ACACIA 
A LEAFHOFFSE ( Dikraneura kunzei Gill.) 
California. H. J. Ryan (March 26) J On March IS a leafhopper, P. kunzei . 
was taken on silver wattle ( Acacia decurrens deal"bata ) located in an 
orange grove near San Ditnas. Judging from the extent of the injury, 
the infestation has been quite heavy on the acacia trees but the leaf- 
hoppers are not very abundant now. This leafhopper was first collected 
on silver wattle growing in Altadena in November 1932. The infestation 
at that time was light but evidences of injury indicated that the 
leafhopper s had at one time been very numerous. The 'orange trees 
adjacent to the two silver wattles at San Dimas show tynical leafhopper 
damage and the extent of damage decreases, especially on the fruit 
(navels), as the distance from the acacia trees increases, and is 
noticeable for about 8 or 10 rows from the acacias.
