1911 ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 101 



OCCURRING ON THE BARK. 

 Order Homoptera. 



132. Lachmts dentatus LeB. Specimens of apterous females, depositing eggs 

 on basswood were shown at the annual meeting of this Society, at Guelph, on 31 

 Oct., and 1 Nov., 1907, by Dr. Bethnne and Mr. Jarvis. This is probably the 

 species which I found on the same tree at Ottawa a few years previously. In 

 Packard's Forest Insects, the insect is mentioned as having been found on the 

 branches of willow and also on small nursery apple trees. 



133'. Pulvinaria vitis Linn. This species is recorded from Western Ontario as 

 occurring on Tilia americana, (Jarvis, Rep. Ent. Soc. 1907, p. 51). In Mrs. Fer- 

 nald's Catalogue of the Coccid^e of the World the only food plant mentioned is 

 grape vine. 



134 ToumcyeJla liriodendri (Gmel.) Ottawa, (Jarvis, Rep. Ent. Soc. Ont., 

 1907, p. 51). 



135. Aspidiotiis a-sculi Johns. Mr. Jarvis records this scale insect as infest- 

 ing basswood at Toronto, Brantford and Guelph (Rep. Ent. Soc, 1907, p. 51). In 

 Mrs. Fernald's Catalogue ^sculns calif ornica is mentioned as the food. plant and 

 the habitat given as California. 



136. Aspidiotus diffinis Newst. Mrs. Fernald records this species as occur- 

 ring on basswood as well also as on lilac. Jarvis lists the species from basswood, 

 from Guilds, Ont. (Rep. Ent. Soc. Ont., 1907, p. 51). 



13'7. Aspidiotus juglans-regiw Comst. 



138. Aspidiotus ulmi John. 



In April, 1907, Mr. J. Fred. Smith, late Provincial San Jose Scale Inspector, 

 sent to the Division at Ottawa some basswood heavily infested with scale insects. 

 The wood was taken from a tree near Beamsville, Ont. The material was sent to 

 Dt. Howard., at Washington, and was reported upon by Mr. Marlatt as follows: 

 "The scale insects on basswood from Mr. J. F. Smith are of two species, viz. 

 Aspidiotus juglans-regia' Comst. and Aspidiotus ulmi Johnson." A. juglans- 

 regid' has a wide range of food plants. Mrs. Fernald mentions walnut, apricot, 

 ap])le, pear, peach, cherry, Japan plum, locust and maple. A. ulmi is recorded 

 from elm, catalpa and Cycas revohita. 



THE ENTOMOLOGICAL RECORD FOR 1910. 

 Arthur Gibsox^ Ottawa. 



The season of 1910 in Canada was, on the whole, a most favorable one for the 

 collection of insects. Reports from many widely separated localities refer to the 

 remarkably fine and dry Aveather. In the east, the season was much drier than 

 that of 1909. From the many interesting records sent in, the year, too, has been 

 an improvement with re.jjard to the number of rarer forms which have been col- 

 lected. As yet, of course, much material gathered in 1910, still remains to be 

 worked up. As this is done a mention of the more interesting species, it is 

 hoped, will be made in future issues of the Record. In the present Record are in- 

 cluded notes on a number of rarer forms collected in other years, but only studied 

 in 1910. 



The compiler of the Record is exceedingly grateful to his many friends who 

 have either helped him by sending in records for the " Notes of Captures ", or in 

 giving assistance in the identification of doubtful species.
