H. brevicauda from a Scymnine larva associated with Orfhezia sp. on 

 HymenocJea monogijro in Mexico ; and H. hyperaspidis, from Hyper- 

 aspis undulata, Say, in Utah and California. 



A new genus, Anisotyhis, is erected with A. {Homalotylus) similis as 

 the type, and A. similis fexanus, subsp. n., from Hyperaspis bigetninata, 

 Eand, and an undetermined Coccinellid larva in Texas, and A. similisr 

 utahensis, subsp. n., from Scymnns americanus, Muls., and *S. lacustris^ 

 Lee, in Utah are described. 



The species of the genus Isodromiis all parasitise Chrysopid larvae,^ 

 and at least two of them, /. iceryoe, How., and /. niyer, Ashm., are also 

 known to attack Hemerobiids in the United States. 



BretJiesia latifrons, gen. et sp. n., was reared from material of Icerya 

 purchasi, Mask., in Argentina. The actual host was probably a 

 Chrysopid or Hemerobiid predaceous on this scale.

A brief and popular account is given of the most common pests 

 of Quebec, arranged under the headings of crops attacked. The usual 

 remedial measures are described and formulae for various insecticides 

 and fungicides are given. The text of the law of 1914 for the protection 

 of plants against noxious insects and diseases is appended. This 

 includes the prohibition during blossoming of the use of poison-sprays 

 that are toxic to bees.

 [Received 14th October 1919.] 



During nursery inspections in the year ended 30th June 1917, few 

 insect attacks of importance were observed. Erlosoma {Schizoneura) 

 lanigerum (woolly apple aphis) occurred abundantly in a few localities 

 and threatened to become unusually plentiful in the following summer. 

 Great efforts have been made to keep the Province free from invasion 

 by Nygmia phaeorrhoea, Don. {Euproctis chrysorroea, L.) (brown-tail 

 moth) which causes such ravages in the United States. Each year 

 thousands of parasitic and predaceous insects are liberated along the 

 frontier, thus forming a natural barrier between the infested and 

 non-infested regions. A severe infestation of Agrotis {Noctua)fennica, 

 Tausch., occurred in one locality, all vegetation within an area of 

 about 15 acres being devoured by this cutworm.
