APPLE AND THORN SKELETONIZER ( Hemapophila par iana Clerck) 
A* I # Bourne (September 25): The apple and thorn skeletonizer 
seems to he increasing badly throughout the Connecticut Valley 
region at least, and, while this last brood has not turned out 
to be quite as bad as was anticipated from the evidence we had 
of the second brood in August, yet isolated trees or those which 
have not received pretty careful spraying are very badly browned. 
This insect has spread in numbers enojggh. to be a sjsriousopefet 
from the Connecticut Valley region at least as far east as 
Worcester County, where reports from the County Extension 
Service state that in many sections of the county the insect can 
be found and, apparently, it is very generally distributed over 
that region, although the county agent stated that damage to 
individual trees is not very heavy* Of course, in well-sprayed 
orchards, as would be expected, there is very little evidence 
of injury from this insect, although in most cases, at least, 
traces of its work can be found,, I was ahle to personally observe 
the presBnce of this species in northeastern Essex County, which 
would seem to indicate that although not yet in large numbers 
the pest has spread clear across the State, and we can probably 
look for increased abundance throughout the State, as a whole, 
another year. 
W„ E, Britton (September 2k) : This insect now shows all over the 
State. 
LESSEE APPLE WORM ( Laspeyresia prunlcora Walsh) 
S. W, Erost and E. M. Craighead (September 15): The lesser apple 
worm is more abundant than noticed before. Together with the 
leaf-roller Eulia velutinana Walk. f it is causing considerable 
late injury to the fruit. 
A TORTRICID (Amorbia humerosana Clem. ) 
S. W. Frost (September 13): The leaf-roller Amorbia humerosana 
Clem, is exceedingly abundant this summer in some orchards in 
York and Cumberland Counties. Summer Rambo showed as high as • 
25 per cent injury. : 
HAG MOTH ( Phobetron jd^afrfem sS, j&:A) ) 
Ohio H. A» Gossard (September IS): The hag moth larva was received 
from Utica, August 2S, taken in a dwelling house, and on 
September 25 from Negley on apple, 
GRESi: ERUITWORM (Xylina antennata Walk, ) 
New York R, G. Palmer (June 23): In Monroe County, slight damage is 
being done by this pest to fruit in apple orchards, hut in well 
sprayed orchards good control has "been secured.
