lands and feeds on a number of cultivated and native grasses. Its 

 occurrence on primrose at only a single locality in New Jersey prob- 

 ably indicates an accidental infestation due perhaps to the absence 

 of its favorite food plants. This species and its control have been 

 covered by Mr. E. H. Gibson in a recent Farmers' Bulletin (Bui. 

 737, U. S. D. A.). 



Thecodiplosis zauschneriae Felt. 



Rosette galls on the heads of several plants Were noted at Mon- 

 mouth Junction, N. J., on July lo and itonid larvee presumably of 

 this' species were taken from the bases of the leaves of the rosette, 

 eight in one head and five in another. In no other locality were 

 such rosette galls found. T. zanschneria: was described by Felt in 

 1912 (JouRN. N. Y./Ent, Soc, 20: 146-56). 



Plant Lice. 



According to the '' Food Plant Catalogue of Aphididse of World," 

 Part V, by Dr. Edith M. Patch (Me. Ag. Exp. Sta. Bui. 270, 1918) 

 the following species are listed under CEnothera biennis L. 



Aphis gossypii Glover. 

 Aphis cenotherce Oestlund. 

 Myzus biennis Sanborn. 

 Myzus cenotherce Williams. 

 Pemphigus cenotherce Williams. 

 Siphonophora sp. Williams. 



In New Jersey we have noted Aphis ocnotherce Oest, (det. Dr. C. 

 P. Gillette and L. C. Bragg) early in the season in large numbers 

 on primrose leaves and stems. Later in the' season MacrosipJium 

 gaiircs Will. (det. C. P. Gillette and L. C. Bragg) occurred abundantly 

 on the stems and green seed pods. At Riverton, N. J., July 2, 

 Paragus tibialis was bred from larvae feeding on plant lice infesting 

 ■ primrose. A number of lady-bird beetles were noted in connection 

 with aphis infestations and these are treated under the list of 

 Coleoptera. 



Miscellaneous Species Found on Evening Primroses. 



Unless otherwise noted the insects named in the following lists 



were taken on the foliage of evening primrose. The few records 



from outside sources are followed by the references. It is realized 



of course that many of the species mentioned have no direct asso-
