INSECTS AFFECTING G REE IT HO USE 
AND ORNAMENTAL PLANTS

South Carolina. E. Sherman (May 22): A report of attack on sunflowers baa been 
received from Greenville County. 
0. L. 'Gartwright (May 22): The sunflower beetle is unusually abundant at 
Clemson College. 
AMARYLLIS 
A MITE ( Tarsonemus approximatu s narcissi Ewing) 
Washington. C. E. Doucette (May 11): From April, 1933, report, Sumner, fash., 
Station: Mites of what is considered this species (T. approximatus narcissi ) 
and variety were found on bulbs of Hippeastrum sp. (hybrid amaryllis) in the 
laboratory greenhouse. The extent and numbers of the infestation indicate 
that this mite is distinctly able to exist on this plant. An authoritative 
determination has not been received as yet, as males seem to be still quite 
scarce. This is the first knowledge of the occurrence of this mite on any 
plant other than narcissus.

Wilmington May 11 to 17.
