A WEEVIL ( Conotrachelus an ag-.lypticus Say) 
Georgia Oliver I. Snapp (May 14): Three adults were captured from frames 
while jarring for C5. nenuphar H erbst. on the morning of I r ay 7 and 
one on May 14. The peach is the host for C. anap-lvpticus in this 
latitude, and this species is responsible for a small percentage of 
the wormy peaches in Georgia. 
FLOWER THRIPS ( Euthrips tritici Fitch) 
Indiana B. A. Porter (May 24): Hearly 10 per cent of the small peaches in 
the vicinity of Vincennes have been already injured by the peach thrips , 
(Kay 25): The thrips appeared early in May as the petals were falling, 
and within a few days had caused serious injury to the newly set fruit. 
C. E» Barker (May 24): Injury to young peaches, identical with the 
injury by thrips in other localities, has been found at Mitchell, Ind. 
Estimate:. 3 to 5 per cent of fruit in 30-acre peach orchard as damaged 
in this way , 
GREEN PEACH AFKID ( Myzus persicae Sulz.) 
New Mexico W. E. Emery (May 7): This aphid has done considerable damage to 
foliage^ but is being sprayed for and put under control in Dona An*. . 
County. 
LESSER PE/CH-TREE BORER ( Aegeria oictipes G. & B.) 
New York C. R. Crosby and assistants: This borer has been observed on sweet 
cherry in small numbers in Wayne County; is common and severe in some 
orchards in Monroe County, and rather abundant where brown rot cankers 
are bad in Orleans County, Lake section. 
SHOT -HOLE BORFR ( Scolvtus rugulosus Ratz .) 
New York C. R. CrosDy and assistants: Many weakened trees are infested at 
Sodus, Wayne County. The shot-hole borer is plentiful in old peach- 
wood piles and also in peach orchards around Kolley, Orleans County; 
present in Monroe County; abundant in orchards where peach borer© are 
bad and in stone fruits near brush and wood piles in Orleans County; 
found locally on peach in Wayne County, where it has killed several 
black cherry trees. 
Georgia Oliver I. Snapp (May l) : Trees are badly infested in several old 
neglected peach orchards. Twigs of healthy peach trees are sometimes 
attacked by adults later in the season, as reported in the Insect Pest 
Survey Bulletin of November, 1922.
