The Tingitid, Stephanitis azaleae, Horv., was found in considerable 

 numbers on Azalea aynaena var. hinodegiri in several localities in New 

 Jersey in the summer of 1915. Most of the infested plants had been 

 imported from Japan.

The only known case of local injury to the bark of healthy tree 

 trunks by the hibernation galleries of a bark beetle is that of the ash, 

 the species responsible being Hylesinus (Leperisinus) fraxini, Panz. 

 Forest entomologists appear to have overlooked the fact that the 

 smaller related species, Pteleobius vittatus, ¥., also bores hibernation 

 galleries (i.e. galleries in which breeding does not take place) in the bark 

 of healthy elms and that this injury causes similar, though smaller, 

 gaUs. The excrescence is caused by the beetle injury, followed by 

 the expansion due to the growth of the trunk. The galleries are 

 exceedingly short both in the case of P. vittatus and H. fraxini, and lead 

 to the supposition that the beetle feeds on the oozing sap and perhaps 

 also on fungi growing on the sap and not on the bore material or frass.
