Heliothrips hcemorrhoidalis, Bouche. As this insect has been reckoned 
an enemy of the apple in New York, Pergand thinks it necessary to 
state that it only wanders on to the trees from other plants ; Lintner,

Commences with bibliographical notes on white ants in Japan, after 
which the nymph and soldier of a species (which the author terms Termes 
spercitus, sp. n.) are described in detail ; it is supposed to be allied to 
the N. American T. Jlavipes . 
Hagen remarks that, contrary to his former experience, he had found 
Termes (presumably T. jlavipes) attacking living trees of Acer rubrum at 
Cambridge, Mass., and. that, possibly on account of these attacks, the 
leaves were much smaller than is usual. C. A. Dohrn suggests that the 
trees were previously unhealthy. S, E. Z. xlvi. p. 61 3 Canad. Ent. xvii.
