REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1901 797 
stroyed by the common stink or squash bug [Anasa tris- 
tis]. The apples are much infested with codling moth larvae 
[Carpocapsa pomonella]. Potato beetles are very 
abundant. Aug. 20. 
Ulster county (George 8S. Clark, Milton)—Currant worms 
[(Pteronus ribesii] were first observed May 7, and only 
a few are to be found at the present date. Appletree tent-cater- 
Pillars [Clisiocampa americana] were first seen 
about May 1, and in sections where they were kept under con- 
trol last year, there are only a few, but in other places they are 
doing considerable damage. May 16. Cherry aphis [Myzus 
cerasi]| is rather abundant on cherrytrees. May beetles are 
present in some numbers and are cutting the leaves of trees 
badly. May 31. Plant lice appear to be increasing slowly. 
Appletree tent-caterpillars are now wandering considerably. 
June 7. Cucumber flea beetles [Epitrix cucumeris] 
are at work on tomato and potato vines, injuring them consider- 
ably. Some trees in this section have been entirely defoliated 
by tent-caterpillars, but this is exceptional. June 14. Cherry 
plant lice are quite injurious to young trees. June 21. There 
are very few currant worms in the second brood. The potato 
beetles [Doryphora 10-lineata] are easily controlled. 
June 28. The lightning leaf-hopper [Ormenis pruinosa|] 
is quite abundant in a pear and currant plantation, being so 
numerous as to partly cover many of the twigs with thei cot- 
tony secretion. It is not an injurious species as arule. July 11. 
Warren county (ce: L. Williams, Glens Falls)—Forest tent- 
caterpillars [Clisiocampa disstria] are generally dis- 
tributed in this section, but they have not been numerous enough 
to cause much of any damage. The caterpillars of the white 
marked tussock moth [Notolophus leucostigma] are 
present in small numbers. July 5. 
Wayne county (C. H. Stuart, Newark)—I am sending you a 
worm found in quince seedlings which proved to be the larva 
of the leopard moth [Zeuzera pyrina]. June 30. The 
Hessian fly [Cecidomyia destructor] is even worse
