Book Description
Excerpt from Report of Work of the Experiment Station of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association: The Hawaiian Sugar Cane Bud Moth (Ereunetis Flavistriata) With an Account of Some Allied Species and Natural Enemies The bud moth Ercunctis flavistriata) is apparently not a native insect, although it is not at present known elsewhere. It is an example of an insect of other habits becoming attached to an introduced cultivated plant, i.e., sugar cane. It is always to be found in the cane fields of the Hawaiian Islands, and usually very numerous; but it also retains its habits of feeding on various other plants. It is usually not particularly injurious, as it customarily feeds on the dead and drying tissues of the leaf sheaths of sugar cane; but when very numerous and on particularly soft varieties of cane the caterpillars do considerable eating of the epidermis, and also eat into the buds and destroy them, occasioning a good deal of loss where the cane is desired for cuttings to plant. Associated with this species are often also the caterpillars of several other species of moths, some of which feed in dead cane sticks or in the tunnels of the cane borer Sphenophorus obscurus) as well. This bulletin treats of the habits of the bud moth and its lepidopterous associates, and also their parasites so far as any are known. Of the twenty or more species of Ereunetis, very little is known regarding their habits. They are distributed from West Indies to Marquesas, Fiji, Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia, India, and Cevlon; but there are only two species which are known from more than one locality: minuscula in West Indies and Hawaii; simulans in Hawaii, Marquesas, Fiji, and Ceylon. Aside from the species herein treated, one species (inloptera) in Australia has been bred from a pupa in bark of a fibrous-barked species of Eucalyptus (Meyrick). An Indian species (seminivora) was bred from a pod of Cassia occidentalis (Walsingham).- This is in accord with the habits of our species; for of our five species simulans feeds on bark and wood of dead trees; minuscula in dead wood and pods of various leguminous trees and plants; flavistriata on dead leaves, etc., of sugar cane, palms, and various other plants. It is probable that when the habits of other species of the genus are studied, they will be found quite similar.
