Cacmcia rosaceana. This is a well-known enemy of all sorts of fruit 

 crops of the family Eosaceae, as well as of several other orders, and is 

 treated in most popular works on agricultural entomology. 



Specimens of pupas and adults of this species were received from 

 Mr. S. S. Wilson, Libonia, Pa., with the statement made in an accom- 

 panying letter dated May 3, 1898, that it was received by him in a 

 shipment of roses from a firm in Ohio, and that, on examining the 

 roses, larvae and chrysalides were found, and mairy of the leaves of 

 the plants were eaten awa} r . 



THE ROSE LEAF-FOLDER. 



( Cacoecia rosana Linn. ) 



This is an introduced species which attacks roses, but is not, so far 

 as the writer is aware, particularly troublesome, at least in green- 

 houses. It is very likely to become injurious, however, at any time. 

 It is figured and described as an enemy of currants by Messrs. Corn- 

 stock and Slingerland (Bui. XXIII, Cornell Univ. Expt. Sta., pp. 

 119-121), and has been stated by Dr. Lugger to attack also the apple, 

 wild rose, raspberry, hazel, hawthorn, and goosebeny (Fourth Annl. 

 Kept. Entom. State Expt. Sta. Univ. Minn., 1899, p. 228). 



OTHER LEAF-ROLLERS. 



A short notice of injuries by the fruit-tree leaf -roller, Cacmcia 

 argyrospila Walk., to the buds of roses in greenhouses was published 

 in Insect Life (Vol. Ill, p. 19). 



To this list must still be added, as species that are known to attack 

 roses, and are hence likely at any time to invade the greenhouse and 

 assume the bud-destroying habit, several other Tortricids, among which 

 may be mentioned the grape-beny moth, Eudemis hotrana Schill'., 

 Platynota flavedana Clem., Tortrix all i com ana Clem., Cenopsis petti- 

 tana Rob. , and reticulatana Clem., as also Loplioderm triferana Walk., 

 elsewhere noted as a violet insect. 



FULLER'S ROSE BEETLE. 



{Aramigus fallen Horn. ) 



Various greenhouse plants, and roses in particular, are often 

 severely injured and destroyed, unless remedial measures are adopted, 

 by a moderate-sized, obscure, brown or gray snout-beetle, commonly 

 known as Fuller's rose beetle, Aramigus fuller! Horn. Prior to the 

 year 1871 this species does not appear to have been recognized; in 

 short, its technical description was not published until the Centennial 

 year. At about that time and soon afterwards, as well as at intervals 

 later, it has attracted considerable attention on account of its ravages
