GRAPE 
" LEAFHOPPER f Typh i ocyba pongs Say) 
New York C. R. Crosby and assistants: Infestation continues much below the 
conditions of last year at Fredonia, Chautauqua County; where this 
insect was found feeding on the above plants during the past week. 
Apparently it is far less abundant than last spring though very 
abundant in some vineyards. They are not yet feeding, and the way 
I detected them was by following behind a nan who was pulling brush 
out of the vineyard, when they arose in swarms. The species is rather 
abundant in Ulster County. Adults are feeding on raspberry foliage 
but are no/ numerous in Chautauqua County. The insects appeared in 
good number? and are now changing from their darker orange color to 
yellow, in Chautauqua County. 
New Mexico ¥, E, Emery (May 7): This insect is more numerous than last year, 
but no d^rrage has been done so far; foliage is not very far advanced. 
GRAPE LEAF-ROLLER (Des mia funeralis HuebnQ 
Ohio R. 5, McKay (May 15): .Work of larvae was first noticeable about 
May 1C . I estimate 10 to 25 per cent infestation. 
A WEEVIL ( Rhigopsie off r act a Lee.) 
California W, D. Pierce (May 31): Specimens were sent in by Harry Smith with 
the report that they were damaging the tender growth of grape vines. 
So far as I knew this is the first charge against this species , which 
has formerly been reported as froa yucca. The specimens are from 
San Bernardino County. They are probably root weevils. 
GRAPE FLE k BEETLE ( Kaitica chalvbea 111.) 
New York C. R. Crosby and assistant: No infestation of this insect has been 
observed or reported. The buds are now swollen to such an extent 
as to be practically past danger of destruction by this pest at 
Fredonia in Chautauqua County. 
STRIPED TREE CRICKET f Oecanthus n igri cornis Walk.fr 
Ohio H. A, Gossard (May li): On March 5 we received from Geneva, Ohio, 
eggs of the tree cricket on grape tips. 
CURRANT 
CURRANT APHID ( Myzus rib is L.) 
New York C. R. Crosby and assistants: Currant aphids are very few and local 
as '-jet in Ulster County, but found generally on opening leaves in 
Genesee County. 
P. J. Parrott (May 5): Found beginning to curl currant foliage at 
Geneva. (April 19): First newly hatched nymphs observed.
