1933] SERVICE AND REGULATORY ANNOUNCEMENTS 239 
As a result of this survey in northern Chile 1,524 larvae and puparia of 
Anastrepha sp. were taken in mangoes, peaches, and pears, and 166 adult 
specimens of Anastrepha peruviana collected on the leaves and fruit of 10 
different hosts as follows: Fig, grape, guava, mango, olive, orange, peach, 
pear, Solarium sp., and yellow hog plum. One specimen of Camaromyia bullans 
Wd. was collected on apple; 16 of Tomoplagia unifascia Hendel on olive and 
orange, and 1 of Tephrltis fucata F. on olive. 
Noteworthy among the injurious insects other than fruit flies taken in this 
part of Chile were the larvae of a species of Blastobasidae in the fruit of fig, 
and larvae of species of Pyralidae and Epipaschiinae in many of the fruits of 
fig, mango, peach, pepper, and quince. 
CENTRAL CHILE 
This is by far the most important division of Chile, the largest fruit-growing 
farms being located here. With the exception of the Huasco Valley, nearly 
all of the other extensive fruit centers in this area were visited, as follows: 
Coquimbo, La Serena, the Elqui Valley including Vicuna and Rivadavia, 
Santiago and vicinity, San Bernardo, Santa Inez, Buin, Penaflor, Tobalaba, 
Colima, Lampa, Perejil, Quillota, Boco, Limache, San Francisco, Valparaiso 
and vicinity, Zorras, Salta, Quilpue, Villa Alemana, Marga Marga, Casa Blanca, 
La Cruz, etc. Fruits seen were peaches, nectarines, grapes, apples, pears, 
quinces, lemons, oranges, plums, apricots, limes, grapefruit, olives, mandarin 
oranges, cherries, figs, cherimoyas, both Honey Dew and watermelons, pome- 
granates, and papayas. Among the vegetables were potatoes, cucumbers, to- 
matoes, eggplants, squashes, pumpkins, peppers, carrots, cabbages, beets, corn, 
and sweetpotatoes. 
Adult specimens of Camaromyia bullans were taken on the foliage of nectarine 
and potato, and of Trypanea (Urellia) abstersa Lw. on potato plant. Also the 
ortalid, Pterotaenia fasciata Wd., was taken on peach foliage, and is known to 
cause serious damage to cherries in Chile at times. 
Among the injurious insects other than fruit flies taken in central Chile were 
the following : Epicauta pilmus Molina on alfalfa, peach, and potato ; Panto- 
morus godmani Cr. on alfalfa, cherimoya, cherry, grape, peach, potato, and 
strawberry plants ; Carpocapsa pomonella in apples, apricots, nectarines, pears, 
peaches, quinces, and walnuts; Rhyephenes humeralis Guer. on avocado twigs; 
larvae of a species of Olethreutidae in string beans ; Plutella maculipennis Curt. 
on cabbage; Eriocampoides limaeina Retz. on leaves of cherry and pear; Lep- 
toglossus chilensis Spin, on leaves and fruit of fig, nectarine, peach, and plum ; 
Lophotus phaleratus Er. on limb or Lucuma sp. ; Scolytus rugulosus Ratz. on 
fruit and twigs of medlar and peach; Hcliothrips haemorrhoidalis Bouche on 
persimmon leaves; Gnorimoschema tuberosella Busck in stems and tubers of 
potato ; Gnorimoschema operoulella on plants and in tubers of potato ; Heliothis 
obsoleta in potato tubers and in soil near root of tomato plant ; larvae of a 
species of Cossidae in stem of willow and lilac, etc. 
SOUTHERN CHILE 
A hurried trip was made February 26-29, into the apple and pear district of 
southern Chile in the Province of Bio-Bio, the sections of El Pino, Miraflores, 
and Angol being visited. The Instituto Agricola Bunster is located at the last- 
named place. 
It was found that apples and pears of good commercial varieties were pro- 
duced in fairly large quantities in this area and shipped to all parts of Chile 
as well as exported to other parts of South America and to Europe. The fol- 
lowing products were also examined here: Grapes, pears, peaches, nectarines, 
plums, tangerines, immature oranges, grapefruit, persimmons, olives, lemons, 
tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, green peas, etc. 
No evidence of fruit fly was seen in any of the foregoing examined, but 
D. S. Bullock, director of the Bunster Agricultural Institute, presented the 
authors with specimens of Rhagoletis ochraspis Wd.. which he had taken in 
codling-moth traps in this vicinity, and it was later learned that this fly does 
considerable damage to tomatoes in Peru and is reported as also attacking 
green beans and peppers. 
Among other injurious insects taken were the larvae of Heliothis obsoleta in 
peppers, etc.
