INTRODUCTION 
This report of the 54th year of plant quarantine work in the United States 
summarizes the records of plant pests found in, on, or with plants, plant 
products, and carriers (1) imported into or entering the United States or 
the offshore possessions, (2) offered for entry but refused, (3) in quarters 
or stores of planes and ships, (4) entered for immediate transportation and 
exportation in bond, (5) in domestic shipments to the mainland from the 
States of Alaska and Hawaii, the American Virgin Islands, the Common- 
wealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, and other possessions, or (6)in preclearance 
inspection in the Bahamas and Bermuda. 
Insects, mites, and snails are included in the first tabulation; bacteria, 
fungi, and nematodes are in the second. The pests listed are of known or 
potential importance to agriculture and not reported or widely distributed 
in the United States. Some common organisms are included if they are new 
to the country of origin or the host plant. 
Records were made from identifications received during the fiscal year 
1967 and include some interceptions from previous years that were not 
determined until this year. Most insect and mite identifications are made 
by specialists of the Entomology Research Division and Plant Quarantine 
Division (both of the U.S. Department of Agriculture) and the Department 
of Entomology of the U.S. National Museum of the Smithsonian Institution.
