ASIATIC BEETLES 
There has beon little increase in 1935 i- n the area known to be infes- 
ted "by Anoma la ori ent alis Uaterhc One beetle was found at a new location in 
Hew Jersey at Springfield, in Union County. There have been a few reports 
of minor turf injury from feeding ."by larvae. In 1935 the Asiatic garden 
beetle ( Aatos erica castanea Arrow) continued to spread. On Long Island all 
of Hassau County has now "been covered and the insect has penetrated into the 
western part of Suffolk County . Prior to 1935 > the southern part of Hassau 
County had "been only lightly infested, but this year the insect has increased 
in numbers, resulting in more feeding on ornamentals and in vegetable gardens 
along the south shore of Long Island. The infestation in northern Hew Jersey 
now covers all of Essex, Hudson, and Union Counties and embraces parts of 
Bergen, Passaic, Middlesex, and Monmouth Counties, The old infestation in 
Pennsylvania located in the Philadelphia suburban area lias also shown a 
gradual increase in area. In 1935 beetles were fully as destructive to 
ornamental plants as in previous years, but fewer cases of injury to vegetable 
plants than in 1933 a ^ 193^'" ''-ere reported. The insect was definitely more 
of a nuisa,nce in 1935 than in any previous yea" in its hah it of flying 
about and alighting on persons in brightly lighted places. (C. H. Hadley, 
Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, U. S. D„ A» ) 
OBLONG LEAP WEEVIL 
The oblong leaf weevil ( Phyllobi us oDlongus L. ) was very abundant and 
caused noticeable injury to elm and maple near Painesville, Ohio, where it 
was first discovered in 193^» This weevil was first recorded in this 
country in 1923 from near Rochester, H. Y. , where it was attacking elms. The 
Survey ha,s received no further reports on this infestation, although a report 
of injury to pear folia.ge was received from Penfield, H. Y. , a few miles from 
Rochester, The insect is widely distributed in Europe, where it is a pest of 
various trees and is especially injurious to fruit trees.
