APPLE FLEA ..'EEVIL ( Orchestes pallicornis Say) 
Ohio J. S. Housor (September 24): One of the outstanding insect 
developments in Chio this season has been the almost complete 
elimination of the apple flea weevil by hymenopterous para- 
sites. Up until this year the rate of increase by this insect 
from season to season was quite disturbing, but in June hymen- 
opterous parasites working in larvae and pupae almost completely 
eradicated the brood so that late in the summer the insect was 
scarcely to be encountered.
