GENTLEMEN: I have the honor of presenting herewith my report on the injurious and other insects of the state of New wos for the year ending Oct. 14, 1899. General entomologic features. Excessive injuries by the forest tent caterpillar, Clisiocampa disstria Hiibn. were even more pronounced in many localities the present season than last year. On account of this insect’s appearing in force on many maples adorning roadsides, the outbreak attracted more than the usual amount of atten- tion and induced vigorous efforts in ‘certain communities to prevent serious injuries. The village authorities of Glens Falls, Saratoga Springs, Herkimer and a few other places were obliged to fight the pest at public expense. The closely related apple tree tent caterpillar, Clisio- campa americana Fabr. was unusually destructive, specially in the western part of the state. The appearance of a brood of 17 year cicadas, Cicada septendecim Linn. in the Cayuga lake region excited considerable interest. Some attention, in an incidental way, has been given to the distribution of certain insects believed to be limited to the upper austral life zone. One of the most important results of this work was to show that the 12 spotted asparagus beetle, Crioceris 12-punctata Linn. was much more generally distributed throughout the state than had been supposed. A personal examination of sugar maples in Syracuse, Batavia and Leroy showed that the sugar maple borer, Plagionotus speciosus Say, had 534 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM been very destructive, specially in the latter place. A striking instance — of the influence of the press was seen in the great interest manifested last summer in the so-called kissing bug, Opsicoetus personatus Linn. a species which had hitherto attracted very little attention. Elm leaf beetle. The serious injuries inflicted the last few years by this imported insect, Galerucella luteola Mill. indicated the de- sirability of educating the public more fully concerning the pest. A lec- .ture, describing local conditions and giving the methods of fighting shade tree pests, with special reference to this insect, was delivered before the Troy scientific association March 6. Substantially the same matter was presented before the Albany institute April 4. In addition, a number of short articles giving timely notice of methods of procedure against shade tree pests were published in local papers. Though the city authori- ties of Troy made no provision for the general spraying of trees along the streets and in the parks, much was accomplished at private expense. W. H. Gordinier, who the preceding season had operated a power spray- ing outfit, prepared a second and found more calls for his services than he could meet. Wherever spraying was timely and thorough, most. excel- lent results were obtained. It will be found that in infested localities where no provision has been made for general spraying along the streets and in parks, many valuable trees will be sacrificed. In all. work against the elm leaf beetle, it has been found necessary to emphasize again and again the supreme importance of timely and thorough work. This is specially true since the public frequently judges of the value of spraying from that which was done by careless or ignorant persons. Office work. The routine office work has been much heavier than last year. An unusually large number of insects have been received with requests for information concerning them. The inspection of nurs- eries conducted under the supervision of the commissioner of agriculture has led to frequent calls on this office for the identification of scale and other insects. The entomologist has also been requested to cooperate with that department in some experimental work and has been called on to give advice and to revise a folder giving the formulas for insecticides. The demand for popular information through the agricultural press has been very gratifying and indicates a hearty appreciation of this work among farmers. The number of letters and postal cards written has been greater than in any previous year and amounts to 1559. The prosecution of certain lines of field work and investigation has been seriously curtailed by the large amount of proof reading incident to carrying through the press in the summer a large general index of 200 ae REPORT OF STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1899 535 _ pages embracing (as estimated) 38,000 references. Though this has required an enormous amount of labor, it is believed that the office itself will be amply repaid for the work done in the additional facilities for referring to previous reports. The office is fortunate in possessing two valuable assistants. C. S. Banks, of Oswego N. Y. was graduated from the Oswego normal - school in 1896 and has taken two short courses in entomology at Cornell university. In adddition he has studied and collected insects on his own account for some years. Miss Margaret F. Boynton, of Lockport N. Y. was graduated with honors from Cornell university in 1895, held a graduate scholarship there in science during the college year 1896-97 and since then has done considerable work in natural history. Pressure of other work has prevented the preparation of the usual detailed notices of injurious insects observed during the year. The scientific results of the season, aside from certain notes submitted here- with, will be presented at some future time. Publications. An effort has been made to send out timely infor- mation through the press, so as to be of service in preventing injury from insect attacks. This is of more importance than at first appears, because many complaints are received when it is too late to apply remedial measures. A number of circular letters were prepared and sent to papers in localities where the insects noticed were likely to cause damage. Remedial measures were indicated in this way for the follow- ing insects: white-marked tussock moth, Notolophus leuco- stigma Abb. & Sm., elm leaf beetle, Galerucella luteola Mill, forest tent caterpillar, Clisiocampa disstria Hiibn. and the 17 year cicada, Cicada septendecim Linn. ‘Two short bulletins were issued in April and May, one designed to encourage the study of insects and to aid voluntary observers and the other to give popular in- structions for controlling insect depredations on shade trees. A popular account of several of the most important shade tree insects, illustrated by three colored plates, has been prepared for the report of the fisheries, forest and game commissioners. A list of the publications of the ento- mologist, 95 in number, is given as heretofore. Collection of insects. The additions to the state collection of insects have been greater than in any preceding year. My assistant, Mr Banks, has spent considerable time in the field collecting forms specially desired. The contributions of insects from correspondents have been larger than heretofore. ‘The additions made by the office force have 536 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM been mainly to the biologic collection, as it was felt that special atten- tion to this feature was necessary. Some of the newly acquired material - has been arranged to form the exhibit noticed below. As there was no assistant last winter, it was impossible to begin the much needed arrang- ing and classifying of the insects in the state collection, and the numerous duties incident to the period of greatest insect activity prevented such work in the summer. A case containing 68 trays, made after the same plans as those used in the United States national museum, has been provided, together with additional shelving, and with this increased space at disposal, it is planned to get the collection in much better shape the coming winter. ‘ Plans have been completed for adding to the state collection and at the same time increasing the interest in insect life. Students in regents high schools are allowed a nominal sum for insects sent to the state ento- mologist in good condition, provided a certificate of actual attendance is previously filed with him. As the plan was not made public till Septem- ber 1, it is too early to report results. The private collection of the late Dr J. A. Lintner is still in the office and should be bought for the museum, as it is composed largely of native forms from all parts of the state, besides containing many unique specimens. Division library. The reference library of the division is sadly lack- ing in many valuable works, though every effort has been made to sup- ply deficiencies. Were it not that the entomologist has enjoyed the use of the private library of his predecessor, the literature at his command would have been very limited. Some provision should be made to sup- ply this vital deficiency. As Dr Lintner’s library was built up largely to supplement the volumes possessed by the state, its purchase is most urgently recommended. Exhibition of insects. In my previous report the exhibition of small insect collections at fairs, grange meetings and other places where farmers assemble was recommended. As a beginning, a collection repre- senting one or more of the various stages of over 100 of the more im- portant injurious and beneficial insects was prepared and placed on exhibition at the state fair at Syracuse and also at the Oswego county fair. A catalogue giving briefly the leading characteristics of the various species and outlining the treatment of those injurious, was distributed. The interest manifested indicates the desirability of making adequate pro- vision not only for similar exhibitions at state and county fairs, institutes REPORT OF STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1899 537 and other gatherings, but also for a complete collection of the injurious and beneficial insects, which should be maintained as one of the perma- nent exhibits of the museum. Such collections are educators of the greatest value to the agriculturist, who in no better manner can become familiar with the habits of the important insect pests he must fight. A more detailed account of the exhibit at Syracuse will be found on subse- quent pages. Voluntary observers. A corps of voluntary observers in entomol- ogy was established for the purpose of bringing the entomologist into closer relations with the public and also to facilitate the gathering of information; for the reception of weekly reports during the growing season from all sections of the state could but result in bringing together many important facts. The value of the service will be enhanced as the work continues, for many of the previous records concerning some of our more common injurious insects are remarkable either for their scarcity or vagueness. There are now 43 observers, representing 39 counties. Most of the reports submitted are valuable, while a few could hardly be improved on. As the purpose of the service becomes better understood, it is expected that more effective work will be accomplished. A sum- mary of the work of this organization will be found on subsequent pages. Entomological society of Albany. The organization of a local entomologic society, though in no way officially connected with the division, is worthy of mention, because it is an effort to quicken a home interest in this important branch of rfatural history. The society was organized May 19, now has an active membership of 23, and gives promise of awaking considerable interest in insect life. In order to encourage this movement, the facilities of the office are placed at the disposal of the society and its members, provided there is no interference with official duties. | Acknowledgments. The thanks of the entomologist for aid ren- dered are due to other workers along the same lines, particularly to those connected with the United States department of agriculture, who have most obligingly complied with every request. The hearty support and encouragement given by the regents have done much to make the work of the year successful, and it is with the greatest pleasure that I acknow!]- edge the same. Respectfully submitted EPHRAIM PORTER FELT State entomologist 538 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM NOTES ON INJURIOUS INSECTS FOR 1899 Several insects have appeared in unusual numbers or have attacked crops not previously affected by them. The unusual abundance of the milk- weed butterfly, Anosia plexippus Linn. may be mentioned, and of the harvest fly, Cicada tibicen Linn. The destructive work on sugar beets of the red-headed flea beetle, Systena frontalis Foerst. is noteworthy. The beetles had evidently bred beside a large field in Syracuse N. Y. where they were found in great numbers at the time of my visit to the locality, and from there had invaded the patch, giving it a brownish, ragged appearance. The pest was quickly con- quered by spraying with paris green. Ina few places in the central parts of the state, American elms suffered severely from the larvae of a flea beetle, Disonycha triangularis Say, which devoured the lower epider- mis of theleaves. In August the foliage of these trees presented the dried, brown appearance so familiar in the Hudson river valley in connection with the attacks of the imported elm leaf beetle, Galerucella luteola Mill. The pea crop on Long Island was ruined in places by the attacks of a plant louse, since named Nectarophora destructor Johns. One grower lost 20 acres and another 14 through the work of this pest. Another insect which attracted much notice last summer was the so-called kissing bug, which in this state must be considered the masked bed bug hunter, Opsicoetus per- sonatus Linn. Undoubtedly some persons were bitten by this insect, but many of the newspaper stories rested on a very slender foundation in fact, at least so far as the identity of the creature was concerned. Raspberry saw fly. The pale green, spiny larvae of this insect, Monophadnoides rubi Harr. were received from Newark, Wayne co. with the statement by C. H. Stuart that they had been very injurious to raspberry plants. He wrote as follows: ‘‘The leaves of the infested patch looked today [June ro] like those of a badly infested currant bush. There is hardly a leaf in the field without several holes in it, and most of the older leaves are eaten to threads.” At Oneida, Madison co. two acres were defoliated by this insect, as I was informed by J. T. Thompson. They had occurred in small numbers the preceding season in the latter locality. The badly eaten raspberry leaves received the latter part of May from Mrs H. E. Robinson, of North Nassau, Rensselaer co. had probably suffered from an attack of the same insect, though no larvae were found on those submitted for examination. REPORT. OF STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1899 539 Locust borer (Cyllene robiniae Foerst.) Some half dozen of the pretty beetles belonging to this species were received September 20 from J. H. West of Poughkeepsie N. Y., with the information that they had practically destroyed a very handsome young locust tree, which to within two years had been in excellent condition. The attack was first observed in the early fall of 1897. The trunk, about 6 inches in diameter, was full of holes to within 15 or 20 feet from the ground and ‘the outside was covered with these bugs to the top.” The tree was treated with benzine and washed several times with a stream from a hose. Last year no insects were noticed, but for the past few weeks the beetles have been very abundant. Several limbs and one of the two main trunks were so badly riddled with burrows that they broke with their own weight. A portion of the infested tree, which came to hand later, showed that the above account was not an exaggerated one. The interior of the branch, one of the best on the tree, was badly honey- combed with burrows and here and there, where the beetles had emerged, the bark was badly undermined and perforated. The tree had evidently been oviposited on freely, as irregular clusters of ovoid white eggs, about 4 inch long and +; inch in diameter, were found in cavities beside - some burrows, and single eggs, tucked in longitudinal crevices of the young bark, were numerous. Elm leaf beetle. In Albany, Troy and vicinity this pest, Galeru- cella luteola Miill. has been as injurious as in preceding years, except where it has been controlled by spraying with arsenites. As it has established itself in force at Worcester Mass. and in a number of towns in the same county, all of which are probably within the transition life zone, it is very likely that in the course of time this beetle will make its way over a much larger portion of the state of New York than it has hitherto been supposed the insect could occupy. But I have yet to learn of its establish- ing itself in territory in this state outside the upper austral life zone, though it probably will, if it can exist in the places named in Massachu- setts. In both Albany and Troy large amounts of arsenate of lead have been used with most excellent results, when the applications have been timely and thorough. W. H. Swift & Co.’s prepared paste was used at the rate of 4 pounds to 200 gallons of water. In Troy over 1500 pounds of this insecticide was applied to the trees, and the person using it was highly pleased with the results, specially as the poison was found in the autumn on fallen leaves last sprayed May 22. Probably an equal amount was used in Albany. ‘Troy furnishes an interesting exam- ple of what the elmleaf beetle can do. Its ravages there have been 540 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM even worse than in Albany, and yet the city authorities did nothing to check it, except some spraying in public parks. The direct result of severe and general injury to the trees was a great demand for spraying apparatus operated by skilled men. One individual fitted up two power spraying outfits of a most approved type, beginning operations with the first last summer and with the second the present season. He has had more work than he could attend to, and it is to be presumed that he has lost no money in running them. Asparagus beetles (Crioceris asparagi, Linn. C. 12- punctata Linn.) It has been my conviction for some time that the ‘common asparagus beetle was more generally distributed in the state than is shown by previous records. The attention of voluntary observers was called to this insect and specimens were received from several localities. Last spring the 12 spotted form was taken in two or three places about Albany, and this, in connection with its occurrence near Rochester for a number of years, its discovery near Buffalo last year and at East Amherst and Newark the present season would indicate that this form has also attained quite a general distribution. Personal observations have enabled me to locate both of these insects in several places where they have hitherto been unrecorded. Crioceris asparagi is now known to occur in the following localities: Albany county, Albany, Menands; Dutchess county, Poughkeepsie; Erie county, Buffalo, East Amherst; Essex county, Ticonderoga; Genesee county, Batavia, Leroy; Greene county, Athens, Catskill; Livingston county, Geneseo; Madison county, Lebanon, Oneida; Monroe county, Brighton; Oneida county, Maynard, Vernon, Whitesboro ; Onondaga county, Syracuse ;, Ontario county, Geneva; Orange. county, Cornwall, Westpoint; Oswego county, Oswego, Oswego Center; Putnam county, Garrisons; Rensselaer county, Troy; Saratoga county, Mechanicville; Ulster county, Kingston; Wayne county, Clyde, Newark; Yates county, Crosby. Crioceris 12-punctata is known to occur in the following localities: Albany county, Albany ; Erie county, Buffalo, East Amherst; Genesee county, Batavia, Leroy; Kings county, Brooklyn; Monroe county, Brighton; Onondaga county, Syracuse ; Oswego county, Oswego Center; Queens county, Glendale, Richmond Hill; Tompkins county, Ithaca; Wayne county, Newark; Yates county, Crosby. Dr James Fletcher, entomologist of the Central experimental farm of Canada, informs me that both species of asparagus beetles are abundant in the Niagara district and as far back as Hamilton, Ontario. REPORT OF STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1899 541 The common asparagus beetle is probably well distributed over Long Island and the 12 spotted form occurs there. From the records at hand, it appears probable that the common asparagus beetle has established itself in all sections of the state included in the upper austral life zone. The 12 spotted form has been found in as widely separated localities in the western part of the state as the other species, and it will probably invade all territory now occupied by C. asparagi, if it has not done so to a large extent already. As the presence of C. 12-punctata at Glendale and Richmond Hill for at least four years has been known to L. H. Joutel, who kindly gave me these locali- ties and informed me that it was common about Brooklyn, it is very probable that this species has obtained a rather general distribution over, at least the western end of Long Island. Dr L. O. Howard has lately added to the list of localities the following: Chemung county, Elmira ; Monroe county, Penfield; Ontario county, Geneva; Suffolk county, Riverhead. | Willow butterfly. The caterpillars of this species, Euvanessa antiopa Linn. have been objects of more complaints than usual and doubtless were more injurious to elms than they had been for some time. The offenders were members of the first brood and were noticed mostly in early June. At Glens Falls, C. L. Williams reports that the caterpillars were widely distributed over the village and were doing some damage. They were received from Rhoda Thompson of Ballston Spa with the complaint that they were doing considerable injury. From Crosby, Yates co. Cyrus Crosby sent examples and said that they were stripping elms. From Port Jervis came a similar complaint by J. M. Dolph regarding a black caterpillar, probably this species, that was defoliat- ing Carolina poplars. The insect was very abundant in Albany and many caterpillars were killed by persons connected with the public parks. This species was also received from ‘Troy, Sandyhill, Palatine Bridge, Chatham, Binghamton N. Y. and Clinton Mass. In each case the abundance of the caterpillars had attracted the sender’s attention. They were undoubtedly more abundant than usual and caused con- siderable injury in many localities, but as they are gregarious in habit damage done by them is much more apparent than that produced by species which feed singly. Forest tent caterpillar. The ravages of this insect, Clisio- campa disstria Hiibn. probably never excited more interest in this state than during the present season. Not only were large numbers of trees 542 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM defoliated in many parts of the state, but the pests were present in force on shade trees in the streets of many villages, and by dropping on passers, crawling under foot, occupying piazzas and sides of houses, brought themselves to the attention of many who would otherwise have been indifferent to their presence. The loss suffered through this pest last summer can never be expressed in exact figures, but, when it is remem- bered that these caterpillars inflicted severe injuries in about half of the counties in the state, in not a few instances defoliating tracts of many acres in extent, it is seen at once that the total damage inflicted must be enormous. Outbreaks of this insect are more or less local, and usually do not last more than two to four years in a place, hence in some sections the pest was much more injurious than in previous years, while in others it was notasabundant. From Otsego county came as distressing reports as from any place. ‘The following is from a letter by Rev. H. U. Swinnerton, of Cherry Valley : ‘‘ Stopping trains is‘not a circumstance to what we have here in the way of stopping things with worms. We would stop the progress of the age, if it got across the way our worms were going.” He then proceeds to narrate how, because of the abundance of the caterpillars, the train he was aboard was stalled three times betwéen two stations about eight miles apart. Delaware county appears to have suffered very much, as the pest has been in certain localities for the past two years. H. E. Wilford of Andes writes: ‘‘ We are being devoured ... by maple worms. Can you give us any assistance?” Dr J. N. Wright of Grand Gorge informed me that the forest worm was making bad work with the maples in his vicinity, and requested information regarding the pest. In many parts of Greene county this insect was very destructive. In Lewis county C. C. Merriam of Lyon Falls writes that the forest worms are worse than he had ever seen them in his life. Many similar expressions could be taken from the letters of correspondents living in other parts of the state. During the latter part of May and in early June a large amount of the correspondence of the office related to this pest. Had it not been for most energetic efforts on the part of both local authorities and private parties, a large pro- portion of the thousands of sugar maples adorning the village of Saratoga Springs would have been defoliated. So serious was the situation that a special circular was issued and distributed through the village, in order to place in the hands of every person concise directions for controlling the pests. Shade trees in Albany, Schenectady and other cities and towns along the Mohawk river were attacked, and in a number of instances the trees were stripped of leaves. In certain towns ro cents a REPORT OF STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1899 543 quart was offered for all cocoons collected. As a result,*1350 quarts were bought by the village authorities of Glens Falls, 744 by Saratoga _ Springs, 450 by Mohawk, and reports of similar action in several other places also came to me. | An examination of trees in infested localities has shown that many egg clusters can not be collected to good advantage as they are | frequently found 20 to 50 feet from the ground. But as a large pro- portion of the eggs occur on twigs within 20 or 30 feet of the ground, something can be accomplished in winter by.cutting off the infested twigs where accessible and burning the egg clusters, specially if the trees are not very large. But in the case of good sized maples, it is very doubtful if this could be done to advantage, and even with moderate sized trees there would probably be enough inaccessible egg belts near the top to stock the trees with a host the coming spring. At best, the collection of eggs of this species can hardly be regarded as more than one of several repressive measures, no one of which can be depended on in itself to prevent serious injury. The egg belts can be seen best on a bright day and if there is a little snow, it will be easier to find all cut twigs dropped to the ground. ‘The collection and burning of the eggs is necessary in order to insure thorough work. A long handled pruning hook is of great service in cutting off the infested twigs. As soon as the presence of the young caterpillars (indicated by the thinness of the foliage of the upper branches) is detected, much can be accomplished by crushing them as they collect on the limbs or by dis- lodging them with a brush or torch. If the latter is used, care must be exercised not to injure the tree. Many caterpillars can be jarred from the tree by using padded mallets or even violent shaking will cause some to drop. Driving the caterpillars from the trees by jarring or otherwise, must be followed by some means of preventing their ascent. A band of cotton batting eight to 10 inches wide tied tightly in the middle around the trunk and the upper portion turned down over the string and allowed to hang loosely is a difficult obstacle for caterpillars to surmount, so long as it remains dry. Wide bands of paper coated with tar or of sticky fly paper will also prevent the pests from ascending for a time. A band com- posed of equal parts of lard and sulfur is said to be an effective barrier. In one locality bands of cottolene were used to prevent the caterpillars from climbing trees. When the pests are abundant, it will not do to depend entirely upon shaking and bands, the dropping creatures must be collected on sheets spread under the trees before they are jarred and then killed, or crushed as they collect under the bands. Nothing but 544 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM most vigorous methods will protect badly infested trees from severe injury. The masses of caterpillars found on the larger limbs and on the trunk can be crushed in large numbers with a stiff broom or thickly gloved hands. A more agreeable method is to spray these clusters with kerosene emulsion or with whale oil soap solution (one pound to four gallons), or to pour boiling water over them. This pest can be controlled by spraying with arsenical poisons where the trees are not too large for the apparatus at hand. If the caterpillars are nearly full grown and many are crawling to the sprayed trees from others, it is perfectly possible that all the foliage will be devoured before the pests have eaten enough poison to kill them, but under most condi- tions there need be little fear of the arsenical spray proving ineffectual if it is properly applied. The cost attendant upon this method will lead people to depend largely on other means. After the damage has been done, many of the insects are within man’s power and can be killed in their cocoons. From about the middle to the last of June thousands of cocoons can be collected with but little labor and if this is done opportunity should be given the beneficial parasites to escape before the cocoons are destroyed. Every healthy female pupa killed means one less egg mass to produce its approximately 150 or 200 hungry caterpillars another season. It is believed that by fighting this insect in the egg, caterpillar and pupa states our shade trees can be preserved from serious injury. Native birds should be protected in all localities and, specially in forests, they must be our principal allies in subduing this terrible pest. Robins, orioles, chipping sparrows, cat birds, cuckoos, red eyed, white eyed and warbling vireos, cedar birds and nuthatches have been observed feeding on this insect by Caroline G. Soule. E. H. Forbush, ornithologist to the state board of agriculture of Massachusetts has kindly supplied me with the following list of birds observed feeding on forest tent caterpillars : oriole, black billed cuckoo, yellow billed cuckoo, crow, blue jay, redstart, nuthatch, woodthrush, chewink, black and white creeper, red eyed vireo, flicker and scarlet tanager. V.H. Lowe has observed the black capped chickadee feeding on the eggs. Prof. C. M. Weed states that the robin, chipping sparrow, yellow bird and English sparrow feed on the moths. I7 year cicada. Considerable interest was manifested in the appearance in the western part of the state of brood 19 of Cicada septendecim Linn. The following list of localities, incomplete though it be, is given as a matter of record. Cayuga county: the cicada — REPORT OF STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1899 545 was reported very abundant at Union Springs by J. Jay Barden and as present at Auburn by Joseph Foord. Much damage was said to have been caused in the former locality, but later this report was modified as the injury proved to be less than was at first supposed. Livingston county: W. R. Houston reported the cicada to be in numbers at Geneseo, present at Groveland and very abundant at Avon. Monroe county: Lewis Hooker found it at Rochester and M. S. Baxter sent in specimens from Penfield. Onondaga county: Miss A. M. Armstrong found it in large numbers at Syracuse. Yates county: Cyrus Crosby reported the cicada present in greater or less numbers at Dresden, Bellona, Long Point and Mays Mill. Drepanosiphum acerifolii Thos. The drouth, specially in the western part of the state, has apparently been very favorable to this beautiful species. At Onondaga Valley, Syracuse, in early September many maple leaves had fallen, those in the upper portions of the trees were badly curled and much honeydew was seen on the foliage. The trees proved to be badly infested with this plant louse, which was doubtless at least partly responsible for the bad condition of the trees. At Batavia many infested maples were seen but the injury was not so great as at Syracuse. The work of this species was also observed at Amsterdam and in Albany, but it was doing less damage in the latter place. June’: 23. EXHIBITION OF INSECTS AT AGRICULTURAL GATHERINGS The opportunities agriculturists have of visiting museums. to study insect pests are necessarily limited, and not every farmer finds time to look through the many bulletins and other publications so freely dis- tributed, or, if one has a few hours, the desirable article can not always be found. iter all, the true way to learn is to see the creatures themselves, preferably living but much better dead than not at all, and to inspect their work. The observations of most growers are usually confined to the field and are limited to the destructive stage, the round of life being but partly understood. It is believed that a properly arranged biologic collection, representing the various stages of the principal insect pests, their work and any peculiarities they possess, will do much to increase the interest in insects, and should promote their more general study in the field, thus leading to their better control. As museums are few and widely scattered, one way to bring about this very desirable end is found in carrying small exhibits to places where the classes to be benefited assemble, viz: agricultural fairs, farmers’ institutes, grange meetings and ' similar gatherings. The interest manifested in the initial exhibit prepared for the state fair, held at Syracuse, Sep. 4-9 and subsequently shown at the Oswego county fair, held at Oswego Falls, Sep. 12-15 demonstrates the value of this work. The collection, contained in 12 glass covered cases, each 3X16X19 inches, consisted of over roo species of the more injurious and more beneficial insects. ° The cases were arranged on a special table and were surrounded most of the time by a group deeply interested in learn- ing about the common pests they had been obliged to fight so long. At the state fair nearly 2000 descriptive catalogues were distributed to those showing marked interest in the collection, and this number repre- sents only a small proportion of those who looked at the collection, for 576 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM many, knowing little or nothing of its nature, were content with a glance or two. At the Oswego county fair the interest was if anything more marked. There was in constant attendance at each fair a member of the official force for the purpose of answering questions and explaining the more important features of the collection. Thus information was dis- seminated through the examination of insects and their work and by personal explanations, and all was supplemented by the distribution of a small catalogue giving in brief form the more striking characteristics of the insect and in a word outlining the method of keeping it in check, The following extracts will give an idea of the interest taken in this new departure: | This exhibit, which is made under the auspices of the University of _ the State of New York, is attracting much attention, both from the mere sight-seeker and from the practical farmer. Mr G. W. J. Angell, who is in charge of the greater New York exhibit in Machinery hall... said: “T trust that this exhibit of insects is but an entering wedge, and will be greatly enlarged at future state fairs. The heavy annual loss to the farmers and lumbermen of our state from the depredations of insect enemies runs high intothe millions. ‘The ability to differentiate between those creatures which are injurious and those directly or indirectly beneficial, and how best to prevent the ravages of the former, is as necessary to the successful farmer as the knowledge of the comparative values and the use of modern agricultural machinery. An insect, which today from its rarity is comparatively harmless to crops, may next year, from a sudden increase in its numbers, become a most destructive pest, and only by a knowledge of its life history and of the critical stage in its development, when the proper insecticides are most potent, can the threatened danger be averted. The handy little pocket catalogue of the present exhibit .. . gives descriptions of some 75 of the commoner injurious insects with the prop- er remedies to be used against their attacks, and is one of the most valuable features of the exhibit. Some of the insects which are directly beneficial are also noted, such as the various silk worms, both native and exotic, and the ‘bees which carry pollen from flower to flower, without whose labors many of our most valuable plants would become extinct.” — Evening herald, Syracuse, 7 Sep. A new and valuable exhibit in Floral hall was a collection of 82 nox- ious and beneficial insects... probably the first attempt to bring the latest results of entomological science before the people at a state fair. The specimens were admirably arranged in cases, showing their succes- sive changes and samples of their work on bark, wood and leaves. They . were constantly surrounded by observers, many drawn perhaps by the star of the season, the kissing bug, Opsicoetus personatus, but many fruit and shade tree growers were specially delighted with this opportunity to study the life history of pests whose ravages have been so sorely felt. ‘The value of economic entomology can not better be made known than by thus bringing such exhibits before the people We trust that it may become a regular feature of future fairs. The exhibit has — REPORT OF STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1899 577 -already been asked for by the Oswego county fair. A neat little vest pocket catalogue of 28 pages briefly describes the insects, with treatment, which is worthy of careful preservation and study.—Country gentleman, 14 Sep. p.738 Another evidence of the value of the collection as an educator is found in the more recent request from F. E. Dawley, director of farmers insti- tutes, that these insects be exhibited at a number of institutes in connec- tion with a lecture. The catalogue is republished below in order to give a fuller idea of the scope and character of the exhibit. | FRUIT TREE INSECTS 1 Apple tree tent caterpillar (Clisiocampa americana).

Inner portions of bark and sap wood . filled with burrows. - Treatment: burn badly infested trees. 10 17 year cicada (Cicada septendecim). Slit and broken twigs with wilting leaves are characteristic work of this insect, but unless the trees are small not much damage is done. Prevention: avoid setting out trees in last few years before cicadas are due. : | 11 Apple tree bark louse (Mytilaspis pomorum). Bark infested with brownish scales shaped like oyster shells. Occurs on many other trees. Winter passed as white eggs under old scales, the young ap- pearing about June 1. ; Treatment: spray young with kerosene emulsion or whale oil soap solution. 12 Scurfy bark louse (Chionaspis furfurws ) > ine ' whitish, scurfy scales occur on the bark of fruit trees.

Small, greenish, hairy caterpillars webbing together terminal leaves. Treatment: pick and destroy infested tips. | 24 Eight spotted forester (Alypia octomaculata). Red- dish, black-ringed caterpillars about % in. long feeding on grape vine and Virginia creeper in spring. Treatment: handpicking; spray with poison. 25 White flower cricket (Oecanthus niveus) Series of punc- tures in twigs of various kinds are made by this insect for the reception of its eggs. Injury is usually too little to call for remedial measures, specially as the insects are predaceous and therefore beneficial. SHADE TREE PESTS 26 White-marked tussock moth (Notolophus leuco- stigma). Beautiful caterpillars having three black plumes, four yellow or white tufts, a coral red head, and body marked with black and yellow. Defoliate horse chestnut, elm and other shade trees.

Frequenting elms and maples infested by the pigeon REPORT OF STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1899 581 Tremex and occasionally found with the ovipositor stuck in the wood. The white legless grubs attach themselves to the borers and suck their life out. Zhzs insect should therefore be protected. _ 30 Cottony maple tree scale insect (Pulvinaria innumer- abilis). Under side of smaller limbs sometimes festooned with this cottony insect, though more frequently it occurs in small masses. Young appear in July. | Treatment: spray young with kerosene emulsion or whale oil soap solution. Brush or scrape off and destroy old scales. 31 Sugar maple borer (Plagionotus speciosus). Diseased or loose bark and exposed dead wood indicate the work of this pest. The grubs frequently cause serious injury by running trans- verse burrows just beneath the bark. The stout, black beetles, about 1 in. long with bright yellow markings, occur from June to August. © Treatment: burn badly infested trees. Dig out the young borers in the fall. Protect trees with carbolic soap wash from June to August. 32 Maple tree pruner (Elaphidion villosum). Small limbs of maple, oak and other trees nearly eaten off by an insect and dropping in September, usually contain the burrows of this species. Treatment: collect infested limbs on the ground and burn before spring. 33 Elm leaf beetle (Galerucella luteola). Irregular round holes eaten in young foliage followed by the grubs gnawing the under portions of the leaves, which then dry and turn brown. The yel- lowish, black-striped beetles, about ¥ in. long, appear in early spring and lay eggs in May. The grubs feed in June, changing to yellow pupae the latter part of the month. A second brood occurs in July and extends into September. Known in this state only on Long Island and in the Hudson river valley. Treatment: spray foliage of infested trees with poison, which must be applied to under surface of the leaf in order to kill the grubs. Kill larvae and pupae on and near trunks of the trees. 34 Elm bark louse (Gossyparia ulmi). Adult females in June appear like clusters of small lichens on the under side of the smaller limbs of European elms. Young emerge in July. Treatment: spray with kerosene emulsion or whale oil soap solution, 35 Elm borer (Saperda tridentata). Diseased or dead bark, and in inner portions white, flattened, legless grubs, which frequently 582 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM cause considerable injury. Beetles appear from early May till latter part of June. | Treatment: cut and burn badly infested trees. Protect valuable trees with carbolic soap wash during May and June. 36 Elm snout beetle (Magdalis barbita). Thick, fleshy, legless grubs working in inner bark of elm. Follows attack by the elm borer and occasionally is very abundant. Treatment: burn badly infested trees and keep others vigorous. 37 Fall web worm (Hyphantria cunea). Web tents in July and August inclosing leaves on the tips of branches, the eaten foliage turning brown. Attacks many trees. } Treatment: destroy webs and their inhabitants or spray foliage of affected limbs with poison. 38 Bag worm (Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis). Defoliated evergreens and other trees are found infested with curious cocoons or bags containing caterpillars in late summer and fall. Occur in vicinity of New York city. Treatment: collect and destroy bag worms or spray with poison. 39 Leopard moth (Zeuzera pyrina). Whitish, black-spotted caterpillar making large burrows in various trees. A bad pest about New York city. | | Treatment: dig out young borers, Kill’ others with carbon bisulfid. Burn badly infested trees. | 40 Bronze birch borer (Agrilus anxius). If injured bark is examined, a slender flat-headed grub will be found running burrows in all directions in the inner portions. White and other birches are attacked. Very injurious at present in Buffalo. Beetles appear in June. Treatment: cut and burn badly infested trees. GARDEN INSECTS 41 Colorado potato beetle (Doryphora t1o-lineata). Stout yellowish beetles with black striped wing covers appear in early spring, feed, and deposit yellowish eggs in clusters on under surface of leaves. The reddish, black-marked grubs also devour the foliage. Treatment: handpicking; spray vines with poison. 42 Squash vine borer (Melittia satyriniformis). Wilting of one or more runners is caused by a whitish caterpillar boring in the stem near the root. REPORT OF STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1899 583 Treatment: slit the softer, infested portions, remove the borers and cover the wounded part with earth. Protect young plants with netting. 43 Striped cucumber beetle (Diabrotica vittata). Yellow beetles about % in. long, striped with black, occur in numbers on cucum- ber and squash vines.

Treatment: spray affected plants with poison. 48 Flea beetle on sugar beets (Systena frontalis), Ragged holes and brown spots made by small, jumping, black, red- headed beetles about ;3, in. long. Treatment: spray affected plants with poison or bordeaux mixture. 49 Blister beetles (Epicauta cinerea, E. vittata). Feeding in July and August on the foliage of potato and other plants, cylindric, soft beetles about 5 in. long and black and gray, or black striped with yellow. 584 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM Treatment: as the grubs of these beetles are known to feed on the eggs of grasshoppers and are therefore beneficial, the adults should be destroyed, by spraying affected plants with poison or by beating the insects into pans containing water and kerosene, only when necessary, 50 Bumble flower beetle (Euphoria inda). Brownish mot- tled beetles about 5£ in. long feeding in ears of green corn, attacking peaches. Treatment: handpicking. 51 Stalk borer (Hydroecia nitela).

Yellowish bugs with four black stripes and about #, in. long frequenting various plants and injuring some considerably. Treatment: dust affected plants with ashes. Spray young with kero« sene emulsion. Cut and burn tips of bushes containing eggs. GRASS INSECTS 58 Army worm (Leucania unipuncta). Brownish, white- striped caterpillars about 2 in. long devouring grasses and allied plants. Treatment: confine by ditching, kill with poisoned baits. Prevent their occurrence by clean culture. 59 White grubs (Lachnosterna fusea, Allorhina nitida). Fleshy, white, brown-headed grubs severing grass roots and those of other plants. Allorhina occurs in vicinity of New York city. Treatment: spray badly infested areas liberally with kerosene emulsion just before arain. Dig and destroy the grubs. 60 Grasshoppers. A number of species attack various crops. Treatment: place poisoned baits near crops to be protected. HOUSEHOLD INSECTS 6: House fly (Musca domestica). Easily recognized as the common fly around houses. Treatment: exclude with screens. As it breeds in manure and gar- bage, keeping this material cleaned up or inaccessible to flies will reduce their numbers. 62 Bed bug (Acanthia lectularia), A flattened, reddish ins sect about ¥% in. long frequenting houses, specially those affording numerous cracks where it can find shelter and where uncleanliness pre- vails. Treatment: apply benzine, kerosene or other petroleum oil to crevices in infested beds. Corrosive sublimate may be used in same manner, Fumigation with sulfur is valuable wherever possible. 63 Kissing bug: masked bed bug hunter (Opsicoetus per- sonatus). A brownish or black insect about 34 in. long. It is attracted by lights, and its young, which conceals itself by a covering of 586 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM lint, etc. is said to have a partiality for bed bugs. Not usually harmful, though it can inflict a severe bite or “sting.” Treatment: screens should exclude it most effectually. 64 Buffalo carpet beetle (Anthrenus scrophulariae), Larvae easily recognized by their shaggy appearance, being provided with coarse bristles along the sides and at the posterior extremity of the body. The beetles are about ¥% in. long, black, marked with white and a red line down the middle of the back, widening into'three projections. Treatment: use rugs or matting in place of carpet whenever possible. Infested carpets should be taken up and sprayed with benzine and the cracks in the floor should be filled with plaster of paris before relaying the carpet. 65 Black carpet beetle (Attagenus piceus). Light brown cylindric larva with a long “tail” of slender hairs. The adult is a small oval black beetle nearly -#; in. long. This species has a decided taste for feathers. Treatment: same as for the preceding. 66 Little red ant (Monomorium pharaonis). Thecom- mon yellowish red ant about =3, in. long that frequents houses in such numbers at times. Treatment: destroy colony with carbon bisulfid when possible. Attract to sponge filled with sweetened water and kill the collected ants by dropping them in hot water. 67 Bacon beetle (Dermestes lardarius). Dark brownish beetle about 53, in. long with yellowish band on wing covers. Larva brown, hairy, about 54 in. long. Both adult and larva attack bacon, meat, etc. Treatment: cleanliness and excluding insects from the food. ~~ 68 Croton bug (Phyllodromia germanica). The smaller, light brown roach about 34 in. long found in houses. , Treatment: roach poisons, such as Hooper’s fatal food. Paris green with sugar has been used successfully, but ise a dangerous poison. Fumigate with sulfur where possible. Entice the bugs to enter vessels partly filled with stale beer, from which no escape is provided. . 69 Cockroach (Periplaneta orientalis). The larger dark brown species an inch or more long, found in dwellings. Treatment: same as for the croton bug. REPORT OF STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1899 587 INSECTS AFFECTING STORED GRAINS AND LEGUMINOUS SEEDS. 7o Grain moth (Sitotroga cerealella). A small caterpillar about ,%; in. long working in various grains and producing a whitish _ moth with a wing spread of a little over % in. Treatment: fumigate infested grain with carbon bisulfid and treat suspected granaries in the same manner. 71 Saw toothed grain beetle (Silvanus surinamensis). A small, brown, slender beetle about % in: long found infesting cereals and dried food products. ‘Treatment: fumigate infested cereals with carbon bisulfid and allow none of its food to lie long undisturbed. 72 Indian meal moth (Plodia interpunctella). Whitish caterpillar living in indian meal and other cereals and fastening the par- ticles of grain together with a web. Moth with the outer two thirds of fore wings reddish brown, the inner portion and hind wings light gray. Treatment: fumigate infested food with carbon bisulfid. 73 Confused flour beetle (Tribolium confusum). A rather stout, shining, reddish brown beetle about ,8, in long. Very pro- lific and frequently causes considerable injury. Treatment: fumigate with carbon bisulfid and clean infested localities. 74 Bean weevil (Bruchus obtectus). Small grayish brown beetles about 1% in. long breeding in dry beans and eating out numerous holes. | Treatment: fumigate beans in all. infested localities with carbon bisulfid as soon as threshed. 75 Pea weevil (Bruchus pisorum). Brownish or black beetles with indistinct white markings, about ,*, in. long, infesting peas. Treatment: same as for bean weevil. BENEFICIAL INSECTS 46 Silk worm (Bombyx mori). Showing eggs, larva, single and double cocoons, those from which moths have emerged, one from which the silk has been reeled, male and female moths, raw silk; also several other species of silk-producing moths. 77 Pollen carriers. A great many insects convey pollen from flower to flower and in certain cases there are some very interesting adaptations. Some of the more common pollen carriers are honey bees, 588 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM bumble or humble bees, other bees, wasps, flower or Syrphus flies and many others. ay) 78 Lady bugs. Certain species are valuable agents in controlling plant lice, which they and their young feed on. Some forms prey on scale insects. | 79 Soldier beetles (Chauliognathus species). The beetles are among the pollen carriers and the larvae prey on the worm of the codling moth. 80 Syrphus flies. The adults are usually seen among flowers, but the work of their frequently brightly colored larvae in reducing the number of plant lice is not so well known. ‘These beneficial maggots are nearly conical and may be found among colonies of plant lice. 81 Spined soldier bug (Podisus spinosus). Represents a number of species which prey on other insects. This one feeds on a number of common pests, such as the potato beetle, elm leaf beetle and asparagus beetle grubs. 82 Red tailed Tachina fly (Winthemia 4-pustulata). Valuable parasite of army worm, tent caterpillar and several other pests. LIST OF PUBLICATIONS OF THE ENTOMOLOGIST The following is a list of the principal publications of the entomologist during the year 1899. 95 are named, with title,’ place and time of publication and a summary of the contents of each. Volume and page numbers are separated by a colon, the first superior figure tells the column, and the second the exact place in the column in ninths; e. g. 63 : 993" means vol. 63, p. 993, column 2, beginning in the third ninth, i. e. about one third of the way down: Scale on magnolia and Euonymus, (American gardening, 29 Oct. 1898, 19: 742%) Lecanium tulipiferae Cook and Chionaspis euonymi Comst. from Fishkill on the Hudson are identified and remedies given. Beneficial bugs. (Country gentleman, 3 Nov. 1898, 63: 868%) The nine pronged wheel-bug, Prionidus cristatus Linn. is figured, briefly described and its beneficial habits given. The masked bed bug hunter, Opsicoetus personatus Linn. is similarly treated and the protection of both forms is urged. 1 Titles are given as published and in some instances they have been supplied by editors. REPORT OF STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1899 589 ‘A pernicious elm borer. (Country gentleman, 3 Nov. 1898, 63: 869'*. New England farmer, 26 Nov. 1898, v.76 no.48 p.2) Describes a serious attack on elms at Berlin Mass. by the elm borer, Saperda tridentata Oliv. and its associates, Neoelytus eryth- rocephalus Fabr. and Magdalis barbita Say. Several pre- ventives and remedies are given. 2 Look out for canker worms! (Country gentleman, 10 Nov. 1808, 63: 894”) | Recent injuries by canker worms are mentioned and the life history of the lime tree winter moth, Erannis tiliaria Harr. received from Gouver- neur N. Y., is given. Hessian fly. (Country gentleman, 17 Nov. 1898, 63: 906%) Wheat turning yellow in Michigan is probably caused by Cecidomyia destructor Say. at Elm borer. (Country gentleman, 17 Nov. 1898, 63: 906*°—71") An unthrifty elm with loose bark, at Utica N. Y. is probably infested by Saperda tridentata Oliv. and species usually associated with it. Several remedies are given. Grape vine leaf hopper. (Country gentleman, 17 Nov. 1898, 63: 91331) Insects from Lahaska Pa. are identified as Typhlocyba comes Say, figured and briefly treated. Exterminating potato bugs. (Country gentleman, 17 Nov. 1898, 63: 913*1-14") In response to a report that the potato beetle is kept in subjection by its natural enemies at a locality in Lycoming co. Pa. it is stated that this is out of the ordinary experience. This pest has a large number of insect enemies. One of the more important, Lebia grandis Hentz, is figured and noticed briefly. It probably would not pay to distribute enemies of the potato beetle. Notes on some insects of the year in the state of New York. (U.S. department of agriculture, division of entomology. Bulletin 17, new series |Rec’d 5 Dec. 1898] p.16-23) The following species are noticed : White-marked tussock moth, Notolophus leucostigma Abb. &Sm,; elm leaf beetle, G alerucella luteola Miill.; cherry or pear tree slug, Eriocampoides limacina Retz; Byturus unicolor Say; maple ° tree pruner, Elaphidion villosum Fabr; Galerucella cavicol- lis Lec.; apple tree tent caterpillar, Clisiocampa americana Fabr.; forest tent caterpillar, Clisiocampa disstria Hiibn.; zebra caterpillar, Mamestra picta Harr.

(Country gentleman, 8 Dec. 1898, 63 : 966") Planting uninfested seed on fresh soil is recommended and the treatment — the entire crop in infested localities with carbon bisulfid is advised. Carbon bisulfid. (Country gentleman, 8 Dec. 1898, 63 : 966%’) Directions are given for treating grain with carbon bisulfid. Insects from lily pond. (American gardening, 10 Dec. 1898, 19: 842”) The dragon fly nymphs submitted with the inquiry are predaceous. More probably the depredator on the lily buds was a caddice fly. Controlling city pests.

The European Agrilus betu- leti Ratz. is mentioned. Everlasting San José scale. (Country gentleman, 15 Dec. 1898, 63: 993") The recent prohibition of the importation of American nursery stock into France is probably the outcome of resolutions adopted by the Society of agri- eulturists in France. Mention is made of the interest excited by Aspidio- tus perniciosus Comst. in this country and abroad. 4 Spray barrel on wheels. (Country gentleman, 12 Jan. 1899, 64 : 26°") Gives directions for mounting a barrel on wheels and suggests the use of a stone-boat or drag. . 14th report on the injurious and other insects of the state of New York for the year 1898.
