CUCUMBERS 
STRIPED CUCUMBER BEETLE ( Diabrotica vittata Fab. ) 
N. Y. State Coll. Agr. , Weekly News' Letter (April 25): A 
few striped cucumber beetles were found in Erie County. 
W. A. Thomas (March 21): This insect was observed at 
Chadbourn in large numbers feeding on the open blooms of the 
chokeberry. At this time no cucurbits had been planted, fjhis 
early appearance of the striped cucumber beetle in such large 
numbers would seem to indicate that the winter mortality has 
been much below the normal for this section. 
J. N. Knull (April 25): Adults plentiful on the flowers of 
Amelauchier canadensis at Mont Alto.

more widely distributed each year, and severe losses result.
