infestation. In the original description (Hawaii. Ent. 3oc. Proc. 7 (1), 
1928) Busck gives the distribution as Hawaii, California, and Mexico . The 
.only" other .record in the United States Was made in 1931 in Dona An- County, 
N. Mex. 
PERIODICAL CICADA 
Brood VIII. of the periodical cicada ( ]'.?ri cicada se->tendecim L. )■ am>t>eared 
in considerable numbers in a compact area in western Pennsylvania and eastern 
Ohio. The old brood on Martha's Vineyard Island, Mass., reappeared and single 
individuals were recorded in Maryland near Washington, D. C, and in northern 
Virginia. A few specimens of the small form, ca.ssinii fisher, were reported 
from northeastern Kansas. Brood XX of the 13-year race, M. tredeci^ V/alsh 
and Riley, was" represented by colonies in central Harold son and southern Pike 
Counties, Ga. County records for the year are as follows: 
Brood VIII: Kansas , Douglas, Leavenworth; 
Maryland . Montgomsry, Prince Georges; 
Massachusetts , Dukes; Ohio . Carroll i 
Colunbiana, Delaware, Mahoning,- Stark;

Brood XX: Geprgia ,, Ha.roldsoh, Pike. 
JAPANESE BEETLE 
The area continuously infested by the Japanese beetle at the end of the 
1934 season is estimated as 9,700 square miles, an increase of 900 square 
miles over that of 1933 (see ma*o). Of this area 6,160 square -niles is in 
New Jersey, 2,600 in Pennsylvania, 660 in Delaware, 120 in Maryland, and 160 
in New York. Within this area, of continuous infestation the T)o->ulation 
varies grea.tly. There has been no appreciable increase in numbers in the 
older infested sections of New Jersey, near the northern limits of distribu- 
tion or in the coastal sections of the State. The numbers have increased 
over 1933, hovever, in Monmouth County, N. J., and in all of the continuously 
infested area in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware. Areas of exceptionally 
heavy tree injury were more numerous in 1934 than in 1933. The most exten- 
sive of these was in extreme southwestern New Jersey, but others were well 
developed in Pennsylvania west and southwest of Philadelphia, and in north- 
eastern Delaware. The work of the season indicates that, with the exception 
of three localities, the beetle has not become established in any place out- 
side the present regulated areas. The capture of a few beetles at certain 
points outside the regulated area does not mean that an infestation is es- 
tablished. The most outstanding first-record find of the Javanese beetle at 
a point remote from the infested areas was at St. Louis, Mo., where beetles 
were collected in such nunbers as to indicate an established infestation. 
Another first-record find consisted of 17 beetles caught at Indianapolis, Ind. , 
in a residential section of the city at soti^ distance from a railroad line.
