POTATO FLEA 13EETLE. 



LIST OF IXSECTS RECORDED ON POTATO. 



Edith M. Patch. 



This list was compiled from various sources as a part of the 

 General Insect Catalogue used at the Maine Agricultural Ex- 

 periment Station and the fact that it has proven useful in manu- 

 script is the only excuse offered for its publication. It is a 

 working list and doubtless incomplete. Additions or corrections 

 from anyone kind enough to make them would be appreciated. 

 The references are to accounts where the potato is recorded as 

 a food plant.
