Wilson (H. F.). Three New Lachnids with Comparative Notes on 

 Three Others (Homop.). — Entom. News, Philadelphia, xxx, no. 1, 

 January 1919, pp. 1-7, 2 plates. 



The new Aphids described in this paper are EssigeUa pini, taken 

 on Pinus virginiana in Maryland. Eulachnus thunbergii, collected on 

 twigs of Sciadopytis verticillata and Pinus thunbergii at Tokyo, Japan, 

 and Lachnus juniperivora on Juniperinus virginiana in Maryland. 



A new genus TJniladhnv." m erected with Lachnus parvus, Wilson, 

 as the geno-tj^e. This >* pkid occurs on the needles of Pinus mrginiana

Becker (G. G.). A One Year Life Cycle for Saperda Candida, F„ reared 

 in an Apple. (Col.). — Entom. News, Philadelphia, xxx, no. 1, 

 January 1919, p. 24. 



An attempt to rear two larvae of Saperda Candida in the fruit of 

 apple was made with larvae hatching from eggs deposited in apple 

 during 1917. During their development they were fed on fmits in 

 all stages ranging from young green fruits to old and rotten ones, 

 and it was probably this factor which .caused the death of one indi- 

 vidual at the time of pupation and lengthened the life-cycle of the 

 other beetle to a full year.
