PECAN CASE BEAREB ( Acrobasis iuglardis LeB.) 
R. W. Harned and assistants (September): The pecan leaf 
case bearer is moderately abundant at Ocean Springs. 
Infestation is approximately normal in those pecan orchards 
that were examined in Stone County. 
RED-SHOULDERED SHOT-HOLE BORER ( XyloMops basilaris Say) 
R. W. Earned and assistants (September): Abundant in 
nursery pecan trees killed by cold last winter at Merrill. 
PECAN WEEVIL ( Balaninus caryae Horn) 
J. M. Robinson (September 19): The pecan weevil is very 
abundant in large pecan groves at Camp Hill. 
WALNUT 
WALNUT CATERPILLAR (Da tana inte.zerrima C-. & R.) 
H. S. Adair (September 25): The walnut caterpillar has 
been observed doing some damage to pecan trees in this 
locality (Albany) during the past few weeks. 
J. R. Watson (September 24): The walnut defoliator 
continues to be abundant. 
R. W. Harned and assistants (September): Several colonies 
of the walnut caterpillar were observed in one pecan orchard. 
The larvae were in their second instar. Several clusters of 
eggs were examined and it was found that the hatch was 100 per 
cent. A heavier infestation may be anticipated next year, 
since the parasitism seems to be low. The walnut caterpillar 
has been practically absent from the pecan orchards in 
southern Mississippi ever since the heavy infestation in 1S27. 
That year, it will be remembered, we had three distinct 
generations. The egg parasitism of the third generation 
averaged 92.3 per cent. Since that time only an occasional 
colony has been found. 
J. M. Robinson (September 19): The walnut da tana is active 
and moderately abundant on pecans at Auburn and Camp Hill. 
AN APHID ( Callipterus .juglanais Frisch) 
B. G. Thompson (July): European walnut aphids are showing up 
mere numerously than in June but not so numerously as last year.
