REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST IQI2 7° 
these insects drift with the wind and were probably carried from 
the seckels to the Kieffers by light breezes which would naturally 
sweep up the hill. 
A marked restriction, though not on such an extended scale, was 
likewise observed in an orchard at Coeymans Hollow and also in 
that of Mr William Albright about two and one-half miles from 
New Baltimore Station. In the latter instance injury was particu- 
larly marked in a hollow and extending part way up on a knoll, 
while those on the knoll and beyond were not seriously affected 
though the pest was to be found even there in small numbers. 
Description. The fruit growers will recognize this insect most 
easily by its operations as characterized above, nevertheless, for an 
accurate determination, especially in the case of outbreaks at a dis- 
tance from known infested areas, the microscopic characteristics of 
the adult must be recognized and on this account we reproduce below 
the excellent original description: 
Female. Length, 1.26 mm; width of mesothorax, .32 mm; general 
color, dark brown. Head about as long as broad; cheeks convexed ; 
anterior margin broad, acutely angular; back of head transversely 
wrinkled, and bearing a few minute spines. Eyes medium, black, 
with light borders rounded or oval in outline, coarsely faceted, hairy. 
Ocelli yellow, margined inwardly with reddish brown crescents, 
widely separated, posterior ones contiguous, with light borders 
around eyes; one very long slender spine on each side midway be- 
tween ocelli. Mouth cone pointed, tipped with black; maxillary 
palpi three-segmented. Antennae eight-segmented, approximate, 
slightly over twice the length of head. Length of segments: 33, 43; 
BS 2s se Oo, LO: Antennae brown, except segment 3, which 1s 
yellow. Spines pale, conspicuous, special sense organs on segments 
3 and 4. 
Prothorax longer and wider than head; bears many prominent 
spines, the one at each anterior angle, and the two at each posterior 
angle are longest. Color, yellow _brown: faintly cross-striated. 
Mesothorax approximately as wide as antennae are long; front 
angles obtusely rounded ; metanotal plate bears four spines close to 
front edge, middle pair equal in size and prominence to those at the 
angles of prothorax, the others are small; pterothorax yellow-brown, 
transversely wrinkled. 
Wings present, extending slightly beyond abdomen, about twelve 
times as long as wide, pointed at ends; surface of wings thickly 
covered withminute brown spines ; both longitudinal veins and costa 
of forewings thickly set with quite long, brown-colored spines, 
placed regularly on costa and hind vein; costa has from 29 to 33 
spines, forevein 12 to 15, and hind vein 15 to 16; veins not prom- 
inent ; costal fringe of forewings about twice as long as costal spines. 
Legs moderately long, scarcely thickened ; femora and all except
