CLINODIPLOSIS EQUESTRIS (Wagner) ; AN INSECT 

 NEW TO GREAT BRITAIN. 



By Fred Enock, F.L.S. 



It is with feelings of anything but pleasure that I record the 

 appearance of this wheat " pest" in Great Britain. On August 

 18th, 1908, Mr. George E. Mainland, F.R.M.S., of Tenby, sent 



Wheat-stalk, showing^larvae in situ, and damage between each joint and to the ear. 



to me a box of wheat-stalks taken from a field in that neigh- 

 bourhood. Between each joint, underneath the leaf- sheath, were 

 from fix to nine apodous larvae of a bright red colour, resting in 

 a curled position, each in a cavity in the stalk three-sixteenths
