Wheat and barley grown on the experimental field were attacked in 

 May by On« {Tapinostola) musculosa,lIh., the caterpillars of which 

 were found up to the second half of June, when they entered the earth 

 and pupated, the adults appearing after the end of that month. Later 

 on, in June, the crops suffered from Anisoplia austriaca, Hbst. Maize 

 was injured by Pentodon idiota, Hbst., and Euxoa {Agrotis) segetum, 

 Schiff. The adult beetles of P. idiota gnaw a deep hollow in the stem, 

 just underneath the surface of the soil, while the caterpillars of 

 E. segetum attack the stem somewhat higher up.
