WALNUT CATERPILLAR ( De tana integerrima G. & R.) 
Ohio. N. F. Howard (August 29): The walnut caterpillar has "been moderately 
abundant^ hut not so abundant and injurious as it was in 1332. 
Michigan. E. I. Mc Daniel (August 9): The walnut datana has "been reported from 
all over the State as "being plentiful on walnut trees, many of which has "been 
defoliated. It appears to be particularly plentiful this year. 
Mississippi. C. Lyle and assistants (August): The walnut caterpillar and its 
injury to pecan trees are more noticeable this year than during the past 
several years. Serious defoliation of pecan trees was observed in Harrison 
County. This insect is also abundant at Ocean Springs, Jackson County. 
HICKORY HORftSD DEVIL ( Citheronia regalis Fab.) 
Mississippi. C. Lyle (August 23): Larvae have attracted attention in various 
sections recently, specimens collected in pecan orchards having "been received 
from Jones, Perry, and Fike Counties. 
CITRUS 
CITRUS WHITEFLY ( Dialeurodes citri Riley and How.) 
Florida. J. R. Watson (August 24): The citrus whitefly is unusually ahundant 
this year. Abnormally low rainfall for August in some sections has delayed 
the multiplication of the entomogenous fungi. 
E. II. Berger and G-. B. Morrill (August 23): This species and D. citrifolii 
Morg. are moderately to very abundant in various localities. Some cirrus 
plantings are almost free of whiteflies, thanks to effective growths of fungi 
in such plantings during 1932. 
Mississippi. G. L. Bond (August 19): The citrus whitefly is very ahundant around 
shrubbery at Lexington, Durant, and Greenwood. 
H. Gladney (August 16): The citrus whitefly is very ahundant on citrus at 
Ocean Springs. 
LOHG- TAILED MEALYBUG ( Pseudococcus adonidum L.) 
California. H. J. Ryan (August 22) : The long-tailed mealybug P. lonisoinus , was 
found severely infesting a few citrus orchards near Whittier. Occasionally 
severe infestations in greenhouses aid on ornamentals have been kno-.m in 
southern California for 15 years or more, but this mealybug has never before 
been found in great numbers on citrus. Associated in the Rivera section with 
Baker's mealybug, P. mar.ltimus Ehrh. , and the citrophilus mealybug, P. gahani 
Green, both of which are thoroughly under control this season by predators 
and parasites, the infestation by the long-tailed mealybug has so far been 
found only in some 10 or 12 groves where spraying, instead of fumigation, 
was applied last season for scale control.
