First appeared on tomato plants in the neighborhood of Sydney some five years previ- 

 ously. Increased in numbers during last two years and has become a pest of the fruits 

 and foliage of tomato, the foliage and young pods of French beans, and potato plants. 

 Short account of distribution, injury, and stages. Suggests hand picking and use of 

 "oil spray or tobacco and soap wash" against nymphs, as methods of control. Original 

 figures of egg, first, second, and fifth instar nymphs, and adult.

Pages 83-84: General account under name of "pumpkin bug." Attacks nearly all 

 garden plants, especially legumes and particularly cowpea. Several generations a year, 

 adults hibernating in fall and coming out early in spring. Control difficult. Young 

 may be killed by kerosene emulsion or strong soap solutions but adults only at strengths 

 that would injure plants. Hand collecting, in morning or on cold, rainy day, practical 

 in garden or in particularly valuable patch of cowpeas. In ordinary field of cowpeas 

 planting plenty of seed and keeping plants growing vigorously recommended. Men- 

 tioned elsewhere in bulletin as injurious to beans, okra, peas, pepper, Irish potato, 

 sunflower, and tomato.
