(Monthly Letter of Eur. of Ent. Eo. 157, liay, 1927): On Eay S 
77m. I'iddleton and T. E. Snyder inspected coniferoiis timbers recent- 
ly removed from the roof of the Ehite House. The roof -as so great- 
ly weakened that it had to be replaced. It was found that the tim- 
bers of the roof had been po-derposted by a cesstonid, Kexarthrus 
ulkei Horn. This insect has caused similar injury to buildings in 
Ee-7 York and Washington, and has also damaged flooring in houses 
in Washington. 
A WASP ( Stigmas fulvicornis 3 ohwer ) 
R. W. Earned (June 22): A pemphredonid wasp, Stigmus fulvicornis 
is doing considerable damage to the piazza floor of a home in 
Starkville. The -.-asp constructs small holes about the size of the 
head of a pin in the flooring in which it appears to be breedin . 
A number of specimens --.-ere noted to be carrying aphids in their 
months which were evidently the food for their young. 
Several 
aphids taken from the wasps appeared to belong to at least three 
different species, one of which A. 1. Samner thought was Eyzus 
per sicee . This is the second house known to be attacked by the 
wasps and so far as the writer knows the species has never been 
reported to be of economic importance before this.
