_U93- 
Washington. E. J. Newcomer (September 15') : Somewhat more abundant than usual 
in the Yakima Valley on apple and pear, owing to continued hot weather in 
August, , 
YELLOW-NECKED CATERPILLAR ( Pat ana ministra Drury) 
Missouri, L, Haseman (September 26); Third-stage, second-brood larvae have been 
appearing in small colonies during the latter half of September in central 
Missouri, 
LEAP CRUMPLER (Mineola indigene 11a Sell,) 
Minnesota. A. G. Ruggles (August): Reported on apple at Clarkfield. 
ROUNDHEADED APPLE TREE BORER ( Saperda Candida E. ) 
Missouri, L, Haseman (September 26): While less abundant than in recent years 
in central Missouri, young as well as mature apple trees are showing 
heavy infestations. Most of the larvae are 1 inch in length with an 
occasional, recently hatched larva showing up. 
APHIDS (Aphiidae) 
Massachusetts. A. I. Bourne (September 22): Very few reports received in apple 
aphids in serious abundance. In earlier reports this season all species 
were given as unusually abundant. No serious damage observed or reported, 
Oregon, E. J, Newcomer (August 22): Aphelinus mali Hald, very abundant and para- 
sitizing woolly apple aphids ( Eriosoma lanigerum Hausm, ) in an apple 
orchard at Goshen, Lane County. B. G. Thompson, Oregon State College, 
states that the nearest point of liberation of this parasite was at Monroe, 
about 25 or 30 miles northwest of Goshen. 
APPLE LEAFHOPPERS (Cicadellidae) 
Massachusetts, A. I, Bourne (September 22): Apparently somewhat less abundant 
than last year, and the infestation over the State seems to be spotty. 
Generally it would be considered lighter than normal. 
Virginia. A, M. Woodside (September 23): Common in many apple orchards. The 
white apple leaf hopper ( Typhlocyb^ pomaria McA. ) is generally the most 
numerous but in some orchards Srythroneura hartii Gill, is more abundant. 
APPLE MAGGOT ( Rhagolct is pomonella Walsh) 
Massachusetts, A, I, Bourne (September 22); Not particularly troublesome in the 
■apples already picked. Apparently only moderately abundant, no more so 
than in 1938, and considerably less abundant than 4 or 5 years ago, 
Connecticut. P. Garman (September 2l) : Unusually abundant, and infestation 
severe in many localities.
