03B387B8E948FFA5FE6B81C394E30045.taxon	description	, Although caterpillars or their work were found in every garden we visited in the different districts of the island, the moths of our collection were obtained mostly at Agana and Piti as follows: Agana swamp, May 4, reared from caterpillars on taro, Swezey; Machanao, June 2, reared from caterpillars on tobacco, Swezey; Piti, Aug. 13, Sept. 3, at light, Swezey; Piti, Oct. 25, Nov. 24, reared from caterpillars on banana, Swezey. This is called the cotton moth in Egypt. It is a pest in the tropics around the world. It does not yet occur in Hawaii, but is known in most islands of the Pacific. It was collected by Fullaway in 1911 but not recorded at the time. It was first recorded there in 1927 as a pest on taro. In 1936, caterpillars were found on a large variety of host plants, taro, banana, tobacco, tomato, onion, bean, cabbage, corn, and amaranth. More were found on banana and taro than on other plants, but they were not numerous enough to cause extensive injury. In cages, caterpillars fed and thrived on morning-glory, pumpkin, and papaya leaves, but none were found on these plants in the open. The eggs are laid in large clusters of one layer on the under side of the leaves. One cluster contained " 1,224 eggs, but the usual number was 200 to 400. On hatching, the larvae feed gregariously for a time, but eventually scatter. While small, they eat only the surface of the leaf, but when larger consume the whole substance of the leaf blade. The full-grown caterpillar is about 35 to 40 mm., of a general mottled fuscous coloration with two dorsal lines of segmental black marks, wide apart, and the marks usually have yellow on their ventral edge. The spiracles are black and situated in the ventral edge of fuscous spots, a whitish dot is situated above and a little behind each. Apparently very few of the caterpillars reached maturity, as large-sized caterpillars were never found in proportionate abundance to the number of young hatching from the egg clusters. It is likely that the abundant Polistes and Icaria wasps were preying on them while still of small size, though we did not observe them doing this. These · wasps were in such abundance as to require quantities of caterpillars as food for their young, and young Prodenia caterpillars would furnish the most ready supply for them. While we were in Guam a supply of the egg-parasite Telenomus nawai was sent from the Experiment Station, Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association, Honolulu. These parasites readily bred on Prodenia eggs, and were reared for distribution at the Agricultural School until they became well established.	en	Swezey, O. H.

An ichneumonid, Echthromorpha conopleura Krieger, was reared from pupae of this moth. This moth has a wide distribution in the Old World tropics and the islands of the Pacific. For a long time it was supposed to be present i. n Hawaii, where it had become known as the nutgrass armyworm, and sometimes severely injured cane fields which were infested with nutgrass. Recently, however, the correct name for the pest in Hawaii was determined as Laphygma e. xempta (Walker), which has much the same geographical distribution and habits as Spodoptera mauritia. Fullaway reared Spodoptera mauritia from Bermuda grass in 1911. In more recent years it has been known as a rice pest, often becoming numerous in the rice fields, or in the seedling beds. Eggs were abundantly laid on under side of leaves of rose bushes in lawn at our residence. The caterpillars, never numerous, did not feed on the rose but ate several kinds of grass. Some of the caterpillars hatching from eggs were fed to maturity on grass. The caterpillars are very similar to those of Laphygma e. xempta in Hawaii. The Teien ~ omus nawai from Honolulu became established on the Spodoptera eggs, as well as on Prodenia eggs.	en	Swezey, O. H.

03B387B8E94EFFA4FE028716947A0452.taxon	description	This pretty little moth has a wide distribution in central and South Africa, India, Ceylon, Andaman Islands, Java, and Queensland. I have seen a specimen from Fiji, but do not know if it has been recorded from there. This is the first record of its occurrence in Guam. Our specimens were all reared from caterpillars on Waltheria americana. The caterpillars were feeding in the terminal bud and webbed together undeveloped leaves.	en	Swezey, O. H.

Now recorded from Guam for the first time. The species has 23 synonyms, and aconsiderable variation. J. F. G. Clarke considers that a thorough study of the male genitalia might result in distinguishing several good species in the lot. In his study of the male genitalia of Guam material, it came nearest to specimens from Texas, and was different from material from the Orient. It was quite common in Guam, the slender, green, looping caterpillars feeding on Sida acuta.	en	Swezey, O. H. (1946): Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Arctiidae, Agrotidae, and Pyralidae of Guam.

03B387B8E947FFADFEFC818D911E04C6.taxon	discussion	This beautiful moth was described from Fiji and is also known in Samoa. It was very common in Guam, where we record it for the first time. Its caterpillars were always to be found on the leaves of Premna gaudichaudii. The leaves are spun together for shelter or hiding place, and pupation takes place in the same situation. The full-grown caterpillar is 25 mm. long; black, with two narrow, white dorsal lines, an interrupted white line above the spiracles, and a white line below the spiracles; spiracles narrow oval, whitish; underside and legs pale; head entirely black; setae of abdomen white, of moderate length. Chrysalis 15 mm. long; light brown; wing sheaths exten. d to apical margin of fourth abdominal segment; cremaster black, produceq and hooked into silk. Most of our specimens were reared from Premna; one was from an undetermined Philippine tree. The caterpillars were often observed, but rearing was not attempted.	en	Swezey, O. H.

03B387B8E95AFFB0FE648068973C058F.taxon	description	This rice leafroller was described from Japan, and I have not found it recorded elsewhere. No doubt it has been present in Guam for some time, as I find mention of a rice pest in the November 1933 number of The Guam Recorder which is apparently this insect: " The yearly invasion of the rice leaf folder upon young rice in the seed beds has made its appearance. This pest is harmful only while in the larva stage, injuring the plant by folding the leaf edges and fastening them together with a mucilaginous secretion. With this protection it feeds, but the principal damage is done by preventing the leaves from performing their proper · functions, thus retarding growth. This year the invasion of the folder is in much greater proportions than in previous. years. " I saw similar work in rice seed beds, and also on maturing rice, but without serious results. I reared moths from the larvae found and presume it is the same pest as described in the quotation. Some of the larvae were parasitized by Apanteles guamensis Fullaway. This moth is very similar to the preceding species which is a leafroller on grasses. Another similar species recorded on rice in the Philippines and India has the name Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Guenee).	en	Swezey, O. H.

It was common in Guam, many coming to light at Piti. Fullaway reported a pyraustid moth (probably this species) which was destructive to lawns in 1911. We did not find it so abundant as to be injurious, but found its caterpillars feeding in the turf in grasslands, hiding under bits of board and under edges of dried cow droppings, or in webbed dead grass leaves. The moths were very abundant among weeds in a cornfield adjacent to a Panicuni grass field, but at the time I did not find any caterpillars.	en	Swezey, O. H.

03B387B8E95DFFB7FED28300909C04A1.taxon	discussion	This moth is the notorious European corn borer, which has become widespread in the United States during the past 20 years. Its distribution is throughout central and southern Europe, Egypt, west-central and northern Asia, northern India, Siberia, Japan, Philippines, and Guam. The first record of it in Guam was by Fullaway in 1911 under the name Pyrausta vastatrix, given by Schultze in Manila, a name which was later recognized as a synonym. It became a very serious pest in Guam, and by 1920 was reported damaging SO percent of the corn crop in some regions. Parasite introduction was attempted in 1926 to 1931. Several kinds of parasites were imported. In 1936 we found that a tachinid, Lydella stabulans var. grisescens Robineau­ Desvoidy, was established and so efficient that very little damage was done to the corn crop by the European corn borer. Whenever we found corn borer larvae in corn stalks, usually SO to 100 percent of them were parasitized. Often in examining the corn borer burrows in corn stalks, the puparia of the parasite would be found, usually one or two and occasionally three per burrow. This tachinid was introduced from Japan by Vandenberg in 1931. At first it was known in Guam reports as Masicera senilis, later as Ceronwsia lepida. In subsequent studies of it, experts in the Tachinidae settled on the n ~ me Lydella stabulans var. grisescens. One other parasite, Cremastus flavoorbitalis (Cameron )), introduced from Japan by Vandenberg in 1931 became established in Guam. I reared it from several species of leafroller moths, but not from the corn borer.	en	Swezey, O. H. (1946): Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Arctiidae, Agrotidae, and Pyralidae of Guam.
