PARASITES. 
Two hymenopterous parasites were reared from the larve of 
Etiella zinckenella schisticolor during the investigations at Pullman, 
Wash., viz, Pseudapanteles etielle Vier. and Microbracon hyslopi Vier. 
Dr. F. H. Chittenden ' records having reared Bracon sp. (deter- 
mined by Viereck) from Etiella schisticolor on October 19, 1908, at 
Santa Ana, Cal., and Mr. C. L. Marlatt * records rearing a braconid 
from the larva of this moth at Nuecestown, Tex., on May 13, 1896. 
REMEDIAL AND PREVENTIVE MEASURES. 
The legume pod moth is readily controlled by preventive measures, 
and for this reason there have been no experiments with remedies. 
The transportation of the hibernating forms in sacks of seed, and the 
consequent dissemination of the pest, may be prevented by fumiga- 
tion of the seed with carbon bisulphid. 
Owing to the presence of the native lupines, extermination of the 
pest is impossible, but by planting such early varieties of field peas as 
come into full bloom before the last week in June it may be practically . 
eliminated as a factor to be dealt with in seed growing in the Pacific 
Northwest. The date of planting, however, will vary in different 
localities and under different conditions.
