POTATO A T TD TOMATO 
A PYRALID ( Pachyzancl a per iusali s Walk.) 
Georgia. T. L. Bissell (September l)i Larvae have "been noted, since 
July 27 at the Georgia Experiment Station on tomato plants growing 
thickly in pots in the greenhouse and .just outside. By August l6 
they had spread to tomato plants in an open hotbed. Today I found 
a few larvae on a tomato pl->nt in the garden near the greenhouse. 
Eggplants in this garden and in a distant field are heavily in- 
fested. Tomatoes in this field are free. A few larvae were ob- 
served on horsenettle near eggplants. 
A MIRID (S ngytatu s gcniculat us Rout.) 
California. H. J. Ryan (August ^0) : A plant "bug identified as E. 
geniculatus was found attacking tom?to plants on several proper- 
ties in the San Eernando Valley. This was first taken in southern 
California in Orange County in 1931. 
LEAF -FOOTED BUG ( Lcntoglossus -phyllomis L. ) 
North Carolina. W. A. Thomas (September 15): The nymphs are very abun- 
dant on potato and tomato in, some fields near Chadbourn. When large 
numbers attack a potato stalk they cause it to wilt down in one day. 
The tops of some plants have already been killed. 
Georgia. T. L. Bissell (September 26): This bug is slightly more abun- 
dant this summer than usual at Experiment. Adults and young have 
been found on elderberry, cotton, Cenhalanthus , cowpeas, and jimson- 
weed. L. oppo situs Say also was observed on cowpeas. 
TOMATO PSYLLID ( Par-trioza cockerolli Sulc.) 
Utah. G. F. Knowlton (September 5): Potato psyllids have been abundant 
enough to cause damage in some fields in various parts of northern 
Utah. . . ... 
Colorado. G. M. List (September 20): The tomato psyllid has been moder- 
ately abundant on potatoes and tomatoes in a number of localities. 
In Mesa County, where the injury to early potatoes is usually quite 
severe, the infestation was not as heavy as. during the past two 
seasons. Untreated early x»etatoes in Weld and Morgan Counties suf- 
fered a loss of probably 20 percent. Late potatoes in these sections 
are showing some injury, and there will be some loss in a number of 
other localities. The infestation on tomatoes in northern Colorado 
has been rather severe, the crop being materially reduced and the 
quality much lowered.
