CUHRANT FRUIT FLY ( Spochra canadensis Loew)

CURRANT APHID ( Myzus ribis L.)

PECAN 
PECAN NUT CASS BEARER ( Acrobasis caryae Grote) 
Georgia and Florida. C. F. Moznette and H. S. Adair (April 24): The characteristic 
spring shoot injury caused by this' insect has been very difficult to find on 
pecan trees this season at Monticello, Fla. , and Baconton, Leesburg, Cairo, and 
Albany, Ga. This condition indicates that this insect may not be abundant 
enough during the first generation to cause serious damage to the nut crop. 
Texas. F. L. Thomas (April 24) : Pecan nut case bearers are very scarce this year 
in the Brazos River bottoms of Brazos and Ft. Bend Counties. 
PECAN LEAF CASE BEARER ( Acrobasis palliolella Rag.) 
Georgia. J. 3. Gill (May 25): The pecan leaf case bearer has caused rather serious 
damage to bearing pecan orchards in southern Georgia. 
Mississippi. C. Lyle and assistants (May): Heavy infestations of the pecan leaf 
case bearer in the Gulf comities. (Abstract, J.A.H.) 
PECAN CASS BEARER (Mineola juglandis LeB.) 
Georgia and Florida. G. F. Moznette (May) : In some localities where pecan growers 
did not spray for this insect last season considerable damage is being done. 
In the vicinities of Monticello, Fla., and Cairo and Albany, Ga. , where this 
insect is abunoant, damage is not only noticeable on the buds and foliage, but 
the spring shoots are being damaged, and in many instances complete severing 
of the shoots at the base is observed.' 
HICKORY SHUCK- WORM ( Laspeyresia caryana Fitch) 
Georgia. H. S. Adair (April 24): Fourth-instar larvae were observed feeding in 
phylloxera galls on the leaf stems of hickory at Albany. Although moths have 
been observed in pecan orchards throughout the month, no larval feeding has 
been recorded and only a single egg was found on pecan leaves April 21. 
SMALLER WEBWORM (Tetralopha sub canal is Walk.) 
Georgia. J. B. Gill (May 25): The caterpillar T. subcanalis is occurring more 
commonly on pecan trees of Albany than in former years.
