DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE DISTRIBUTION The exact distribution of the bud moth has been difficult to as- certain, as the unfortunate confusion of the bud moth with numerous species similar to it has doubtless given rise to a number of errone- ous records. The map (fig. 1) shows the distribution of this species in North America as indicated by available record's. The extension of the range of the bud moth south of the District of Columbia is based on reports in the correspondence files of the Bureau of Entomology of its presence at Amherst

The map (fig. 1) shows the distribution of this species in North America as indicated by available record's. The extension of the range of the bud moth south of the District of Columbia is based on reports in the correspondence files of the Bureau of Entomology of its presence at Amherst Court House and Waldrop, Va., Oakwoods, N. C, and Mclntyre, Ga. Through this section the pest is apparently present at most in very small numbers. A similar condition seems to exist in the Middle West. R. L. Webster writes from North Dakota that he has no definite record of the bud moth from that State. Fracker writes that, while the bud moth has. Fig. 1.—Distribution of the bud moth in North America been mentioned as occurring in Wisconsin, specimens accompanying such reports have always turned out to be the leaf crumpler, Mineola indigenella Zeller. Haseman, writing from Missouri, states that there seem to be no official records of the presence of Spilonota ocel- lana in that State. Dwight Isely, formerly of this bureau, reports that in the course of extensive collecting he has never seen the bud moth in Arkansas, or anywhere in the Ozarks. The pest is men- tioned in experiment station publications from the other midwestern States, but apparently is not present in serious abundance. The areas of most serious infestation seem to be southeastern Canada, the Northeastern States, northwestern group of States, and British Columbia. The bud moth is said to occur throughout the British Isles and Europe, except in the most southern Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and
