STRAWEERRY ROOT APHID ( Aphis fortes! Weed)

BEET L: ; AFH0??I!3 (Sutettlx t er.ellu s Bak.) 
Utah. G. F. Knowlton (March 16): Beet leafhoppers survived the winter in 
considerable numbers on some Tooele and 3ox Slier County breeding areas. 
Males survived at Flux and Timpie, which is unusual for this area but 
probably due to the unusually tr.il d winter. 
Utah and Arizona. 3. 77. Davis, Monthly Letter Eur. Ent., Ho. 237 (February): 
Or a trip thr ugh the perennial breeding area in Utah and Arizona I found 
host-plant co: itions favorable for a heavy population of E. ter.ellus in 
1934. ThroiTghcut the area alfilaria, an important host of the beet 
leafhopper, war growing thickly over most of the area below the 3,000- 
foot level. Counts chowed approximately one leafhopper every 2-§- feet. 
All females collected were full of mature eggs. In localities where 
alfilaria had not germinated, E. tenellus was collected on Covillea , 
another important hoot. In the Nevada area no PI ant ago or alfilaria 
was found to have germinated. Eriogonu m was germinated in a very limited 
area. In this area only ore; specimen, a female, was taken on Covillea .

Connecticut. E. ?. Felt (March 24): Eggs have survived the intense cold 
through December and January, apparently unhurt. 
Kansas. K. P.. Bryson (March 20): The first female was taken on January 1, 
and the first rale was taken January 2, following the very mild November 
and December, 'jjlie emergence continued until the peak was reached about 
January 17, when 143 females were taken on one tree. The last female 
was observed on February 20,
