County l6 of the 21 fields examined were infested with weevils. The 
number of weevils in the infested fields ranged from 13 to 220 per 
10,000 plants. The average population of all fields examined was 56 weev- 
ils per 10,000 plants. 
C0WPEA CURCULIO ( Chalcodermus aeneus Boh.) 
Georgia. T. L. Bissell (May 27): Adults are seriously damaging young cotton 
at Fort Valley in central Georgia, by feeding into the stalks, and leaf 
petioles. About 20 percent of the plants in one field, where cowpeas 
were grown in corn last year, are killed. 
PINK BOLL770RM ( Pectinophora gossypiella Saund. ) 
Texas. A. J. Chapman (May l): At Presidio there was a heavy emergence of 
moths from the hibernation experiments during the week, indicating a 
heavier survival than last year. (May 15): There has been a reduction 
in emergence from all the hibernation tests except the one irrigated on 
April 20. The emergence indicates a higher percentage of survival than 
last year. 
COTTON LEAF WORM ( Alabama argillacea Kbn. ) 
Texas. F. L. Thomas (May 2~f) : The cotton leaf worm was reported from Nueces 
County today. 
K. P. Ewing (May 8): In Calhoun County no leaf worms have been found. 
Last year the first one was found' on May 5* 
Correction . — The locality for the cotton leaf worm reported in the 
Insect Pest Survey Bulletin, June 193& (vol. l6, p. 97), should have been 
Port Lavaca, Tex., instead of Port Tobacco. 
COTTON FLEA HOPPER ( Psallus seriatus Raut.) 
South Carolina. F. F. Bondy (May 15) : One cotton flea hopper nymph found in 
Florence County. 
Mississippi. A. L. Hammer (May 2U): The cotton flea hopper is rather common 
on cotton at State College. 
Louisiana. R. C. Gaines (May 15): In Madison Parish 9^ adults and 11 nymphs 
were found in 300 sweeps on evening primrose. In 500 sweeps near Tendall 
36 adults and 2 nymphs were taken. No sweepings were made during the 
same week last year but the number found this week was greater than that 
found during the last week of May in 193&. 
Texas. F. L. Thomas (May 8): Flea hoppers are more abundant in central Texas 
than in the more northern counties. (May 29): Control measures have 
been started in some counties of southern Texas. There are' but few fields 
in the central part where control measures would be justified.
