auct. not uied. , 3IS A. uallens Coq. , 3 4» striata Schin. , and 31

CALIFORNIA RED SCALE ( Chrysomohalus aurantii Mash. ) 
Arizona. 3. L. Boyden (January 21): "I saw. the State Entomologist in 
Phoenix and he told me that a scouting inspection of ornamentals there 
disclosed several plants (euonTmus and rose were mentioned) infested 
with red scsle. The infested plants are being dug out and destroyed 
and the surrounding plants sprayed. He was of the opinion that the 
scale was brought in on nursery stock from California. It has not 
spread to the citrus plantings." 
PURPLE SCALE ( Lepidosaphes beckii I'ewm. ) 
Mississippi, H. Gladney (February 21): Heavv infestations have been re- 
ported in some citrus groves in Harrison County. The weakened con- 
dition caused by these insects and the low temperature in January 
killed a. great many trees. 
GREEN CITRUS APHID ( Aphis spiraecola Patch) 
Florida. J. R. Watson (February 27): Owing to the cold weather of Decem- 
ber and the continued drought, there has been very little new growth 
on citrus this oast winter, and the citrus aphid has been almost 
starved out. A few are appearing since the new growth has started on 
citrus, but it does not seem probable that tnere will be a heavy in- 
festation. 
CITRUS WHITEPLY ( Dia.leurodes citri Riley and How. ) 
Mississippi. D. W. Grimes (February 22): The whitefly is moderately 
abundant on citrus at Bentonia. 
Louisiana. W. E. Hinds (February 25): tfhite flies on citrus and on some 
privets appear to have received a setback by the freeze, ^hich re- 
sulted in the shedding of foliage on many of these host trees. How- 
ever, the cold did not defoliate nearly all host plants and a normal 
infestation may develop later in the season. 
A TERMITE ( Kglotermes simplicicornis 3nks.) 
Texas. S. E. Jones (December l c 3''): This termite was found causing in- 
jury to satsuma orange trees at Winterliaven during December. 
CITRUS RUST MITE ( Phylloc c ntes oleivorus Ashm. ) 
California. H. J. Ryan '(February 27): The rust mite, ?. oleivorus , is 
showing up in a slight infestation on citrus in the North Yfiiittier
