BUREAU OF ENTOMOLOGY AND PLANT QUARANTINE [August 
Hetcrodera schachtii on beets from Mexico; Hexamermis (?) n. sp. (this genus 
parasitizes insects) in Eugenia sp. seed from the Canal Zone; Hoplolaimus n. sp. 
in yam from Nigeria; Neotylench us abulbosus in Tritonia from Netherlands. 
A number of organisms determined to genus only at the time of interception 
were of special interest because they were new species or belonged to genera not 
known to occur on their hosts or were unlike the species reported as occurring on 
the host or related plants. Among these were Acrobeles glaphyrus (n. sp.) on 
tuberose from Mexico (not a plant parasite and hence not included in the list); 
Anguillulina gallica (n. sp.) in dm from France; Aphelenchoides hunti (n. sp.) 
in tiger lily from Japan and Pfujsalis from Mexico; A. solani (n. sp.) in potato 
from Cuba; Apiospora sp. on lemon grass from Jamaica; Ascochyta sp. on rhodo- 
dendron from England; Brachysporium sp. on melons from Argentina; Cephalo- 
bus cubaensis (n. sp.) in potato from Cuba; Cephalobus sp. (apparently new) in 
burdock from Japan; Gloeosporium spp. on Agapetes from England, on Aglaonema 
from China, on areca nuts from the Philippines, on camellia and on Daphne from 
Japan; Helminthosporium sp. on tomatoes from Mexico; Hendersonia n. sp. on 
cactus from Mexico; Hexamermis (?) n. sp., insect host unknown, in Eugenia 
seed from the Canal Zone; Leptosphaeria sp. on wisteria from Japan; Mycosphae- 
rella sp. (apparently new) on cactus from Mexico; Pestalozzia sp. on wisteria from 
Japan; Phoma sp. on lemon cutting from Italy; Phomopsis sp. on Coelogyne from 
Jamaica; Phomopsis sp. (probably new) on star-apple from Puerto Rico; Phyl- 
losticta sp. on camellia from Japan; Phymatotrichum sp. on cabbage from Spain; 
Physalospora sp. on Aglaonema from China; Septoria sp. on Acanthus from the 
Dominican Republic; Septoria sp. on primrose from England; Sphaeronema spp. 
on carrot from England, on onion from Spain, and on narcissus from England 
and Netherlands; Termitaria n. sp. on termite from Japan; Vermicularia sp. on 
Ophiopogon from Turkey. 
The interceptions of root-knot nematode (Heterodera marioni) are not shown 
in the main list but included the following new hosts: From Dominica, Hedy- 
chium coronarium; East Africa, Stapelia sp.; England, Aconitum napellus roseus, 
Anemone hepatica, A. magellanica, and Thymus azoricus; France, Genista sp., 
Syringa sweginzowii, and Viburnum fragrans; Germany, Echinocactus lennin; 
Japan, Camellia japonica; Netherlands, Pyrethrum sp.; Union of South Africa, 
Euphorbia punctata, Haworthia blackbeardii (?), and Kalanchoe sp. 
AIRCRAFT INTERCEPTIONS 
Two hundred and thirty-seven interceptions of insects were made. Among 
these were the following: Citrus blackfly (Aleurocanthus woglumi) on orange 
leaves from the Bahamas; Anastrepha sp. (Trypetidae) in sapote seed from 
Guatemala; Bephrata cubensis (Eurytomidae) in Spondias dulcis seed from Cuba; 
coffee leaf miner (Leucoptera cofeella) in coffee leaves from Puerto Rico; red- 
banded thrips (Selenothrips rubrocinctus) on guava fruit from Cuba; and Vin- 
sonia stellifera on orchid from Panama. 
Seven plant disease interceptions were made: Cephaleuros virescens (alga) on 
Cape-jasmine from Cuba (2) and on orchid from Costa Rica; Colletotrichum 
gloesporioides on tree seed from Haiti; Penicillium digitatum on orange and P. 
itdlicum on lime from Jamaica; and Pestalozzia sp. on star-apple from Cuba. 
CORRECTION 
Following is the correct spelling of Epilachna borealis discincta (Coccinellidae), 
appearing on pages 2 and 57 of the List of Intercepted Plant Pests, 1934. On 
pages 1 and 54 of the list for 1934 the host for the Mexican fruit fly (Anastrepha 
ludens) should be sweet lime (Citrus limetta) instead of lime (Citrus aurantijolia). 
COMMON PESTS INTERCEPTED 
In addition to the pests named in the itemized list which makes up the body 
of this report, there were numerous interceptions of cosmopolitan pests that are 
more or less prevalent in this country. While it is true that many of these inter- 
ceptions may represent forms or strains not yet introduced and potentially 
dangerous, it is not believed essential to the purposes of this list to include the 
details of their interception. They are, however, included in brief form in this 
preliminary text. Following each pest name are two figures in parentheses and 
separated by a dash, the first indicating the number of countries from which 
the pest was intercepted and the second the total number of interceptions.
