   on

  Aspidiotus 
  tsugae 
  was 
  imported 
  in 
  Japanese 
  hemlock 
  into 
  New 
  

   Jersey 
  in 
  1910. 
  It 
  was 
  believed 
  that 
  the 
  pest 
  had 
  been 
  entirely 
  

   stamped 
  out. 
  but 
  the 
  appearance 
  of 
  a 
  few 
  scales 
  in 
  1914, 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  

   locality 
  as 
  that 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  original 
  discovery 
  had 
  taken 
  place, 
  shows 
  

   that 
  the 
  scale 
  has 
  gained 
  a 
  shght 
  foothold. 
  Further 
  steps 
  are 
  being 
  

   taken 
  to 
  stamp 
  out 
  the 
  pest. 
  Agrilus 
  sinuatus, 
  a 
  Buprestid 
  imported 
  

   in 
  1894, 
  probably 
  from 
  France, 
  is 
  holding 
  its 
  own 
  in 
  New 
  Jersey, 
  

   although 
  it 
  has 
  ceased 
  to 
  be 
  destructive. 
  Kaliosysphinga 
  dohrnii 
  was 
  

   first 
  noticed 
  in 
  New 
  Jersey 
  in 
  1913, 
  where 
  it 
  had 
  infested 
  alder 
  trees 
  

   so 
  badly 
  that 
  they 
  were 
  almost 
  completely 
  defoliated.

  While 
  examining 
  some 
  old 
  bands 
  for 
  codHng 
  moth 
  larvae 
  in 
  an 
  

   orchard 
  near 
  Mesilla 
  Park, 
  N.M., 
  in 
  1912, 
  the 
  author 
  found 
  a 
  coleop- 
  

   terous 
  larva 
  in 
  the 
  cocoon 
  of 
  a 
  codling 
  moth, 
  the 
  host 
  caterpillar 
  having 
  

   been 
  partially 
  eaten. 
  The 
  predaceous 
  larva 
  was 
  placed 
  in 
  a 
  jar 
  Avith 
  

   some 
  earth 
  and 
  a 
  few 
  codhng 
  moth 
  larvae. 
  In 
  the 
  spring 
  it 
  was 
  found 
  

   in 
  the 
  cocoon 
  of 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  moths. 
  The 
  insect 
  was 
  a 
  species 
  of 
  Clerid, 
  

   but 
  no 
  specific 
  identification 
  was 
  made. 
  It 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  quite 
  common 
  

   in 
  New^ 
  Mexico.

  Caged 
  larvae 
  of 
  the 
  Lymantriid 
  moth, 
  Hemerocampa 
  leucostigma, 
  are 
  

   described 
  as 
  girdHng 
  elm 
  twigs. 
  In 
  May 
  1913, 
  a 
  tvng 
  of 
  new 
  growth 
  

   was 
  found 
  eaten 
  into 
  for 
  about 
  7 
  mm. 
  in 
  length 
  and 
  more 
  deeply 
  at 
  

   the 
  base, 
  so 
  that 
  it 
  was 
  just 
  hanging 
  by 
  the 
  bark 
  of 
  the 
  lower 
  side. 
  A 
  

   few 
  davs 
  later 
  several 
  more 
  twigs 
  had 
  suffered 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  way, 
  some 
  

   being 
  entirely 
  cut 
  off, 
  and 
  others 
  only 
  partially 
  eaten. 
  In 
  all 
  cases 
  

   only 
  new 
  wood 
  was 
  affected. 
  The 
  habit 
  has 
  not 
  been 
  observed 
  in 
  the 
  

   open.
