A NEWLY-IMPORTED ELM INSECT. 



By L. O. Howard. 



Our first knowledge of this insect in this country was gained in 1884, 

 when Mr. Charles Fremd, of Rye, Westchester County, N. Y., wrote 

 Professor Riley, under date of June 22, as follows : 



My elm trees in the nursery are troubled this year with a red-looking mealy bug. 



Thousands of them are be- 

 tween the cracks of the 

 bark, and are destroying 



ST' 



the vitality of the trees. 

 I have made one applica- 

 tion of kerosene emulsion, 

 but I presume not strong 

 enough. I will go over 

 them again with a strong- 

 er emulsion. * * * 



Professor Riley was 

 in Europe at the time, 

 and we therefore 

 wrote Mr. Freind for 

 specimens, which he 

 promptly sent, June 

 30. All of them had 

 been saturated with 

 kerosene emulsion, 

 however, and were 

 not in fit condition 

 for study. It was 

 plainly to bo seen that they were new to the Coccid fauna of the United 

 States, and our impression then was that they belonged near the genus 

 Uriococcus.
