BELTED CUCUMBER BEETLE ( Piabrotic a balteata LeC.) 
E. y. Earned (September 10). "The banded Diabrot.ica is again 
causing serious loss to beans in southern Mississippi. This 
beetle apparently reached Mississippi some time during the past 
8 or 10 years. It had never been noticed before that tiro, but 
for the past 5 years it has attracted as much attention as any of 
the Biabroticas. The complaints in regard to this insect have 
been largely from growers of beans, dahlias, and cucurbits." 
T. E. Jones (September 10). "Beetles have been unusually abundant 
lately on cowpeas, beans, Irish potatoes, sqvash, and other plants 
at Baton Rouge. Cowpeas have been badly eaten in Louisiana this 
year, principally by or o terra trifurcata , but Dia brotica balteat a 
adults have been responsible for some of the injury." 
(September 20). "At the request of the county agent of Rapides 
Parish, I spent yesterday in investigating the damage done by this 
beetle in the vicinity of Alexandria. \7e found the beetles 
abundant on various crops but they were attracting special atten- 
tion because of the injury being done to Irish potatoes and cow- 
peas. This morning specimens were received from Oberlin with 
the information that the beetles were attracting attention in that 
section. In both sections nentioned, it appears to be the general 
impression that a new pest has put in its appearance. This would 
indicate that the species has no* heretofore been abundant there, 
though specimens were talren rear Alexandria by the writer as early 
as 1914. While the beetles have been locally abundant in the 
State in previous years, particularly in the fall of the year, it 
seems that this species is becoming more and more a serious pest." 
BEAN LEAF-BEETIE (Cero toma trifur cata Foerst.) 
T. E. Jones (September DO). "Oowpea foliage has been badly injured 
in Louisiana by insects this year, the damage being largely done by 
the adults of this species."
