greenhouses and barn in Cincinnati, according to a correspon- 
dent who sent specimens. They were attacking greenhouse crops 
and chrysanthemums . 
A CLOTHES MOTH ( Tineola walsinghami Busck)

all parts of the State from Alachua County south.

York City. ( De t . by W . H . Ander son. ) 
DRUG STORE WEEVIL (Stegobium paniceum L. ) 
Few York. R. E. Horsey (October): Control measures were success- 
ful against this weevil in a local herbarium at Rochester, 
where considerable damage was done to specimens last year. 
Inspection of the specimens during the last 2 months revealed 
a few larvae. Adults capable of flight were found on 
September 30. 
DRIED FRUIT BEETLE ( Carponhilus hen ip to ms L. ) 
California and Arizona. F. Simmons -and G. H. Xaloostian (October 11) 
Severe souring and decay of dates in the Indio, Phoenix, Yuna, 
and El Centro areas, caused by exceptional rains, was accom- 
panied by an abundance of these beetles. This species was the 
most generally plentiful species found. 
STORED GRAIN INSECTS 
Minnesota. H. K. Shepard (October): Three recent records of 
Triboliun madens Charp. were noted, two of these being from 
residences in Murray County on August 11 and Lincoln County 
on October 17, and one from shelled corn in Yellow Medicine 
County on October 12. All three records are therefore from 
the southwestern corner of the State. On August IS Calloso- 
bruchus naculatus F. was reported in large numbers in a kitchen 
cupboard in an apartment house at Saint Paul. 
Indiana. J. J. Davis (October 5): The angoumois grain moth 
( Sitotroga cerealclla Oliv.) is more nrevalent and destructive 
this fall, especially in the southern half of the State, than 
for many years. Infestations refer primarily to field corn 
and popcorn. 
Iowa. H. E. Jaques (October 23): The stored-grain situation is a 
serious one, much corn being already in sealed storage and an 
abnormally large crop in the field. A number of species of 
beetles and moths are involved.
