NOTES FROM NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA. 



By T. IX A. CocKERELL, East Lux Veya>t, N. Mex. 



Nothing especiall}" remarkal)le has occurred in the lield of economic 

 entomology during the past year or two in this part of the country, 

 but the following records are not without interest. 



COCCID^. 



ParJatoria hlanclardi (Targ.). — Professor Forbes (Johnson, Fumi- 

 gation Methods, p, 229) has recorded the fumigation of about 400 

 date-palm suckers infested with Parlatoria. He determined, experi- 

 mentally, that palms would stand a strong dose, and accordingly treated 

 all those received atTempe, Ariz., for the date-palm orchard of the Ari- 

 zona experiment station. In the spring* of the present xg'AV I inspected 

 all these palms and found that the Parlatoria had been totally destroyed. 

 Of course, there are parts of the palms which can not be examined 

 without pulling them to pieces, but I feel quite sure that the Parlatoria 

 would be in evidence upon the visible parts b}' this time if any had 

 survived. On one palm I found a small quantity of Pluenicococcus 

 marlatti^ Ckll., alive and healthy.
