Descriptions and Keys to Larvae and Pupae of the Grass Loopers, Mocis SPP., in Florida (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Abstract
Comparative descriptions and keys are given for larvae and pupae of 4 species of Mocis Hubner, all of which are pests of pasture and turf grasses in Florida. Length and shape of anal setae separate M. latipes Guenee and M. disseverans Walker from M. marcida Guenee and M. texana Morrison. No characters of larvae or pupae were found to separate M. latipes from M. disseverans; and M. marcida from M. texana.Downloads
