The apple pest {H. âi"Iine!li') was most troublesome in ISG-j, 1877 and ISSO. Whole orchards were entirely devastated in the two first-named years, the foliage being as Viare as in midwinter. Such an attack not only ruins the year's crop, but so harms the trees that tliey do not bear crops for some subsequent seasons. LlFE-HlSTOEY AXn Haeits, The life-historv seems to have been confused in describing this pest with that of K p'"!,Jhn2). The fact that the same species was thought to attack both haw- thorn and apple probably is the cause of this. Tlie apple .spiecies (1) is smaller than that found ou the hawthorn, measuring aliout 17 mm. ; the head is white and also the pialpii: the tliorax is snowy-white with black spots, as al~o are the fore wingniall black spots, the cilia a similar colour to the wings ; posterior wings grey, tlie fringe uniformly grey, thus diftering from If. jmJ'-^I'-'-. in whic'.i the liinge of the pijsterior wings i-^ piale grey or wliite with grey apex. It is famd widely over England, and Carpenter lecoid-- it from Ireland. The moth appears in .luh' and August. The earliest record I luwe of it is the 4th of July and tlie latent the 10th of August.
