WALNUT HUSK FLY ( RhagoletU juglandis Cress.) 
California Monthly News Letter, Los Angeles County Agricultural Comm., 
Vol. 11 No. 10, October 15: R.~ suits of control work conducted 
in the Chino-Pomona district against the walnut husk fly are 
very satisfactory. In several treated orchards which last 
year showed 90 per cent of the nuts to be infested, it was al- 
most impossible to find a single infested nut this season. In 
contrast, untreated orchards showed a very heavy infestation.

California Monthly News Letter, Los Angeles County Agricultural Comm., 
Vol. 11, .No. 10, October 15: a recent survey of Catalina Is-

CITROPHILUS MEALYBUG ( Pseudococcus gahani Green) 
California Monthly News. Letter, Los Angeles County Agricultural Comm., 
Vol. 11, No. 10, October 15: Since July 1 the County Insectary 
has distributed 172,000 of the new parasites of the citrophilus 
mealybug which were recently brought into California from 
Australia by the University of California through the citrus 
Experiment Station at Riverside. 'These parasites are known as 
Coccoehagus gur neyl Compere. Liberations have been confined 
to placing small colonies on as many infested properties and 
over as wide an area as possible for establishment purposes 
only. 
■ Previous liberations indicate that the new -carasite is be- 
coming well established and that, if i.t does not prove a con- 
trolling factor alone, it will undoubtedly be an invaluable 
assistant factor in keeping this serious citrus r>est under 
control. At present the mealybug situation in the field is 
very satisfactory with all infestations at an extremely lor 
seasonal ebb.
