. Insects injurious to fruits. Illustrated with four hundred and forty wood-cuts. Insect pests. 196 INSECTS INJURIOUS TO THE PEACH, Fig. 205. No. 100.—The New York Weevil. Ithi/cei'iis noveboracensis (Forster). This is a snout-beetle or carculio, the largest species we have ill this country. It appears in May or June, and injures fruit-trees by eating the buds and gnawing into the twigs at their base, often causing them to break and fall; it also gnaws oif the tender bark early in the season before the buds have expanded, and later eats the leaves oif just at their base, and devours the tender shoots. It is from four to six tenths of an inch in length (see c, Fig. 205), of an ash-gray color marked with black; on each of its wing-case& there are four whitish lines interrupted by black dots, and three smaller ones on the thorax. The scutel, which is at the point of junction of the wing-cases with the thorax, is yellowish. The beetle is said to be more active at night than in the day, and seems to show a preference Ob for the tender, succulent shoots of the lapple, although it makes quite free with tlioFe of the peach, pear, plum, and cherry.. Sometimes it occurs in swarms in nurseries, when it seriously injures the young trees. In the East it is seldom present in sufficient numbers to prove injurious, but it is very common in the valley of the Missis- sippi. The larva is found in the twigs and tender branches of the bur-oak, and probably also in those of the pig-nut hickory. When the female is about to deposit an egg, she makes a longitudinal excavation with her jaws, as shown at a in Fig. 205, eating upwards under the bark, and afterwards turns round and places an egg in the opening. The larva (6 in the figure) is a soft, footless grub, of a pale-yellow color, with a tawny head; it is not known whether.
