Louisiana W. E. Hinds (May' 25): This aphid appears to be unusually 
widespread and injurious on pecan twigs and leaves of new 
growth this season. K«a.vily infested trees are suffering re- 
tarded growth and malformation, and. will probably lose most 
if not all of their fruiting -possibilities' while so infested. 
The worst infestation known is in the vicinity of Lafayette, 
but comolaints have been received also from several other lo- 
calities.
