Brochymena arborea Say ^ 



This is a stout, grayisli, rosy or red-marked tree bu^- aliout 5's inch in 

 k-iiMlh. It is remarkable for the serrate and an.t,adar i)rojections of the 

 pronotum and iht! hirge toothlike processes of the 

 head. W'c have taken this species at both Nassau 

 and Lansiui^^buri;^ X. ^'., in the former locality on or 

 near willows, and in the latter probably about growths 

 of miscellaneous bushes. .Mr Townsend gives its 

 distribution as the Atlantic States, while Professor 

 Osborn records it as common in Iowa. I)r .Smith 

 lists it from Statcn Island and a number of New Jersey 

 localities, stating that it is common about Caldwell. y.^ _^^ Rmchym.na »r-

This grotesque little 

 insect is a very common 

 species sometimes present 

 in considerable numbers. 

 It rarely inflicts much 

 injury on forest trees 

 and is important from an 

 economic aspect largely 

 on account of the dam- 

 age done to vounir fruit 

 trees.
