by Johnson. A couple of dozen additional pupae of the parsnip webworm were later 
received from Mr. Fernow, but no more parasites were obtained. The fly has ap¬ 
parently not before been recorded from this host and, so far as known, no other 
dipterous parasites have been reared from the parsnip webworm. 
Dichaetoneura leucoptera was described as a new genus and species by C. W. John¬ 
son (Psyche 14: 9, 1907), who received it from Winchendon, Mass., and Waterville, 
Me., where it was bred from the pupae of Archips cerasivorana Fitch. Patch (Me. 
Agr. Exp. Sta. Bui. 149: 265, 1907) bred this fly from A. cerasivorana in large numbers 
from various localities in Maine and also from A. fervidana. Herrick (Cornell Agr. 
Exp. Sta. Bui. 311: 291, 1912) has also reared D. leucoptera from A. cerasivorana , in 
New York. 
Dr. Bezzi, who has compared specimens of this species with type material of the 
European Phytomyptera nidiventris Rondani, declares the two to be distinct.

Indiana Insects. It is the plan of the Department of Entomology of Purdue 
University and the Agricultural Experiment Station to build up a collection of insects 
which will satisfactorily represent the insects found in the Central West, east of the 
Mississippi, and particularly those of Indiana. Records, publications dealing with 
Indiana insects, and specimens themselves are solicited. 
Careful records of occurrence and economic importance will be kept with a view to 
publishing the “Insects of Indiana” at a future date. Records should, therefore, 
include name, authority for determination, exact locality, date of capture, stage, host 
if known, collector and other pertinent data. 
Your cooperation is earnestly solicited. John J. Davis, 
Agricultural Experiment Station , Lafayette, Indiana. 
A New Apple Pest in Pennsylvania. A new pest, Eulia velutinana Walk, has 
become serious in southern Pennsylvania. The species is well known as a general 
feeder and has been recorded from Maple and Balsam. Heretofore it has not been 
recorded from apple. It was first noticed on apple in the spring of 1918, and has 
since been increasing in numbers and importance. This spring it was exceedingly 
numerous and attracted the attention of many who previously overlooked it. 
An abundance of larvae have been reared and the adults kindly determined by Mr. 
August Busck. In need of a common name the writer has been calling it the two- 
banded leaf roller. This distinguishes it from the four-banded leaf roller, Eulia 
quadrifasciana Fernald, which is a pest in New York State. 
The species passes the winter as adults which issue about the middle of May and 
lay their eggs in masses on the larger limbs and trunks of the apple. The larvae 
are yellowish-green and three-quarters of an inch long when full grown. They 
transform the latter part of June and the adults issue, laying their eggs in masses of 
twenty to forty on the leaves. The eggs are yellowish-brown in color and very much 
flattened, resembling the eggs of other leaf rollers. There is no doubt that there are 
several generations during the summer. 
Considerable injury has been noticed on drop fruit caused by this species. The 
cavities are usually shallow although frequently they are deep and resemble those of 
the green fruit worm but smaller. During the summer they continue their depreda¬ 
tions. In the late fall the species has been observed feeding on the fruit and making 
large shallow cavities. It is not uncommon to find the larvae feeding at the time the 
fruit are picked. S. W. Frost.
