Carlina from Germany, P. lippiae on Lippia from Mexico, Ramularia lampsanae 
on witloof from England, Sclerotium opuntiarum on cactus from Argentina, 
Septoria rubi on thimbleberry from Canada, Speira toruloides on palm from 
Guatemala, Uredo jatrophicola on Jatropha from Puerto Rico, Uromyces cestri on 
Cestrum from Cuba, I'stilago caricis on carex seed from Norway, U. grandis on

NEW SPECIES AND NEW OR UNUSUAL RECORDS 
Attention is called to the following items which were new species, unlike species 
reported on the host, or new or unusual records for the host. Aphelenchoides 
limberi Steiner (a new species) on bulbous iris from Netherlands, Ascochyta sp. 
on Galanthus from Netherlands, Aspergillus alliaceus Thorn and Church on 
Galanthus from Turkey, Cephalobus butchli de Man (n. var.) in Colocasia from 
Barbados, C. symmetricus Thorn (probably new var.) in onion from Portugal, 
Cephalosporium pammelii var. purpurascens R. E. Buchanan (first reports as a 
plant disease, apparently) rot of apple from Japan, Ceratostomella sp. on Colocasia 
esculenta from China, Cercospora sp. (probably n. sp. and one that would bear 
watching) on Cypripedium from Guatemala, Chrysomyxa sp. on V actinium from 
Newfoundland, Cryptosphaerella sp. on wisteria from Japan, Didymella n. sp. on 
Alsophila from Mexico, Didymella sp. on camellia from Japan, Didymosphaeria 
sp. on peony from Japan, Dothiorella sp. on chrysanthemum from Japan, Gloeo- 
sporium sp. on Hoya from Italy, Hexamermis sp. (apparently undescribed, but 
not listed since probably an insect parasite) in carrot from England, Leptospliaeria 
sp. on rice hulls from Puerto Rico, Marsonia sp. on grape leaf from England, 
Microdiplodia sp. on bamboo from Jamaica, Mycosphaerella sp. on spinach from 
Japan, Paranthostomella sp. on peony from France, Phoma sp. on chayote from 
Syria, Phyllosticta sp. on camellia from Japan (two different lots), Phyllo sticta sp. 
on orchid from Belgian Congo, Phyllosticta sp. on Shortia from Japan, Phyllosticta 
sp. on Stapelia from Union of South Africa, Rhabdospora sp. on camellia from 
Japan, Sclerotium sp. on snowdrop from Turkey, Sclerotium sp. on narcissus from 
England, and Sphaerulina sp. on peony from Japan. Study of a fungus on roots 
of Yucca treculeana from Cuba indicated that it may be a new genus of the family 
Moniliaceae, tribe Hyalosporae. 
NEMATODE INTERCEPTIONS 
Interceptions of nematodes were not so numerous or varied as in the previous 
year. Anguina (Anguillulina) tritici was intercepted in wheat from China and 
Turkey; Aphelenchoides parietinus in various hosts from Barbados, China, Eng- 
land, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, Philippine Islands, and Sweden; Ditylenchus 
dipsaci 2 in various hosts from Belgium, Canada, Canary Islands (new locality for 
interception files), Denmark, England, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, 
Poland, Spain, Sweden, and Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; Heterodera 
marioni (no longer included in the tabular list) in Artocarpus communis from the 
Canal Zone and Osmanthus aquifolium from Japan, new hosts to our files; Praty- 
lenchus (Anguillulina) pratensis in various hosts from Cuba, Germany, Guatemala, 
Manchuria, and Netherlands. 
AIRCRAFT INTERCEPTIONS 
Aircraft interception records represent 194 organisms on 72 hosts from 22 
countries. 
Three hundred and ninety-seven interceptions of insects were made. Among 
these were the following: Mexican fruit fly (Anastrepha ludens) in grapefruit from 
Mexico; Aspidiotus spinosus (Coccidae) on Camellia japonica from Mexico; 
Cebrenis centrolineata (Coreidae) on Cape-jasmine from Mexico; Coccus viridis 
(Coccidae) on lime from the Bahamas, Cape-jasmine from Cuba, and coffee from 
Jamaica; Ctenochira punicea (Chrysomelidae) on Cape-jasmine from Mexico; 
Frankliniella cephalica (thrips) on rose from the Bahamas; F. cubensis on rose from 
the Bahamas and Cuba; F. insularis on sweet pea from Cuba and rose from the 
Bahamas and Mexico; Hemichionaspis townsendi (Coccidae) on Vanda lamellata 
(orchid) from the Philippines; Hypselonotus concinnus (Coreidae) on Cape- 
jasmine from Mexico; Leucoptera coffeella (Gracilariidae) on coffee from Puerto 
5 Tylenchus dipsaci, the name formerly used for the bulb or stem nematode, was changed in the 1934 list 
to Anguillulina dipsaci. In 1936 Ditylenchus dipsaci was accepted as the correct name for this nema.
