PART II. PAPERS 



THE SUGAR-BEET ROOT-MAGGOTT {TETANOPS ALDRI- 

 CHI HENDEL), A NEW PEST OF SUGAR-BEETS' 



By I. M. Hawley 



During July, 1920, fly larvae were found destroying many fields of 

 sugar-beets near Amalga, Utah. Maggots collected at this time were 

 reared by H. J. Pack, and the flies were later determined as Tetanops 

 aldrichi Hendel of the family Ortalidae. The flies are about 6 mm. 

 in length, glossy black, with a smoky patch on the costal margin of the 

 wing about one-third of the distance from base to tip. Doctor Aldrich, 

 after whom the insect was named, informed the writer in correspondence 

 that flies of this species have been collected in the Province of Alberta,
