Gillette (C. P.). Seventh Annual Report of the State Entomologist 

 of Colorado for the Year 1915. — Office of the State Entomologist, 

 Fort Collins, Circ. no. 19, June 1916, 43 pp., 11 tables. [Received 

 25th April 1917.] 



This report, which includes those of the various county horticultural 

 inspectors, records a number of insects pests, biit gives no scientific 

 names. San Jose scale [Aspidiotus peniiciosus] has spread somewhat 

 through the State, but the infestations are for the most part light, while 

 in two localities it appears to have been eradicated. The fruit-tree leaf- 

 roller [Cacoecia arggrospila] was kept under control until 1913 by the 

 use of miscible oil sprays, but, OAnng to negligence, it has again become 

 a serious pest. Infestations of rosy apple aphis [Aphis malifoliae] 

 were recorded in several counties ; it is a comparatively ' new pest. 

 The codling moth [Cydiu pomonelki] is probably the most serious pest 

 in the State ; o^^^ng to the lack of fruit in some of the worst infested 

 areas, little attention has been paid to it and it is hoped that this 

 scarcity of fruit will have held it in check. Two serious infestations 

 of pear-leaf blister-mite [Eriophyes pyri] occurred on apple. Shade- 

 trees were infested by the locust borer [Cyllene robiniae), which is 

 spreading rapidly. The shipping of black locust trees {Robinia pseuda- 

 cacia) outside the immediate neighbourhood of the infested district 

 has been forbidden. All infested trees should be destroyed and no 

 more planted until the pest has been eradicated.

Perisierola emigrata was first noticed in the Hawaiian Islands in 

 1912, probably having been introduced from Texas in 1910 in an 

 attempt to establish a parasite of the beetle larvae which are injurious 

 to the pods of algaroba {Prosopis julijlora) used as cattle fodder. In
