concerned is distinct from S. hortensis, but has not yet been identified. 

 This pest has been observed on a great variety of garden crops and 

 large numbers were found feeding on the egg-masses of L. lO-lineata, 

 Say. Zinc arsenite, apphed at the rate of 2 lb. to 50 gals, of water 

 to seedling cucumbers, proved a successful control in the spring of 

 1913. Lead arsenate, 3 to 4 lb. in 50 gals, water, should also prove 

 effective.

 Borer in Ohio. — Jl. Econ. Entom., Concord, vii, no. 5, October 

 1914, pp. 401-403. 



The results of observations on the life-history of Aegeria (Synan- 

 thedon) pictipes, G. and R., made in the lake district of N. Ohio, are 

 given. The first moths from hibernating larvae appeared in May 

 1913, the numbers gradually increasing and reaching a maximum in 

 mid- June, when they declined until early August. This was followed 

 by another period of increase during August, at the same time that 

 Sanninoidea reached its maximum in this district. Details are given 

 ^f the larval development and the life-cycle, there being one full brood 

 and a partial second one in the year.

pp. 403-404. 



Eupachylomma {Wesmaelia) rileyi, Ashm., is stated to have been 



described from specimens obtained by the author at Oxford, Ind., 



in July 1884, in cages containing growing wheat and to have been 



undoubtedly reared from Toxoptera gramiman, but has not again 



appeared in any further experiments with that species.

 Entom., Concord, vii, no. 5, October 1914, pp. 404-405. 

 A new Aphid parasite, Leucopis fiavicornis, sp. n., reared from a 

 colony of Pemphigus, probably P. fraxinifolii, taken from Fraxinus 

 leaves, 10th May 1910, is described.

 Entom., Concord, vii, no. 5, October 1914, p. 405. 

 Large numbers of moths are recorded as having appeared around the 

 electric lights in Boulder, Colorado, on 21st September 1914, about 

 90 per cent, of which were Chloridea obsoleta, ¥., the remainder being 

 Alabama argiUacea, Hb., and one specimen of Erinnyis ello, L. These 

 must have come at least 500 miles, and were doubtless migrating.

In this list, 89 species are recorded with their food-plants and the 



localities in which they were taken. The new genus, Tavaresiella, 



Del Guercio, is figured and described at length.
