leaf hopper on grape and woodbine vines continued to "be received up to 
September 1. 
Colorado. G. M. List (September 20): The grape leaf hopper has been very 
abundant on grape and woodbine. Many of the latter, where grown for 
ornamental purposes, are nearly defoliated. 
RED -BANDED THRIPS ( Selenothrips rubrocinctus Giard) 
Florida. J. R. Watson (September 2U): Grapes that had been severely at- 
tacked by the red-banded thrips were received from West Palm Beach. 
The thrips caused a russeting of the rind very similar to their work 
on guavas. 
PECAN 
FALL WEBWORM ( Hyphantria cunea Drury) 
Worth and South Carolina. W. A. Thomas (September 15): The second genera- 
tion is much more numerous along the Coastal Plain on pecan, persim- 
mon, and forest trees than at any time during the past 10 years. Hard- 
ly a pecan tree has escaped injury, and many are already completely 
defoliated. In some instances, the green husks on the nuts have been 
partly eaten off. 
Mississippi. D. W. Grimes (September 20): Fall wobworms are general 
around Durant, where the injury to pecan ranges from moderate to 
severe. 
Louisiana. T. E. Snyder (September 7): The fall wobworm is quite abundant 
on persimmon trees between New Orleans and Alexandria. 
PECAN WEEVIL ( Curculio caryae Horn) 
Georgia. T. L. Bissell (September 2b): The pecan weevil began laying eggs 
about September 2 at Milner, and small numbers were still active on 
September 2R. Weevils have been more abundant than in any year ^ince 
1930. ' 
CITRUS 
GREEr! CITRUS APHID (Arhis spiraeaola Patch) 
Puerto Rico. G. jr. Wolcott (August 13): Citrus shoots., the leaves of 
which have been curled by the green citrus aphid, were collected yester- 
day near Comerio. This insect seems to be increasingly' common and its 
injury is noted widely, not only in the recognized citrus districts, 
but also, as in the present instance, miles from the nearest known com- 
mercial grove.
