Migration Of The Army Cutworm, Chorizagrotis Auxiliaris (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). I. Evidence For A Migration, Kenneth P. Pruess

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

Indirect evidence is presented to support the conclusion that the army cutworm, Chorizagrotis auxiliaris (Grote), migrates from the Great Plains to the Rocky Mountains during the spring and the same individuals return to the Plains in the fall. Spring activity occurs progressively later from east to west, the delay being greater than that caused by emergence but commensurate with flight potential of the moth. Flight is predominately from east to west and a constant turnover of moths occurs at all locations on the Plains. Seasonal occurrence in the mountains coincides with the period of inactivity on the Plains, during which …

Distribution Of Eggs And Leaf Mines Of Choristoneura Houstonana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) Attacking Eastern Red Cedar, Juniperus Virginiana, Elvis A. Heinrichs

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

Cedar at Larned, Kansas, appeared to be more severely damaged in the upper and southern portions of the trees. There was a significant difference, in numbers of eggs and leaf mines, between the upper and lower halves and between compass directions; the upper and southern portions of the trees being most highly infested.

Choristoneura houstonana (Grote) is a pest of eastern red cedar, Juniperus virginiana, grown as a home landscape ornamental in shelter belts and windbreaks in western Kansas. It has been present for many years but the first reliable record in Kansas was in 1964, when it was sent …

A Revision Of The Genus Furnaricola(Mallophaga) With Descriptions Of New Species, M. A. Carriker Jr.

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

The present paper has been prepared with much care for two reasons: The first and most urgent is to clarify the taxonomic position of the genus itself, which has been a controversial one since it was placed under the synonomy of Rallicola in the 1952 "Checklist of Mallophaga" by Hopkins and Clay. The second reason is to describe additional material which has been collected by the author since the genus was established in 1944 and also to record its occurrence on two other families of birds, from one of which no Mallophaga have previously been taken..

It will be noted …
