3. September 15, 1913. (In describing this new species the author states 

 that "although the transmission of verruga by means of the species . . . . 

 has not yet been accomplished, it is now practically certain from the ento- 

 mological standpoint, considered in connection with the very peculiar con- 

 ditions of the verruga zones, that it is the vector, if not the true intermediary 

 host, of the causative organism of the disease." — J. C. C.)

 enemies of the Citrus white fly. Bureau of Entomology Bulletin 120: 1-58, 

 pis. 1-12. February 28, 1913. (An internal parasite of the white fly, Aley- 

 rodes citri, was discovered in India; but, since specimens shipped to the United 

 States arrived during the winter months and thus could not be established, 

 the possibility of their being able to survive in this climate and their subse- 

 quent efficiency are problematical. — J. C. C.)
