  The

  CoLEOPTERA 
  : 
  The 
  sprouts 
  of 
  lucerne 
  are 
  injured 
  by 
  larvae 
  of 
  

   Lejptosonyx 
  typhoides, 
  Dalm., 
  a 
  Chrysomelid. 
  An 
  outbreak 
  occurred 
  

   in 
  the 
  government 
  of 
  Astrachan 
  in 
  1912, 
  where 
  the 
  larvae 
  also 
  damaged 
  

   vetches, 
  lentils 
  and 
  wild 
  steppe 
  plants. 
  The 
  insect 
  is 
  known 
  only 
  

   from 
  South 
  Russia 
  and 
  has 
  been 
  very 
  little 
  studied. 
  Plagionotus 
  

   (Clytus) 
  floralis, 
  Pall., 
  this 
  Longicorn 
  has 
  been 
  recorded 
  by 
  Paczoski 
  

   as 
  a 
  pest 
  of 
  lucerne 
  in 
  some 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  government 
  of 
  Taurida. 
  

   Hyjpera 
  (Phytonomus) 
  denominanda, 
  Cap., 
  although 
  known 
  in 
  Austria- 
  

   Hungary, 
  Germany, 
  Turkey 
  and 
  Caucasia, 
  is 
  not 
  reported 
  as 
  injurious, 
  

   but 
  according 
  to 
  Demokidov 
  it 
  injures 
  the 
  leaves 
  of 
  lucerne 
  in 
  Turkestan 
  

   (1906). 
  The 
  following 
  information 
  is 
  supplied 
  by 
  this 
  author 
  : 
  the 
  

   weevils 
  mnter 
  on 
  the 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  earth 
  among 
  the 
  upper 
  roots 
  of 
  

   lucerne 
  or 
  under 
  dry 
  grass 
  ; 
  early 
  in 
  spring 
  they 
  feed 
  on 
  the 
  leaves 
  

   and 
  oviposit 
  on 
  the 
  plant 
  ; 
  the 
  larva 
  gnaws 
  long 
  holes 
  in 
  the 
  leaves 
  

   and 
  after 
  3-4 
  weeks 
  pupates 
  on 
  a 
  folded 
  leaf 
  in 
  a 
  white 
  transparent 
  

   cocoon 
  ; 
  in 
  about 
  4-5 
  days 
  the 
  beetle 
  emerges, 
  and 
  lives 
  for 
  some 
  time 
  

   on 
  the 
  lucerne 
  before 
  hibernating. 
  Calosoma 
  and 
  its 
  larvae 
  and 
  some 
  

   parasites 
  are 
  mentioned 
  as 
  enemies 
  of 
  this 
  pest. 
  The 
  following 
  

   remedies 
  are 
  suggested 
  : 
  spraying 
  in 
  spring 
  with 
  Schweinfurt 
  green 
  

   (4*8 
  — 
  6 
  drams 
  of 
  green 
  and 
  double 
  this 
  amount 
  of 
  freshly 
  slacked 
  lime 
  

   in 
  about 
  2 
  '7 
  gallons 
  of 
  water), 
  or 
  with 
  barium 
  chloride 
  (4'5 
  — 
  7 
  oz. 
  

   in 
  2*7 
  gallons 
  of 
  water) 
  ; 
  dusting 
  with 
  a 
  powder 
  of 
  freshly 
  slacked 
  

   lime 
  (after 
  rain 
  or 
  dew) 
  by 
  means 
  of 
  " 
  Torpille 
  " 
  bellows 
  ; 
  and 
  the 
  early 
  

   cutting 
  of 
  lucerne 
  as 
  a 
  means 
  of 
  destroying 
  the 
  larvae 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  the 
  

  

  eggs. 
  

  

  HoMOPTERA 
  : 
  Acocephalus

  in 
  1913. 
  

  

  Lepidoptera 
  : 
  — 
  Chloridea 
  obsoleta, 
  F., 
  was 
  reported 
  in 
  1911 
  from 
  

   Turkestan, 
  where 
  its 
  caterpillars 
  injured 
  the 
  leaves 
  of 
  lucerne, 
  cotton 
  

   seeds, 
  maize, 
  and 
  tomatoes.

  Turkestan. 
  In

  cater- 
  

   pillars 
  of 
  this 
  pest 
  appeared 
  in 
  the 
  government 
  of 
  Astrachan 
  on 
  lucerne, 
  

   but 
  they 
  were 
  not 
  noticed 
  again 
  in 
  1912. 
  Eubolia 
  arenacearia,
