Chermes laricis Htg. -72- 
New York. E. P. Felt (May 19). "Was- generally abundant on the new larch 
. leaves at Albany. Occasionally this aphid is decidedly injurious." 
' PINS 
Pine Bark Aphid (Pineus strobi Htg.) 
Ohio. H. A. Gossard. "Quite conspicuous at Wooster and has been reported 
from two or three other localities*" 
New York. M, D. Leonard (May 14). "Several pines affected at Pleasant ville." 
E. P. Felt (May 19). "Has apparently been an important factor in 
weakening white pines in Albany Parks since infested trees have 
been losing strength and dying for the last 10 or 12 years." 
Kentucky. H. Garman (March 15). "Eggs observed on white pine at Lexington. 
Some trees very badly infested. April 7, the eggs are hatciing." 
White Pine Weevil ( Pissodes strobi Peck) 
New' York. E. P. Felt (May 13). "Has been abundant and very injurious to 
white pines for a series of years near Broadaibin, Fulton County, 
and during the last four or five years has. seriously injured a mod- 
erately large planting of white pine. There is a marked contrast 
between these conditions and those in northeastern Rensselaer 
County, where recently set pines are practically unharmed. Injury 
by this insect here and there on Long Island was reported on May 13. 
POPLAR 
Cottonwood Leaf Beetle (Lina scripta Fab.) 
Ohio. H. A. Gossard (April 11). "For several years has been a serious 
pest in the plantations of the Mead Pulp and Paper Company at Chil- 
licothe, Ohio, and has commenced its operation full early this sea- 
son being received April 11." 
ARBOR VITAE 
Arbor-Vitae Leaf-Miner ( Argyresthia thuiella Pack.) 
Connecticut. W. E. Britton (May 19). "Since reporting this pest last month 
the larvae have pupated and a few adults have emerged. This leaf 
miner has injured many plants about New Haven." 
New York. E. P. Felt (May 24). "Has been the cause of several complaints 
from Long Island and a shipment from Newport, Rhode Island, was 
badly infested as reported by P. M. Eastman." 
OAK 
Tent Caterpillars (Malaco soma spp.) 
Oregon. A. L. Lovett (May 16). "More abundant in the fruit sections of 
Douglas County. Malacosoma d i s stria and .erqsa are both prevalent. 
The majority are on oak but tend to migrate to orchards. Malaco- 
soma pluvialis is more generally common in the upper- Willamette 
valley this spring than usual; the principal hosts are wild rose 
and alder."
