Merriztu Director EPHRAIM PorTER FELT State entomologist Bulletin 53 \ 171H REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST IQOI To the Regents of the University of the State of New York I have the honor of presenting herewith my report on the injurious and other insects of the state of New York for the year ending Oct. 15, 1901. General entomologic features. The forest tent-caterpillar, Clis- iocampa disstria Hibn., as was predicted last year, has, generally speaking, not been nearly so injurious the last season, though in places here and there in the state, it has inflicted considerable damage. Its abundance in orchards adjacent to woods badly infested the previous year was a somewhat char- acteristic feature of the attack this season. The common apple- tree tent-caterpillar, Clisiocampa americana Fabr., has also been abundant in different sections of the state, but it has not been specially injurious as a rule. The white marked tus- sock moth, Notolophus leucostigma Abb. & Sm., has been quite harmful to the shade trees of Buffalo. The destruc- tive work of the elm leaf beetle, Galerucella luteola Miill., has been continued in the Hudson river valley, and in its northern part this insect has succeeded in extending its range to a number of villages previously infested with very few or none of these pests. The fall web worm, Hyphantria cunea Drury, has been exceedingly abundant in portions of the southern part of the valley and near the western end of Long Island. The depredations of the Hessian fly, Cecidomyia 700 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM destructor Say, were so general and so severe as to inflict enormous damages, they having been estimated by competent parties as high as $3,000,000. A very serious matter has been the discovery that the notorious gipsy moth, Porthetria dispar Linn., has become well established in the city of Provi- dence R. I. Investigations made during the summer show that the pest already occupies a considerable area in and about that city. While this spread has not been directly toward New York state, it may well be regarded as a warning of what may occur - within a few years, and residents of the state are advised to keep a sharp lookout for the advent of this very destructive insect. Office work. There has been no relaxation in the pressure of office work, and, though there has been an apparent decrease in the amount of correspondence, all of the office staff have been obliged to work overtime in order to meet the demands of the situation. The determination of scale insects for the state department of agriculture still makes considerable inroads on our time. Most of this important and very difficult work has fallen on my first assistant, Miss Boynton. On the request of the commissioner of agriculture, made necessary by the position of the state entomologist of Virginia, who refused to accept any certificate unless it was vouched for by an official entomologist, a general statement was issued approving the work of his in- spectors. The time of the office force has been occupied to a considerable extent by the reading of proof and verification incident to the carrying through the press of two very important bulletins soon to be issued, one on the important scale insects of the state and the other on aquatic insects of the Adirondack region. A number of excellent lantern slides have been pur- chased, and some made from original photographs. These form a nucleus of what will soon become an excellent collection for use in illustrated jectures. The new cards for recording acces- sions to the entomologic collections have proved very satisfac- tory, resulting in a great Saving of time. 954 letters, 295 postals and 693 packages were sent through the mails during the year. REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1901 TOL There has been an unavoidable break in the office caused by the resignation of my first assistant, Mr C. S. Banks, who severed his connection with the office July 15, a particularly unfortunate time, since it is the season when insect activities are at their hight. Miss Margaret F. Boynton was promoted to the position of first assistant, and Mr C. M. Walker, who has been an ad- vanced student in entomology for nearly two years under Prof. ©. H. Fernald of the Massachusetts agricultural college and who was the special assistant in the preparation of the collection for exhibition at the Pan-American exposition, was appointed second assistant. Special investigations. Three lines of work mentioned in my: previous report have been prosecuted during the past season. 1 The series of experiments with insecticides for the control of the San José scale have been carried on in the same orchard as last year, and the results obtained in 1900 have been largely confirmed. Fuller details of this work will be found on sub- Sequent pages, 2 The study of forest and shade tree insects has been con- tinued, and many of the observations of previous years have been prepared for publication, and those of this season will be put in a similar condition as soon as possible. 3 The special study of aquatic insects, begun in 1900 has also been continued. It is noticed in the following paragraph. Entomologic field station. The work commenced at Saranac Inn in 1900 was continued at Ithaca N. Y. in cooperation with the Cornell university authorities. Dr James G. Needham of Lake Forest university, Lake Forest Il. was in charge of the work, as last year. It was largely supplemental to the studies of the previous season, and Dr Needham’s report will therefore include a rather full account of the damsel flies, Odonata-Zygoptera, and of the fish food material collected by him at Saranac Inn. A family of small flies (Chironomidae), very important so far as fish food is concerned, has received special study by Mr O. A. Johannsen, an advanced student at Cornell university, and his account will also be included in this report. 702 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM Publications. The principal publications of the entomologist, to the number of 62, are listed under the usual heading. The most important of these is the 16th report. Owing to the delay incident to printing, three very important publications have not appeared during the past year, though they are practically ready to be issued. They are: Museum bulletin 46, Scale insects of importance and list of the species in New York state, Museum bulletin 47, Aquatic insects in the Adirondacks (Dr Needham’s report for 1900), and the special paper treating of insects injur- ious to elm trees. The last is to appear in the 5th report of the fisheries, game and forest commissioners of New York state. These three publications are admirably illustrated by a series of colored plates. Extension work. Considerable of the time of the entomologist — and his former first assistant, Mr ©. S. Banks, was occupied by farmers institutes. They covered a period of 23 working days, during which lectures were delivered at the following 14 places: Preston Hollow, Durham, Hensonville, Lexington, Fleischmanns, Halcottsville, Grand Gorge, Walton, Gilbertsville, South New Berlin, New Berlin, Russia, Newport and Frankfort. An im- portant paper was read by the entomologist before the Massachusetts fruit growers association at a meeting held last March at Worcester Mass., and several addresses have also been given by him before various scientific and horticultural organizations. | Collection of insects. The additions to the state collection of insects have been very great. They may be estimated at approx- imately 16,000 pinned, labeled specimens, besides a great many in alcohol. the Fidias put, ase emis species of Colaspis was present in considerable numbers, and as it is well known as an enemy not only of the grape- vine but also of strawberry plants, it probably caused consid- erable injury. This species was also | taken in very small numbers on hard pine, Pinus rigida, and on willow at Karner N-Y. July Ss. \ Phe beetles tare | very general feeders, having been previ- ously recorded as feeding on such unlike plants as beans, clover, buckwheat, strawberry, potato and corn. ; Sais Round-headed appletree borer, Saperda veetie. “PPettee borer, adult candida Fabr. A number of severe injuries by this well known pest have been brought to notice during the year. It was quite common and destructive at Pittstown and vicinity, as reported by W. C. Hitchcock, and the reason for this is found in the fact that little or moe sattention hd Yd (De REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1901 is paid to its operations. It was not only seriously dam- aging young trees there, but it was commonly present in greater or less numbers at the base of the older ones. It was found quite abundant in an orchard of young trees in East Greenbush, where seven good sized grubs were taken from the base of a small tree not over 3 inches in diameter. There is no doubt that persistent and thorough digging or cut- ting out of these grubs and the use of a protective wrapper at the base of the trees are all that is necessary to control this pest. The cost of these measures is very slight compared with the value of the orchard. Red-headed flea beetle. Systena frontalis Forst. The destructive tendencies of this little black, red-headed flea beetle have been noticed in a recent report. This year it was received, in company with other insects, as a depredator on grapevines. It probably, as in preceding cases, had bred in weeds, and, when numerous, turned its atten- tion to more valuable plants. Forest * tent-caterpillar, Clisiocampa j ‘ disstria Hibn. This insect has been a most serious pest in New York state for the ; Fic.11 Red headed flea bee- last four or five years, and in localities here “¢ “uch enlarged (original) and there it has proved exceedingly destructive this sea- son. The outbreak of 1901, so far as could be learned, was much more limited in area than in earlier years and confined largely to sections adjacent to where the insect had been specially abundant previously. The caterpillar ap- pears as a rule to be unable to exist in large numbers in one locality for more than four or five years in gsucces- sion. This is probably to be explained by the local activity of natural enemies. Another marked feature has been the increasing predominance of tie pest in orchards. It is perhaps hardly necessary to add that most of the injuries in orchards could have been prevented by timely and thorough spraying. JourTer 736 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM Cenopis diluticostana Wilsm. The peach twig moth, Anarsia lineatella, is a well known boring pest of peach twigs, but the results of this summer apparently show that some other Species may be involved and produce very similar injury. The 22d of last June Mr C. H. Stuart of Newark N. Y. sent in peach twigs affected with what he thought was the common peach twig borer. On breeding it, however, it proved to be the above named insect, which was kindly determined by Prof. C. H. Fernald. The notes made at the time on the material sent are of interest and are here transcribed. All the buds had been killed on three or four twigs, 4 to 6 inches long, and those bear- ing green leaves also had masses of gum of considerable size. The young fruit had also been attacked somewhat. The bark and the sapwood under the masses of fresh gum had been seriously mined. In some places the mines were linear and in others were expanded and very broad. Mr Stuart subsequently wrote that there was hardly a branch of the tree that was not affected, and that many apricot, plum, cherry, apple, peach, willow and other trees for miles on each side were injured, though such an attack had not been previously noted. The trees recovered later, but many small branches were killed. This insect was described by Lord Walsingham in 1879 in his Illustrations of typical specimens of Lepidoptera Heterocera in the collection of the British museum, pt 4, “North American Tortricidae,” -p. 18. The specimen from which his description was drawn up came from the eastern states of North America. Prof. Fernald in 1882 redescribed this species as Cenopis quercana in the transactions of the American entomological society, 10:69. His description of the moth is herewith transcribed. Head, palpi and antennae, reddish gray in the males, con- colorous with the thorax and fore wings in the females. Thorax and fore wings dull rust red. Basal patch, median and sub- apical bands lighter in the males and inclining to yellowish on the costa with strong greenish reflections when seen in an oblique light, showing most strongly in the females. Fringes lighter. Hind wings and abdomen above, light fuscous, lighter beneath. Underside of forewings dull reddish, fuscous on the cell, the lighter markings of the upper side scarcely ee Benne. male 14 mm; female, 16 mm. REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1901 (or The specimens from which the above description was drawn were bred from leaves of oak by Prof. Comstock, probably at Ithaca N. Y. and from cultivated cherry by Miss Murtfeldt in Missouri. Prof: Fernald states that there are no other records concerning this insect; and, while most of the above recorded injury to peach twigs may possibly be the work of the peach twig borer, it is certainly of interest to know that this species also attacks the peachtree, and further investigation may show that it is responsible for considerable of the injury. The one bred specimen pupated in a leaf. The empty pupal case was about 2 inch in length, light brown in color, and the dorsum of each of the abdominal segments bore two trans- i] lea ey Btiall Fig. 12 Typhlocyba (sp.): aT. comes Say, female; bT. comes Say, male; ce typical form of T. vitifex; dlarva; epupa; fappearance of injured leaf; gcast pupal skins.

The cremaster is dark brown, blunt at the extremity and tipped with six or eight rather stout, though small, recurved spines. Grapevine leaf hopper, Typhlocyba comes var. vitis. This little leaf hopper is very familiar to many grape growers, and during the past season it has been exceptionally abundant in parts of the grape-growing districts of Chautauqua county. The foliage in many vineyards was very seriously affected, parti- 738 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM cularly the shaded, underleaves. The work of this species was less noticeable in vineyards where clean culture was the rule, although the pest was very generally present. Shade and forest tree pests Elm leaf beetlee Galerucella luteola Mill. This imported species continues to be a serious enemy of European elms in Albany, Troy and vicinity. The depredations of this pest have been so severe as to lead to the maintenance and operation of two power spraying outfits by the municipality of Albany. Two are also in operation by a private owner in Troy, where they are kept busy throughout the spraying season, each individual paying for the treatment of his own trees. The general condition of the shade trees in both cities is much improved by this work, and, considering all the trees in the streets of both cities, the results are decidedly in favor of Albany. This is probably due al- most entirely to the fact that it is much more economical to take a street at a time and spray all the trees than to go hither and f iss. 15 Bim leat eet, thither as desired by private persons. The dept agric. Yearbook Jays) former is possible only where the city under- takes to spray all the trees on the streets, while the lat- ter must obtain where spraying depends on the will and financial ability of the owner of the abutting property. It might be well to add that as a rule Albanians neglect the trees on their own premises, while people of Troy who have spraying done, invariably include the trees on the premises as well as those in front of the property. The elm leaf beetle has almost undisputed sway in the poorer parts of Troy, because the residents can not afford to have their trees sprayed; while in Albany, these, as well as those inhabited by the wealthier class, are treated, with most beneficient results, because it is in these poorer quarters that shade is most urgently needed. It therefore seems to me advisable to urge the prosecution of such work, when necessary, on municipalities, REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1901 739 rather than to allow it to depend on the enterprise of private individuals, solely because it means the greatest good to the greatest number at a minimum expenditure. This imported pest is slowly extending its range northward of Albany and Troy, and, in some localities where no spraying is done, it is this season proving a scourge to both European and American elms. The cost of spraying shade trees in cities and villages is a very important matter; and in a former bulletin! some attempt was made to ascertain the expense connected with such operations. Figures at that time gave the cost as ranging from about 15c to 56c a tree. Some recent estimates have come into my pos- session regarding the cost of spraying in Albany and its immedi- ate vicinity. Mr H. W. Gordinier states that in Lansingburg N. Y., where he had a contract to spray all the trees in the vil- lage and where most of the elms are very large, the cost per tree for one spraying averaged about 28c, while in Troy, where he sprays the trees of private individuals here and there over the city and is necessarily obliged to travel considerably to go from one lot of trees to another, the cost of spraying ranges from 50c to 60c a tree for each spraying. In both cases the rather more expensive arsenate of lead was used. Both of these figures apply to elmtrees infested with the elm leaf beetle; and, as all who have had experience with this pest know, it requires very careful and thorough spraying in order to obtain satis- factory results. The average cost per tree for spraying in Albany in 1901, using 5 pounds of Bowker’s disparene to each 100 gallons of water, was 22c, and the average number of trees sprayed per day by each power spraying outfit was 40. Two were operated under one foreman. However, it was found that, where the trees were small and of a nearly uniform size, such as Norway maples about 30 feet in hight, 180 trees could be Sprayed in one day. The village of Saratoga Springs undertook to spray its many large maple trees, ranging in hight from 20 to 80 feet, in 1900, eae estare mus. Bul’ 20; 1898. p. 21-22. 740 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM and for that purpose it purchased two power spraying outfits, each provided with an elevating apparatus such as is commonly seen on repair wagons of electric roads. With such an outfit it was found that the average cost per tree for each spraying was 17ic. Mr Wells, superintendent of streets, is of the opinion that this elevating apparatus is a great saver in time and money. It should be borne in mind, however, that the maple trees at Saratoga were not infested with the elm leaf beetle, but with the forest tent-caterpillar, and that spraying in the case of the latter insect is much easier than in the case of the former, and the cost would therefore be much less. | The work in Albany was done under the civil service regula- tions, and, owing to local conditions, the foreman was unable to exercise desirable selection in the choice of his men. Mr W.S. Egerton, superintendent of parks, in commenting on the situation remarks as follows: “An active energetic foreman, understanding thoroughly the requirements of the service, and having authority to select his men for special qualifications as to handling and climbing ladders and spraying properly, could cover much more territory, more effectually and at much less cost per tree, than the eight hour limit and the eivil service regulations permit under the present system.” He further remarks concerning the force employed in the operation of the power outfit, which in the city of Albany consisted ofa driver, a motorman and two spraying men: “The force used on the motors could, under private enterprise, be reduced to three men to each motor, the motorman and driver being one and the same person and two sprayers, making three operators.” It will be seen by the above that there is an opportunity even with these comparatively low figures to reduce still further the cost of spraying trees without marring the efficiency of the work. The trouble with a great many persons wishing to have spraying done is that they fail to see the necessity of insisting on thorough work, and they are very apt to consider the work cheap if a large number of trees are covered with the poison, whether or not the work be thoroughly done. As a matter of REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1901 TAL fact, such work may be very dear, because it may accomplish practically nothing. The public need to appreciate the fact that, unless spraying is thoroughly done, it is better not to attempt any such work. European willow gall midge, Rhabdophaga salicis Schrk. European willows are used to a considerable extent in and about Rochester and other nursery centers for the purpose of binding nursery stock into small bundles; and any attack made on plan- tations of young willows is therefore of some economic import- ance. Mr H. ©. Peck called our attention in November 1898 to some galled willows which he found in a small block owned by T. C. Wilson of Brighton N. Y. The insects live in the stems of the willows, and by the production of their galls made them brittle and unfit for tying purposes. eine Fic. 14 Venation of Rhabdophaga salicis, much enlarged (original) Repeated attempts were made to secure the identification of this insect from European authorities but, owing to rough usage and possibly inspections of mail matter, nothing more definite than a generic reference could be obtained, till fresh galls were sent in the spring of 1902 to Prof. J. J. Kieffer, the well known authority on this group, who kindly determined the species. These repeated failures rendered it advisable to characterize the insect, and the following description was in type before the determination was made and it is hoped that this study of a member of the genus Rhabdophaga may prove of value to those interested in this group. The extreme length of the adult female is about 3 mm. The eyes are black, finely granulated, emarginate anteriorly, con- fluent in the male and nearly so in the female. The antennae (42 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM are’ 17 jomted and in the male are about the length of the insect. The first joint is subconical, second ovoid and the re- mainder are pediceled, the pedicel being nearly as long as the enlarged part. The bulb of each segment is irregularly setose, with the hairs as long or longer than the entire segment. Cer- tain of the light dots are connected by lighter strips which appear on focusing to be slightly below the surface of the seg- ment.

The distended abdomen of a gravid female is dark red, the color evidently being derived from the contents. The abdomen of the male is nearly black, and the clasps are tipped with two very short, minute teeth. The puparium is subconical, about 3 mm long, with the anterior two thirds a dark straw yellow and the posterior third a dark rufous. The cephalic horns of the pupa are pointed, confluent at the base and of a hight equal to their greatest width. The promi- nent dorsal processes are slender, slightly crooked when ob- served from the side and with a length equal to about one third of the diameter of the pupa (fig. 15). The slender, setaceous pro- cesses are shown at plate 2, figure 2. The pupal mandibles are four toothed, tipped with light brown chitinous and the ventral tooth is nearly twice the size of the one next it which in turn is larger than the others. All curve some and taper to acute points. The larva is stout, orange red, with 11 easily distinguished Segments. It is about 3} mm long, and the “breast bone,” or sternal spatula, is nearly black, enlarged slightly at both ex- tremities and two toothed anteriorly (pl. 2, fig. 1). Fia@. 16 Caterpillar of carpenter moth (original) The reddish orange eggs are deposited on the leaves by cap- tive flies in irregular clusters or groups of three to six or more, frequently side by side. They are lanceo-elliptic in outline and about * of a mm in length. This insect produces many celled galls in the stems of small willows. At the time the insects appear, the bark over the ‘infested part turns brown or black and, the pupae working partly through a circular orifice, discloses the imago. The pupal case remains projecting from the gall, and usually there 744 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM are enough individuals in one gall to give an empty one a very characteristic appearance on account of the whitish, projecting pupal cases. A gall is represented at pl. 4, fig. 1. Adult flies were obtained from May 22 onward, from material received on the 10th, and on the 31st a parasite was bred. This was kindly identified by Dr Ashmead of the United States national museum as Tridymus salicis Nees, a species recorded for the first time in America. Tridymus metal- licus Ashm. was bred in small numbers from galls received in the spring of 1902 and Polygonotus salicicola Ashm. was reared in numbers. This abundance of parasites leads us to hope that natural agents will soon control this pest. Twigs received June 3, 1901, directly from the willow plantation i a Nae Pema iid NIN had disclosed some flies, showing that the period of emergence extends. over a number of days. Mr Peck further states that Mr Wil- son has been in the habit of opening cases of imported stock near the block of in- fested willows; so it would be comparatively easy for SS them to become infested. = SS = <== Ss a = Carpenter moth, Prion- especie tok patie elon een 1047 THOR oan.

Collective exhibit of insects Silver medals. Forest and shade tree insects; entomologic technical collection; wing frame exhibit showing work of ento- mologist. Several things were kept in mind in the preparation of this collection. It was designed primarily to be of the greatest pos- sible value to all those who are obliged to control insects or suffer financial loss; and, to accomplish this, insects injurious to the different crops and to various products were given a very prominent place in the exhibit. These injurious species are also represented, so far as possible, in their different stages, egg, larva, pupa and adult, and any peculiarities of habit (specially those bearing on the character of the injury) are illus- trated. Thus in looking over the exhibit of injurious forms, the visitor has before him an epitome of the life of the depre- dator. He sees not only the insect in its injurious stage but also in its other forms, and in a few moments he can grasp many of the essential facts in the life history of a pest. The illustrations of the work of the injurious species are frequently very helpful in enabling a farmer to recognize the author of what was to him previously a mysterious injury. A catalogue of the collection was also prepared, and its value much enhanced by the addition of references to the principal notices of economic groups and also of individual species, thus making it practically a reference book to the latest and most accessible accounts of the various pests represented, and, in addition to 826 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM this, brief directions are given for controlling the various forms. The enormous number of injurious insects, even in New York state, made it imperative that the exhibit should be limited to the more important forms, and that the insects selected be grouped in a manner easily comprehended by the general public; they are therefore arranged under various important food plants, etc., and each group receives special notice under an appropriate head. There are many who are interested in insect life for other than economic reasons. Students of entomology will find much of interest in the systematic collection, in which are native representatives of all the more important families, and begin- ners will derive much aid in the care of their specimens from a study of the technical collection. Those attracted by the peculiar or beautiful in nature will find much of interest in the collection of the work of gall insects, in the mimicry col- lection and in the collection of New York beauties, the latter being an assemblage of some of the more beautiful native but- terflies and moths. The wing frames and framed photographs present by means of statistics and illustrations some of the more important activities of the office. The entire exhibit can now be seen at the state museum, Albany N. Y. , Fruit tree insects (nos. 1-23). This collection of 23 different species includes some of the most important insect enemies of man, such as the codling moth, a species causing an estimated annual loss in New York state alone of about $3,000,000, the plum curculio, appletree borers (both exceedingly destructive), rose beetle, appletree tent-caterpillar, case-bearers and others, all insects causing much loss annually to fruit growers. Many of these pests have been repeatedly noticed in the reports and bulletins issued by the state entomologist, and, for excellent accounts of individual species, the reader is referred to the citations given in the appended catalogue. | Vine and small fruit insects (nos. 24-41). This group comprises 18 of the most injurious forms depredating on the grapevine, currant, raspberry and other small fruits. One of the most important species represented is the grapevine root worm, a REPORT OF THE STATH ENTOMOLOGIST 1901 827 beetle which has already caused considerable loss in the west- ern part of the state and one which threatens to do much injury in the future. The grapevine flea beetle is another pest which demands special mention in this connection. The grapevine plume moth, the currant sawfly and the tarnished plant bug are all familiar in a way to many growers, and yet few com- prehend fully the actual mischief they cause. Many of those included in this and following groups have been figured and briefly described in bulletin 37 of the New York state museum. Garden insects (nos. 42-68). This group is represented by 27 species which injuriously affect one or more of the crops com- monly grown in gardens. In it are found such notorious pests as wireworms, cutworms, cabbage butterfly, blister beetles, cucumber beetles, flea beetles, asparagus beetles, squash bugs, ete. Many of them are very common, and not a few are exceed- ingly destructive, in spite of the fact that in most cases there are a number of well-known methods of keeping these pests in control. Most of these forms are treated of in the reports of the state entomologist, and many of them in the state museum bulletin 37, cited above. Grass and grain insects (nos. 69-83). This group contains only 15 species, but in it are represented some exceedingly destructive insects. The June beetles, or white grubs, are probably as destructive as some of the species feared much more, but, as the injury they cause is usually a constant one, it attracts little attention as a rule. The army worm outbreak of 1896 is still fresh in the minds of many, while the Hessian fly has this year caused an estimated loss in New York of $3,000,000, or about half the crop. The chinch bug is another of the notorious enemies to prosperity, proving most injurious in the southern and western states, though in 1882 and 1883 it threatened to cause considerable loss in New York state. A very good account of this outbreak is given by the late Dr Lintner in his second report as state entomologist. A number of species of grasshoppers are also included, since they not infrequently cause great mischief in various sections of the state. 828 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM Household insects (nos. 84-99). The species represented in this group are but 16 in number, yet many a housewife would prefer to fight. two or three less prolific pests, rather than any one of several which may be named in the list. Recent investigations have shown-that not only is the common house fly a nuisance about the house, but also that it is a menace to the good health of the community. A reduction of its numbers is compara- tively easy. The cheese skipper, noticed in detail in the 12th report of the state entomologist, is of much interest to cheese makers. The croton bug, cockroach, carpet. beetles, clothes moths and other familiar pests in the home have been treated briefly by the state entomologist in the transactions of the New York state agricultural society for 1899. r Insects affecting stored food products (nos. 100-8). This small group, comprising but nine species, includes some very injuri- ous forms. The most important are, the grain moth (a species which has caused considerable injury to wheat on Long Island and adjacent localities last year and this), the bean weevils and the cigarette beetle. Most of these-insects breed readily in various dried food products and not infrequently they are sources of annoyance in the house. Most of these species have been briefly treated in bulletin 37 of the New York state museum. eet Beneficial insects (nos. 109-63). ‘This is an exceedingly import- ant group which is represented in the collection by 55 different species. A series of forms which carry pollen from one plant to another is shown in order to emphasize this function of insects. It may well be considered as one of the most important exercised by them. A few of the many beneficial parasites and predaceous enemies of insects are included, so that the farmer and others may have some idea of the appear- ance of beneficial forms. The mulberry silkworm and some of its allies comprise the portion of this group devoted to species of direct value or benefit to man. Scale insects, Coccidae (nos. 164-202). This exceedingly important group differs so widely from all other insects that its —— ee ee ee ee ee ee en REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1901 829 members were brought together in one collection, that the com- parative differences between them might be more easily seen. The 39 species represented include, among others, the two very common and injurious forms known as the appletree bark louse and the seurfy bark louse. The notorious San José scale insect is well represented, and its close allies, the English fruit tree scale insect, the cherry scale insect and Putnam’s scale insect, also find a place in the collection. These more important enemies of fruit trees have been treated of in considerable detail and admirably illustrated in colors in bulletin 46 of the New York state museum. Another very important scale insect included here is the elm bark louse, a species which is noticed in some detail and illustrated in colors in the 5th report of the fisheries, game and forest commissioners of New York. ‘Forest insects (nos. 203-51). This very important group is represented in the collection by 49 species, the result mostly of recent collections made in the state. Dr A. D. Hopkins, who is a recognized authority on this subject, estimates the total annual loss caused by insects in this country in forest and forest products at the enormous sum of $25,000,000. This is a group to which comparatively little attention had been paid in New York till the state entomologist took up the study of it several years ago. Among the more important forms represented in this collection may be mentioned the pine “sawyer,” a large grub which frequently causes much injury to logs allowed to lie for some time in mill yards. A number of species of bark- borers are represented. They are of special interest, because several of them are quite injurious to soft woods in the Adiron- dacks, while other species are killing pine in the Hudson river valley and on Long Island. The forest tent-caterpillar, the pest which has been ravaging our hard maples in recent years, is well represented in the collection, along with some of its natural enemies. A summary account of this insect, illus- trated by colored figures, has been given by the state ento- mologist in the 4th report of the fisheries, game and forest com- missioners of New York. 4 830 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM Shade tree insects (nos. 252-67). This group, illustrated by 19% Species, naturally comes very close to the preceding. It has been limited largely in the present instance to those species which are rarely of economic importance except when attacking shade trees; and, as these are among our most valuable assets, the group is of great economic importance. It includés such de- structive pests as the sugar maple borer, leopard moth, elm bark borer,elm bark louse, elm leaf beetle, white marked tussock moth, bag worm, and others, all very injurious to highly prized shade trees. Most of them can be controlled without excessive expense. For detailed accounts of these pests the reader is referred to the New York state museum bulletins 20 and 27, to the 12th report of the state entomologist and to his papers in the 4th and 5th reports of the fisheries, game and forest commissioners of New York. | Work of gall insects (nos. 268-97). This is a small collection of deformities produced in plants by 30 species of insects belong- ing to three different orders. It illustrates the effect a com- paratively insignificant insect may have on plant tissues, and in the study of the collection a number of interesting biologic problems are presented to the mind of the student. Systematic collection (nos. 298-931). This assemblage of 634 species occupies nearly one third of the entire space devoted to the display of insects. It is arranged according to what are believed to be the natural affinities of the species. That is, the more closely related are put next to each other, so far as possible. There is nothing very new in the collection, but it accomplishes its object in giving the casual observer some idea of the immense number and variety of forms found in the insect world. Such a collection can make no pretense to completeness, as will be seen at once, when it is remembered that our best authorities estimate that between one and 10 million different species of insects now exist in the world. It has special value, however, to residents of New York state, since the more common native forms are very fully represented. This is of particular advantage in showing to some extent how many insects occur in a locality, REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1901 831 and the sight of these should serve as a stimulus to the young collector. This part of the exhibit should also aid materially in the identification of native forms by comparison. The common names of orders, families, groups and species, where well recog- nized ones occur, have received a prominent place, so that the nonscientific may not be discouraged by labels bearing only unfamiliar Latin names, and those who will use only scientific names, will find them readily, even though written in smaller characters. A more definite idea of this collection may be ob- tained by the following figures. The bee and the wasp family is represented by 67 species, beetles, by 213 species, two winged flies (Diptera) by 55 species, butterflies, by 69 species, moths, by 106 species, true bugs, by 44 species (to which should be added the 39 species of scale insects put in a special collection) and the grasshopper family, by 20 species. ‘The smaller orders like the fleas, caddis flies, Thrips, white ants, stone flies, dragon flies, May flies, etc., are represented by relatively fewer species. This part of the exhibit contains by far the largest number of species, and, in order to get the most out of it, considerable time should be -_ given to the groups most interesting to the individual observer. Collection illustrating protective mimicry (nos. 932-46)... This is a small lot, comprising but 15 species. It is an exceedingly pretty assemblage of insects, and, though individuals may dis- agree as to the method by which such interesting adaptations are brought about, no one can fail to admire the collection as a whole and to be interested in the striking illustrations of pro- fective mimicry. New York beauties (nos. 947-61). This small assemblage of only 15 native species was brought together for the purpose of show- ing some of the beautiful forms occurring in our state. Technical collection (nos. 962-1021). This consists of over 60 _ different articles arranged to show the best methods and ap- paratus for the collection and preservation of insects. It is an exceedingly important subject to the amateur entomologist; and, as most of the articles exhibited are comparatively inexpensive, and as many homemade devices are included in the collection, 832 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM this portion of the exhibit can not fail to be of interest and of great practical value to those making collections of insects. | Framed photographs (nos. 1022-26). This series is largely his- torical in nature, as enlarged photographs of the two early official entomologists of the state and the residence and work building, or “ bug house,” of the New York pioneer in economic entomology occupy prominent places in the collection. While all of these are of importance, because the public should be interested in the features of prominent scientific men, the two. latter photographs are exceedingly valuable, because they con- stitute a graphic record of the conditions under which the study of insects. was first pursued by a New York state official. . Wing frames (1027-52). The tables and illustrations displayed on the wing frames give a general idea of the main activities. of the office. Besides organization, list of publications, table of correspondence, etc., most of the wing frames are occupied with some of the more important original illustrations prepared in the office, thus giving in a graphic manner some. idea of the number and variety of insects studied. Publications. This exhibit includes all of the more important publications of the state entomologist and his predecessor, the entomologist of the New York state agricultural society. The Fitch reports, as they are commonly termed, and the reports of the state entomologist contain many detailed, illustrated notices of our most important insect pests. The entomologic bulletins of the state museum, except a few of the later ones. devoted to the report of the entomologist, usually treat of a well related group and are as a rule of more service to the practical, non-entomologic person than independent notices in various reports or in separate bulletins. The reference to the more accessible, important notices of injurious insects listed in the appended catalogue should prove invaluable in directing the general public to the desired information in these reports and. bulletins. : A copy of the catalogue is appended to this account and should be consulted for further information in regard to the collection. a REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1901 833 CATALOGUE FRUIT TREE INSECTS (1-23) General works on the group Fitch, Asa.
