CITRUS APHID (Aphis sniraecola Patch) 
Florida J. R. Watson (August 25): The citrus aphid, which was 
unusually abundant during the early part of July for that 
time of the year, has almost disappeared from the groves. This 
is due apparently mostly to the activities of ladybeetles 
and syrphus fly larvae. 
CITRUS WHITEFLY ( Dialeurodes citri Ashm. ) 
Florida J. R. Watson (August 25): The citrus whitefly is very 
abundant, mere abundant than for many years. The months 
of July and August have been abnormally dry in Florida, 
with the result that the entomogenous fungi have not 
been as effective as usual. Consequently, the citrus 
whitefly has been more abundant than for several years. 
CITRUS RUST MITE ( Eriophyes oleivorus Ashm. ) 
Florida J. R. V/atscn (August 25): The citrus rust mite is moderately 
abundant; moi e common than usual for August. The months of 
July and August -have been abnormally dry in Florida, with 
the result that the entomogenous fungi have not been so 
effective as usual. Consequently, the rust mite has given 
more trouble than usual.
