PACIFIC FLATHEADED BORER ( Chrysobnthris mali Horn) 
Arizona. C. D. Lebert (July 22): Quite a number of shrubs in local yards at 
Phoenix have been severly injured or killed by this borer. Common 
among the host plants are Pyracanth a, rose, sycamore, willow, and poplar. 
Infestations seem more numerous this season than usual. 
APPLE SEED CHALCID ( Syntomaspis druparum Boh.) 
Maine. P. H. Lathrop (July 19) ' The first adult emerged in cage at Monmouth, 
Kennebec County, on June l6. Emergence reached a. peak on 'June 2H. 
X LEAF MIIIEH . ( Crnix geminatella Pack.) 
Kansas and Missouri. H. Baker (July 30): This insect, which is usually pre- 
sent in smo.ll numbers and of minor importance, is unusually abundant in 
northeastern Kansas and northwestern Missouri. 
PEACH 
PLUM CURCULIO ( Conotrachelus nenuphar Hbst.) 
Maine. P. H. Lathrop (July 19) : Larvae began leaving dropped apples at Mon- 
mouth, Kennebec County, during the week ended July 17» 
New York, N. Y. St. Coll. Agr. News Letter (July 6): In Monroe County, western 
New York, the plum curculio has caused almost a total loss of some prune 
crops. 
Delaware. L. A. Stearns (July 23): The peak of first-brood adults, as de- 
termined by jarring at Bridgeville, Sussex County, was on July 8. In- 
jury will be light. 
Virginia. A. M. Woodside (July 2l): Some adults were collected in May at 
Staunton; still alive in the insectary but feed very little and no 
eggs have been found for over 2 weeks. All of the beetles. from drops 
have emerged, but none found to contain eggs and no eggs have "been 
found in the cages. Beetles feed greedily but do not mate. 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (July 20): At Port Valley the second-generation qqq 
deposition began on July 6, just before the Elberta peaches began to 
ripen; therefore that variety was subjected to a second-brood attack 
this year. All other varieties of peaches escaped a second brood of 
larvae. Forty-nine percent of the first-generation females had started 
to deposit second-generation eggs by July 20. The infestation is lighter 
than average. 
Missouri. L. Hascman (July 2U) : This pest is seemingly greatly delayed in its 
breeding. Some varieties of plums at Columbia show considerable numbers 
of larvae from half to full grown.
