Cacmcia rosaceana. This is a well-known enemy of all sorts of fruit 

 crops of the famil}' Rosacea", as well as of several other orders, and is 

 treated in most popular works on agricultural entomology. 



Specimens of pupa3 and adults of this species were received from 

 Mr. S. S. Wilson, Libonia, Pa., with the statement made in anaccom- 

 pan3nng letter dated May 3, 1898, that it was received by him in a 

 shipment of toscs from a firm in Ohio, and that, on examining the 

 roses, larva? and chrj'salides were found, and many of the leaves of 

 the plants were eaten awa3\ 



THE HOSE LEAB^-FOLDER. 



[Cacoecia rosaiia Linn.) 



This is an introduced species which attacks roses, l)ut is not, so far 

 as the writer is aware, particularly trou1>lesome, at least in green- 

 houses. It is very likel}' to become injurious, however, at any time. 

 It is figured and described as an enemy of currants by Messrs. Com- 

 stock and Slingerland (Bui. XXIII, Cornell Univ. Expt. Sta., pp. 

 119-121), and has been stated by Dr. Lugger to attack also the apple, 

 wild rose, raspberry, hazel, hawthoi-n, and gooseberry (Fourth Annl. 

 Rept. Entom. State Expt. Sta. Univ. Minn., 1899, p. 228). 



OTHER LEAF-ROLLERS. 



A short notice of injuries Iw the fruit-tree leaf -roller, 'Cacoecia 

 argyrosplla Walk., to the buds of roses in greenhouses was published 

 in insect Life (Vol. Ill, p. 19). 



To this list must still be added, as species that are known to attack 

 roses, and are hence likely at any time to invade the greenhouse and 

 assume the bud-destroying habit, several other Tortricids, among which 

 may be mentioned the grape-berry moth, Eudetnis hotrana Schifi'., 

 Platynota fiavedana Clem., Tortr'm alhlcouiaim Clem., Ceiwpsis j^ettl- 

 tancL Rob. , and retlculatana Clem., as also Lojylioderus trlferana Walk., 

 elsewhere noted as a violet insect. 



FULLER'S ROSE BEETLE. 



{Aramigus fnllcri Horn. ) 



Various greenhouse plants, and roses in particular, are often 

 severely injured and destroyed, unless remedial measures are adopted, 

 by a moderate-sized, obscure, brown or gra}' snout-l)eetle, commonly 

 known as Fuller's rose beetle, Aramiyus fuller! Horn. Prior to the 

 year IST-l this species does not appear to have been recognized; in 

 short, its technical description was not published until the Centennial 

 year. At a])out that time and soon afterwards, as well as at intervals 

 later, it has attracted considerable attention on account of its ravages
