AIRCRAFT INTERCEPTIONS 
Seventy aircraft interceptions of insects were made. Among these were 
the following: Coccus viridis (Coccidae) and Protopulvinaria pyriformis (Coc- 
cidae) on Cape-jasmine from Cuba; and Euxoa inconcinna (Noctuidae) in 
a basket of Mexican potter}' from Mexico. Coleophora sp. (Coleophoridae), 
Euidella weedi (Delphacidae), and Gypona sp. (Cicadellidae) also arrived in 
airplanes from Mexico not associated with any specific material. 
The only plant disease interception reported was Diaporthe citri (the perfect 
stage of Phomopsis citri), found on citrus from Puerto Rico in the pocket of a 
coat in an airplane. 
COMMON PESTS INTERCEPTED 
In addition to the pests named in the itemized list which makes up the body 
of this report, there were numerous interceptions of cosmopolitan pests that 
are more or less prevalent in this country. While it is true that many of these 
interceptions may represent forms or strains not yet introduced and potentially 
dangerous, it is not believed essential to the purposes of this list to include the 
details of their interception. They are, however, included in brief form in this 
preliminary text. Following each pest name are two figures in parentheses 
and separated by a dash, the first indicating the number of countries from 
which the pest was intercepted and the second the total number of interceptions. 
The customary data regarding this material are on file and available to anyone 
interested.
