Extract

During the last two years a considerable number of rather small lepidopterous larvæ have been found on alfalfa (Medicago sativa) in Southern New Mexico. In the material collected there are nine distinct species represented. None of them have been bred. These larvæ are of considerable economic importance, as they occasion a certain amount of injury to the alfalfa crop, which is the surest and most paying crop of the Mesilla valley.
