REPORT OP THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1902 151 



[Doryphora 10-lineata Say] have not been so abundant 

 as in former years, which is probably due to the cooler season. 

 Plum curculios [Conotrachelus nenuphar Herbst.] are 

 plenty, but not so prevalent as during some seasons. July 12. 



Schoharie county (John F. Johnson, Breakabeen) — Currant 

 worms [Pteronus ribesii Scop.] appeared May 20 and are 

 quite abundant and destructive. The grubs of the May or June 

 beetle are also numerous and somewhat injurious. No forest 

 tent caterpillars [Clisiocampa disstria Hubn.] have 

 been observed this season, and those belonging to the appletree 

 species [Clisiocampa americana Fabr.] are spinning 

 their cocoons. May. 30. Colorado potato beetles [Doryphora 

 10-lineata Say] appeared about June 1 and are quite abun- 

 dant. A very few forest tent caterpillars were observed and 

 they are now spinning their cocoons. June 15. 



Suffolk county (Alexander Mair, Oakdale) — There are very 

 few Colorado potato beetles [Doryphora 10-1 i n e a t a Say] 

 in Suffolk county this year. Locusts [? Cicada septen- 

 decim Linn.] are abundant, but appear to be doing no special 

 injury. The San Jose" scale [Aspidiotus perniciosus 

 Comst.] is very bad in this section, and comparatively little is 

 being done toward its control. There are too many remedies and 

 faith in none. June 23. 



Tompkins county (C. E. Chapman, Peruville) — Forest tent 

 caterpillars. [Clisiocampa disstria Hubn.] have damaged 

 a few maple and apple trees. The striped cucumber beetle 

 [Diabrotica vittata Fabr.] is present in marked numbers, 

 and the Colorado potato beetles [Doryphora 10-1 i n e a t a 

 Say] are scarce for this time of year. Flea beetles [? Epitrix 

 cucumeris Harris] are very abundant, completely riddling 

 potatoes, red raspberries and other foliage. June 30. Cabbage 

 worms [Pieris rapae Linn.] are abundant and easily killed 

 with paris green and water. Potato beetles are not numerous, 

 though white grubs are plenty in potato fields and newly set 

 strawberry beds. There is an abundance of young grasshoppers. 

 July 30. 



Ulster county (George S. Clark, Milton) — Some plant lice 

 [?Myzus cerasi Fabr.] have appeared on cherry trees and the 

 appletree tent caterpillar [Clisiocampa americana Fabr.]
