WHITE-LIKED SPHINX ( Celer io lineata Fab. ) 
H. C. Soverin (July 14): White lined sphinx caterpillars 
are abundant on tall dock but have been reported as doing 
injury to corn at Bruce. At times as many as 5 to 8 cater- 
pillars are to be found on a single dock plant. 
C. Wakcland (July 23): The white-lined sphinx moth is very 
abundant on weeds near Moscow. The infestation appeared alarming 
but abated before reaching wheat. Larvae very heavily parasitized. 
3EIE 1 ARKYWORM ( laphygma exigua Hbn. ) 
H. Ryan (July 20): A limited infestation of armyworms gave 
considerable concern to holders of residential property in the 
small area about 5 miles west of the center of town. They were 
migrating from a harvested grain field to city lots but were 
found to be feeding only on Anagallis grvensis (poor man's 
weather vane) and doing no damage to shrubs or plants. We reared 
adults which were determined as Laphygma exigua Hbn. (beet 
armyworm) by Dr. Comstock of the Los Angeles County Museum. 
SAT'S. STIW. BUG ( Chlorochroa sayi Sts,l). 
G. P. Knowlton (July 21); Says plant bug was found causing 
moderate damage in many northern Utah wheat fields before the 
grain became ripe. Serious damage was observed in only a few 
fields. :

spread over the State this yea.r. All specimens sent in prove 
to be those of the northern grain aphid and no Toxoptera have 
been found.
