Hypena Humuli
This insect, the larva of which does considerable damage to the hop, is widely distributed over the whole of the United States and Canada. It is somewhat variable in the shade of the wings and the amount of maculation upon them. For an account of the habits of the insect and the best manner to guard against the ravages which the larva commits the reader is referred to the excellent article by Dr. L. O. Howard of the Department of Agriculture in Washington upon insects injurious to the hop-vine, which was published as the Seventh Bulletin of the New Series of Bulletins issued by the Division of Entomology of the Department.
