sevcre, 30 larvae per net sweep "being taken. The larval parasite 
is abundant at Taylorsville, as many as 6 per net sweep "being taken. 
Nevada. G. G. Schweis (May 20 ) : The larvate are already feeding on the 
plants, with a large number of eggs still unhatched * in- the western 
p c art of the State. 
California. A. E. Michelhacher (.May 22): The weevil is rather scarce 
in the northwest section of the San Joaquin Valley. On May 15, the 
number of larvae collected to the 100 sweeps of an insect net in 
the different fields ranged from 1 to 100, while the adult count 
ranged .from 1 to 63. In the agricultural region adjacent to the San 
Francisco Bay the larval count on May 17 ranged. from 1 to 8J; the 
adult count ranged from 1 to 3» Parasitism, based on rearing out 
• the parasites from last instar weevil larve.e collected on May 6, was 
98 percent for the San Joaquin "Valley and 92 percent for the region 
adjacent to the San Francisco Bay* 
CLOVER LEAF WEEVIL ( %pcra nun-c tat a F.) 
Maryland. F. F.Didke (May l): Injury by larvae was observed in- a number 
•of fields of red- clover at Knoxville, Frederick County, in the north- 
eastern part of the State. Pupation reduced the population some by 
May 1 and a fungus killed most of the remaining larval population. 
E. M. Cory (May 5) : Eungus is present" on' weevil at Bel Air. (Bet. 
by E. N. Cory. ) 
Iowa. H. E. Jaqucs (May): The weevil is present in Keokuk and Davis Coun- 
ties, in the southeastern part of the State. 
C. J. Drake (Jmy 29): In eastern Iowa the clover leaf weevil al- 
most entirely defoliated a field of sweetclover near Muscatine dur- 
ing the early part of May. Other infestations of lighter nature were 
found near North ^airport in red clover and alfalfa. Small infesta- 
tions were also observed near South Buffalo. 
Utah. G. F. Knowlton and assistants (May): On May 2 clover loaf beetles 
were causing severe injury to some alfalfa and clover at Orem in Utah 
County. Damage is also occurring in Box Elder, Davis, Salt Lake, and 
Sanpete Counties. 
A WEEVIL ( Hyper a brume ip ennis Boh. ) 
Arizona. W. C. McDuffie (May 29): In the Yuma Valley egg and larval 
populations of the legume weevil were inconsequential by the early 
part of April; however, cocoons were numerous most of April and the 
peak of new-generation adults obtained during the latter part. Earli- 
est emerging new adults began migrating from fields in search of 
aestivating quarters early in April, but the greatest exodus occurred 
lake in April and early in May. By mid-May only an occasional adult 
or larva could be collected in. course of fields sweepings, which in-
