are also plant-feeders.

The important economic species is the ‘‘ cinch-bug,’’ which, in some western
States, inflicts enormous injury on wheat and corn crops. Fortunately the
species is very rare and never injurious in our State, hence no reference to
methods of treatment need be made : indeed, though we have a goodly number
of species, and some of them are quite common; yet as it happens, none of
them occur so as to do notable injury on our staples. Should any of them ever
require treatment, the contact insecticides would have to be resorted to.

Family CAPSIDZA.

This family contains the ‘‘leaf-bugs,’’ or ‘‘plant bugs’’ which are mostly
soft in texture, elongate oval in shape, somewhat flattened above, with the
membraneous tip of the wings often sloping downward rather abruptly. The
colors are green and brown asa rule, but red and black bands, spots or other
markings occur not infrequently.

Of this family we have a large number that are common and they do a great
deal of harm that is not always recognized ; none of them assuming in our
State the dimensions of a first-class pest. In the gardens they often pierce the
buds of flowers, ¢. @., roses, and cripple the resulting blossoms, and the tips of
plants are not infrequently killed and the shoots crippled. On small fruits
they are quite injurious by killing the blossom stalk or even piercing young
fruits. In this way much injury is caused that is not easily avoided and which
forms a considerable tax. It is not entirely easy to deal with these species.
Many winter as adults, hence it is always a good plan to destroy all rubbish,
&c , that may serve as a hiding place. Some lay eggs in the stems of plants
on which they feed ; ¢. g., the ‘‘4-lined plant bug,’’ and these may be reached
by intelligent trimming and burning the cuttings. The only satisfactory
insecticide when such a one must be used is the kerosene emulsion or mechan-
ical mixture, and this must be used very thoroughly with an understanding of
the particular case in hand.

Our collections in this family are only fair, and there will be many additions
in the future as well as, probably, some new species. As the list stands now it
owes its form to Mr. O. Heidemann, as has been already stated.

Family ACANTHIIDZ.

Contains the ‘‘ bed-bugs,’’ and ‘‘ flower bugs,”’ all of them predatory, but not
all of them, therefore, beneficial. The ‘‘ bed-bugs’’ are oval, much flattened,
wingless, brown in color and live in beds, feeding upon the inhabitants thereof
at night. They may be destroyed by a free use of gasoline forced into the
crevices in which they hide, and this may have to be applied two or three times
to reach all the specimens as they develop from the eggs that may be in the
bed. A more lasting poison is corrosive sublimate dissolved in alcohol. This
kills whenever brought into contact with the bugs, and the alcohol, when
evaporated, leaves a deposit of a very fine white powder which is extremely
poisonous and almost certain death to all the bugs that may come into contact
with it.

The plant bugs are winged and the membrane in the wing cover is without
veins. There are only a few species, mostly very small, occurring in flowers,
and predatory in habit.

Family REDUVIIDZ.

Called the ‘‘ Pirate bugs’’ or ‘‘ Assassin bugs’ from their predatory habits.
They have long legs, the anterior often enlarged for grasping, a long, very
narrow head with small though prominent eyes and a short, very stout curved
beak, which is rigid and cannot be folded back against the head. These char-
acteristics and especially those of head
and beak render this family an easily ps
recognizable one. Their predatory habit \
renders them decidedly useful and, from S.
the fact that quite a number of them

have become adapted to life in cities,
they are of essential service in keeping SS >
down shade-tree pests.

Ee

Most of them resent being handled
and will, if they get the chance, puncture
the hand or, if they happen to alight on
an exposed surface and are disturbed, —
they may ‘‘bite’’ on general principles.
The bite is severe and poisonous, often
causing intense pain and more or less Fig. 62.—Head and mouth parts of a Redu-
swelling which may persist for a long viid; enlarged.
time, while local effects may be notice-
able for months.

During the summer of 1899 numerous cases of bites from ‘‘kissing bugs’’
were reported in the newspapers, a few of which had an undoubted basis of
fact. One species, not yet taken in New Jersey, is common in the Southern
States, where its popular name, ‘‘the big bed-bug,”’ sufficiently explains its
habits. Another species that lives in houses has the more satisfactory habit of
feeding upon flies, mcths and bed-bugs; but this is rarely seen, because of its
habit of covering itself with dust and odd fibres so that it looks like the little
masses of dust that will escape the broom in corners and along the wall.

Family BELOSTOMATIDZ.

This family contains the ‘‘ giant waterbugs”’;
oval flat creatures with keel-like bodies beneath,
short powerful beak, large forelegs fitted for
grasping and long, broad hind legs fitted for
swimming. At the anal extremity is a short
strap-like appendage.

They are predatory in character, feeding on
all sorts of acquatic insects, tadpoles and even
small fish and become two or more inches in
length in some species, At night, at certain
seasons, they fly from pond to pond and at this
time are often attracted to electric lights in
great numbers. For this reason they have been
called ‘“‘electric light bugs,’’ and occasionally
an unusual flight will inspire a reporter to give
them a foreign origin, or to invest them with
destructive powers—as when in 1899 the
“strangling bugs’’ from South Africa made
their appearance near Mt. Holly in great
swarms and developed into these bugs.

Orver DERMOPTERA.

The members of this little order are popularly known as ‘‘ earwigs,’’ from a
supposed habit of crawling into the ears of persons sleeping outdoors. They
are slender, with short wing covers and resemble ‘‘ rove-beetles’’ in shape except
for a forceps-like process at the end of the abdomen used in tucking the large,
elaborately plaited hind wings under the wing covers. The metamorphosis is
incomplete and the females of some species brood over their eggs until they are
hatched.

Though the species are common and injurious in some European countries
they are very rare with us and never troublesome in any way.

(147)

Orver ORTHOPTERA.

This order contains the grasshoppers, katydids, roaches and crickets, by far
the greater portion of which are feeders upon vegetation, and therefore actu-
ally or potentially injurious. The mouth parts are mandibulate 7. ¢., built for
chewing, hence stomach poisons are indicated whenever they can be usefully
employed.

In all the species the fore-wings are narrower and of firmer texture than the
secondaries and serve as covers merely, not as organs of flight. The second-
aries are folded more or less fan-like and usually hidden by the primaries, their
general shape being triangular and the texture thin and membraneous. The
metamorphosis is incomplete, and in some cases where the wings in the adults
are short or undeveloped the difference between pupal and adult condition is
not readily seen except by the specialist.

My own collections in this order have been fair, and data have been received
from a number of other sources. Prof. Lawrence Bruner, of the University of
Nebraska, who is authority in this order, has kindly revised the manuscript,
and it probably represents very fairly the actual fauna of the order as it occurs
in this State. Special acknowledgment should be made to Mr. Beutenmuller’s
list of the Orthoptera of the vicinity of New York.

Family BLATTIDA.

Commonly known as ‘‘roaches.’’ They are flattened, soft in texture, with
long, slender antennze or feelers and stout long spiny legs fitted for rapid run-
ning. They live in crevices, under bark or stones in the woods or in cracks
between boards and other hiding places in houses. Their favorite haunt is

about sinks or water-pipes whence a small, brown, full-winged form received in
New York the name ‘Croton bug.’? A much larger species, in which the male
has short wings and the female none at all, is known as the ‘‘ black beetle.’’
Both of these household pests are importations and not original inhabitants ;
hence there are yet some localities in the State where they are unknown. None
of the species are injurious to the agriculturist.

One of their marked peculiarities is the egg sac which develops attached to
the end of the female abdomen and is dropped in some concealed place when
the eggs are fully mature.

In houses, a liberal use of a mixture of equal parts of sweet chocolate and
borax ground together in a mortar is both attractive and fatal, or soft bread or
cake dusted with paris green may be used where there are no children who
might be endangered.

Family MANTIDA.

Of these peculiar insects we have only one species that has been taken rarely
in the southern section, and another will probably be found by more thorough
collecting. They have a very long narrow prothorax and immensely developed
forelegs which they use in holding or grasping their prey, for they are carniv-
orous. The other legs are feebly developed and the body is clumsy. The eggs
are laid in masses on twigs and are covered by a fibrous substance which holds
them together. Unfortunately they are not numerous enough to be of any
economic value.

These are the ‘‘ walking sticks’’; odd creatures, two inches or more in length,
very slender, with very long antennz and long slender legs which they so
dispose as to be practically invisible when at rest to all save the trained eye.
No wings are developed in our species which, while it occurs quite generally

These are the short-horned grasshoppers, perhaps the most common and best

four horny valves by means of which they lay their eggs in masses in the
ground or in soft or decaying wood, where they may remain all winter or may

hatch in fall ; in which case the partly grown larvze winter and are sometimes
seen on mild days even on the snow. The hind legs are much the longest and
formed for jumping, the antennz in this family rarely exceeding and often not
equalling half the length of the body.

154 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

Among the grasshoppers are many injurious insects which in some countries
take the form of devastating plagues. In New Jersey the insects are held in
check by their natural enemies and only in unusually dry seasons do they
become at all troublesome on cultivated crops. In these cases the arsenites
may be used. and sometimes the bran and paris green bait is the most effective
method. Where turkeys are allowed to run they keep down the insects
effectively.

Family LOCUSTIDZ.

These are the long-horned or meadow grasshoppers and the katydids. They
are generally green in color. The antennz are thread-like and much longer
than the body : sometimes two or three times as long. The hind legs are also
formed for leaping, but are much longer and proportionately more slender than
in the Acridid~. Inthe females the ovipositor is prolonged into a blade made
up of four flat portions, the whole sometimes straight, sometimes curved or
sickle-shaped. In the males the wing-covers overlap at the base and are modi-
fied into a sound-producing organ by means of which they produce either a
shrill continuous call or a chirping or rasping which, in one case, forms the
call Ka-ty-did, or Ka-ty-did-nt. Only the males are musical ; but in both sexes
an ear is found on each fore-leg. The head in most of the species is pointed
and the mouth parts are well developed, the mandibles especially being long
and sharp-pointed. This makes it possible for them to dig into tissue or to eat
seeds, as many do, of grasses. Several species occur on cranberry bogs and
some eat into the berries to get at the seeds; species of Scudderia being the
chief offenders. The most practical remedy in this case is a flock of turkeys,
which will keep down the species when young and drive off those that are
winged. Insecticides are of no practical value.

The members of this family winter chiefly in the egg stage, the eggs being
laid in grasses, reeds, stems of plants, bark of trees, even in the leaves between

adapted for this purpose. In one case the eggs are laid externally on an edge,

of the species are economically important in New Jersey.

We have a few wingless forms that live in cellars, caves and dark places gen-
erally which, from their humped shape, are sometimes called “camel crickets.”’
All our species belong to the genus ‘‘ Cewophilus,’’ and this is the least known
of those occurring in our State.

Family GRYLLIDZ.

The ‘‘Crickets’’ are distinguishable by the somewhat flattened form, the
forewings lying flat on the abdomen, but bent down so as to also cover the
sides. In the males the flattened surface of the forewings is modified into a
sound-organ with strong veins and glassy or transparent cells. In the female
the ovipositor is long and cylindrical, like a stout bristle, this character making
the family easily distinguishable from the Locustidg in which the ovipositor is

always blade-like and flattened. The field crickets are usually black or brown
in color and live in damp places in fields and meadows, jumping readily and
somewhat erratically. They are often very common on cranberry bogs and
have been charged with eating into fruit; but I have never convinced myself
that they actually do so until it is picked. I have found them under berry
crates with partly eaten fruit, but this eating was different from that done on
the vines. The shrill music of the cricket is well known and some species
come occasionally into houses. The eggs are laid into dry sandy soil late in
fall, though some forms winter in the adult stage. As a rule they are omniv-
orous and occasionally cannibalistic.

The ‘‘tree crickets’’ are white or green in color as a rule, sometimes light
reddish or yellowish brown, and as the name indicates they are found on trees
and shrubs. These are predatory, feeding largely on plant-lice, and therefore
beneficial ; unfortunately they lay their eggs in series into soft woody tissue
like the shoots of plum, raspberry, &c., and thus do almost as much harm as
good. They have never been seriously troublesome in my experience, and per-
haps it is a good scheme to do pruning with an eye to cutting out and destroy-
ing their egg masses.

Orver COLEOPTERA.

The Coleoptera or beetles are recognized by their hard or leathery wing

‘covers, which are laid over the abdomen so that they meet in a straight line

down the back, the hind wings being transversely folded beneath them., They
have mandibulate or chewing mouth-parts and feed on a very great range of
substances, animal and vegetable, as well in the larval as the adult stages:
hence many of them are seriously injurious while others are markedly beneficial.
The larvze vary much in shape; but never have more than six functional legs
and, in the pupal stage, are inactive ; hence the metamorphosis or transforma-
tion is complete.

The characters upon which classification is based are in the number of the

joints of the feet and in the shape of the antennez or feelers, the weevils being .

first separated off by the mouth-parts which are set at the end of a longer or
shorter beak or snout.

A few general suggestions only can be given here as to the manner in which
injurious and beneficial insects may be distinguished.

First, all weevils or snout beetles are plant-feeders and may be or become
injurious.

Second, all beetles that have only four apparent joints to the feet or tarsi, the
third joint lobed or split, are to be looked upon with suspicion, for they are

' likely to be either leaf-beetles, like the potato beetle, or wood-borers of the

family Cerambycide or long-horned beetles.

Third, beetles with 5-jointed feet or tarsi and the feelers short, with a leaf-
like club at the tip, probably belong to the leaf-chafers, like the June-bugs,
whose larvze are white grubs.

Fourth, beetles with 5-jointed feet or tarsi, the feelers long or short with
serrated or saw toothed inner edge and the prothorax loosely jointed upon the
hinder portions: these are click or snapping-beetles, whose larvee are wire-
worms.

Fifth, beetles with 5-jointed feet or tarsi, the feelers long, slender, the joints
similar to each other and not toothed, are probably predatory or beneficial.

Sixth, beetles in which the antennze are enlarged toward and at the tip or
clubbed, are likely to be scavengers and live upon dead or decaying animal or
vegetable matter, fungi and the like; but this is subject to many exceptions.

Seventh, beetles in which the hind tarsus or foot is four-jointed while the
others have five joints are likely to prove feeders in dead and dying wood or
other vegetable tissue ; but this is by no means uniform and many exceptions
occur, some groups being beneficial while others are injurious.

Our collections in this order are much more complete than in any other save
the Lepidoptera, for there are many collectors and students in and near the
State who have placed their data at my disposal.

Family CICINDELIDZ.

The ‘‘tiger beetles,’’ predatory in habit, long-legged, rather slender, active
beetles, running usually in open sandy spots, flying readily when disturbed.
The larvee live in vertical burrows in sandy soil, watching at the mouth for
such unwary creatures as come that way. They are of no economic value,
because their prey does not consist of injurious insects.

The “ground beetles,’’ usually black or dull brown in color, though
exceptionally, and on flower loving forms bright blue, green and yellow. The
darker forms hide during the day under stones, among roots of plants, in grass
at the base of trees, in burrows under ground, usually in sandy places, and in
other places of concealment. They fly at night, are often attracted to electric
lights, and are predatory in habit, with some unimportant exceptions. The

larvze are more or less fusiform, somewhat flattened above, dark in color, and
live in similar localities as the adults, though more concealed even during the

them feed upon the larvee
of injurious species. Thus

The ‘‘ water scavengers’’; usually black in color, sometimes with yellow,

convex above, flattened below. The antennz are short and clavate, or clubbed
at the tip ; hence they are easily distinguished, even by a novice, from the water
divers. A number of the smaller species have a little different shape and have
the surface rough and pitted, crawling, rather than swimming, on the soil and
vegetation underneath the surface. Some other small species live in moist
earth or in dung or other fermenting and decaying vegetation. They are of no

economic importance.

materials such as fungi are sometimes taken. ‘The antennz are capitate, or
terminated by a short, spherical club, which is very sensitive to the presence of
decay. They are of no direct benefit to the agriculturist, but very useful indi-
rectly by removing and changing the form of animal remains. Small animals
are buried completely, the larvee living in them as they slowly decay beneath
the surface.

Family SCYDM A\NIDZ:.

In this family and in the Pselaphidez, the list has been prepared by Mr. H.
W. Wenzel, who has devoted special attention to collecting material for the
past year or more.

He writes as follows: ‘In the first edition of the Catalogue the list of
species in these two families was very unsatisfactory, showing that very little
attention had been given to collecting these interesting little insects.

‘The following list is probably by no means complete, for a number of other
species will probably be found in the pine barrens and swamp districts of South
Jersey. A few species from the vicinity of Philadelphia have been placed on
the list, as there is every probability that they will be found under like condi-
tions across the river.

198 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

‘‘T am greatly indebted for the kindness extended to me by the Rev. P.
Jerome Schmitt, of St. Vincent’s College, for the determination of a number of
the difficult forms, and also to Mr. Wm. H. Ashmead for the determination of
the ants mentioned in this list.’’

All the notes and records not otherwise credited are furnished by Mr.
Wenzel : the species are all small and their habits are indicated by the notes in
the list.

Family STAPHYLINIDZ.

“Rove beetles’’; known by the very short wing
covers, leaving most of the slender, flexible abdomen
exposed. Usually long and slender in form, with
moderately clubbed antennze, They live generally on
decaying animal or vegetable matter, excrement,
fungi or in fermenting sap, and are the most uni-
versally distributed of all beetles. A few of them are
predatory in habit and some have been accused of
feeding on livifig plants ; but on the whole they are of
some importance to the Agriculturist as they aid in Fig. 83.—Staphylinid and
reducing his manure heap and the manure when its larva.
spread, into a form available to the plants.

Family COCCINELLIDZ.

The ‘‘Lady-birds’’ or ‘‘lady-bugs’”?; red or yellow with
black spots, or black with red or yellow spots, more or less
hemispherical in shape, sometimes a little more oval in outline.
The larvee are rather slender, fusiform, prettily marked with
black, blue and orange. With one exception all our species
are predatory and feed upon plant-lice, scale insects or other
plant-feeding larvae or grubs. They are of the greatest eco-
nomic importance and are one of nature’s principal checks to
plant lice increase. The scale feeders are chiefly the smail,
black forms, the red or orange species taking only the crawling
larvee incidentally. In its predatory habits the family as a
whole is exceptional among the clavicorns, or types with cub-
tipped antennee.

shorter, more robust, tapering to the end of the wing-covers, and these are
feeders in fungus or under the bark of trees. The clover-stem borer is the only
important species and this is best treated by cutting before the transformations
have been completed.

assisted by carbon di-sulphide, intelligently applied, will usually prevent loss on

Family DERMESTIDZ.

Oblong, stout, or short and chunky, heavily built beetles with short weak
legs, that may be very closely folded to the body. Covered with flattened hair
or scales, usually black and white mottled ; but sometimes with red, brown and
yellow scales. The larvee are
elongate hairy creatures with
tufts of bristles at the tip of
the abdomen, or bunches of
hair that may be erected or
spread out. They feed in all
stages on stored animal and
vegetable products and in-
clude the ‘‘larder beetles,’’
‘““leather beetles,’’ ‘‘ museum
beetles” and *‘ carpet beetles.”
They are, therefore, decidedly
injurious, though they do not

exposed, somewhat flattened above. The legs are short, the tibiz broad and
flat, fitted for digging. Antennze are short, with a rounded club, or capitate.
They are found in or under excrement and in decaying animal and vegetable

matter of all kinds. A few are flattened and more oblong and these live under
bark. The larvze feed a& a rule in the substances among which the adults are
found, “Asa whole the beetles are scavengers, therefore beneficial rather than
otherwise ; yet not of any great importance to the agriculturist.

Family NITIDULIDZ.

More or less flattened beetles as a rule, though there are some exceptions ;
with short clavate antennze, short legs, and abbreviated elytra. In general
shape they are oblong, often almost as broad as long, sometimes with very thin
margins. Some species resemble rove-beetles in appearance and most of them
have the tip of the abdomen more or less exposed. A fair proportion, however,
have the elytra complete and many of these are feeders on dead animal matter.
In a general way the members of the family are called sap beetles, but many
live in fungi or dry animal and vegetable matter, or under bark of trees. ‘‘Sap
beetles’? are most abundant in September and October on tree-stumps cut in
the spring of the same year, according to Mr. Linell, and Mr. Wenzel finds
them at the same season in decaying fruit.

The species can scarcely be said to be injurious and may be generally classed
as scavengers.

Family PARNIDZ.

These are aquatic beetles, with long legs not fitted for swimming ; they are
usually gray or black, sometimes striped with yellow, and are found clinging to
the under sides of stones or wood debris in streams or ponds. They are oblong
in shape, convex, the division between thorax and body well marked. The
larvee are flattened and somewhat resemble crustaceans in appearance.

Family HETEROCERIDZ.

These beetles are oblong, convex, densely clothed with short silken pubes-
cence. The thorax is almost square, the corners rounded, head small with the
mandibles projecting prominently. They are yellowish in color mottled with
blackish spots or bands, and live in galleries in sand or mud along the banks of
ponds, streams or ditches. They fly at night and are often attracted to light.
The larvze are found with the beetles and are supposed to feed upon the decayed
vegetation or microscopic organisms found there.

Small, oval, convex species, with rather soft elytra, head concealed and bent
down, antennz usually slender but sometimes serrated toward the tip. The
legs are slender and when disturbed the insects draw up so as to seem almost
hunched ; the broadest portion of the body coming a little before the middle.
They are beaten from trees or swept from shrubs along water courses and some
species are very common, though none are injurious.

Family ELATERIDZ.

The insects belonging to this family are commonly known as “‘ click beetles,”’
‘snapping beetles’’ or ‘‘spring beetles,’’ because of their power of springing
into the air when placed on their back and turning right side up in the process.
The prothorax is long, loosely jointed to the meso-thorax, prolonged backward
on the under side into a curved process which fits into a groove or cavity in the
meso-thorax. When the insect is placed on its back it elevates the body until

it rests on the head and tip of elytra, and
the end of the spine rests at the edge of
the cavity. The tension is then suddenly
removed and the curvature reversed, the
shoulders of the wing-covers striking the
surface hard enough to elevate the beetle
for quite a distance. In general the in-
sects are at least three times as long as
wide, broadest at the shoulders and taper-
ing posteriorly. The prevailing colors are
brown, black and yellowish, and the spe-
cies are not often spotted or banded. In
the adult stage they rarely do much feed-
ing. The larve are long, slender, a little
flattened, very tough and leathery in text-
ure, whence they are termed “ wire-
worms,’’ Some of these live in decaying
wood and are practically harmless; but
others live in the soil, feeding on the roots

of growing plants, chiefly grasses. Corn and
potatoes following sod are mainly injured and,
when the pests are abundant, very little can be
done to check them. Ordinary insecticide appli-
cations are entirely useless. Systematic fall
plowing of sod land is useful, because it destroys
the pupze and recently developed beetles. Heavy
dressings of kainit are useful in spring to kill
the smaller larvze, and these methods, combined
with short periods in sod, will serve to lessen if
they do not entirely prevent the evil. The in-
sects usually require three years from egg to
adult, and a number of species are injurious in
the same general manner.

CATALOGUE OF INSECTS. 253

Family BUPRESTIDZ.

These are stout beetles also resembling the click beetles in general form but
broader and the prothorax not free, so they have no powers of leaping. They
are metallic or otherwise brightly colored, the elytra smooth, striate or irregu-
larly sculptured. The head is retracted to the eyes, and the antennz are short,
rather slender and serrated or saw-toothed.

The larvz are wood borers, living under bark and making broad, rather
shallow furrows, galleries and chambers. They are somewhat flattened in
form, long, the segments well defined, head small, the anterior thoracic seg-
meuts very much broadened so as to give the creature a hammer-like form,
therefore they have been called ‘‘ hammer-heads,”’ or simply flat-headed borers.
A number of these are of economic importance because they infest orchard
trees. The larger species favor plants that are low in vitality from injury or
other causes, hence trees may be protected by keeping them in healthy, growing
condition. Others. however, belonging to the genus Agri/us, of which the beetles
are long, slender and cylindrical, attack plants in full vigor. One of these
causes a gall on blackberry canes. These galls should be cut out in winter and
burnt with the contained grub. Or the shoots made up to the first of July
should be cut off at the surface because in them larve of the new brood are
contained, depending for next year’s crop on the shoots made later in the
season.

The sinuate pear borer makes wavy galleries in pear trees and sometimes
kills them. Trees may be protected by covering with paper May 20 to July Ist
to prevent the exit of the insect from the tree or laying eggs on the trunk, ora
heavy coat of whitewash may be maintained for the same period, adding an
ounce of paris green to each pail of wash.

varieties, some of which have names, The
larva is the ‘“‘flat-headed apple-borer,’’
which attacks also other fruit and many
forest trees, sometimes becoming injurious.
It favors trees low in vitality, hence keeping
trees in good condition is a good protective
measure. Where they are actually in the
wood they can be cut out, their location
being usually discernible by a slight dis-
coloration of the bark.

narrow, somewhat flattened beetles, with soft, leathery wing covers and a flex-
ible abdomen, The antennz are usually long, the joints more or less evidently
serrated, and sometimes even flabellate in the male. The interesting feature in
a number of the species is the power of emitting a phosphorescent light from
the tip of the abdomen. This light is entirely in the control of the insects, and
varies in the different species. The ‘‘ glow-worms’’ that are sometimes seen in
the grass are the larvce or wingless females. In the larval stage they feed on
snails or on other soft-bodied insects.

These insects resemble the preceding by the generally soft wing-covers, but
they are shorter, broader, the elytra not nearly so long and often a little trun-
cated posteriorly, the broadest part of the body coming near the end of the
wing covers. In the species of Col/ops there are orange-colored. protrusible
vesicles at the sides of the thorax which are supposed to be defensive in char-
acter. The antennz are short, a little enlarged at the tip and often curiously
knotted in the male.

All of them are found on flowers or herbage, some only in low or moist loca-
tions, and they are said to feed on insect eggs, larvze and smaller insects gener-
ally. The larvze, so far as known, are predaceous,

Family CLERIDZ.

The flower beetles are firmer in texture than those of the last preceding fam-
ilies, yet not so hard-shelled as are the click beetles, or even the following
Ptinids. The feelers are usually more or less serrated or saw-toothed, but may
also have a distinct club or comb at the tip. The head is of good size, with
large eyes, the thorax being narrower than either head or elytra. The latter
cover the abdomen completely and are often clothed with hair. In color they
vary, but are usually bright, sometimes shining, and often prettily banded.
The beetles may be found on flowers or running on the trunks of trees, where
they somewhat resemble ants in their motions. The genus /Vecrodza lives in all
stages on carrion, and is the exception in a family in which most of the larve
thus far known are predatory. These larvee are usually red or brown in color,
and are found under bark or in the burrows of wood-borers, upon which they
feed. One of the species, Chaviessa pilosa, has developed into an effective
check for the ‘‘sinuate pear-borer,’’ and others are undoubtedly useful in keep-
ing down other wood-borers. Their work is done under cover, and is rarely
noticed ; hence the extent of the benefit derived from them is unknown.

The European Clerus formicarius has been intentionally introduced into.
West Virginia as a check to the bark-beetles that seriously damage timber
there ; but there is not, as yet, any definite information concerning the success.
or failure of the attempt at acclimatization.

Family PTINIDZ.

A very interesting group of beetles, varying greatly in form, so that no general
description is adequate, and only the fact that the prothorax extends forward over
the head somewhat hood-like, is of general application. They are hard in texture
and the elytra, which may be smooth, striate, punctate, shining, hairy or scaly,
are not abbreviated but cover the entire abdomen. The head is usually well
bent under, not visible from above, and the antennz are slender, with a prom-
inent serrate, lamellate or pectinated club, though sometimes rather evenly
serrate. They live on dry vegetable or animal products, usually the former,
and some of them bore into the wood-work of old houses and old furniture
making a ticking sound that gives them the name death watch. All sorts of
things, from Belladonna roots to cigars, or even gun wads, serve as food; but
only a few species become economically important.

The larvz occur with the adults and are white, soft, grub-like creatures, curled
in a semi-circle like the white grubs and covered with short stiff hair or bristles.

A. bicaudatus Say. The ‘‘apple twig borer,’’ found throughout the State
more or lesscommonly. The adult bores into apple twigs at a bud and
makes galleries varying in length for food and shelter only: the larva
lives in the roots of the green or ‘“‘cat’’ briar and in dead grape vines:
remedial measures are, therefore, to destroy these breeding places.

Contains only two species of very long, somewhat flattened and very roughly-
sculptured beetles. The head and thorax narrower than the wing covers. and
the eyes prominent. They are brown in color, the sculpture of the elytra con-
sists of deep grooves, separated by elevated ridges, the punctures very beauti-
fully impressed when seen under the microscope, and the surface clothed with
scales. They are found on dead wood or under bark, and are not in any way
injurious—nor on the other hand appreciably useful.

Family LYMEXYLIDZ..

Only a single species, brown in color, very long, s'ender, cylindrical, taper-
_ ing posteriorly and covered with a very fine silky pubescence. It is very rareas
an adult, though the larva, or the very slender, irregular boring which it makes
in old oak wood, is more frequently seen. A European species, Z. mavale, has
been extremely destructive to ship timber, and some damage is done by this or
an allied species in our Southern States ; in New Jersey no injury has yet been
caused.

Family CIOIDA.

Small oblong beetles, brown or black in color, convex above, with short,
clubbed feelers, the head retracted though not concealed. They, do not exceed
¥% inch in length, live in fungi or decaying wood, and are not of economic
importance. The family is of small extent ; we have very few species in New
Jersey, these are rarely well represented in our collections, and are, as a rule,
undetermined. The laryz occur with the adults, are grub-like in form, and
have two curved spines at the end of the tail.

Family LUCANIDA.

The ‘‘stag beetles,’ so-called because the male has in some cases very large,
branched mandibles, somewhat resembling a stag’s horns. Our common
species, however, are better known as ‘‘ pinching bugs,”’ the mandibles being of |
moderate size and not branched. ‘The beetles are all large and recognizable by
having a leaf-like club at the end of antennz, the parts of which cannot be
closely opposed to each other or folded.

The larva are white grubs and live in decaying wood. Those of Passalus
cornutus are very common in old stumps and logs and are peculiar in having
four feet only developed. They are not in any case injurious.

PASSALUS Fabr.

P. cornutus Fabr. Common everywhere throughout the State in rotten wood.

Family SCARABAIDZ.

These are the ‘‘lamellicorn’’ beetles, iu which the antenna has an oval club
at the tip, composed of from three to seven leaves or Jamelle, usually much
longer in the male. These leaves are closely opposable, so that at rest the club
seems solid. The species vary much in shape and appearance, and range from
small to very large; in habits, from feeders on leaves to
burrowers in excrement. In all of them the legs are
formed for digging, the fore-tibize being almost always
flattened and toothed at the outer edge. The tarsi are
generally long, except on the fore-legs, and always 5-
jointed, so that the insects are easily recognizable.

The larve are white grubs and live in decaying wood,
in excrement, in decaying vegetation generally, or in the
ground on the roots of plants. They are white or yellow
in color, with a brown, horny head bearing prominent
mandibles. They are much wrinkled and enlarged toward
the posterior extremity, where they end in a smooth,
obtusely-rounded, often discolored sac. They lie partly
coiled up, the tip of the abdomen usually about touching
the long, spiny legs.

The feeders in excrementitious matter are harmless, of
Fig. 117.—Antenna of a2 eourse, but so much cannot be said for those that feed

Seen peer underground on the roots of plants. Grass lands are, as

ieee REIN: a rule, infested, and in some cases lawns are completely

destroyed by the grubs which have sheared off every root

at acertain depth. These are usually the larvie of the ‘‘fig-eater.’’ In some

cases strawberry fields become infested and many plants are destroyed by the

larvee of ‘‘ May-beetles’’ or ‘‘June-bugs.’’ Corn and other plants are rarely

attacked in our State, where, as a whole, white grub injury is not especially
severe.

Remedial measures are largely unsatisfactory when once the grubs have
established themselves. In lawns a herosene emulsion washed down by an
abundance of water is tolerably satisfactory, but in the field this becomes
impractical. A free use of the salty fertilizers, especially kainit, often serves
as a palliative, but it is not at all reliable in all cases or on all soils.

Fall plowing turns out recently matured beetles and pupze and lessens the
adults for the ensuing year, and this is a good general practice where the grubs
are abundant.

In rare cases, e. g. the ‘‘rose-chafer,’’ it is the adult and not the larva that
becomes injurious, and the methods of treatment must be modified accordingly.

274 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

The ‘‘rose chafer’’ appears in June, sometimes in immense swarms, and
attacks flowers of a great variety and also leaves and blossoms of grapes, often
completely ruining the crop. Because of their immense numbers poisons are
comparatively ineffective, acting slowly, and the killed specimen being immedi-
ately replaced by a new arrival. On grapes two or three days will serve to
ruin the crop, and while bordeaux mixture is a repellant to an extent, it must
be supplemented by persistent gathering in umbrellas, &c., until the grapes are
set or until the brunt of the attack is over.

‘‘June bugs’’ occasionally attack fruit blossoms, eating through the stems
and causing them to drop; recently they have done some injury to chestnut,
and as these creatures fly after dark protection is less easy. In fact, except in
a free use of lime and paris green we have no resource unless the plants are
actually covered by a netting, which is, of course, impractical except on a very
limited scale.

Family SPONDYLIDA.

Oblong, brown, somewhat flattened beetles, with rather short antennz; the
tarsi 5-jointed but the fourth short and the third somewhat lobed. The thorax
is almost square, well separated from the rest of the body and the mandibles
are rather prominent, the head horizontal.

PARANDRA Latr.

P. brunnea Fabr. Occurs throughout the State, but rarely common, V,
VI and VII: breeds in a variety of deciduous and coniferous trees
(Ch):

Family CERAMBYCIDA.

These are the ‘‘long-horned beetles,’’ so called because the antennz or feelers
are as long as or much longer than the body. The body is more or less cylin-
drical and elongate, though many of them are much flattened and only the
thorax being without a lateral margin or suture in most instances carries out
the idea of a cylinder. The front is vertical and the mandibles are usually stout
and sharp pointed. The tarsi are appar-
ently four-jointed only the third being
deeply lobed.

The larvae are wood-borers, though a
few bore in herbaceous plants. They are
more or less cylindrical, the joints well
marked. the thoracic joints enlarged.
They resemble the larvze of the Buprestids

Fig. 123.—Leg structure in the Phytophaga; in general shape but are not flattened,

showing the characteristic tarsi. hence they are called the ‘ round-headed ”’ .
borers. They live chiefly in the solid or
heart wood and few of them bore in the sap-wood of living trees On dead or
dying trees or in, stumps some species live between bark and wood, often in
such numbers as to detach the bark completely.

Some species bore into live healthy wood, and these must usually be kept out

by mechanical barriers

PRIONUS Geoff.

Fig. 124.—Prionus laticollis \arva, pupa and adult.

P. laticollis Dru. Occurs throughout the State; the larva is a root-borer in a
great variety of trees and shrubs, often causing severe injury to black-
berry and grape: have also found it in apple and cherry. Where it
attacks blackberry there is nothing to do but pull out the affected plant
and kill the borer: it lives three years in this stage, and the plant is
doomed at any rate.

Fig. 131.—Round-headed apple-borer, Saferda candida; a, larva: b, pupa; ¢, adult.

S. candida Fabr. Throughout the State, late May to August. The larva is
the round-headed apple-borer which does great injury in orchards each
year, especially in South Jersey: it also breeds in quince, which is even
more injured than apple, and in Crate@gus. The larve can be cut out
when first noticed ; but the best practice is to protect the base of the tree
by a wire netting kept at a distance of half an inch from the trunk on all
sides. Heavy whitewash with paris green is also used, and indeed any
mechanical protection that keeps the beetle from the bark a distance of
from eighteen inches to two feet above the surface.

Family CHRYSOMELIDZ:.

These are the ‘‘leaf beetles’? which have the same tarsal structure as in the
Cerambycide, but have the antennze much shorter, rarely as long as the body,
the joints comparatively stouter and larger toward the tip. The species are
rarely cylindrical, the thorax usually with a lateral margin or a distinct suture.

The larvee are ‘“‘slugs’’ or ‘‘grubs,’’ usually also leaf-feeders, stout and
chunky like the larva of the potato beetle ; but some of them are leaf or root
miners, and these are long and slender. In this family there are a considerable
number of injurious species in both adult and larval stages, and as a general
rule the arsenites are available against them. Yet there are so many modifica-
tions that no universally applicable suggestions can be made.

Fig. 133.—The 12-spotted asparagus beetle: a, adult; 4, larva; c,d, segments of same: all enlarged.

C. asparagi Linn. Common wherever asparagus is cultivated, throughout
the season and often injurious : an imported species.

If the larvze occur on young plants brush them to the ground on the middle
of a hot sunny day. On larger plants apply fresh dry-slaked lime early, so as
to reach them when they are a little moist. In bearing fields let trap shoots
grow until covered with eggs and then destroy them: keep this up throughout

the cutting season and this will reduce the other broods. Destroy all volunteer

asparagus.

C. 12-punctata Linn. Also

which has been working

D. vittata Fabr. The ‘‘striped cucumber beetle,’? common throughout the
State, April to October, often seriously injurious to cucurbs of all kinds ;
the beetle eats into the stem at the surface, the larva mines in it a little
under ground. Hibernates as an adult. Remedial measures vary and
generally result in an effort to keep away the beetles until the vines are
well established. This is sometimes accomplished by planting an excess
of seed so as to allow the insects to killa number and yet leave enough
for the farmer: sometimes ground tobacco at the base of the plants is
used as a repellant and this is good if it be ground fine. Sometimes the
beetles are driven with air-slaked lime or plaster, and this method is
general in parts of Gloucester and Salem Counties. Occasionally
carbolized lime or plaster is used, and sometimes kerosene or turpentine
is mixed with plaster. All these are good, and-the best is that which
succeeds best with the individual farmer.

These are the pea and bean weevils, the larvee of which live in the seeds of
leguminous and other plants The beetles are short and chunky, the wing
covers cut off square behind, the abdomen obese, head small, posterior legs long,
the thighs swollen as if for jumping. In
color they are usually gray, mottled with
black and white, the markings formed of
scales and hair covering the surface, so that
when these are rubbed off the beetles are
mostly uniform black,

The injury is chiefly done to the stored
product, peas, beans and lentils being rarely
free, and several larvee being usually found

The ‘‘darkling beetles’’ are usually black or dark brown in color, oblong or

rather clumsy and awkward legs. The anterior and middle feet or tarsi are
5-jointed, while the posterior are 4-jointed only, and this is a character easily
seen in these insects which are usually of moderate or rather large size. In
addition the antennz are moniliform or bead-like and the mouth parts rather
small and not at all prominent. Asa rule they are feeders on fungi or on dead
or dry wood or other vegetable products ; hence scavengers rather than any-
thing else. The larvce are long, slender, often flattened a little like a wire-

Represented by only three species in our fauna, none of them in the least
harmful, nor, on the other hand, beneficial. Head and thorax are rather nar-
row, of about equal size, nearly cylindrical, the elytra abruptly broader, so
that distinct shoulders are formed. In colors the species are black or bronzed,
while the texture of the wing covers is decidedly thin or somewhat flexible.
The adults are found on flowers, leaves, or under bark of trees, while the larvce
are credited with predatory tendencies.

Family MELANDRYID&.

The beetles of this family are also practically unimportant to the agricul-
turist, having the same general habits as those of the preceding families of the
Heteromera, i. e., where the hind tarsi have four joints only. They are very
diverse in form, but usually slender, often elliptical in outline, convex or flat-
tened, smooth or striate, usually densely clothed with fine silky hair or pubes-
cence, the antennze moderate in length, the palpi often very long. The head
is hidden in the thorax as far as the eyes, and the prothorax is nearly or quite
as broad at base as the elytra. They are feeders in dry wood, dry fungi and
dry vegetable matter generally. The larve are of the usual slender, cylindrical
form, the head thorax and tail segments being chitinized.

little convex. Only three species occur thus far in New Jersey and these are of
no economic importance.

antennze. This resemblance, with the difference in the structure of the foot
joints, makes the species easily recognizable. It occurs on dry branches and is
rare; therefore of no economic importance.

Family MORDELLIDA.

Small, usually wedge-shaped beetles, covered with fine silky hair, which, on
the black species, sometimes forms lines, bands or spots on the upper side.
The hind legs are usually very long and stout, fitted for leaping ; the abdomen
is produced into a more or less obvious style or pointed process, the antennz
are long and slender, more or less serrated, and the thorax is as wide at base as
the elytra. They are found on flowers or on dead trees, and are sometimes
brightly colored and banded. Most of them are common, at least locally, and
dozens of them may often be taken from a single cluster of Spzx@@ blossoms.

Few of the larvee are known, and these are long, slender, and live in decay-
ing wood or the pith of plants. None of them are of economic importance.

Family PYROCHROIDA..

Rather large, flattened beetles, bright blue, black or orange in contrast,
thorax narrower than the elytra, the latter not very hard in texture and some-
what widening posteriorly. The antenne are either strongly serrated or, in
the males, with long comb-like processes. The beetles are usually rather rare,
are found about dead or decaying trees and in these live the larvee, which have
a broad head, stout legs and two spines on the last abdominal segment.

None are of economic importance.

Family MELOIDZ.

Contains the ‘‘ oil beetles’’ and ‘‘blister beetles.’”’ They are soft in texture,
usually slender and cylindrical, the thorax narrower than either head or elytra.
The antennze are moderate in length, sometimes curiously knotted or otherwise
modified in the male, and the insects are as a whole loose-jointed and sprawly
in appearance. They vary in color, and are often striped or spotted sometimes
metallic and occasionally banded. In the adult stage they feed on plant tissue,
and are sometimes seriously harmful. One of them is known as the ‘‘old
fashioned potato beetle,’’ and this frequently comes in swarms in late summer,
occasionally with or replaced by an ally, and it, or they, sweep through a gar-
den or field before the farmer realizes the nature of the attack. They especially
favor beets and certain compositze when in flower, a black species occurring in
swarms locally on the golden-rod. Asa rule they disappear as suddenly as they
come, some species being found in swarms on one day only. Others remain a
week or two, and are then best gathered into kerosene pans, if at all possible.
The arsenites kill them slowly, and a swarm that feeds for a day or two before
application is made and a day or two before the specimens die has done about
as much injury as would have been caused without treatment of any kind.
Driving them off is sometimes practiced with fair success, and may be resorted
to when circumstances favor the method.

Curiously enough, many of these insects are markedly beneficial in the larval
stage, since they form one of the most important checks to grasshopper increase.
The eggs are laid in a variety of places, but always the young active creatures
that hatch from them hunt upa grasshopper egg-pod and reach their full devel-
opment there. A season when grasshoppers have been unusually abundant is
almost certain to be followed by one in which blister beetles become destructive,
while grasshopper increase depends upon droughty conditions in late summer.

The life cycle is interesting, and some of the species live in the nests of
bumble and other bees, hence are injurious in this stage also.

E. vittata Fabr. Throughout the State; often destructive in late summer to
potatoes and other garden crops or to flowers: the ‘‘old fashioned ”’
potato beetle.

E. cinerea Forst. Throughout the State in August, with much the same
habits as the preceding ; but not so often injurious : both of these species
are more common north of the middle of the State.

E. pennsylvanica DeG. Throughout the State, late, VIII and IX, common
on Solidago.

POMPHOPGA Lec.

P. znea Say. Woodside (Bf), Westville (Li), Anglesea (W), adult some-

Family RHIPIPHORIDA.,

Contains wedge-shaped or clumsy, almost shapeless forms, with short, some-
times pointed wing-covers, beyond which the hind wings sometimes project so
as to cover the abdomen. The head is bent down, the antennz are serrated
in the female and flabellate in the male. The adults are rare, occur on flowers,
and the larvze are parasitic, some in the nests of wasps, and some on cock-
roaches,

Family STYLOPIDZ.

This family is represented in our State by a single species only, which has
been denied a place in the order. It is exceedingly minute, the male only is
winged, lives for only a very short time; the female never leaves the body of
the paper wasp in which the species is parasitic.

Our only species is

XENOS Rossi.

X. peckii Kirby. I have taken Polistes with the head of this species project-
ing between the abdominal rings occasionally, in all parts of the State.

RHYNCHOPHORA.

The remaining families in the order belong to the series Rhynchophora, or
snout beetles, sometimes classed as a sub-order, also termed curculios or
weevils. Their chief character is expressed by the name, i. e., the head is pro-
longed into a beak or snout, at the end of which the mouth parts are situated.
This beak or snout varies much in length, and is sometimes so short that it
would hardly be noticeable. The thorax is cylindrical, however, without seam
or suture at the sides, and the tarsi or feet have the joint before the last lobed,
which character will usually serye to identify the series when the mouth struc-
ture leaves it in doubt. It may be generally said that all the species are plant
feeders, and are or may be injurious.

The larvee are white, much wrinkled, stout, fleshy grubs, usually without
legs, with a yellowish head, and they tend to curl up like a ‘‘ white grub.”
These also are vegetable feeders as a rule, and many of them are great pests.
There are a number of families of the snout beetles based on good structural
characters, but which are not readily seperable by the amateur. No attempt at |
definition will be made, therefore, with most of them, and individual genera
or species will be commented upon where necessary.

Family SCOLYTIDZ.

These are the ‘‘bark-beetles.’? They are usually cylindrical, or nearly so,
often with the end of the elytra truncate and sometimes armed with teeth in
the male, the head bent down and retracted, often overshadowed by the pro-
thorax, which may be rugose or otherwise roughened anteriorly, the legs short
and capable of being closely folded to the body. They are borers in wood or
bark, sometimes making galleries in the heart wood, sometimes remaining in
the cambium layer and mining partly in the bark and partly in the wood. In
the latter case the parent beetle usually makes a central gallery along the sides
of which eggs are laid: the larvz hatching from these eggs make galleries of
their own, increasing in size as they diverge from the center. When full grown
they pupate at the end of their galleries and emerge as adults through little
round holes. Of this type is the common fruit-bark beetle.

Others that bore in the heart wood differ in habit. Here in many cases the
parent beetles make the galleries which serve for the propagation of a peculiar
fungus growth termed Amérosia, and upon this the larvee as well as the adults
feed. The habits of some of these beetles are very interesting.

It is perhaps a rule, though there are many exceptions to it, that these insects
attack only trees that are not entirely healthy or have been injured locally or
generally. The type making galleries in the sap wood conform to this rule
quite usually.

To this class belongs the worst pest of this family that we have in New
Jersey, the fruit bark beetle, and here we should stimulate and keep our trees in
healthy, vigorous growth to avoid injury. A tree that once becomes generally
infested by this beetle had better be taken out at once and burnt.

Against species that attack healthy trees we have no remedy ; but fortunately
these are rare in New Jersey and none of them attack our orchard trees.

Mr. A. D. Hopkins of the West Virginia Experiment Station has kindly
assisted in this family and is authority for most of the notes on the food habits.

Orver LEPIDOPTERA.

This order contains the butterflies and moths, easily recognized by the scaly
clothing, which, except in rare cases, covers the body and wings, both pairs of
which are used in flight. The head is connected with the thorax by a distinct
neck, and the mouth parts are developed into a long tube-like tongue coiled
between the palpi when at rest, and used only for sucking up liquid food. In
the adult stage the insects are therefore harmless, and, indeed, the butterflies
add much to the beauty of the fields and roads
by their bright coloring, when flitting from
flower to flower in the sunshine.

The larvze of these handsome creatures are cat-
erpillars, with mouth parts formed for chewing
and biting, feeding mainly upon growing vegeta-
tion, and therefore distinctly injurious. When-
ever they feed openly the arsenites or other
stomach poisons are available against them.

In this order the collections are good in the
Macro-lepidoptera, and probably few species wil]
be added in most of the families listed ; but in
the Micro—or small—lepidoptera, much work
yet remains to be done.

As the order is listed here it differs totally from the arrangement in the first
edition. In no order has the classification been so completely changed, and it
has not been easy to connect the two lists: in fact in many cases it has not
been even attempted, though usually a portion at least of the terms used in the
old list have been cited as synonymis, to afford a clue where most needed. These
synonyms, by-the-bye, must be strictly taken to refer only to the names as used
in this list, and the citation means no more than that the names grouped here
under one name were, in whole or in part, found under the name printed in
the first edition.

In a general way the arrangement suggested by Dr. Harrison G. Dyar has
been followed, but Hampson, Packard and Carpenter have also been compared,
the present list agreeing with neither, but forming a compromise in order to
retain so far as possible the family and sub-family terms at present in use in the
published lists.

doptera.

Series PAPILIONIDES.

These are the butterflies, or day-flies, characterized by having the antennce
enlarged into a club at the tip, whence they have also been called Ahopalocera,
or club-horned. They are usually of moderate or large size, brightly colored
and marked asa rule, and the wings, when at rest, are held upright or vertically
except in the skippers or Hesperidce, where the fore-wings are vertical and the
hind-wings are horizontal.

somewhat locally. The forms /ucia Kirby, marginata Edw., and violacea
Edw., occur in April and May; the forms zeglecta Edw., and pseud-
argiolus Bd. Lec., are found throughout the summer and until Septem-
ber. According to Beutenmuller the winter form lays eggs in the flower
buds of the dog-wcod, Cornus florida: the following brood oviposits on.
the flower stem of black snake-root (Cimicifuga racemosa) ; the fall
brood on Actinomeris. Other recorded food plants are wild bean ( Apzos-

L. comyntas Godt. Common everywhere from May to September. The
larva feeds on clover, Lespedeza,. Desmodium and Phaseolus; three.
broods occur during the season.

Family PIERIDA.

These are the ‘‘ cabbage butterflies’’ and among them are the most serious of
the pests in this series. The butterflies are white or yellow, of good size, more
or less black bordered, and with black spots in the disk of the wing. The legs.
are complete in both sexes, hence they, in common with the succeeding families,
are six-footed butterflies. The chrysalis is angular and is girthed as well as
fastened at the tail.

The caterpillars are cylindrical, usually green, often velvety in appearance,
without spines or other processes. Some feed on cabbage and other crucifere,.
others on clover or leguminous plants generally.

As against the cabbage worm the application of arsenites early in the season
is indicated. Or poisoned bran may be sprinkled on the head and this will be
attractive to the caterpillars, who eat it in preference to the leaf tissue.

PIERIS Schrank.

P. protodice Bdv. Lake Hopatcong (Pm); south of the red shale line it is
sometimes locally abundant: Mr, Beutenmuller records taking about 150
examples in two hours near Camden. I have taken it throughout the
season from June to September in Burlington, Gloucester and Salem
Counties. The larva is one of the ‘‘ cabbage worms,” and feeds on cruci-
ferze of all kinds.

Mr. Johnson records the variety vernalis Edw., from Riverton, April 16, and
Mr. Carney has it from Camden in May.

P. napi Linn.—oleracea Bdv. Scarce in the more northern parts of the
State : Camden, occasional (Carney).

The larva feeds on cruciferze of all kinds and is our original native cabbage
worm.

P. rapeze Linn. From March to November throughout the State. This is the
common cabbage butterfly introduced from Europe and the larva is some-
times very injurious on cabbage, cauliflower and other cruciferous plants :
methods of treatment have been already indicated.

(Cr), Carlstadt (Bt), Newark, VIII, 8-X, 12 (Sb), Waverly (Br), Staten
Island (Ds), Mount Holly, Westville, Atlantic City (Aaron), Camden
(Carney). The larva feeds on clover and Cassia.

and not common north of the red-shale; but the most common species
at Anglesea and along the shore in Cape May County in September. The
larva feeds on clover and Cassia.

Family PAPILIONID:.

These are the swallow-tail butterflies, large in size, the secondaries with a
‘tail-like extension near the hind angle, which gives them their common name.
They are usually black with blue and yellow spots, or yellow with black bands.
The legs are all complete and fitted for walking, the antennz being situated
close together on the vertex. The larve are unique in having a protrusible
fleshy process between the thoracic segments which gives off an intensely dis-
agreeable odor. The chrysalids are suspended bya girth at the miadle and also
fastened at the tail.

PAPILIO Linn.

P. ajax Linn. Not rare locally, in some seasons and single specimens have
been taken in almost all parts of the State. Newark (Soc), Staten Island,
VI and VII, New Foundland, VII (Ds), Hemlock Falls, VII, 1 (Br) ;
Mr. Brehme specifically records the variety marcellus. The larva on
Paw-paw.

P. philenor Linn. Throughout the State and sometimes common. Mr.
Brehme gives three broods: V, 1-VI, 25, VII, 10-VIII, 1, IX, 5-20. Mr.
Davis gives V to IX inclusive on Staten Island and records a specimen
November 2. The larva feeds on the Dutchman’s pipe, Aristolochia
sipho, and is sometimes abundant enough to defoliate vines completely.

P. polyxenes Fabr. = asterias Fabr. Occurs throughout the State, IV to
X, and is three brooded. The larva feeds on carrot, parsley, celery and
the like, and is sometimes injurious: hand picking is usually the most
satisfactory method, though arsenate of lead is effective where it can be
safely used. The record of P. drevicauda, in the previous list was based
on aberrant specimens of the present species.

P. troilus Linn. Not rare throughout the State wherever the food plants of
the larva occur, IV to IX inclusive: larva on sassafras, spice bush and
Laurus

380 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

P. turnus Linn. Everywhere in the State, V to IX, and sometimes quite

P. thoas Linn. — cresphontes Cram. Single examples occur throughout.
the State: Caldwell (Cr), Ft. Lee (Bt), Newark (Soc), Staten Island,
VIII and IX (Ds), New Brunswick (Sm), Trenton (Aaron). The larva.
feeds on orange, prickley ash and hop-tree ( P/e//a).

Family HESPERIDZ.

These are the ‘‘skippers,’’ so called because of their low, jerky flight. They
are usually small, stout butterflies, with tawny, black or smoky wings spotted
or marked with white or black, the wings comparatively small and thick. The
head is broad and the antennze are widely separated, the club gradual and
pointed, usually a little recurved at tip. The legs are all complete. At rest
these butterflies have the hind wings horizontal and the forewings vertical, so
that at all times the insects are easily recognizable.

The larvze have large heads, separated by a distinct neck from the rest of the
body, and feed mostly on grasses. The pupz are rounded, not angular, usually
partly incased in a slight cocoon, the group thus resembling the moths.

None of them are economically important.

Series SPHINGIDES.

These are the ‘‘hawk moths”’’ often seen flitting about flowers during the
day and mistaken for humming birds; but more often in the early evening,
hovering over deep flowers like Petunia or evening primrose, and extending
the long tongue to reach into the nectar. They are of moderate or large size,
very stout, abdomen long, conic, rarely with a fan-like tuft at the tip. The
antennze are fusiform and prismatic, with a short, re-curved tip, wings stout,
narrow and pointed.

The larvze are as characteristic as the adults, and most of them are furnished
with a curved horn on the dorsal surface of the tail segment, or in place of it a
polished eye-like spot. They look formidable, but are actually harmless, and
from their habit of sometimes resting with head and anterior segments elevated
they get their ‘‘sphinx’’ appellation.

384 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

In some species the tongue is nearly six inches in length when fully uncoiled,
but in some others it disappears completely. A few of the species are of some
economic importance.

According to Dr. Dyar, the larvee in this series have ‘‘tubercles IV and V
remote, V higher than IV, obscured after first molt. An unpaired process
bearing tubercles on the eighth abdominal segment.”’

Family SPHINGIDZ.

Series SATURNIIDES.

These are all large moths, and among them our American silk spinners. Dr.
Dyar finds in these larvze that tubercles IV and V are united, all the setae borne
on prolonged tubercles subject to various modifications. Usually an unpaired
dorsal tubercle on the eighth or ninth abdominal segment.

390 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

Three families are represented. The Satwrnizd@ are the largest of the species,
expanding up to six inches or more, the wings broad and usually with clear or
transparent discal spots. The mouth parts are aborted and the antennz in the
male have two branches or pectinations on each side of each joint. The larvze
are all silk spinners.

The Hemileucide are represented by only one species, black with a partly
transparent central band, the antennze with single pectinations on each side,
the joints very short and numerous.

The Ceratocampide are quite different in appearance, the wings narrower,
pointed at the apex, the antennze with two branches to each side of each joint,
but pectinated on the basal half only. The larvze are furnished with horns or
other processes, often becoming very large and formidable in appearance.
None of them are silk spinners and the pupz are formed under ground.

Several of the larvze in this series feed on cultivated plants and orchard tree,
but none are ever really troublesome. Their large size render them easily
visible and hand-picking is the best remedy. The species of 47zso/a sometimes
strip forest trees over quite an area; but have done no permanent injury in
New Jersey so far as my observations have extended.

Series BOMBYCIDES.

This series contains a large number of very diverse families, in all of which
the larvee have the sub-primary sete present, represented in the functional

armature even when most modified, tubercle VII converted into a leg plate ;.
IV and V, usually separate, [V moved up behind the spiracle ; I and II separate:

(except in Nola). Crotchets of abdominal feet rarely forming a circle.
There is scarcely a common, easily recognizable superficial character that can
be given for this series at large, and the families are best mentioned separately.

Family LASIOCAMPID.

Stoutly built, rather shaggy moths of medium size, with pectinated antenne,.
small, retracted head, slender palpi and short tongue. The wings are rather
short and broad, very densely clothed, usually with a pair of pale or darker
brown median lines. The larvze are lappet- and tent-caterpillars, some of them
being of economic importance.

The lappet-caterpillars are so called because they are much flattened and
have along the sides fringed processes which, when at rest, are so closely
applied to the surface upon which they lie that the insect becomes practically

invisible. None of these are plentiful enough to do harm. The tent-caterpil-
lars live in great colonies, which make a web or tent in a crotch and feed from
that point. They sometimes defoliate large trees or even entire orchards.

Tents should always be torn out and the larvee destroyed whenever noticed
and within reach. Spraying with the arsenites on the foliage surrounding the
nest will kill the larvae when young, The egg belts can be gathered and de-
stroyed in winter.

Family LIPARIDZ.

These are the ‘‘ tussock moths,’’ sombre gray species of moderate size, with
‘broad wings, broadly pectinated male antennz, and long hairy fore-legs, which
when at rest are stretched out forward. Inthe genus Vo/olophus, to which our
only injurious species belongs, the female is wingless. The caterpillars are
brightly colored and have truncated dorsal tufts or brushes of hair, and long
pencils at or near the extremities.

The ‘‘white marked tussock moth ’’ is double brooded, the wingless female
laying the eggs in a mass on the cocoon from which she has just emerged.
The eggs are held together by a snow-white frothy mass which hardens and
becomes brittle, and thus the winter is passed. Gathering these egg masses
from the trees in winter will save injury the following summer. The feeding
larvze succumb readily to paris green or other arsenites in their early stages.
The second brood, occurring in midsummer, may also be reached by gathering
and destroying the cocoons which are formed on trees, fences or any other con-
venient projection.

rows are not dominant.

Family ARCTIIDZ.

The adults are known as ‘“‘tiger moths’’ from their bright stripings. the
larvee as “‘ woolly bears’’ from the dense clothing of hair with which they are
covered. The moths are stoutly built, of moderate or small size, with a broad
head, rather small palpi and a functional tongue. The antenn:e vary, but are
often pectinated in the male, and most of the species are rather closely scaled.
Venation, as usual, is an important feature in the recognition of this family in
which ocelli or simple eyes are always present.

The larve are general feeders in most instances, but as a whole prefer low
plants, P/antago being an all but universal food. A few of the species are
sometimes troublesome in the garden, but they are easily controlled by hand-
picking. Some, like the fall web-worm, may become serious pests.

Incidentally it may be said that under some circumstances the hairy covering
of the larve may become poisonous. The hair is generally rough or barbed,
and this, forced into the skin when handling caterpillars, may lead to unpleas-
ant results.

Family NOCTUIDZ.

These are the owlet moths, with plump, robust bodies, short, stiff, triangular
primaries and broader secondaries. The antennz are usually about half the
length of the forewings or a little longer, simple, bristled, or, in the males,
sometimes pectinated. They are rarely seen during the day, and derive their
common name, ‘' owlets,’’ from their night-flying habits, their eyes in many
cases glowing with a phosphorescent light During the day they hide under
bark or stones, in out-houses, or wherever they can find shelter. Occasionally
they sit brazenly upon the trunks of trees or openly upon stones, their colors
and markings blending so perfectly with their surroundings that they are
invisible, except to the trained eye ; but at night they fly readily, many of them
being attracted to light.

The caterpillars vary considerably, but many of them are well known as
‘‘cut-worms,’’ and decidedly injurious. These may be controlled by using the
bran and paris green bait which is elsewhere described. The insects are fond
of the bran and will eat it in preference to their normal food. It should be
placed at the base of the hills to be protected when plants are set out.

Specially injurious forms will be noted under the insect heading.

Family HYPENIDZ.

These are the ‘‘snout moths,’’ so called because in many of them the palpi
are projected straight forward into a beak, though sometimes they are curved
sickle-shaped over the head. They are also known as Deltoids because many
of them, when at rest, have an outline like the Greek letter 4 de//a. They are
all obscurely colored moths of small or moderate size, living in wood or among
grasses. The larvz vary, some of them lacking one pair of abdominal legs:
they live in many cases on dead leaves or decaying wood, but also eat grasses
or other vegetation. None of them are economically important in New Jersey,

It may be added that in this family sexual modification has run wild, antenne,
feet, palpi and wings being modified in the species. The antennz have knots,

spurs or tufts as well as the normal pectinations. The fore-legs have a varied
assortment of hair pencils, and these slop over on the palpi of others, while in
one case the wing of the male is deeply notched, while in the female it is entire.
We are as yet at a loss to explain why these structures should be needed by

these insects.

H. humuli Harr. Quite generally distributed and recorded as common at
Caldwell by Mr. Crane. The larva feeds on hop and where that is culti-
vated it is sometimes rather plentiful.

It is more than likely that all the species that are distributed throughout the
Eastern United States will also occur in New Jersey; but the moths are not
favorites with collectors, are difficult to secure in good specimens and hence not
so well represented as are some other families.

Family NYCTEOLIDZ.

Obscurely marked gray species, in habitus like some of the ‘‘ bell moths ”’ or
Tortricids. It has the main structural characters of the Lithosiids, but differs
in venation.

NYCTEOLA Hbn.

N. revayana Scop Newark in July (Soc) : larva on willow. The species is
not at all rare, but from its appearance is usually mistaken for a Tortricid.

Family DREPANIDZ.

Moderate-sized, slender, broad-winged species, the forewings falcate, whence
they have been called hook-tips. The larvze have the anal pro-legs rudimentary
and the terminal segment prolonged into a tail-like process.

Super-family GEOMETROIDEA.

These are small or medium-sized moths with slender bodies, small heads and
very broad wings which are also, as a rule, frail and thin. The hind wings are
quite usually ornamented as are the fore wings, the lines often continuous on
both. Many species when at rest keep the wings extended and flat, much as
specimens are pinned in the cabinet.

The larvee are known as ‘‘span worms,’’ ‘‘ measuring worms”’’ or ‘‘inch
worms’? because of their peculiar method of progression. The abdominal legs
are in whole or in part obsolete and the caterpillar when in motion first extends
the body full length, then humps itself in the middle and brings the anal seg-
ments up to the thoracic feet. When the body is again extended the insect has
progressed nearly its own length. These caterpillars often so closely resemble
the twigs among which they move that they are with difficulty seen, and some
have the habit of stretching out full length so as to appear like a little spur or
twig. Some species are injurious on cultivated plants, but all are within reach
of the arsenites.

The family and sub-family divisions are based upon characters not readily
recognized except by the specialist, and no attempt is made to define them.

The recent revision by Dr. Geo. D. Hulst has been closely followed in the
arrangement ; but as this differs greatly from that used in the first edition, an
attempt has been made to give some of the synonymy asa guide. It should be
remembered that it is not intended to do more than to guide merely, and the
= sign must not be strictly interpreted.

structive in June. It rarely causes any notable loss with us, but has been
troublesome near Mount Holly. Thorough spraying with the arsenites.

Family NOTODONTIDZ.

Rather plump, robust moths of good size, with somewhat retracted head,
short palpi, rather short antennze and often weak tongue. The thorax is com-
paratively somewhat short, while the abdomen is usually long, cylindrical and
rather obtusely terminated. The legs are moderate or rather short. The wings
are rather long and not very broad, the inner margin often produced into a
tooth, lobe or similar process. The larvee are naked, or have only sparse hair ;
but often have spines, spurs, humps or other prominences. Sometimes the
anal legs are modified into slender processes resembling a long fork. Most of
them are solitary and live exposed, feeding on the foliage of trees and shrubs;
but some live in large colonies consisting of the members of one batch of eggs,
while a few others live in webs or small tents.

Several of the species are injurious, but arsenical sprays can be successfully
used in most instances.

Series TINEIDES.

This series is almost impossible of popular definition based on superficial
characters! There is no one criterion that will serve to make them recognizable
to the ordinary observer save that nearly all the very small species belong here.

In the larval stage tubercle VII is an ordinary wart and does not form a leg-
plate ; IV and V united except in the lowest forms, in the highest I and II are
also united. Crotchets of the abdominal feet usually forming a nearly complete
circle.

This latter character is easily seen in most of the caterpillars, a large propor-
tion of which live in concealment between folded leaves, in cases, or as borers
or miners in vegetable tissue. b

458 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

Super-family PYRALIDOIDEA.

This contains a large number of small or very small moths varying in appear-
ance and agreeing chiefly in having the hind wings with three free inner veins,
and along the costa the marginal and sub-marginal united for a short distance
though separated at the base and tip. The familes into which the super-family
is divided are more easily known.

The Pyraustidee have rather thinly scaled wings, the primaries pointed, the
secondaries never larger and sometimes very small. The colors are largely
yellowish or white, with deeper yellow markings and they may or not be con-
tinuous on both wings. Sometimes they are contrasting, white and black,
and many are red, brown and of other shades. The body is, as a rule, slender,
the head distinct and prominent, antennee slender, of good length, in the males
sometimes knotted or thickened. The larvee are nearly always green with pale
stripes and spots, or without any markings at all. The head and a shield on
the first thoracic segment, sometimes also the tubercles are shining black, brown
or yellow. They live in webs or tents and may be solitary as is the rule, or
social.

The family Pyralididee contains much greater variations in appearance,
some resembling the preceding, but with broader wings and brighter colors,
others with ashen gray, rough vestiture and broader-shouldered primaries.

The Phycitidee are ashen gray species, with narrower primaries and broader
secondaries, the latter without markings, the former banded and mottled with
blackish or brown. Usually they have a very smooth or even a glistening
appearance, and sometimes the contrasts in white and black are quite strong.
The larvee vary greatly in habit, but almost always live in a tube of silk, whether
they crumple an apple-leaf, live in a grain-bin or feed on scales.

The Galleriidze or ‘‘ bee moths”? are curiously streaked moths, with a notch
at the end of the forewing in the typical species, the costa very decidedly
arched. The larva of the bee moth lives on wax in bee-hives, mining a gallery
lined with silk through the centre of the combs, out of sight of the bees. There
is not much chance for them, however, in modern hives, carefully looked after,
nor in strong healthy colonies.

The Crambide& are slender moths with a distinct head, bearing long, project-
ing palpi, like some of the deltoids. The fore-wings are narrow, squarely cut
at the ends, the hind wings large and broad, closely folded when at rest under
the primaries, which are tightly wrapped around them. When at rest the little
moths look like slender cylinders, tapering from the tip of the pointed palpi to
the squarely cut-off end of the wings. These wings are generally streaked with
white, gray, yellow, gold and silver, some of the most brilliant combinations
being found on a very reduced scale. :

The larvze live in silken tubes on or below the surface of the ground, and
some of them are known as root web-worms.

The Pterophoridee close the Pyralid series and are known as plume-moths
because the wings are split up into from two to five plumes or feathers, which
makes the species recognizable at a glance. The caterpillars are hairy, and at
first sight resemble miniature Arctiids; but they spin up leaves, and of course
other differences of a radical character exist.

Family THYRIDZ.

Small but stoutly built species with small, short, more or less angulated
wings which are black or brown in color, with white or yellow semi-transparent
spots. The antenne are strictly thread-like or a little thickened in the middle,
and the insects have the habit of flying about bare or sandy places, quite early
in spring. Very little is known of the early stages save that they are not
injurious.

P. oculatana Clem. Delaware Water Gap (Pm).

Family SESIIDA.

Species of moderate or rather small size, often quite stoutly built, the wings
narrow and as a rule at least one pair in great part transparent or without
scales. Quite a number have both pairs practically without scales, and, as they
are usually more or less black, banded with yellow, they closely resemble wasps
orhornets. The antennz are usually spindle shaped and have a little tuft of
hair on the tips. In the male they are often pectinated.

The larvee are borers without exception, living in the stems, trunks, roots or
branches of living trees, sometimes causing serious mischief.

In this family the list has been looked over by Mr. Beutenmuller, who has
made it a special study.

Middlesex, Monmouth, Mercer, Burlington, Ocean, Atlantic, Cumber-

Island, and has been complained of from Essex and Bergen Counties. I
have no doubt it occurs throughout the State. Borers should be cut out
or bisulphide of carbon injected into the stem above the crown. Sum-
mer squashes can be planted early to attract the moths and save the late
varieties.

no doubt it occurs wherever blackberry or raspberry vines grow.

SANNINOIDEA Beut.

S. exitiosa Say. Common from June to September wherever peach is grown.
The larva is the common peach borer and seriously injurious in many
localities. Trees should be protected from June to September by wire
netting, newspaper, cement wash or other mechanical covering extend-
ing from two inches below to eighteen inches above the surface.

The variety edwardsii Bt., occurs at Westville (Jn).

SESIA Fabr.

S. pictipes G. and R. Newark (Soc), Staten Island, VI, VII (Ds), Ham-

peach, but rarely does marked injury.

S. scitula Harr. New Jersey (Bt). Breeds in and under oak and chestnut
bark and in old oak and willow galls.

S. pyri Harr. Generally distributed, Newark, VI, New Brunswick, Burling-

has not been, in my experience, injurious.

S. acerni Clem. Staten Island, VI & VII (Ds), Vineland, Bridgeton, Ham-
monton, Moorestown, Riverton and in other South Jersey towns. The
larva bores in maples and sometimes ruins the younger shade trees.

Jersey. It resembles the preceding and the larva also bores in maple.
Mr. Johnson has taken it near Philadelphia.

S. tipuliformis Linn. Generally distributed and flies in June and July. The
larva is the common currant borer and often does serious injury to the
plants. I have seen it in harmful numbers at Irvington, Hilton, New
Brunswick and Moorestown.

Super-family TINEOIDEA.

These are all small or very small species with narrow, often lanceolate, wings,
usually with very long fringes, especially on the secondaries. The antenne are
usually slender, moderate in length, but sometimes very long, the head often

set with closely-placed upright scales which look like a little plush cap. There
are exceptions to this type, and some of the species are large and shaggy, as the
Anaphorini, but the rule is as above given, There are several families, but
these are distinguished usually on characters that require special knowledge to
perceive, and no attempt will be made to define them. Small as the insects are,
some of them are very beautiful, and gold and silver scales are lavishly used on
a very diminutive scale,

The larvze are very largely miners in leaves or vegetable tissue generally,
though some live in seeds, nuts and even in animal matter, One species has
been found in powdered casein, while the habits of the ‘‘clothes moths’’ are
well known.

The list in this super-family has been prepared by Dr. Wm. G. Dietz, Hazleton,
Penna., from published data or notes and such specimens as were sent him for
determination by or through me or other correspondents, ‘The list prepared
by Mr. Beutenmuller for the previous edition, being based upon actual captures,
has been used in its entirety. For the present arrangement Dr. Dietz is entirely
responsible and to him should be credited all except the economic notes not
specifically credited to others,

Family COCHLIDIIDA..

These are moderate-sized or small moths with rather plump and shaggy
bodies, retracted head, weak tongue, and often pectinated antennz. The wings
are short and broad, often very densely scaled, the colors usually brown, often
with green contrasts.

The larvze are rather more easily recognized than the adults, from their slug-
like character. The feet are in large part obsolete, while the underside is
flattened, soft and fleshy, the larva using the entire under surface in walking.
Another peculiarity is found in the poisonous character of the spines clothing
these caterpillars, the tips being very finely pointed, easily detachable and
extremely irritating when they are imbedded in the flesh. In some cases they
cause serious swellings.

Dr. Dyar says concerning these larvee that most of them are feeders on any
smooth-leafed tree, and this may be assumed unless special food plants are
mentioned or unless cultivated species are injuriously affected.

which Prof. Comstock compares with flannel ; and, because of the wavy lines on

Family PSYCHIDZA:.

These are the “‘bag-worms’’; so called because the larvze make a sac or case-

them. The male moths only are winged, the wings transparent or thinly
scaled, black, the body very hairy, abdomen long and slender, antennze pec-
tinated. The females are grub-like and lay their egg in the sac which they
constructed as a larva.

T. ephemerzeformis Steph. The common ‘‘bag-worm’”’ or ‘‘drop-worm.’’
Occurs throughout the State on a very large variety of fruit and shade
trees. It is particularly injurious to Arbor vile hedges, which are often
entirely killed by it. The bags containing eggs hang on the trees all
winter, hatch early in the season, and the adults appear in late August
and September. Among remedial measures, picking off and destroying
all bags that are to be seen in winter takes first rank. If the larvz are
present on arbor vit, a strong arsenate of lead mixture should be used
to kill them, as this does not endanger the foliage.

Family LACOSOMIDZ:..

This family resembles the preceding in general structure, but has the wings
closely scaled and fully developed in both sexes. The larvee live similarly, but
the bag is always open at both ends,

CINCINNUS Blanch. = PEROPHORA Harr.

C. melsheimeri Harr. Generally distributed, not common. Newark, VI, 16
(Sb), near New York (Bt), Hopatcong (Pm), Ocean County. The larva
feeds in a flattened case open et both ends, on vak and winterberry (Bt) ;
the moth occurs in June and July, and has been usually beaten from the
trees.

Super-family TORTRICOIDEA.

‘‘The Tortricids are generally small moths, but as a rule they are larger than
the Tineids. They have broad front wings which usually end squarely. The
costa of the front wing curves forward strongly near the base of the wing;
when at rest the broad front wings fold above the body like a roof. The moths
are variegated in color, but are usually brown, gray or golden rather than of
brighter hues. Asa rule the hind wings are of the color of the body and with-
out markings ’’ (Comstock).

They are sometimes called ‘‘ bell-moths ’’ because some species with abruptly
widened wings greatly resemble in outline a bell.

The larve are largely leaf-rollers, living and feeding in concealment, more or
less sheltered from either contact or stomach poisons, and this makes them
difficult to deal with.

Some of them feed in fruits, and an example of this is found in the codling
moth, which infests the apple.

minuta Rob. Have it from every county
in the State: the larva feeds universally
on apple, but is also destructive on cran-
berry bogs where it is known as the “‘ fire
worm.’’ There are three broods, the
hibernating winter form being slate gray,
the summer broods orange. The most
satisfactory method of dealing with these
insects is to reflow the infested bogs when
they have hatched generally. If this is not feasible, hold the water as
late as possible to induce oviposition elsewhere.

These are usually large moths, somewhat resembling the Sphinges in outline
‘but with much smaller head, weak, short palpi and an obsolete tongue. The
antenne are also short and weak in proportion to the size of the insects, though
in the male they may be pectinated for at least part of the distance. The legs
are comparatively short and weak and, while the insects seem robust enough,
they yet give an idea of helplessness and weakness, which is borne out by the
feeble flight of the gravid female. In venation they are primitive.

The larvee are borers, living in the heartwood and they sometimes do con-
‘siderable injury.

Series MICROPTERIGIDES.

In this series we have a remnant of ancient conditions, the two pairs of wings.
being held together by a ‘‘jugum”’ or fold at the base of the fore-wings, as
occurs in the order 7vichoptera, from which the Lepidoptera are derived. The
two pairs of wings are similar in size and venation, and are fastened to a loose-
jointed body, to which are attached a minute head and a long cylindrical
abdomen.

The Hepialide are large or very large, known as ‘‘ ghost moths”’ from their
peculiar hovering silent flight. The MWicropterygid@ are small or very small
and also very rare, no specimen having been taken in New Jersey by any col-
lector, though I have no doubt that two or more actually occur with us.

Orver HYMENOPTERA.

In this order the adults have four wings with comparatively few veins and
cells, never netted, the secondaries usually smaller than the primaries, the two
pairs hooked together in flight, naked, not clothed with scales and usually
transparent. The mouth parts are mandibulate, the tongue often developed
into a long lapping organ, the ovipositor developed into a sting, an augur, a
saw or a drill, according to the habits of the insect. Metamorphosis com-
plete.

This order contains the bees, wasps, ants, sawflies, ichneumon flies and the
like ; a mixture of injurious and beneficial species, with the latter decidedly in
the majority. Our collections in this order are only fair and have been chiefly
made in South Jersey where Mr. William Fox, of the Academy of Natural
Sciences, Philadelphia, has collected rather thoroughly. A number of other
Philadelphia collectors have made frequent trips into New Jersey so that we
have a fair knowledge of the fauna south of Camden County. Mr. William T.
Davis has collected many species on Staten Island, Mr. M. S. Crane has taken
a number at Caldwell, and I have picked up a few almost everywhere, and this
gives us our knowledge of what occurs in the eastern, central and northern part
of the State.

The list as it stands, aside from the economic notes, definitions and comments,
is the work of Mr. William H. Ashmead, Assistant Curator of Insects in the
United States National Museum. All the divisions are in accord with his own
classification and the numbering of the families and sub-families accords with
that.of the complete arrangement. It will indicate by the breaks the number
of those not represented in the State.

In this list all the records and all notes not otherwise credited are my own.
No attempt has been made to define some of the families because based upon
characters recognizable only by the specialist.

Sub-order I HETHROPHAGA.

Super-family | APOIDEA.

This contains all the bees, social and solitary, and the insects are usually
more or less hairy, the hair plumose, feathered, twisted or branched, sometimes
dense, sometimes very sparse, sometimes evenly distributed, sometimes massed
at one point. The tongue may be long or,short, and may be either straight or
folded when at rest. The hind legs are often modified in the females and
workers to serve for carrying pollen, and sometimes the under side of the breast
or of the abdomen serves the same purpose.

Fig. 238.—Legs of bees, showing pollen gathering structures. A, the honey bee; 3, Melifona;
C, bumble bee.

The larvee are apparently legless grubs that live upon pollen or honey or a
mixture of the two ; sometimes fed as needed as in the hive bee, or more usually
stored in a cell in quantity sufficient to bring the larva to maturity.

The bees on the whole are decidedly useful, serving as pollenizers to our
fruits and flowers, some of the latter being completely dependent upon insect
aid for their continued existence.

Social bees are those in which workers are developed ; solitary are those in
which only males and females exist.

S. speciosus Dru. Not uncommon throughout New Jersey. Caldwell, com-

Staten Island (Ds), Sandy Hook (Bt). This is a very large species that
preys upon Cicadas, burying them in burrows made underground.

Family XXV SPHEGIDA.

This family is easily recognized by the long slender pedicel or stalk con-
necting the thorax with the main bulb of the abdomen. From this peculiarity
Prof. Comstock calls them thread-waisted wasps. Among these are the com-
mon mud-daubers that plaster their clay or earthen cells against out-houses
and under porches, sometimes inside of shutters or in similar sheltered places.
These mud cells are filled with caterpillars, spiders or young grasshoppers, all
of which have been paralyzed by the mother wasp, as food for the grub-like
larva. When full-grown this makes a parchment-like cocoon, which turns
brown in color and in which the pupa is formed. These wasps are distinctly
beneficial, and destroy great numbers of grasshoppers and caterpillars annually
as food for their young. Some of the species are true diggers and do not make
mud nests, but their feeding habits are similar,

Family XXVII VESPIDZ.

These are the true social wasps, or ‘‘ hornets,’’ which live in colonies contain-
ing males, females and workers, the latter being, as in the bees, undeveloped
females. All of them build paper cells or nests, some of them open and
exposed like the common globular gray ‘‘hornet’s nest’’ that is attached to
bushes, some of them in trunks of trees and others under overhanging banks,
under stones or in holes in the ground. The insects are pugnacious, as anyone
who has ever disturbed a hornet or ‘‘ yellow jacket’s’’ nest has discovered to
his cost. The food consists of other insects, of honey or of pollen ; the larvee
being fed with masticated fragments of insects by the mother or workers.
There is no storing of food here, and the larvze are dependent upon the period-
ical feeding by adults. Only the impregnated females hibernate, and each of
these starts a colony of its own in the spring. One of their notable structural
characters is that when at rest the wings are folded longitudinally.

They are predatory and store their cells with insects of various kinds. They
may be diggers, borers in pith or wood or may make mud nests which are often
of symmetrical forms.

Family XXXI CHRYSIDIDZ.

Sub-family If CHRYSIDIN.

These are the ‘‘cuckoo bees,’’ so called because they lay their eggs in the
cells of other bees or wasps, their larvze depriving the rightful owner of food if
they do not actually eat it first. These insects are of a brilliant metallic blue
or green, with a very firm chitinous outer surface, which is often deeply punc-
tured or otherwise sculptured. The abdomen has only a few visible segments,
the others being in the form of a retractile tube, at the end of which the small
sting is found.

Some species are said to be true parasites in saw-flies, and this would make
the family beneficial on the whole.

Our collections in this family are not good, and an unusually large proportion
of the species are listed because their general distribution is such that their
occurrence in New Jersey admits of little doubt.

Family XLII MUTILLID&A.

The females resemble ants in general shape, in being wingless and in being
found running about among the grass in sandy spots. They are densely
clothed with hair, however, and are contrastingly colored with black, yellow
and orange, the name ‘‘ velvet ants’’ being applied from their clothing. They
differ from the ants in lacking the nodes at the base of the abdomen, and from
our local species further in having a very long and very hot sting. The males
are winged and occur on flowers, the wings being usually black in color. They
are diggers, and while some of them are known to store food for their larvz,
others seem to be parasitic or guests in the nests and cells of bees or other
wasps.

Super-family 1V FORMICOIDEA.

These are the ants whose appearance is so commonly known that description
seems hardly necessary. The structural character that separates them is the
possession of one or two nodes or scales at the base of the abdomen, forming
intermediate segments. They are usually social and form colonies, large or
small, in which workers or undeveloped females predominate. These are wing-
less, but males and females are winged, the female losing these appendages
soon after she starts a colony. The larvee are helpless grubs which must be fed
by food properly prepared by the workers. They make their nests in all sorts
of places, some of them even inhabiting dwelling-houses, and they are almost
omnivorous in feeding habits. None of our species are directly injurious to
field crops, but many are indirectly harmful from their habit of protecting
plant-lice by storing their eggs and colonizing the imsects in spring upon a
proper food plant. They may be thus considered injurious on the whole, and
they do not in any case feed upon species that are injurious to the agriculturist.

Ants are the most intelligent among insects, and their habits are complicated,
forming a most interesting study.

Where they infest houses they should be attracted to sponges dipped in sugar-
water and laid near where they run: when a sponge becomes filled with the
insects it should be thrown into boiling water and replaced by another. This.
sort of warfare kept up for a few days so demoralizes the ants that owing to the
inexplicable disappearance of so many of their comrades they leave the house.
Fresh bones serve as well as sponges, and should be burnt as soon as they
become covered.

When ants infest lawns they can be cleaned out by pouring bisulphide of
carbon into the main entrance or entrances. The heavy fumes follow the gal-
leries and kill larvee as well as adults : one application usually serving to destroy
the hill. Where a hill is large, with many openings, three or four holes can be
punched into it with a stick and the bisulphide poured into them—an ounce or
twoineach. Then close the holes by stepping on them, or in any other way.

Our collections are extremely incomplete.

Super-family V PROCTOTRYPOIDEA.

With this series begin the parasitic species, a large proportion of which are
directly beneficial because of their habit of feeding in or on the tissues of
injurious species. Asa whole these parasitic forms are known by having the
trochanter or hip segment of the hind legs made up of two parts; but this is a
character so difficult of detection on the usually small species that it is, on the
whole, safer to class all very small specimens of this order as members of a
parasitic series. In this super-family we find the very smallest of the Hyme-
noptera, and all of them are parasitic sofarasI know. They infest not only
larvee but adults and even eggs of other insects, forming thus a most important
check to the increase of the host insects. In this series the ovipositor is
retractile into and comes from the tip of the abdomen,

Our collections are decidedly poor, and the list is in consequence very incom-
plete. No special collecting has ever been done in the State, and breeders of
insects of other orders have usually permitted the escape of the parasites bred
by them incidentally.

The insects of this series are the gall-wasps, or gall-flies, and they are largely
parasitic upon plants, though many of them, belonging mainly to the /7gitide,
are true parasites upon other insects. Some of them are also guests, or inquilines,
inhabiting galls formed originally by other species. Hence it is not unusual for
one to breed from a large, multicellular gall several species of minute Hymen-.
optera, the true gall-maker in small numbers, the guests and parasites sometimes.
in great quantity. The galls are abnormal plant growths produced by the
irritation of the minute larva upon the plant tissue, and each species produces-
its own peculiar gall so that classification is possible from these abnormal
growths as readily as from the insects themselves. The grubs do not feed upon
the actual gall tissue, but lie in cells in the gall, apparently subsisting upon
material secreted from the inner walls. A gall may have only one larval cell
and is then unicellular, or it may have a great many and is then multicellular.

The ovipositor in this series is partly coiled within the abdomen which is.

often very curious and parthenogenesis is of frequent occurrence. In some species
there is good reason to believe that males have been entirely eliminated. None

Super-family VII CHALCIDOIDEA.

The largest number of our parasites belong to this series, and they are usually
rather stout species with broad heads, elbowed antennze and more or less.
metallic colors. The color character is not universal by any means, yet many
of our most common species are recognizable by it, while green, blue or
metallic species may be, in most cases, safely referred here. A very good
example is the minute species that can be had in great quantities from the
chrysalis of the common cabbage butterfly. The wings have few or no veins,
are often clothed with short hairs, aud occasionally wanting altogether in one
sex ot both. The ovipositor is more or less concealed, and usually issues from
the under side of the abdomen before the tip.

A proportionally small number of the species are plant-feeders, and some of
these, like the ‘‘ joint-worms,’’ are occasionally injurious. Others are hyper-

Sub-order II PHYTOPHAGA.

Super-family IX SIRICOIDEA. ;

The species belonging to this sub-order are always recognizable by having
the abdomen joined at its hase to the thorax for its full width. The larvz are
all plant feeders in one way or another, and the ovipositor is modified into a
saw or borer-like structure. They are all more or less injurious when they
feed on cultivated plants.

Family LXXxX ORYSSIDA.

Large species in which the antennz are situated just above the mandibles
under a sharp edge, thorax and abdomen almost completely united so as to be
immobile.

T. columba Linn. The larva bores in the trunks of a variety of shade and
orchard trees throughout the State; sometimes causing considerable
injury. It is popularly known as the ‘‘ pigeon 77vemex,’’ and no prac-
tical method of dealing with itis known. As it usually attacks weak or
dying trees, however, we can lessen the danger of attack by keeping the

equal width, the wings folded over the abdomen when at rest, the secondaries
with a broad anal lobe, making them wider than the primaries. The flies are
usually sluggish, and many of them may be picked from the plants on which
they rest with the fingers, making no attempt to escape.

The larve vary greatly in feeding habits, some forming galls, others live in
stems, a few in fruits. and some mine leaves, while the majority live openly
upon the plants on which they feed. In general they resemble caterpillars in
form, but have at least five pairs of abdominal pro-legs. Many have the habit
of curling the hinder portion of the body while feeding, and this is character-
istic. The general term ‘‘slugs’’ is applied to these larvee, and some of them
become seriously injurious. They are usually kept in check without much
trouble by using arsenical poisons or white hellebore, dry or in decoction, to
which they are peculiarly susceptible. Against some of the slimy forms dry
hydrate of lime or even very fine road-dust is satisfactorily available.

In this series the list owes much to Dr. Dyar, who has bred many of the
species found near New York city and has very kindly permitted me to use his
notes. He has also looked over the manuscripts and verified the food plants
cited on his authority.

Orver SIPHONAPTERA.

Contains the fleas which are associated with the Dzp/era or flies, because of
the similarity in the early stages, though the adults, because of their parasitic
mode of life, have lost all trace of wings. Fleas are usually brown in color,
transversely flattened, the edges of the segments set with stiff spines directed
backward, and the hind legs enormously developed for leaping.

They drop their eggs in the sleeping quarters, den or nest of their host, and
from them hatch slender, white, worm-like larve. These feed on refuse
animal or vegetable debris found in such places, and the pupa hides in crevices
or in houses in the cracks between the boards of floors.

Fig. 289.—Rabbit-flea : much enlarged,

Sometimes a house will become over-run with fleas, and in such cases the
sleeping quarters of the dog or cat must be thoroughly cleared out so as to
destroy all breeding places. The dog or cat must be washed with carbolic soap
to rid it of fleas, and may then be used asatrap. All the fleas will find their
way to him or her sooner or later, and by washing every other day for two or
three weeks they will be all destroyed. If breeding in the floor cracks is sus-
pected, use gasoline to destroy larvae and even eggs.

If the cat objects to being washed, use pyrethrum well rubbed into the fur at
short intervals until no more fleas are found. If she still objects, radical
measures are indicated.

Orver DIPTERA.

This order contains the flies, always recognizable by having two wings only,
the secondaries being reduced to little knobs or halteres. The head is separated
from the thorax by a distinct narrow neck, and the antennz are either quite
long or very short and aristate. The mouth is formed for scraping or sucking
or both, never for biting, in the adult stage. The larvze vary greatly in form,
but are usually either very slender and elongate or maggot-like in form. The
metamorphosis is complete, and the change between larva and adult is more
radical than in any other insect.

The flies contain many injurious or annoying forms, and a few that are bene-
ficial because as scavengers they remove or hasten the decay of large animals.

Our collections are small and most of those listed here have been collected or
named by Mr. C. W. Johnson, of the Wagner Free Institute, Philadelphia, Pa.
Mr. Johnson has also prepared the following list in this order in its entirety,
and should be considered authority for all notes not otherwise bracketed. The
descriptive remarks under family headings and the economic suggestions are
my own.

Mr. Johnson writes in explanation and acknowledgment as follows :

“It has given me great pleasure to assist Prof Smith in preparing this list of
Diptera. The work on my own part consists of a record of all the species col-
lected in various portions of the State since I took up the study of this order in
the Spring of 1891. All data, therefore, unless immediately followed by the
name of the collector, are my own. I regret the unsatisfactory condition of the
Cecidomyide, Sarcophagide and Anthomyide ; but it seems impossible, at the
present time, to do better. Careful collecting in all portions of the State at
various seasons will probably show that the present list, which numbers about
1,200 species, will represent only about two-thirds of the actual number found
within the State.

“I here wish to express my sincere thanks to Mr. D. W. Coquillett for his
ever kind assistance in determining the species in the more difficult families ;
also to Prof. J. M. Aldrich and Prof. W. M. Wheeler for determining the Do/i-
chopodide, and to Dr. G. de N. Hough for classifying the Wuscide. Dr. E.G.
Love and Mr. M. S. Crane kindly sent their entire collection to me for study,
while Messrs. S. T. Kemp, C. T. Greene, H. S. Viereck, H. W. Wenzel, Chas.
Liebeck, Philip Laurent, Philip Nell, H. Hornig, Dr. H. Skinner and others.
have contributed many additional species.

Family CHCIDOMYIDZ:.

Small, slender, mosquito like flies, with broad wings, long, cylindrical or
bead-like antennze, and small, poorly developed mouth parts. As a whole they
are rather fragile in appearance, the males often with whorls of long hair on
the antennal joints. They are popularly known as “‘ gall gnats,’’ or ‘‘ midges,”’
and contain some of our most troublesome species. The larve are small
oval grubs, bluntly pointed at both ends, often with a chitinous process on the
under side called a breast bone. Their habits in the larval stage are very
diverse, but almost always they feed on growing vegetation, and are actually or
potentially injurious. Many form more or less obvious galls, and often they
live in colonies. Their methods of attack vary, and the treatment to be
adopted must be suited to each individual case. Insecticides are often unavail-
able, and a modification of the ordinary farm practice is necessary to reach the
pests.

CECIDOMYTIA Meigen.

‘C. destructor Say. ‘‘The Hessian fly’’ sometimes does great damage to
wheat, chiefly north of the red shale line. Remedial measures are, chiefly,
planting a scant early trap-crop in late August or early September ; turn-

thereafter.

Family MYCETOPHILIDA.

These are fungus-gnats, also resembling mosquitoes or midges, but the
jantennze are not verticillate or furnished with whorls of hair. In the male the
abdomen ends in a forceps-like process, and in the female in a pointed ovi-
Sositor. There are other structural differences to characterize the family, but
these are not easily seen except by the student. The larve are feeders in
‘ungus and in decaying vegetation generally, and might be considered at worst
aarmless were it not that they attack cultivated mushrooms. The larvz are

them have the curious habit of forming great rope-like masses when ready to

enter the pupal stage, travelling considerable distances sometimes to find a
suitable place.

Where they occur in mushroom beds, fumigating frequently with tobacco or
pyrethrum to kill the adults inside, and keeping all windows closely screened
to prevent the entrance of specimens from outside, is the only practical measure
known to me.

Family CULICIDZ.

This family contains the mosquitoes, which need no special introduction to
the Jerseyman, though there are some parts of our State practically free from
them. They occur in countless millions, however, in the brackish and salt
marshes along shore and in the swamps of the pine district. The larvz live in
Stagnant water, and a very small quantity of it suffices. They are called
wrigglers because of the way in which they jerk themselves round, and any
number of them may be found, where mosquitoes occur, in any rain barrel.

In the larval stage the insect is at least harmless, and is probably beneficial
because it is a scavenger and often removes foul material from water that is
used for household purposes.

The mosquito problem in New Jersey is ready for solution whenever funds
sufficient to carry out the necessary work may be made available.

Meanwhile a film of kerosene on ponds, in pools or swampy localities in
which mosquitoes are known to breed will capture many of the adults that are
Ovipositing, and will also take care of the larva as it comes to the surface to
breathe. Of course the insects are not agriculturally important.

Oil of Citronella will serve as an excellent repellant used on hands, face or
other exposed parts, and it is quite lasting.

It is probable that most of these occur throughout the State; but the ordi-

fore our collections are not so good as they might be.

Family CHIRONOMIDA.

These flies are indifferently named ‘‘gnats,’’ ‘‘midges,’’ ‘‘sand-flies”’ or
‘*punkies,’’ the latter two names chiefly applied to the few minute forms
with piercing mouth parts. They resemble mosquitoes in appearance, but
have naked wings, and the thorax is produced so as to hide the small head
from above. The antennz in the male are lengthily plumose and in the female
are also furnished with lateral hair. The insects occur at all seasons, many of
them in spring, and they have the habit of dancing in the early evening in
great swarms only a few feet above ground, usually in a damp locality. The
larvee live in water on living or dead vegetation, or on sap of trees, under
fallen leaves or decaying vegetable matter.

As a rule they are harmless, except for the annoyance caused by the biting
tribes, but the larva of one species at least mines the leaves of water plants.
and thus becomes injurious in a very limited and special way.

Family TIPULIDZ.

Fig. 295.—A crane fly, Pachyrrhina Sp.

These are the ‘‘Crane-flies,’’ which resemble exaggerated mosquitoes {in
appearance, and derive their common name from their immensely long,
ungainly, slender legs. The head is often prolonged into a sort of blunt
snout, at the end of which are the prominent palpi, which are sometimes as
long as the antennz.

The species are most common in low meadows or at the edges of woodland,
and their flight is as uncertain and awkward as their appearance. One of the
prettiest species is Bittacomorpha clavipes, which is not uncommon along
ditches:in cranberry bogs. It is contrastingly marked with black and white,
and the legs are enlarged at the tips of the separate joints. It is difficult to
preserve these insects because the legs break off at the least provocation, even
when they are alive. Thus far we have been unable to find any satisfactory use
for these unreasonably long members, which in the males are sometimes longer
than in the females.

The larvze of most of these flies are slender, cylindrical, worm-like, and very
tough, whence they are known as ‘‘ wire worms’’ in England, where they are
often injurious in sod land and on root crops. This type lives in the soil, and
may feed on either living or dead vegetation. A few feed on leaves and some-
what resemble caterpillars, but in no case are they injurious in New Jersey, so
far as I have had any knowledge of them.

Loose-jointed, ungainly flies of
moderate size, with long, stout legs,
body often clothed with long hair,
antenn many jointed, but short and
stout, mouth parts a little produced.
There is often considerable differ-
ence between the sexes, and in some
cases the females have a ridiculously
small head. From the very early
appearance of some species they are
called ‘‘ March flies,’’ and sometimes
they occur in orchards in numbers
so great as to attract attention.

The larve are cylindrical, footless
grubs, and ‘‘ feed on excremental or
vegetable substances, especially on
the roots of grass.’’ They have not
been, thus far, injurious in New
Jersey.

Family SIMULIDZ.

Rather undersized chunky flies, known as ‘‘ black flies,’? dark in color, the
thorax well developed and somewhat produced forward so as to partially con-
ceal the small head from above. Though the head is small in proportion to the
insect, the mouth parts are exceedingly well developed and furnished with a
formidable array of lancets for puncturing and bloodsucking. The wings are
short and broad, the venation obscure except along the front margin.

These flies are horrible pests locally, not so much in our State as in some
others west and north, the ‘‘ buffalo gnat’’ of the Mississippi Valley region
and ‘‘ black fly’’ of the north woods being excellent examples.

In New Jersey some species are pests in the Orange Mountains and north-
ward, getting into the ears of horses, or even occasionally of man.

The larvee are aquatic and live in running water.

Family STRATIOMYIDZ:.

Known as ‘soldier flies’’ from their yellow bands and stripes. Usually they
are somewhat depressed or even much flattened, especially the abdomen, over
which the wings are laid flat and overlapping each other. The mouth parts are
developed for lapping only, and the adults are always found among flowers.
The antennz vary in shape, and may be short or of quite moderate length ; but
always the third joint is compound and often has an arista.

The larvee vary greatly in habit, from predatory to feeders upon excrement,
living or dead vegetable matter, on land or in water: Some of them have been
even found in salt or alkaline water.

None are of economic importance.

Family TABANIDZ.

These are moderate or large species popularly known as horse flies. They
have short, broad heads, enormous eyes, and short, though many-jointed
feelers. The abdomen is oval, a little flatened, and the body is convex and
powerful. The mouth parts consist of a series of fine sharp-pointed lancets, so
Tigid that they readily pierce the skin, lying in a soft, fleshy labella. They
frequent woods or the edges of woodland, sometimes low meadows or marshy
places, and occasionally prove serious pests to stock. They are often trouble-
some in wood roads because, with three or four black flies buzzing about, horses
may be driven almost frantic. Similar species occur along the shore, where

640 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

they are known as ‘‘green heads.’’ In some localities they are are called
‘‘deer flies,’ and some have the name ‘‘ golden-eyed”’ flies, because their eyes
are banded or striped with metallic
yellow or brown. The female only
has the blood sucking habit, and
the male lives on pollen and the
like.

The larvze are elongated, some-
what flattened creatures, living in
water or in the soil of marshy
land, preying upon whatever comes
in their way.

Animals should be protected by
netting when driven over infested
roads, or should have an applica-
tion of fish oil and carbolic acid at a4

Family ASILIDZ.

Head prominent, very hairy, with short, several jointed antennz, and a
short, stout proboscis formed for piercing. The body is robust, also hairy, the
abdomen long, slender, cylindrical, tapering very gradually to the tip. The
wings are long and narrow, the legs moderately long and very powerful,
densely clothed with spines, while the tips of the tarsi are supplied with
unusually long, stout claws. The insects are called ‘‘ robber-flies*’ from their
habit of pouncing upon, piercing and sucking the juices of other insects im
mid-air while holding them in the grasp of their powerful legs. Some of the
species are brightly colored, but most of them are of a sober gray with blackish

mottlings. These robber-flies, though predatory, can scarcely be considered of
much real value to the farmer because they take anything that comes along,
useful or otherwise, and are just as ready to destroy bees as some harmful
species.

The larve are also carnivorous so far as known, ana live in the ground or in

decaying wood.

Family BOMBYLIIDA.

These are the ‘‘bee-flies’’? which derive their common name from the fact
that they are more or less covered with dense, diverging whitish or yellow
hair, giving them a close resemblance to certain bees. Many occur, hovering
over bare places in early spring, others are found on flowers, often poised in
midair between or over them. One series resembles the bumble-bees and has a
long pointed proboscis; the other is more slender, the abdomen tending to
become flattened with a short proboscis and much less contrasting colors.

CATALOGUE OF INSECTS. 647

The larvee are parasitic or partly predatory. Some are true parasites in lepi-

dopterous larvze ; others feed on the egg-pods of grass-hoppers, while yet others
feed in nests of bees. destroying first the bee egg or larva and then feeding
upon the food stored for it.

They are never harmful to growing vegetation, hence may be classed as, on

the whole, beneficial.

Family THEREVIDA.

Called ‘‘ stiletto flies’? by Comstock, because of their slender, pointed abdo-
men. They resemble the robber flies, but have longer legs and are more
slightly built. They are also predatory, but the lips are broad and fleshy and
they are not nearly so active as the asilidee.

The larvee are long and slender, the segments constricted so that they seem
doubled in number, and they live in mold, fungi, rotten wood and vegetable
decay generally, feeding sometimes upon the material among which they are
found, sometimes upon such other insects as come in their way.

They can scarcely be said to be beneficial, for the prey of the adults does not
consist of insects that are harmful to the farmer, so far as I am aware.

Family DOLICHOPODID:.

Small, usually shining green, sometimes black or yellow flies, with short
antennze, plump body and comparatively long legs, which are often contrasting
yellow or brown. The tarsi or feet are unusually long, whence they are called
‘‘long-footed flies,’? and in the male the anterior pair are often curiously
flattened or otherwise modified. In the same sex the abdomen is often fur-
nished with curiously complex claspers, which are bent down beneath the
body. In the female there is usually a pointed, flat ovipositor. They are pred-
atory in habit, feeding chiefly upon smaller flies. The larve are long, slender
cylindrical and feed on decaying vegetation.

Family SYRPHIDZ.

These are ‘ flower-flies,’? usually brightly colored and banded with yellow
on a black, bronze or blue ground, They have very short, aristate or stylate
three-jointed feelers, barrel-shaped bodies, and somewhat flattened abdomen,
varying from slender to broadly oval. Sometimes they are almost bare and
reseinble wasps in appearance and habits; at others they are hairy and resem-
ble bees even in the droning or buzzing noise that they make. The mouth
parts are formed for scraping and lapping only, and they feed upon honey or
pollen,

In larval habits they vary greatly. Some are predatory and feed upon plant
lice ; these are usually wrinkled, pointed anteriorly, and they live among their
prey upon leaves of plants. Others feed in plant tis-
sue, being more or less maggot or grub-like; and yet
others are scavengers, the larvae feeding in the foulest
excrementitious matter: these are usually furnished
with a long breathing tube from the anal end, and are
known as rat-tailed larvae. Some few species seem to
feed upon pollen, and at least one form occurs between
the leaf and stalk of corn, feeding upon the juices. Yet, on the whole, the:
species are beneficial

Plains (Jn), Palisades, VII, 26 (Love) : this is the ‘‘drone”’ or ‘‘chrys-
anthemumi fly ’’ which occurs throughout the State. It is said to pollen-
ize chrysanthemums, and to be the only insect engaged in this laudable
occupation. It also resembles a honey bee so closely that most persons
decline to handle it. Therefore it is called ‘‘drone-fly.’’ Its larva lives
in the foulest excrement, and is a typical rat-tailed maggot.

Family GSTRIDZA.

These are the ‘‘bot-flies,’’ usually of good size, sometimes very large, and
peculiar by having the mouth parts almost entirely aborted. Some are hairy,
yellow, with rather a pointed abdomen—others are very plump, blue black,
with a white bloom and very formidable in appearance. The larve live in the
nasal passages, in the stomach or beneath the skin of the animals infested by
them and often cause serious functional disturbance in the animals affected.
They also lessen the value of the skins. The ordinary bots attacking horses
and cattle lay their eggs on the hair of the animals, where they are likely to
be licked off and so brought into the mucus-lined passages: hence it is a good
plan, where bots are numerous, to keep horses cleaned and brushed and to
prevent their licking themselves Bots beneath the skin should be treated with
mercurial ointment, and after a day or two squeezed out through a sufficient
incision. Where they infest the stomach, or get into the nasal passages, a
veterinarian must be consulted.

Family TACHINIDA.

The Tachina flies are almost all parasitic and of the very highest usefulness,
since they form the chief control of many injurious caterpillars. They resemble
house-flies, flesh-flies, and blue-bottles in appearance, but are much more
bristly, sometimes formidable looking from the
array of sharp points projecting in every direc-
tion. The bristle on the third antennal joint is
always bare, and this is the best character for
the recognition of the family.

These flies lay their eggs on the outside of the
caterpillar, usually just back of the head, where
the larva cannot easily get at them. They are
white in color and quite large enough to be
easily seen.

Family ANTHOMYIDZ.

The flies of this family so closely resemble those of the preceding that, to
the ordinary observer, they seem to be alike. Some of the species come into
houses at times and are not usu-
ally noticed as being different
from the common species

In the larval stages the habits
differ. Many, perhaps the most,
are scavengers, as are the mus-
cids ; a few are parasitic, as are
the Tachinids ; quite a number
feed in living vegetation, either
in roots, as the onion and cab-
bage maggot, or mining leaves,
as in beets.

The root maggots are difficult
to deal with and not all methods
are equally useful in all local-
ities. Tobacco, hellebore, kai-
nit, lime with carbolic acid or
turpentine have all been used
as repellants or destroyers with
more or less success.

Bisulphide of carbon injected into the soil has proved useful in some cases,
and so has a tarred card surrounding e plant and resting on the surface. The
farmer must usually learn by experience the particular method most useful in

Family TRYPETIDZ.

The ‘‘ peacock flies,’’ so-called because of their habit of elevating the wings
and strutting about, peacock like. These wings are often prettily marked and
spotted with black or brown. In the female the abdomen is often prolonged
into a horny ovipositor. The flies are gracefully built, fly slowly and are
noticeable by keeping their wings in constant motion. Most of the members
of the series feed in plant tissue of some kind, either in leaves, in stems or in
fruits, and a number of them are gall-makers. The only species of economic
importance in this State is the ‘‘apple maggot,’’ which injures some of the
early summer varieties. The only remedial measure is the prompt removal of
all fruit from trees known to be infested.

Family SHPSIDZ.

‘The flies belonging to this family are usually small, black and elongated with
the abdomen narrowed at the base, thickened and curved downward toward the
extremity ; with transparent, iridescent wing, usually hyaline, but often witha ©
spot or spots toward the end, and are usually observed about decaying vege-
tables, excrement, cheese, ham, &c., often in swarms. The flies, for the greater
part, run about actively, and are quick in flight. The best known are the
species of Prophila, the larvee of which are known as ‘cheese-mites.’ These
larvee live in cheese, in-ham or bacon, or, in general, in any fatty material,
and often do much damage, being especially troublesome in pork-packing
establishments. From the peculiar power of leaping possessed by the maggots |
they are often called ‘skippers’ ; the act is performed by the larva seizing with —
its extended mouth hooklets the edge of the posterior truncature of the body
and then suddenly releasing it while pulling hard.’’— W7/liston.

Family BPHYDRIDZ.

‘“‘The flies of this family are never large, often small or even minute. The
greater number of the species are inhabitants of wet places, about marshy
ground, meadows, etc. They are always thinly pilose or bare species, and
never with bright colors. The exceedingly large head and mouth of some
species are very characteristic, but in others this character is not so apparent,
and there is sometimes difficulty in separating the genera from those of the
Drosophilide. The larvee of many formis are very peculiar, resembling the rat-
tailed larvee of the Syrphide in many cases ’’-— Wailiston.

In New Jersey the species are not notably abundant ; but they occur in count-
less millions in the great salt lake in Utah, and in other alkaline lakes and
ponds of the northwestern desert region.

Family DROSOPHILIDZ.

The species in this family are small, plump, without pile, the bristles of the
head and legs conspicuous. Abdomen usually short and broad, genitalia not
prominent, colors tending to yellow. They are often abundant about decom-
posing or fermenting fruit, about cider-mills, wine-presses, &c., whence they
are called ‘‘pommace flies.”’ The larve live in this pommace and on the sur-
face of the scum of the fermenting fruit juice.

702 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

It was predicted in the list of 1890 that ‘‘future studies will undoubtedly add
at least 20 per cent. more,’’ and this forecast has been more than fulfilled.

I also suggested that while it was then expedient to retain the old Linnean
division into eight orders, I would expect to accept the modern sub-divisions in
a future edition. This I have done here, recognizing twenty-two orders, of
which the Parasitica, Homoptera and Heteroptera are probably sub-orders of
one type only, i. e., broadly, the Rhyngota.

Of the 7hysanura no list is given for lack of available material; but in all
the other orders, the percentage of increase is fully up to the figure already
mentioned.

With the increased knowledge gained from collections made in the ten years.
last past, I feel safe in predicting an equally great percentage of increase in the
next decade, though it will not be so equally distributed. Any list in the 7hy-
sanura will be clear gain. In the Hphemerida, the Plecoptera, the Corrodentia,
the Platyptera, the Neuroptera and the 7richoptera the list should be doubled.
In the Odonata the additions will probably be very few, and this may be said of
the Orthoptera as well. In the Hemipterous series there should be a large
increase in both Homoptera and Heteroptera, since neither order has been at
all thoroughly collected. This is particularly true of the smaller Homoptera,
including the hosts of plant lice and leaf-hoppers. The Coleoptera will show a
large percentage of increase in the families containing the smaller species.

The first edition enumerated 9 species of Scydmenide and 13 species of
Pselaphide. In the present edition there are 29 species of Scydmcenide and 67
of Pselaphide! This increase is entirely due to the fact that Mr. Wenzel has.
especially sought these little creatures, and when others devote their attention
in like manner to certain other groups similar results may be expected.

In Lepidoptera few additions are to be expected among the butterflies or
larger moths; but in the micros there will be a very great increase as our col-
lectors appreciate the infinite variety and beauty of these little creatures.

In the Hymenoptera great additions are to be expected in the smaller para-
sitic types which have not been really collected at all. Indeed, except for the-
Aculeates taken in South Jersey by Mr. Fox, we have had no systematic collect-
ing whatever, and our records are based on incidental or accidental captures.

So the Diptera may be expected to furnish a considerable percentage of
increase, estimated by Mr. Johnson at 33 per cent. They have scarcely been,
taken even as accidentals by the majority of the collectors, and only Mr. John-
son has done systematic collecting in a few localities, Whole families are
practically unrepresented, and in an order in which the species have a wide
distribution New Jersey should have a majority of all those found in the
Eastern United States.

The predictions made by me ten years ago have been justified : it is unlikely-
that I will be the one to point to the verification of those made in 1900.

INDEX TO LOCALITIES.

The general surface formation of the State is shown by the Relief Map of the
Geological Survey, a reduced copy of which forms Fig. 1 of this list. A map
showing the county lines and the chief towns as well as cities, forms Fig. 329,
and on this the black dots show the location of colonies of the pernicious scale
in 1898. By comparing the two maps the character of the territory for each
general locality may be ascertained. Many of the collecting grounds are not
of sufficient importance to find a place on a map so much redueed, hence it is
desirable to indicate not only the county but also the nearest printed town.
Where I have been able to do so, I have given a few words of general descrip-
tion.

Some of the most forbidding territory is often the richest from the stand-
point of the Entomologist, and for almost all orders some locality especially
suited may be found.

In response to my requests for the general character of their collecting
grounds, each correspondent has dwelt upon his own especial point of view.
The account sent me by Mr. C. W. Johnson is so well put and so characteristic
of the localities described that I quote it in full :

‘‘The most favorable collecting ground for Dip/era is in the vicinity of water
or moist ground. If in a wooded, mountainous section, along the edges of
streams, woods or small openings in the woods, especially if caused by exces-
sive moisture, as a spring, are ideal collecting grounds; such conditions are
found in Warren county, along Dunnfield creek, a small stream flowing into
the Delaware at the Water Gap. Similar conditions and collecting are to be
found in the hills around Dover and Newark: at the latter locality my collect-
ing in 1892 was chiefly confined to the vicinity of Belleville, along Second
River.’’

‘‘In the southern part of the State, three divisions might be recognized : the
Delaware Valley, Pine barrens, and the Maritime. The first has an average
width of about 15 miles, and is characterized by an admixture of species com-
mon to Pennsylvania and the northern part of the State, and which almost
disappear in the pine barrens. Riverton and Westville are good localities,
diversified by swamp, low and high ground, with patches of hard wood inter-
spersed with groves of pine.”’

‘‘In the pine barrens the Bombylide are to be found in great abundance,
several species being peculiar to that section. Clementon, Atco, Da Costa and
Buena Vista are excellent collecting grounds with scrub-oak ridges, low pine
land and sphagnum swamps. The sand-myrtle in May attracts numerous Dip-
tera. This division covers the greater part of Southern New Jersey.”’

‘‘The maritime consists of the salt water marshes and coast, characterized by
the great abundance of Culex, Tiniorhynchus, Tabanus nigrovittatus and
Chrysops plangens ; while among the sand dunes the sand-colored Stichopogon

(703)

704 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

argenteus and Laphystia sexfasciata hold forth. Avalon, Anglesea and Cape
May are excellent places for collecting.”’

‘“ The three divisions referred to are best shown on a geological map: the
first includes the alluvial soil of the river and the cretaceous marls; the second
the tertiary sands and gravel, and the third the alluvial soil of the ocean and
bay.”’

Mr. Wenzel writes, concerning his grounds: ‘‘The vicinity of Gloucester,
Westville and Woodbury are practically the same. Several small creeks empty
into the Delaware near these places, and at Westville, along the river front, is
a fine sandy beach. The woods are deciduous, with an occasional patch of
conifers, and very little old timber is found.”’

‘Clementon, about 12 miles from Camden on the Atlantic City R. R., has a
number of fine lakes with the usual aquatic plants. During the summer a
great variety of flowers is found. The woods are deciduous and coniferous,
with the old timber fast disappearing.”’

“Atco, about five miles further down the road, has almost the same growth,
with a few cranberry bogs and a cedar swamp. ‘The insect fauna seems to
change here, as a number of species have been taken which are not recorded
further west on the road.”’ ;

‘* DaCosta, a flag station on the same road, about 30 miles from Camden and
about half way to the ocean, is in the pine barrens, and here the scrub oak and
scattering pines predominate. A number of southern and other interesting
species have been found here, including the only known examples of Dorcus
brevis. During the summer the heat is intense, no water is found near by and
in a droughty season forest fires are numerous. In spring the season starts
about two weeks later than at Camden.”’

The belt of laminated sand and clay marls to which Mr. Johnson has referred
crosses the State diagonally from Trenton, on the Delaware, to the mouth of
the Raritan river, a triangular extension east of that river reaching a few miles
further north. The northern portion of this strip contains the potter and fire
clays and sands. To the south and east it merges into the shore district.

Northwest of this is a broad belt of Triassic red sandstone, commonly known
as the red shale, averaging about 20 miles in width, broadest on the Delaware,
and this becomes hilly and irregular northwardly. It is broken by a line of
trap forming the palisades and by the irregular though generally parallel ridges
of the Orange or Watchung Mts., which are also of the Triassic trap. Sour-
land Mountain and some smaller ridges extend northeast from the Delaware,
and all these ridges are shown on the relief map.

North of this comes a belt of Archzean, broken by ridges of limestone from
the Silurian and Devonian series, and small points and narrow ridges of the
Archean series. Small areas of Hudson river slate and Silurian sandstone also
occur, and a belt of Hudson river slate crosses the northwestern corner of the
State parallel with the Delaware river to the New York line. This is bounded
along its southeasterly margin by limestone, and is also interrupted by a broad
limestone belt extending from the Delaware river two-thirds of the distance
across the State. Then come in succession, parallel to the Delaware and
within five miles of it, narrow belts of Oneida conglomerate, Medina sand-
stone, Oriskany sandstone and limestones. These formations all cross the State
diagonally from the southwest to the northeast, and extend from the Delaware

CATALOGUE OF INSECTS. 705

river to the ocean, from the Delaware to the Hudson or from the Delaware to
the New York State line and beyond. From the Water Gap the course of the
Delaware river is northeast to Port Jervis, and the formations then run parallel
to it.

The mountains are all in long ridges, the Kittatinny, which extends from the
Water Gap, parallel to the river, into New York State, being scarcely broken
in the 35 miles of its course in New Jersey.

In this mountaizx, near the northern corner of the State, is the highest point
—1,808 feet.

All these matters come out much more clearly on the geological map of the
State, but the few words of general explanation will serve to make more clear
the relief map by referring the various regions and ridges to their proper
formations.

The following localities are given in alphabetical order for convenience of
reference, and it is believed that very few of those cited in the work are
omitted :

Albion, Camden County, three and one-half miles west of Atco. Scrub and
pine land, with pine and cedar swamps to the south.

Allaire, Monmouth County. In the pines just west of the marshy shore mea-
dows, north of Lakewood, southeast of Freehold.

Alloway, Salem County. A good, well-cultivated country, with scrub pine
and other woodland surroundings.

Almonessen, Camden County, a few miles southeast of Woodbury, on Almon-
essen Creek. Low, somewhat marshy and scrubby land, with a consider-
able pond near by.

Alpine, Bergen County, on the Hudson, about four miles south of the State
line. Rocky, palisade, wooded country.

Ancora, Camden County, about three miles north of Winslow. In the pines,
scrub and swamp, with cranberry bogs on the Pump branch, near by.

Andover, Sussex County, about five miles south of Newton. A hilly, wooded
country, with extremes of a little over 700 feet ; small ponds near by, in
all directions, filled by little brooks.

Anglesea, Cape May County. A fishing village on Five-Mile Beach, fronting
the ocean just north of Cape May. From the beach the land rises and
forms dunes half a mile back, where a heavy undergrowth with briars
chokes a somewhat irregular wood of conifers and deciduous trees.
This wood becomes larger, more cpen at Widwood and Holly Beach,
some of the Hollys being large and very fine. In this wood are swamps
densely filled with vegetation, and toward the mainland it merges rather
abruptly into a salt marsh subject to flooding at high tides. The flora‘is
very rich and so is the insect fauna which has been very thoroughly
explored, almost all the New Jersey collectors having visited the place at
some time. The Philadelphians make frequent journeys to this point,
Messrs. Wenzel and Laurent having spent many days here. I have
visited there myself, each year, one or more times, and have an especially
fine lot of Orthoptera from this place.

Arlington or Arlington Meadows, Essex County. A short distance east of
Newark, at the edge of the Hackensack meadows, where most of the col-
lecting was actually done.

Asbury Park, Monmouth County. Means generally the ocean front and
washed up material; but there is good collecting ground in the conifer-
ous woodland behind the town, toward the mainland.

Atco, Camden County. Scrub land; mostly conifers, light sandy soil, cedar
and cranberry swamps.

Atlantic City, Atlantic County. On an island made up of sand dunes, with
reedy grasses rising from the ocean front to a central back-bone and
dropping off at the west toa broad marsh which becomes flooded at un-
usually high water. Much of the collecting was done along the shore in
times past of material washed up by the sea, and little has been done of
late years.

Atlantic County. Means usually the pine barrens.

swamps, on Atsion Creek.

Avalon, Cape May County. On the ocean front, south of Sea Isle City, and
much like it in character.

Barnegat, Ocean County, Strictly maritime, on the sandy point between the
Ocean and Barnegat Bay.

Bayside, Cape May County. On the Delaware Bay side of the Cape May
peninsula, southwest of Cape May Court House. Pine and oak scrub

and other localities on Long Island by Dr. Dyar, where the food plant
occurs in similar situations in New Jersey. |

Belmar, Monmouth County. On the coast, with the usual margh and scrub |
back of the ocean sand dunes,

Bergen, Hudson County. Probably refers to Bergen Point on the Kill von
Kull, just opposite Staten Island, and on Newark Bay, opposite Eliza-
bethport.

many places and so often that the conclusion is fair that it occurs
wherever the food conditions are favorable. Cited by a Philadelphia
man it means the lines between Camden and Atlantic City or those

to ‘‘ Newark district’? To a New York collector it means the range
between Greenville and Fort Lee. Cited by me it means the State at
large.

graphical district.

Newark district. When this term is used it means that the species occurs
in all the various kinds of localities about Newark.

New Jersey specimens are in the society collection, usually with a State

label only. The society now possesses, among others, the collections of

the late Dr. George H. Horn and of the late Messrs. Wilt & Martindale.

| The collection of Mr. E. T. Cresson is also stored in its rooms, and there

is considerable material from older sources, including quite a number of

types. I have looked carefully over the collections in Hymenoptera, and
| Dr. Calvert cites those in the Odonata in several instances.

| Ang. Angelman, John B., Newark. Collects macro-lepidoptera, and has

furnished some of the records credited to the Newark society. Mr.
. Angelman’s collections have been largely made within a few miles of
lj Newark, ranging from the salt meadows to the Orange Mountains: a
| large portion of his material inthe moths has been determined by
myself, while much of the balance has been compared with authorita-

7 Furthermore, Mr. Ashmead has determined many of the Hemiptera-
FE Heteroptera, not only for me but for others that have collected in New
Jersey. The list, therefore, owes him much in two orders.

t Banks, Nathan, Falls Church, Virginia; Assistant in the Division of Ento-
:

mology, U. S. Department of Agriculture. Is a specialist in the neurop-
terous orders and has named or determined not only all my material,
but that of other collectors who seut him their New Jersey specimens. I
i have used Mr. Banks’ Catalogue of Neuroptera as a guide in this list;
but have given the divisions ordinal rather than family rank,

Beyer, G., New York City. Coleopterist, and has sent me records chiefly
| from the northern section of the State.

Bf. Bischoff, E. A., Newark. Mr. Bischoff is an enthusiastic collector of
Coleoptera, ead his records are numerous and usually accurate, His col-
lecting grounds are chiefly the environs of Newark; but this embraces
territory like the marshy districts lying east and south, and the hilly
country lying west and north along the first ridge of the Orange Moun-

tains. The locality ‘‘Orange Mts.,’’ which occurs so frequently in Mr.
Bischoff’s records, usually means the ridge west of South Orange, the
vicinity of Hemlock falls and in the direction of Eagle Rock. Most of
Mr. Bischoff ’s collection has been seen by me; many of the species have
been determined by me and others have been named by Messrs. Wenzel
and Liebeck.

Bird, H., Rye, New York. Collects Lepidoptera and makes a special study of
boring larvee. His notes are chiefly in Hydrecia.

Boerner, Chas., Philadelphia. Is a coleopterist, and has taken many good
species in New Jersey. South Jersey is his stamping ground and his
material has been, in the main, named by Mr. Wenzel.

Brakeley, J. Turner, Bordentown. An enthusiastic amateur and owner of the
Lahaway Cranberry plantations, whence I have received a very large
number of specimens from’him. He is the originator of the plaster cast
method of studying underground insects.

Brehme, H. H., Newark. Collects and breeds Lepidoptera, confining himself
mainly to the Papiliones, Sphinges and the larger Bombyces. To Mr.
Brehme I owe a very useful list of food plants and dates of the occurrence
of the early stages in the families studied, as well as the number of
broods noted. Mr. Brehme’s collections have been chiefly made in the
environs of Newark and in the Orange Mountains.

Bruner, Lawrence, Lincoln, Nebraska, Professor at the State University ;

specialist in the Orthoptera. Prof. Bruner has determined most of the
material collected by me, and has revised the manuscript of the list in
the Orthoptera, which may therefore be taken as representing the present
arrangement of most of the groups. Quite a uumber of species are
added on Prof. Bruner’s authority, and, altogether, the list makes a very
fair showing in this order.

Bt. Beutenmuller, William. Curator of Insects in the American Museum of
Natural History. Mr. Beutenmuller has supplied records in several
orders, and in Coleoptera and Lepidoptera, especially the latter, has sup-
plied many data concerning early stages, food habits, &c. He has pub-
lished several lists of species of various groups found near New York,
and these have been freely used. His chief collecting ground in New
Jersey has been the district near Fort Lee, along the foot of the Pali-
sades, on their wooded slopes and often on their summit. Greenwood
Lake and Lake Hopatcong have also been visited on entomological
excursions.

Buckman, Fred, Newark. Coleopterist and member of the Newark Society.

Bwl. Broadwell, W. H., Newark. A lepidopterist with a small, chiefly local
collection, but well kept and accurately dated. Some of the material
has been collected in the more northern parts of the State, and a large
proportion of it has been seen and determined by me.

C. Calvert, Dr. Philip P., Philadelphia. Professor in the University of Penn-
sylvania and specialist in the order Odonata. Dr. Calvert has not only
prepared the list in that order, but has also furnished a very large pro-
portion of the records. Furthermore, he has determined all my material

and almost all of that credited to other collections in the list. This
order, then, is probably as complete and accurate as any other in the
work.

Carney, John P. R., Camden. A collector of diurnal Lepidoptera who has
sent me a list of his captures in parts of Camden and Burlington
Counties between i867 and 1899. Some of these records are extremely
interesting, and, as the material has been seen by Dr. Skinner, the
determinations may be considered reliable.

Castle, Dr. D. M., Philadelphia. Has furnished a number of good records in
Coleoptera, many of them of species not found in recent years.

Ch. Chittenden, F. H., Assistant in the Division of Entomology, U. S.
Department of Agriculture. A coleopterist, specially interested in life
habits and development. Mr. Chittenden has collected at Orange and
there are a few records from other localities ; but his most important con-
tributions to the list are the notes on the food habits which are found
throughout the Coleoptera, chiefly in the Phytophaga and in those series
containing species that attack stored products.

Ckll. or Cockerell, T. D. A., Mesilla Park, New Mexico. Professor Cockerell
has contributed notes on some of the bees sent him from New Jersey and
also on certain groups of scale insects. The arrangement of the armored
scales is, in general, in accord with Prof. Cockerell’s papers on the group.

Clem. Clemens, Brackenridge. A writer on micro-lepidoptera, cited by Dr.
Dietz from published records only.

Cr. Crane, Marcus S, Caldwell. Mr. Crane is a general collector of many
years’ standing who has accumulated a large lot of material of all orders,
principally taken near Caldwell. Mr. Crane has worked up much of his
material himself, especially in the better known orders, but much of it
has also been submitted to specialists. Mr. Crane’s records are of
unusual value from the fact that in some orders no one else has collected
in that general district.

Cress. Cresson, Ezra T. Well known as an authority in Hymenoptera.
His collection, including many types, is in the rooms of the American
Entomological Society, and it contains many New Jersey specimens,
usually with a State label only. These are credited to ‘‘Cress Coll.’’
Mr. Cresson has published a catalogue of the Hymenoptera, giving
among other things the geographical distribution, and to this list refer-
ence is had when only ‘‘ Cress ’’ follows a record.

Crn. Cresson, George B., Philadelphia. Son of E. T. Cresson, and also
interested in Hymenoptera. All the records credited to him were made
for the first edition, and his collecting was largely done in Camden and
Gloucester Counties. As the material was in most cases compared with
the types in the collection of the American Entomological Society, the
records may be considered as reliable.

Davis, G. C., Pasadena, California. Mr. Davis is cited as authority for the
New Jersey habitat of certain parasitic Hymenoptera, and these records
come from his published papers ; some of his study material having been
sent in by collectors in our State.

Dietz, Dr. William G., Hazelton, Penna. Lepidoptera, and especially the

Dkn.

Doll,

Tineoidea. Dr. Dietz has prepared the list in this super-family, and is
authority not only for the general arrangement, but for many of the
species that are listed. He has been good enough to determine whatever
material has been sent him by New Jersey collectors, and also named not
a few Tortricids and Pyralids. Inthe Coleoptera Dr. Dietz’s papers in
the Rhynchophora have been followed in the groups treated by him.

or Dn. Dickerson, Edgar L., Newark. Is a student at Rutgers, and
has collected in Coleoptera and Lepidoptera for some years. His chief
collections were made at either Chester or in the vicinity of Newark. I
have seen most of his material and have determined some of it.

Jacob, Brooklyn, N. Y. A collector and breeder of Lepidoptera who has
few equals in the skill with which he prepares his specimens.

Davis, Wm. T., Staten Island.. One of the few really good general col-
lectors. He has made it an object to thoroughly explore the fauna of
Staten Island, and his material, so far as he has not felt competent to
work it up himself, has been identified by specialists, so the records may
be considered entirely reliable. He has also collected at Manchester, in
Ocean County, Newfoundland, in Morris County, and, to a less extent,
Spring Lake, Passaic County, and other localities.

Dyar, Dr. Harrison G., Washington, D. C., in charge of the Lepidoptera in

Edw.

the U. S. National Museum. Dr. Dyar has made a specialty of classifica-
tion based upon larval structures, and his general scheme is accepted in
this publication. He has supplied many notes on food plants of Lepidop-
tera and has also added much to the list of saw flies among the
Hymenoptera. In a few instances the facts with which his name are
associated were obtained from his published papers ; but as a rule they
are original notes made by Dr. Dyar for this work.

Edwards, Henry, late of New York City. Was a Lepidopterist of
recognized authority and published a list of the descriptions of early
stages from which some of the references to food plants are taken.

Fernald, Dr. C. H., Amherst, Mass., Professor of Entomology at the Agricul-

tural College. Is a special student in the 7ortricoidea Pyralidoidea, and
his published lists and revisions are made the basis for the present
enumeration. Dr. Fernald has kindly looked over and determined my
entire material in the super-families mentioned, and has also determined
many species for other collectors.

Fitch, Asa. Late of Albany, N. Y., and State Entomologist for many years;

Fox,

all records credited to him are from his published writings.

William J., Philadelphia. Assistant Librarian in the Academy of Nat-
ural Sciences. Special student in the aculeate Hymenoptera. Mr. Fox
has collected largely in Camden and Gloucester Counties, and his records
in the Hymenoptera add very largely to the list. In addition, he has
determined much of the material collected by others, including myself,
and this has made possible the incorporation of many records that would
otherwise have been unavailable. Without Mr. Fox’s assistance the
actual capture data in the Hymenoptera would have been scant indeed.

considerably to the number of species and bringing the arrangement into
accord with the present knowledge of the family.

Henshaw (or Hw), Samuel. Boston Society of Natural History, Boston,
Mass. Is a Coleopterist and especially interested in the literature of the
order. His check-list forms the basis for the arrangement used in this
work, and names of quite a number of species recorded from New Jersey

were sent me by Mr. Henshaw.

Hn. Hamilton, Dr. John, late of Pittsburg, Pa. Dr. Hamilton spent a short
period in early September for several years, at Brigantine beach, and his
collections in New Jersey were all made at that place and at that time-
Dr. Hamilton was known as a thorough collector and a good student of
beetles, his publications on coleopterological subjects and his faunal
lists marking him as both reliable and accurate.

Hnt. See Huntington.

Hopkins (sometimes Hpks.), A. D., Morgantown, West Virginia. Makes a
specialty of the Scolytids and has sent me many notes on food habits,
&c. My entire collection has been looked over by Mr. Hopkins, who
has also made some suggestions as to the synonymy or general relation
of some species to each other.

Horn, Dr. George H., late of Philadelphia. Dr. Horn was the leading Ameri-
can Coleopterist at the time of his death, and he determined a great
many species for me in the more obscure families. His collections were
always open to me and practically all of my larger material has been
directly compared with his specimens. Dr. Horn also named much of
the material taken in New Jersey by the Philadelphia collectors, and in
his material were a number of rare forms from our State. The collection
is now in the possession of the American Entomological Society.

Hulst, Dr. George H., Brooklyn, N. Y. Isa Lepidopterist and specializes in
the Geometridz and certain families of the Pyralidoidea. Dr. Hulst was
my predecessor as Entomologist to the Experiment Station, and his col-
lection, except in the special groups studied by him, is in New Bruns-
wick as the property of Rutgers College. Dr. Hulst has determined a

large portion of the Geometrids for the list and some of the Pyralids,
and his papers in the groups revised by him are here followed.

Huntington, William S., Philadelphia. A collector of Coleoptera and Lepi-
doptera, whose records were sent me by Mr. Johnson.

Jl. Jiilich, William, late of New York City. Was a Coleopterist of many
years’ standing, especially interested in Rhynchophora. In that series
his notes were furnished for the first edition, and they have lost none of
their value since. His collection is now with Mr. C. H. Roberts.

Jn. Johnson, Charles W. Curator of the Wagner Free Institute in Philadel-
phia. Isa specialist in Diptera, but collects also in other orders. He
has furnished useful records in nearly all, and the list of Diptera has
been entirely prepared by him. ‘This list and its editor is much indebted
to him, therefore, for material aid. Mr. Johnson has collected at several
points in New Jersey, but mainly, of late years, at Delaware Water Gap,
on the east side of the river; at Riverton, Burlington County, and at
other points readily accessible to Philadelphia.

Joutel, Louis H. New York City. Collects generally but I have records only
in the Coleoptera, mostly sent by Beutenmuller or Scheeffer.

Kp. Kemp, Stanley T., Elizabeth, formerly of Camden. Collects Lepidop-
tera, but has also collected Coleoptera and supplied some good records.
Mr. Kemp collects micro-lepidoptera as well as the larger forms, and his
material is always well dated. The determinations in the moths have
been largely made by myself, and in the Micros many species have been
submitted to Dr. C. H. Fernald and Dr. Wm. G. Dietz.

Kr. Kircher, George, Jersey City Heights. A Lepidopterist and member of
the Newark Society. Most of his material has been collected near his
home, and nearly all of it has been looked over or determined by me.

Lansing, Harmon, New Brunswick. An amateur, general collector who has
taken some very good species at Lakewood.

Lg. Leng, Chas. W., Staten Island. Mr. Leng is a Coleopterist and a
recognized authority in the family Cerambycidz. He has added a very
considerable number of species to the list from Staten Island and a few
also from Newfoundland, Manchester and other parts of the State. His
collecting trips have been largely in company with Mr. Wm. T. Davis,
also of Staten Island.

Li. Liebeck, Charles, Philadelphia : an excellent Coleopterist whose records
in the list of beetles may be relied upon. As he is in practical charge of
the arrangement of the Coleoptera in the collection of the American
Entomological Society, has free access to the Horn collection for com-
parison and study and is himself an indefatigable collector, his records
are especially valuable. His collecting has been chiefly in Camden,
Gloucester and Atlantic Counties.

Ll. Linell, Martin L., late aid in the Department of Insects, U. S. National
Museum. An excellent Coleopterist, who, some years ago, collected
carefully throughout Hudson County, largely in the marshes ; but also
along the Palisades and a little in the Orange Mountains. His deter-
minations were carefully made and may be relied upon.

Leeffier, Jacob, Newark. Coleopterist, from whom many records were obtained
for the first edition. His material was at that time seen and partly
determined by myself.

Love, Dr. E G, New York City. Collects generally, but chiefly Coleoptera,
and in this order his records are especially useful, because of the dates of
capture which accompany most of them. He has collected at a number
of points in the State, but mostly along the Palisades, north and south
from Fort Lee. His material has been generally determined by special-
ists in the various orders, hence the records are, in all groups, to be
relied upon.

Lt. Laurent, Philip, Philadelphia. Collects generally, yet chiefly Coleoptera
and Lepidoptera, specializing in the latter. Mr. Laurent’s records have
been chiefly in the Lepidoptera, and largely in the families of micros,
where his material has been named by good authority. His collections
have been largely in Camden, Gloucester, Atlantic and Cape May Coun-
ties.

N. Nell, Philip, Philadelphia. Collects generally and his records are cited
by several contributors.

Neum. Neumioegen, Berthold, late of New York City. Was a Lepidopterist
who had accumulated during his lifetime one of the largest collections in
the United States. This collection is now in the Museum of the Brooklyn
Institute of Arts and Sciences. Mr. Neumoegen collected some inter-
esting species at Morris Plains, which are recorded here.

O. S. Osten-Sacken, Baron R. von. One of the most eminent of the earlier
writers on American Diptera. Collected in New Jersey, and published
records of his captures are cited by Mr. Johnson.

Osborn, Prof. Herbert, Columbus, Ohio, State University. Specialist in the
Hemiptera. Prof. Osborn has prepared the list of Homoptera in its
entirety from his own notes and from notes and material supplied to him
by myself and others. All of my material has been in his hands and
also the material of some others of the collectors in this order. The
Homoptera, therefore, represent not only all that has been actually col-
lected in the State, but also the present classification of that order.

Pergande, Theo., Washington, D. C., assistant in the Division of Ento-
mology, U. S. Department of Agriculture. Mr. Pergande has very
kindly looked over the manuscript of the list in the plant lice, and has
made both additions and corrections. He also sent me the data for the
list in 7hysanoptera or Thrips, and the whole of that order is, except as
to the arrangement, Mr. Pergande’s work. I have to acknowledge
general assistance in other directions from him, and it gives me pleasure
to. admit my indebtedness for much general information.

Pm. Palm, Charles, New York City. An enthusiastic collector of Coleoptera
and Lepidoptera who has spent much time in the region about Lake
Hopatcong, with which locality his name is most generally associated in
this list. Much of Mr. Palm’s material has been determined by special-
ists, hence the records are, in most cases, reliable.

accurate dates and notes on food habits. Quite a number of the Coleop-
tera have been determined by myself while some of the Homoptera have
been submitted to Prof. Herbert F. Osborn. Of the Heteroptera many

Reineck, William R., Philadelphia, at one time much interested in Coleoptera.
Many of Mr. Reineck’s records came to me from Mr. Johnson, but he
has also sent me a very good list of Staphylinide from specimens deter-
mined for him by Mr. E. A. Schwarz.

R. Rhoads, Samuel N., Philadelphia. A Zoologist with a special interest in
the insects, and particularly dragon flies. In 1899 he made a bicycle
journey through parts of South Jersey during the latter part of the
season and captured a considerable lot of Odonata, which Dr. Calvert
has determined.

Riederer, L. A collector of Dragon flies, whose records are cited by Dr.
Calvert. Some of the records credited to R. belong here, the confusion
having been caused because one set of records were interlined after the
MSS. had been completed, the conflict being unnoticed until the form
was printed.

Riley, Dr. C. V., also C. V. R., Late of Washington, D. C. All the records
are from published data and mostly to early stages or food-plants.

Roberts, Chris H., New York City. A Coleopterist who specializes in aquatic
forms, and who has collected at various points in New Jersey. The data
used here were all supplied for the previous edition of the list; but Mr.
Roberts has since then given me a number of named specimens which
have served as bases for comparison with material collected by myself.

Say, Thomas. One of the fathers of American Entomology. All records
credited to him are from his published writings.

Sb. Seib, Simon, Jersey City. Lepidopterist of long standing, and has in
times past bred many species making notes of dates and food plants; all
of which he has kindly placed at my disposal. I have looked over the
collection of moths and have determined most of the smaller species.
Mr. Seib’s chief collecting grounds have been the environs of Jersey City
Heights, Newark, and the Oranges.

American Museum of Natural History, and a good Coleopterist. Mr.
Schaeffer has collected in New Jersey, chiefly about Snake Hill and along
the Palisades, using the sweep net perhaps more than any other collect-
ing apparatus. He has added a number of species to the list that are not

Skinner, Dr. Henry, Philadelphia, Editor of Entomological News and
Curator of the American Entomological Society. Is a Lepidopterist and
confines his studies mainly to the Papilionides or butterflies. His recent
catalogue of this super-family has been followed, and Dr. Skinner has
added many dates and localities. He collects incidentally in other
orders, turning over the material to his specialist friends. South Jersey
generally, but especially Cape May, is his collecting ground.

Smith, John B. My own collections have been made throughout the
State and in all orders. Jamesburg, Anglesea and Lahaway have been
more systematically explored than any other points, but many of the
species recorded from Lahaway are really the results of the unselfish
labors of Mr. J. Turner Brakeley, who has sent me not only all the
material collected by him, but also voluminous and interesting notes on
their habits. It may be added that in every order except the Coleoptera
and Lepidoptera all the material collected by me has been submitted to
specialists for determination.

Schaupp, Frank G., late of Brooklyn, New York. A Coleopterist of
recognized standing and a specialist in the families Cicindelide and
Carabide, in which he has published faunal lists. His main collecting
grounds, twenty years ago, were along the base of the heights back of
Hoboken and extending northwardly. Fort Lee, Clifton, Greenville and
the banks of the Passaic were also explored and the records in the
families named are generally reliable.

Few-Seiss, C., Philadelphia. Specializes chiefly in Orthoptera and Hem-
iptera, in which he has added many records. These are of great import-
ance because so few collectors of the orders named exist in and about
the State. South Jersey and the points easily accessible from Philadel-
phia have been chiefly collected over by Mr. Seiss.

Schwarz, E. A., Washington, D.C. Assistant to the Entomologist in the
U. S. Department of Agriculture and Honorary Assistant in charge of
the Coleoptera, in the U. S. National Museum. Mr. Schwarz is the best
Coleopterist at present living in the United States. He has been good
enough to look over the first edition of the list carefully and to note such
errors and probable errors as occurred. In this way the old list has been
cleared of such species as were probably erroneously identified. Mr.
Schwarz has determined many New Jersey specimens for others as well
as myself, and, notably, all the Staphylinids credited to Mr. Reinick.
He has done comparatively little collecting in New Jersey, yet is sole
authority of the occurrence of several good species in our State. He
has been good enough to allow me to use the biological and other notes
to the list of the coleopterous fauna of the District of Columbia, com-
piled by Mr. Ulke and himself. All the citations are marked ‘‘U”’ (q.
v ). Finally, Mr. Schwarz has also revised the list in the Psyllidz, and
has added the notes concerning their food habits.

Uhler, Dr. Philip R., Baltimore, Md. Our leading authority in Hemiptera-
Heteroptera. The records cited are chiefly from his check list. Dr.
Uhler has also determined much of the material cited by other con-
tributors to this list. His credit is therefore greater than appears from
the actual number of citations made.

U. Ulke, Henry, Washington, D.C. The oldest living collector of Coleop-
tera in the United States. With Mr. E. A. Schwarz he has compiled a:
faunal list of Coleoptera for the District of Columbia with notes on the
food and other habits of the species. These notes Mr. Schwarz was good
enough to place at my service, and whatever has been used, is credited’
to ‘U.’? Mr. Ulke has done no collecting in New Jersey.

US Ag. United States Department of Agriculture, Division of Entomology.
In this division an index is made of all the species complained of or sent.
in for information, and the locality from which the species was sent or
complaint was made, is connected with the species. Dr. L. O. Howard,
Entomologist to the Department, was good enough to have this index
looked over for records of species sent in from New Jersey, and quite a.
number of useful notes were obtained in this way.

USNM. United States National Museum, Washington, D.C. This collec-
tion is now altogether the largest in the country, though exceeded by
individual collections in almost every order. It contains much material
from New Jersey from my old collection which was sold to the Museum
in 1887, from the Linell collection of Coleoptera, and from the Fox col-
lection of Hymenoptera. There is also some material from other sources,.
and I have looked over all the orders other than Coleoptera, Lepidoptera:
and Diptera, for notes as to localities or other data.

Vand. Vanduzee, E. P., Buffalo, N. Y. Specialist in the Hemiptera, and
chiefly in the Homoptera. Has determined considerable material for me ;.
but the New Jersey records here cited are all from his published works.

Viereck, Henry $., Philadelphia. A collector of Hymenoptera and Diptera
whose records were sent me by Mr. C. W. Johnson.

Wat. Weidt, A. J., Newark. A Lepidopterist who is beginning to devote
especial attention to the smaller species. Most of his collecting has been
done in the environs of Newark and in the Orange Mountains, and all of
his material has been seen by me.

W. Wenzel, Henry W., Philadelphia. One of the best collectors of Coleop-
tera in the country, and possessing the best individual collection in
Philadelphia. His collections have been chiefly made along the line of
the Atlantic City R. R., in Camden and Gloucester Counties within easy
reach of Philadelphia, and at Anglesea, Cape May County. This latter
point has been a favorite as the number of species taken there will testify.
He has also collected a little at Lake Hopatcong and in the Orange Mts.
To Mr. Wenzel the list of Coleoptera owes its completeness more than to.
any one other individual, and in the families Scydmeenidze and Psela-
phidze he has prepared the entire list. Incidentally he has also collected
in other orders, the material gathered being generally turned over to his.
friends according to their specialties.

CATALOGUE OF INSECTS. 731

Zabriskie, Rev. J. L. Has collected generally, largely at Flatbush, Long
Island, and at Nyack and other points just north of the New Jersey line.
Some of his specimens are in the U. S. Nat. Mus., and these are credited
to him in this list. '

A few names may have been omitted, where only cited once or twice, but I
think no contributor of any important record has been overlooked: none has
‘been intentionally left out.

Illustrations.

All the blocks used in illustrating this list belong to either the State of New
Jersey or to the New Jersey Agricultural College Experiment Station ; none
have been made or purchased especially for this book. These cuts have been
accumulated since the College Station has been established to illustrate the
bulletins and reports and some of the lectures delivered before the State Board
of Agriculture. Some of the blocks had been purchased before I became con-
nected with the Station, chiefly from the late Dr. C. V. Riley, and they have
been constantly added to since that time, either by purchase of electrotypes
from the individuals or institutions originally publishing them, by purchase of
duplicates of re-drawn figures, by re-engraving from prints or in other ways.
No records have been preserved of the immediate source of the blocks, and I
desire to give credit here as nearly as possible to the original author or pub-
lisher rather than the person or institution from whom the electrotype was
| directly obtained.
| The following are from the Reports or Bulletins of the New Jersey College
Experiment Station or from the Reports of the State Board of Agriculture :
1, 33, 36, 37, 38, 43, 44, 47, 59, 61, 62, 71, 73, 84, 87, 99, 101, 104, 105, 111, 112,
113, 114, 117, 123, 125, 138, 157a, 158, 162, 166, 190, 192, 201, 215, 216, 218, 219,
221, 226, 232, 234, 235, 239, 240, 241, 249, 260, 276, 283, 284, 285, 289, 291, 297,
310, 311, 320, 321, 322, 329.

The pioneer in the preparation of artistic and characteristic illustrations of
insects in the United States was undoubtedly Dr. C. V. Riley, whose untimely
death was a severe loss to economic entomology. The numerous figures in his
Misso~ri Reports, in the American Entomologist, and those signed by him in
the publications of the United States Departments of the Interior and Agricul-
ture, mark a distinct advance in this branch of professional art. The following
are duplicates of or reproductions from his Figs. : 15, 18, 19, 21, 22, 34, 35, 49,
55, 58, 64, 66, 67, 68, 70, 72, 75, 76, 77, 80, 81, 82, 83, 86, 88, 92, 96, 102, 103, 106,
107, 108, 110, 115, 120, 122, 124, 126, 128, 131, 135, 142, 143, 144, 145, 147, 148,
149, 150, 151, 152, 153, 165, 174, 175, 176, 177, 178, 179, 180, 181, 182, 183, 187,
188, 189, 195, 196, 197, 199, 200, 203, 204, 205, 206, 208, 214, 220, 222, 223, 227,
228, 229, 230, 245, 246, 247, 248, 252, 253, 255, 261, 262, 263, 268, 273, 274, 275,
278, 279, 298, 299, 300, 301, 302, 309, 313, 314, 323, 324.

Scarcely second in the importance of its contributions to entomological art,
stands the Division of Entomology of the United States Department of Agricul-
ture. During the incumbency of Dr. Riley as Entomologist a high grade of
excellence in illustration was established and this has been more than main-
tained by his successor in office, Dr. L. O. Howard. The artists employed in
the work have had years of experience and actual knowledge of insects and
their structure ; but in addition their work is superintended and directed by
the authors of the essays or reports to be illustrated. In this way exceptional
accuracy of resemblance is attained and such fidelity to detail that improvement

seems difficult. The liberal policy of the department places these illustrations
at the service of all reasonably entitled thereto at the mere cost of an electro-
type. The following are from the publications of the department : 12, 13, 14,
31, 32, 45, 48, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 56, 57, 65, 85, 89, 90, 91, 97, 118, 119, 129, 132,
133, 134, 136, 137, 139, 140, 141, 155, 156, 157, 159, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172,
173, 184, 185, 186, 193, 194, 202, 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 224, 225, 231, 233, 236,
237, 238, 242, 243, 244, 250, 256, 257, 258, 264, 265, 266, 267, 270, 271, 272, 277,
280, 281, 282, 287, 288, 290, 292, 303, 304, 305, 308, 315, 316, 317, 318.

The following are from or after Packard, chiefly from his useful ‘‘ Guide to
the Study of Insects’’: 7, 8, 9, 17, 25, 26, 28, 29, 60, 78, 109, 254, 259, 306,
