THE COWPEA CURCULIO. 137 base of the thorax anteriorly and three times as long as the latter, the shoulder obtuse, somewhat rounded; lateral margins straight, toward the apex very slightly narrowed, the apex itself taken together obtusely rounded, convex above, obscurely bronze, somewhat polished, with rows of deep, round, excavated pits, the even surface between minutely punctulate; femora moderately clavate, below and behind the middle armed with acute robust teeth; tibiae compressed, somewhat bowed, with teeth obsolete; tarsi elongate, with yellow pads below. FEEDING HABITS. Feeding punctures made by both males and females in cowpea pods can not be outwardly distinguished from the egg punctures. They are made in the same places on the pod and by the same methods, some of the beetles even going so far as to enlarge the 'cavity at the bottom of the excavation, probably because they prefer the tissue of the peas themselves to that of the pods as food. If either a feeding puncture or an egg puncture reaches and penetrates a pea it causes an abnormal development of the kernel even though no larva develops. The pea becomes gnarled, one-sided, and light in. d Fig. 67.—The cowpea curculio ( Chalcodermus seneus): a, Adult; 6, larva; c, head of same; d, pupa, a, b, d, Enlarged; c, more enlarged.

As the writer has not had opportunity to observe the work of the beetles on cotton the following description of such injury is quoted from Prof. Wilmon Newell as it occurred in Georgia in 1904: Injury by this species was personally investigated at Herod, near Dawson, Ga., May 27, 1904. Beetles were found upon about 15 acres of cotton, from 4 to 10 beetles on each plant. The plants were about 4 inches high. The beetles feed for the most
