Overview

Excerpt from The Codling Moth Instead of the dark fuscous color of the common form, the variety is light buff, with slightly darker buff transverse striation. In the common form the forewings are finely irrorated with white, each scale being slightly white tipped; in Simpsonii the scales are not white tipped. The terminal patch, which in the common form is dark coppery brown, nearly black, and with dark Violaceous metallic streaks, is in simpsonii light fawn brown with pure golden metallic streaks. The extreme apical edge before the cilia is in the common form black, in the variety reddish brown, and the cilia in simpsonii are light golden ocherous instead of the dark fuscous of the common form. The head, palpi, body, legs, and the tuft of hairs on the hind wings of the male are correspondingly light-buff colored in the variety instead of dark fuscous, as in the common form.
