SUGARCANE 
SU&ARCANE LEAF SCALE ( Pulviharia icervi Guer. ) 
A„ H. Rosenfeld (July 1): Attention of our entomologist, Dr. 
H. L. Dozicr, was called to a field of 5 acres belonging to a 
eole no of Central Cambalache, near Arecibo, on North Coast. 
Investigation proved these 5 acres to be 100 per cent infested 
and the cane v/ae yellowed and dwarfed as tf by some blight „ All 
stages of the insect were present except the males, which even 
brooding in the laboratory by Dr. Dozier failed tomdevelop. This 
is the first serious outbreak of this insect reported on the 
island and it would be interesting to know whether it has suddenly 
adapted itself from some native grass or if its .appearance in 
numbers is due to reduced parasitism for some natural pause. 
Coccinellidae were abundant at the time the patch was sprayed 
with kerosene emulsion by the owner with excellent result b. Wclcott 
(Journ„ 3d. of Agr. of P. R., Vol. 2, py>35, April, 1921) reports
