B.C. ENTOMOLOCilCAL SOCIETY. 



The CuRK.\KT-APUis (3Iijzus rihis). / 



This pest is general aud of eonsiclerable importance. 

 The Flea-Beetlk {Epitrix siihcrinafa). 



General and doing considerable injnry to tomatoes and potatoes, both directly 

 aud indirectly. 



The Plum-sphinx (Uyloicus ilrupiferum). 



General; the larviB sometimes found stripping young apple-trees. 



The Ciierby-tree Tortrix ob "L'gly Nest (Arcliips cenisiroraiia). 



General ; very abundant on choke-cherries in the Vernon District this year. 



The FEUiT-TiiEK Leaf-roller (Arcliips arrjiirospila). 



General; fairly numerous in both Kelowna and Vernon this year. 



The Glick-beetles. 



Quite a number of species of the Elaters are general throughout the valley, aud 

 doing considerable damage by feeding on the buds and opening leaves of young 

 apple-trees — Corymhites inflatus being probably the most prominent. Cardiophoriis 

 feitestratus has so far only been reported from Shorts Point by Mr. W. H. Brittaiu 

 as injuring young trees. 



The SPsrcE Gall-loui3e {Chcrtiies sp.). 



Is noticeable in all districts and frequently does considerable injury to orna- 

 mental spruce-trees. 



The-Apple-leaf Hoppeb (Empoasca maJi). 



This pest is very abimdant throughout the valley; their work on the leaves and 

 their egg-punctures on the young wood is vi'ry imlii-cablc rvcrywhere. Some efforts 

 seem to be made to control this pest, but in iih'sI cisi's the spray is applied at the 

 wrong time; the only time spraying is ellVctive is if the spray is applied when the 

 hoppers are still in the nymph stage; spraying at other times is a waste of time 

 and good material. 



The TicNT-CATEEriLLAR (llalaro.toma plKrialis). 



General, but not so abundant as usual this year. 



The Peak-slltg (Eriocainpoidcs li)iiaeina Retz). 



General, but not so abundant as in other years. It is strange that a pest so 

 easily controlled is so generally neglected year after year. 



The Lesser Apple-worm (Enannonia prunivora Walsh). 



This little pest is general, but appears to be kept well in check. 



The Fall Web-wokm (Hypantria cunca). 



General ; fairly abundant again this year on both apple-trees and wild shrub, 

 particularly in the Vernon District. 



The Strawberrv-root Weevel (Otiorlnjiiclius oidtim). 



Though present generally, do^s not ,i|ipini' in lie in sufficient numbers to do a 

 great deal of harm. Grand Forks, in the P.dund.iiy District, has some quite serious 

 local infestations. 



The Rose-leaf Hopper (Typlilocyha rosw). 



Abundant on both the wild and cultivated roses throughout the valley. 

 The Onion-thkip (Thrips tabaci). 



General, and quite serious, particularly in Kelowna this year.
