328 Report of THE DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY OF THE 
apple leaves. In Europe it is known to infest Sorbus aria Crantz, 
Sorbus aucuparia L. and Sorbus torminalis Crantz. This species 
inhabits blisters upon leaves that are indistinguishable from those 
of pyri. It has been found only in few numbers and is much less 
important than the latter. 
PRIVUPHYES MALIPOLEAL tee. 
The body is rounded on dorsum and is fusiform, being very 
broad posterior of the thoracic shield. The cephalothorax is large. 
The thoracic shield is large, because of the width of the body, and 
projects over the anterior margin of the body. Upon the median 
area of the shield there are a number of lines which extend from 
the anterior to the posterior margins. At the sides there is a rather 
indistinct netlike sculpturing. The thoracic setae are wanting. The 
rostrum is large, and is broad at the base. 
The legs are rather long. The fourth and fifth segments are 
much narrower than the basal segments. The fourth segment is 
a little longer than the fifth segment. The third segment is a 
little over one-third the length of the second segment. The seg- 
ments have the usual spines which are of medium size. The tarsal 
claw is of medium length and is knobbed. The feathered hair has 
four rays. 
The abdomen is abruptly acuminate, with rather small anal 
lobes. The striae on dorsum number from sixty to seventy and are 
continued to the ventrum, where they are less widely separated. 
The ventral setae are fine and of medium length. The first pair 
are a little longer than the third pair, which are longer than the 
second pair. The lateral, genital and caudal setae are fine and of 
medium length. The accessory setae are wanting. The epigynium 
is large and projecting. 
The female measures about two hundred microns in length and 
seventy microns in width. 
This is a vagabond species and is found in association with 
Eriophyes pyrt and Phyllocoptes schlechtendali upon the under 
surface of apple leaves. It is not as abundant as the two latter 
species but it is quite common in the apple orchards in the vicinity 
of Geneva and Canandaigua. (P. J. P.)
