BROTU COLASPIS ( Colaspis brunuea Fab. ) 
J. J. Davis (July 22): Adults were reported from Nashville on 
July 18 as conspicuously eating the foliage of soybeans. This 
insect is becoming increasingly abundant and destructive, the 
beet" s eating the foliage of clover and soybeans ard the grubs 
injuring corn plants following clover, especially if the clover 
is plowed in the fall of the year. Inasmuch as it seems to have 
a preference for clover roots, we would suggest the common name 
of clover white grub for this insect. 
LESSER, CORN STALK- EORER ( Elasmopalpus lignosellus Zell.) 
J. W. Ingram (July 21): During the latter part of June larvae 
of the lesser corn stalk-bcrer were found attacking soybean plants 
near Crowley. In some cases the injury to the young plants was 
so great as to necessitate replanting of the beans. Adult speci- 
mens were sent in, and were determined by Mr. Heinrich. At pres- 
ent the borers are still at work in the beans, but the soybeans 
are too large to be killed outright by tunneling, although they 
are easily broken off in cultivation.
