in the Provo area. (April 28): Cutworms are seriously damaging 
pastures in the Hopper, Roy, and West Weber areas of Weber 
County. Alfalfa is damaged to a less extent in the same areas. 
p. L. Thomas (April 21): Pro den i a o rn ithogal 1 i Guen. is 
more abundant than usual in Calhoun and Brazos Counties, possibly 
because cotton is very much later than usual. (May 23): 
C. auxiliaris , or a very closely related species, has been so 
abundant at Lubbock and Big Spring the past three weeks that 
the adults have been very annoying to persons in houses. 
. G. 6r. Schweis (May 21): Cutworms are very abundant in Fallon 
and Reno. They did heavy damage on early alfalfa. 
A. G. Stephens (May 20): Army cutworms are very abundant in 
northeastern Wyoming, and there have been heavy infestations 
in Crook, Campbell, and Sheridan Counties. 
A. L. Strand (May 20): The army cutworm did heavy damage 
during April and May in parts of the State which received fall 
rains in 1931. Most of this damage was in winter wheat and 
was not prevalent in the southeastern tier of counties. The 
predicted outbreak of the pale western cutworm ( Porosa^rotis 
ortho^onia Morr.) has occurred, although it is not so wide 
spread as indicated b:^ our forecast. Several hundred acres of 
fall and. spring wheat have been destroyed in Gallatin County 
alone. 
E. J. Newcomer (May 20): Cutworms (Eaxoa sp. , Peltia due ens 
Walk., and Eriopyga sp. ) are making more trouble than usual, 
especially to gardens. 
SALT-MARSH CATERPILLAR ( BStigmeno acraea Drury) 
W. E. Kinds (May 26): Salt-marsh caterpillars have been quite 
abundant through the early spring but are generally rather 
heavily parasitized and will probably not be destructive in the 
second generation. 
P. L. Thomas (May 23): The salt-marsh caterpillar was reported 
from seven counties of northeastern Texas and from two counties 
in the southern portion. 
Correction: The note on Estigmcnc acraea Drury by J. R. Watson, 
page 84, Insect Pest Survey Bulletin, 1ms been corrected. 
Specimens were bred and identified as Apantesis phyllira Drury.
