TOMATO PSYLLID ( Paratrioza coc kerelli Sulc. ) 
South Dakota, H. C. Severn (May 9) : This tomato pest was found in South Dakota 
greenhouses for the first time. 
Colorado. G, M. List (May 26): The tomato psyllid appeared in considerable 
numbers in Mesa County the latter part of April. The indications are that 
the infestation will be serious enough to cause considerable loss to the 
early potatoes. On May 22 eggs, all freshly laid, were found to be quite 
numerous on tomatoes near Port Collins. This is earlier than we usually 
find them. None have hatched yet. 
Utah. G. P. Knowlton (May 22): Adults of the first generation are maturing 
on teavine and matrimony vine at Magna and at Salt Lake City.

up in the Norfolk trucking section. This is the earliest record of emer- 
gence in this area, since 1929. The first eggs were deposited in the in- 
.- sectary on May 11 by a beetle taken in the field on May 7 . These eggs
