ELM LEAF BEETLE ( Galcrucella xanthome laona Schr.) 
' England and Now York. J. V. Schaffner, Jr. (August 25): Infestations 
of elm leaf "beetle in the Northeastern States generally are somewhat 
lighter than in 1935* However, there arc many localities in soil them 
New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and eastern New York that 
have elms badly browned by the feeding of larvae. In nearly every 
instance the infestations seem to bo extremely local, the infested 
trees being adjacent to buildings where adults had hibernated. 
New York. R. E. Horsey (August 15) : Several infestations on American, 
Scotch, and other elms — on some trees quite severe — in the towns of 
Pcnfield and Perington near Rochester, as well as in the city were 
reported. Probably about the same as usual for the past few years. 
The majority of elms. are little injured, although one variety of Scotch 
elm was found with every leaf skeletonized. Larvae from 3 to 5 nun 
in length were found on American elm on August 6. Probably second 
brood, as there was evidence of earlier feeding. 
Ohio. T. H. Parks (August 25): This insect has defoliated some English 
and Chinese elms and has fed freely on American elms in isolated areas 
of our larger cities. The second brood of beetles is now out. 
E. W. Mendenhall (August 11) : Elm leaf beetle was found infesting 
English and Chinese elm trees on the west side of Columbus. Very bad 
on Chinese elm as well as other elms in Cincinnati and Springfield. 
Tennessee. G-. M. Bentlcy (August 19): Elm leaf beetle has broken out in 
two places. The first, in Centinnel Park, Nashville, reported previously; 
the second on an American elm tree in Knoxvillo on August 3« 
Kentucky. M. L. Didlake (August 2U) : Adults injuring new growth of leaves 
after earlier defoliation by first-brood larvae. 
Washington. E. J. Newcomer (August 20): This beetle is thoroughly distribu- 
ted in the Yakima Valley. 
SMALLER EUROPEAN ELM BARK BEETLE ( Scolytus multistriatus Marshall) 
Connecticut. E. P. Felt (Axigust 2*0: The European elm bark beetle was ob- 
served in numbers entering sickly elms at Greenwich. 
AN ELM APHID ( Tuberculatus ulnifolii Monell) 
New York and New England. E. P. Felt (August 2U): The elm aphid has been 
unusually abundant and prevalent in New York and southern New England. 
EUROPEAN ELM SCALE ( Gossyparia spuria Mod.) 
New York. R. E. Horsey (August 15) : European elm scale is quite a common 
pest and now noticeable on American, Scotch, and Wredo elms.
