Extract

In his recent revision Rupert (1949) has focused attention on the geometrid genus Plagodis. In the present paper the writer presents descriptions of larvae of three of the four Canadian species in this genus and of the larvae of Anagoga occiduaria (Wlk.) and Hyperetis amicaria (H.-S.). Forbes (1948) notes that these three genera make a neat subgroup in the tribe Anagogini and indicates that there are differences in the larvae. From studies during the summer of 1949 it was determined that there are differences in these larvae; and the differences, along with the similarities, are set forth in this paper.
