  The 
  Chrysomehd 
  beetle, 
  Galerucella 
  luteola, 
  F., 
  is 
  distributed 
  

   throughout 
  Europe, 
  Algeria 
  and 
  the 
  United 
  States. 
  Both 
  larva 
  

   and 
  adult 
  attack 
  the 
  fohage 
  of 
  the 
  common 
  elm, 
  Ulmus 
  campestris, 
  

   and 
  often 
  do 
  considerable 
  damage. 
  Observations 
  made 
  in 
  the 
  neigh- 
  

   bourhood 
  of 
  Toulouse, 
  show 
  that 
  in 
  that 
  region 
  the 
  period 
  of 
  

   reproduction 
  begins 
  in 
  May 
  and 
  lasts 
  until 
  the 
  beginning 
  of 
  July, 
  

   females 
  in 
  captivity 
  laying 
  as 
  many 
  as 
  500 
  eggs. 
  In 
  nature 
  the 
  eggs 
  

   are 
  laid 
  a 
  few 
  at 
  a 
  time 
  on 
  separate 
  leaves 
  and 
  often 
  on 
  different 
  

   trees.

  Diabrotica 
  vittata 
  feeds 
  in 
  the 
  early 
  spring 
  on 
  the 
  leaves, 
  stems 
  or 
  

   roots 
  of 
  the 
  cucumber, 
  and 
  other 
  cucurbitaceous 
  plants, 
  laying 
  its 
  

   eggs 
  at 
  the 
  roots 
  of 
  the 
  young 
  plants. 
  The 
  small 
  white 
  larvae 
  remain 
  

   through 
  the 
  winter 
  in 
  the 
  soil, 
  where 
  they 
  pupate. 
  Where 
  the 
  

   infestation 
  is 
  limited, 
  the 
  plants 
  should 
  be 
  dusted 
  with 
  a 
  mixture 
  of 
  

   equal 
  parts 
  of 
  pyrethrum, 
  hellebore, 
  tobacco 
  dust, 
  sulphur, 
  and
