Brief notes ere given on the bionomics and control, by sprays 
of molasses and nicotine sulphate, of the above insect (Rev. Appl. Ent. 
(A) 14: 65) . The senior author obtained good control by a daily ap- 
plication, during the emergence period, of a dust of 40-percent nico- 
tine sulphate and kaolin or hydrated lime (1 to 20).

The best results hitherto obtained against Phytomyza ilicus 
Curt, have b-^en from ducting with nicotine and lime to destroy the 
adults. In experiments with a 2 percent nicotine-lime dust, it was 
found that few flies escape, and that they begin to fall within 30 
seconds. As many as 3,000 dead flies were collected from beneath a 
heavily infested holly tree 10 ft. high. The dust should be applied as 
soon as the flies appear, and satisfactory control should be obtained 
with 3 or more applications made at weekly intervals.

Nicotine dust was tested, but was not so satisfactory as other 
dusts used.

As the pre-oviposition period of the walnut flies (R hagoletis 
suavi s complete. Cress.) lasts two weeks, experiments against them 
were made with nicotine sulphate dust in a carrier, which killed 
all the flies subjected to it. In an area where applications were 
made twice a week for 6 weeks no infested walnuts were found.
