Contribution to a monograph of the gryllid genus Myrmecophila, F. 

 ScHiMMER (Ztschr. Wiss. ZooL, 93 (1909), No. 3, pp. Jt09-53Jt, pis. 3, flgs. 26; 

 (lbs. in Jour. Roy. Micros. 8oc. [London], 1910, No. 1, pp. 28, 29).— In this 

 juonograph the author deals mainly with the forms found in ants' nests, espe- 

 cially with M. accrvonnn, which was the only species that could be procured 

 a]i^•e and kept under observation. Only 11 forms of Myrmecophila are known 

 but these are distributed over all H regions of the earth.

 Jordbniksomrddet^, No. U, pp. 190, figs. 92).— In this first part of the work 

 on Swedish Aphididne. the author considers the Pemphiginse. 



Following the introduction and a brief historical review of the knowledge 

 of Swedish plant lice, their external anatomy and general classification are 

 discussed. The classification and biology of the species of Pemphigiufe studied 

 are then taken up under the 6 tribes into which the subfamily is divided. 

 Yacunini is represented by 2 species, Hormaphidini by 1 species. Miudarini by 

 1 species, Pemphigiui by 14 species (of which 4 are described as new), 

 Schizoneurini by 4 species, and Anoeciini by 1 species. 



Coccidse of Japan, III. First supplemental list of Japanese Coccidae, or 

 scale insects, with description of eight new species, S. I. Kuwana {Jour. 

 N. Y. Ent. Soc, 11 (1909), No. J,, pp. 150-158, pis. 3).— In this paper are listed 

 18 species of Japanese Coccidte studied by the author, since the paper pre- 

 viously noted (E. S. R., 19, p. 1157) was published. Eight of these species, 

 representing the genera Asterolecanium, Lichtensia, Takahashia, Lecanium, 

 Chionaspis, and Mytilaspis, are described as new to science; two are new to 

 Japan, while the remaining species have been previously recorded from Japan 

 by various writers. 



Coccidae of Japan, IV. A list of Coccidae from the Bonin Islands (Ogasa- 

 warajima), Japan, S. I. Kuwana (Jour. N. Y. Ent. /Soc, 17 (1909), No. J/, pp. 

 158-16.), pis. 3). — An annotated list of 23 species collected in the Bonin Islands

The brown-tail moth: Its possible introduction into Ohio, N. E. Shaw 

 (Ohio Dcpt. Agr., Dlv. Nurscrg and Orchard Iiisi>. Bui. 10. pp. 23, flgs. 10). — 

 This is a general account of the brown-tail moth, wel)s of which with cater- 

 pillars have been entering Ohio on imported stock from France. The author 

 concludes that under the present system of inspection thex'e will be practically 

 no danger of this pest's being disseminated on Ohio nursery stock should the 

 insect become established in the field. 



The larger corn stalk-borer, G. G. Ainslie (TJ. 8. Dept. Agr., Bur. Ent. 

 Circ. 116, pp. 8, figs. .'/). — This circular, which is practically a revision of Cir- 

 cular 16, gives an account of Diatrcca saccharalis, the nature of its injury, 

 life history, habits, and natural checks and preventive measures. Rotation has 

 been found to be one of the best general preventive measures. "Another 

 remedy, probably the best for this insect, is the thorough destruction, some 

 time before the period of emergence of the moths in the spring, of all the 

 stalks and stubble remaining in the field from the preceding crop,"
