INSECT NOTES FOR 1910.* 



O. A. Johannse;n. 



Following the custom of former years, notes of a miscella- 

 neous character comprising new observations, new locality refer- 

 ences, etc. of insects taken by us or sent in during the season 

 are given here. Compilations and remedial measures are both 

 avoided, and the statements are often the mere transferral of 

 notes from the Station records. Insect notes of more popular 

 character are given in more detail in other bulletins and circu- 

 lars issued by the Station. The lot numbers quoted are refer- 

 ences to our Station records, inserted for our own convenience. 

 The parts on the Aphididce and Psyllidce were written by Miss 

 Edith M. Patch, to whom the new species must be credited. 



LEPIDOPTERA. 



As usual by far the largest number of species concerning 

 which complaints are made and also sent to the Station for 

 identification this year, belong to this order. Those most fre- 

 quently sent in were Anisota rubicunda, Diacrisia virginica, 

 Hyphantria cunca, Btiproctis chrysorrhoca, and Tmetocera occl- 

 lana. The following species are noted here primarily for the 

 locality or food plant records.
