REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1902 105 
severe as last year. The hard maples at Annandale, Dutchess co., 
suffered to some extent from the work of this pest; and, while 
the species was reported as being rare at Newport, Herkimer co., 
it was extremely abundant at Gravesville, only 7 miles north. 
A little damage by this insect was reported from Tompkins 
county. This record is somewhat different from that of last year 
and decidedly so from the one for 1900. 
Bud moth, Tmetocera ocellana Schiff. This little insect 
appears to be on the increase in Genesee county according to 
the statements of Mr J. F. Rose, of South Byron, who considers 
it one of the worst pests of the orchard in that section of the coun- 
try. The most dangerous feature in connection with this insect 
is the occurrence of the hungry, voracious, partly grown larvae 
on trees when the young foliage is developing, and when a small 
amount of feeding will produce a relatively large amount of dam- 
age. It can be controlled, as has been repeatedly demonstrated, 
by thorough spraying with an arsenical poison just as the buds 
are unfolding. 
Apple leaf Bucculatrix, Bucculatrix pomifoliella Clem. 
This is a well known enemy of the apple in the western part of 
the State at least and 
is occasionally exceed- 
ingly abundant. Mr L. L. 
Woodford, of Berwyn N. Y., 
has recently called our at- 
tention to 150 trees which 
were very badly infested 
with this insect. Examples 
of the twigs accompanying 
his communication were

nearly covered in places pomifoliella; a, piece of twig covered with 
maith We PHaaerOninhic cocoons; b, cocoon enlarged; c, the moth, enlarged 
whiie or yeliowish cocoons. The general appearance of the 
insect is represented in the accompanying figure. It may be con- 
trolled by thorough spraying in early June with an arsenical 
poison.

Raspberry cane maggot, Phorbia rubivora Cog. This 
species has been noticed from time to time on account of its
