A Wjsjiiv IL ( Anaccntrus sp. ) 
Louisiana J. "7. .Ingram and 2. K. 3ynum (January 29): Die number of 
"buds killed by a small weevil, Anacentrus sp.,on sugarcane 
stubble is unusually high on one plantation. Further exami- 
nations will be made to determine whether the warm ^eather 
or other factors have favored f-cevil injury or whether the 
cU mage is local. . 
GRAY SUGARCANE MEALYBUG ( Pseudococcus boninsis Kw. ) 
Louisiana J. W. Ingram and K. :3. Bynum (January 29): Numbers of 
sugarcane mealybugs have been observed feeding on sugarcane 
above ground throughout the winter.

A 3ILLBUG ( Calcndra chittendeni Blatch. ) 
Mississippi II. Dietrich (February 21): Larvae -~ere very common in 
and rice stubble in the southern part of Perry County, Miss. , 
Missouri in December. Emergence was observed February 11 at Webster 
Groves, Mo. (Det. A. F. Satterthwa.it ).

CODLIITG MOTH ( Caroocvosa oomonella L. ) 
New York P. J. Parrot t (February 23): Codling moths are very 
abundant in western Ne™ York. 
West Viri ;inia L. M. Peairs (February 24): A ~ood survival of codling 
moths is indicated. 
Georgia C. H. Alden (February 19.): There is a heavy carry-over of 
hibernating larvae at Cornelia. Pupation started on the south 
side of trees under bands in orchards on February 10. 
Illinois Z. P. Flint (February 22): Larvae in orchards are nearly 
all alive regardless of their location on the trunk or 
branches of the tree or on the ground. While the larvae 
going into -'inter quarters may have been slightly less than 
was the case in the fall of 1930, the very high survival 
"ill mean an extremely heavy first brood unless some unfore- 
seen conditions cause the 'death of overwintering larvae before 
time of pupation and emergence.
