other cucurbits, and is not likely to be 

 confused with any other species occur- 

 ring habitually on the same class of 

 plants. It is, indeed, a most important 

 pest, and, taken season after season, the 

 worst aphis occurring in this country. 

 It is generally distributed throughout 

 the United States, but does more injury 

 in the southwest than elsewhere. In 

 Texas, Kansas and Nebraska it is par- 

 ticularly troublesome to melons, and in 

 the last two states to cucumbers. 



There is perhaps no better example, 

 among insects, of a common and wide- 

 spread species being held in abeyance 

 and limited to innoxious numbers (save 

 in exceptional seasons) by natural ene- 

 mies than the melon aphis. The useful- 

 ness of these natural enemies, of which 

 a large number have been recorded, in 

 subduing the aphides cannot be over- 

 estimated. Garden and field aphides gen- 

 erally are subject to attack by the same 

 classes of parasitic and predaceous ene- 

 mies. The number of species of insects 

 known to prey upon the melon aphis is 

 about thirty-five. The list includes many 

 ladybirds or ladybugs. The value of 

 these natural enemies against aphides is 

 such that entomologists frequently ad- 

 vise the employment of remedies only 

 when the enemies are not present in 

 abundance. 



The severe losses occasioned by the 

 melon aphis in its seasons of greatest 

 destructiveness could be largely miti- 

 gated and in many cases almost entirely 

 prevented if the employment of methods 

 for its control were begun upon the in- 

 sect's first appearance.

All things considered, the most satis- 

 factory way of controlling this insect is 

 by fumigation. As an aid, however, 

 cultural methods are necessary. In the 

 south spraying with kerosene and other 

 emulsions is preferred to the bisulphid 

 of carbon method, and tobacco is now 

 much used, especially in Texas.
