ENTOMOLOGY 28 
22d REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1906 


To John M. Clarke, Director of Science Division 


I have the honor of presenting herewith my report on the injuri- 
ous and other insects of the State of New York for the year ending 
October 15, 1906. 

The season of 1906 has been marked by relatively few extensive 
depredations by insect pests. This is particularly true of the forms 
affecting garden, vegetable and other common farm crops. A 
remarkable large South American moth (Thysania zenobia 
Cramer) was taken in Albany the last of September. This mag- 
nificent moth has a wing spread of about 5 inches and its occurrence 
in this city is undoubtedly due to its having been brought north with 
a boat load of bananas or other tropical fruit. This capture is an 
example of the way in which insects are distributed through com- 
inercial agencies, though in the present instance it happens to be 
a species which can not sustain itself in this latitude. 

Beeiestece iusects. Phe San Jose scale is still regarded as a 
serious pest of the horticulturist, though the experience of recent 
years has demonstrated beyond question the practicability of keep- 
ing this insect in check by thorough and timely applications of a 
lime-sulfur wash. Our experiments conducted during a series of 
years show this insecticide to be fully as satisfactory as any other 
material which has been employed, despite the fact that a number of 
new preparations have been put on the market in recent years. 
These latter, though they possess certain very desirable qualities, 
have not been tested sufficiently so that they can be recommended 
without qualification. 

We find the grape root worm still abundant in the Chautauqua 
region and the present indications are that some vineyards may be 
seriously injured by its depredations within a year or two. This 


40 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM 


insect, as experience has shown, is more or less local in its opera- 
tions and general predictions regarding its work are in most cases 
rather hazardous. 

Shade tree problem. This phase of practical entomology has 
made considerable demands upon our time in the last few years. 
This has been due in large part to extensive defoliations of street 
and park trees in many cities and villages of the State by the white 
marked tussock moth, a species which rarely occurs in destructive 
numbers outside of municipalities and villages, and one easily con- 
trolled by intelligent effort. Whe elm leat beetle has) been pan 
ticularly destructive in the Hudson valley and has become estab- 
lished in cities and villages in other portions of the State. The 
work of these leaf feeders and their allies has created a great demand 
for information along these lines. A number of popular articles 
have been sent to the local press in various parts of the State, urging 
the adoption of comprehensive measures for the protection of trees. 
It is gratifying to state that considerable interest has been aroused 
and most commendable efforts made to protect the trees. The city of 
Albany, in its budget for 1907, has made provision for the employ- 
ment of a forester who will be charged with the general care of 
the trees. This plan, if carried out, provides for the protection of 
the trees from year to year — something which we have been advo- 
cating for some time. This is by far the most satisfactory way to 
care for street and park trees and we hope soon to see other cities 
and many villages adopting the same method. A special bulletin, 
treating of the elm leaf beetle and white marked tussock moth and 
giving summary accounts of each, has been prepared and will be 
issued shortly. More extended accounts of these and other insect 
enemies of shade trees are given in our recent publication on Insects 
Affecting Park and Woodland Trees [N. Y. State Mus. Mem. 8], 
a quarto work of two volumes comprising about 1000 pages, illus- 
trated by 72 plates (20 colored) and over 200 text figures. i 

Gipsy and brown tail moths. These two dangerous insects, 
thoroughly and widely established in eastern New England, have 
been the objects of considerable attention at our hands. The gipsy 
moth in particular is a most dangerous leaf feeder and has excited 
much interest. Owing to the fact that this latter species has been 
very destructive in eastern Massachusetts and 1s still extending its 
range, it was deemed wise to distribute in many sections of the 
State.a warning placard briefly describing the insect and the asso- 
ciated brown tail moth. This latter displays a marked preference 


, REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1go6 41 


for fruit trees and is very annoying on account of the intense irrita- 
tion produced by the urticating hairs of the caterpillar. The 
placard was supplemented by a bulletin [N. Y. State Mus. Bul. 103] 
giving more detailed information concerning these pests, with the 
result that many specimens of various insects were sent to the office 
for determination. The newspapers of the State cooperated most 
efficiently in disseminating information relating to these dangerous 
forms. It is gratifying to state that, so far as we have been able 
to discover, there is no ground for believing that either the gipsy 
moth or its destructive associate, the brown tail moth, has become 
established anywhere in New York State, though it would not be 
surprising were one or both of them to obtain a foothold in the near 
future. It is very important that our citizens should know about 
the gipsy moth in particular and be prepared to suppress the pest 
upon its first appearance. 

Aquatic insects. The earlier investigations of this group have 
been continued. Dr James G. Needham has an extensive mono- 
graph on the stone flies (Plecoptera) nearly completed. This im- 
portant work will prove an extremely valuable addition to our 
knowledge of a hitherto much neglected group. Dr Cornelius 
Betten, who has been giving special attention to the Caddis flies 
(Trichoptera) for the past five years, continued his studies last 
summer at Buffalo and Ogdensburg. These insects are an import- 
ant element of fish food and, in addition, are of considerable local 
importance in the city of Buffalo. They breed in such large num- 
bers in the rapids of the Niagara river that each summer the adults 
belonging to this group and the not distantly related May flies 
(Ephemeridae) swarm by the millions in portions of the city near 
the river front. The insects are so abundant as to prohibit out- 
door painting during certain portions of the season. These flies 
were one of the factors which led to the locating of the Pan-Ameri- 
can Exposition some distance from their breeding places. Dr 
Betten has given particular attention to this local phase of the 
problem and he is now engaged in preparing an exhaustive account 
of this very interesting and in some respects important group. 

Gall midges. These minute, inconspicuous insects, belonging 
to a family comprising a large number of species have been sub- 
jects of careful and extensive investigations by the Entomologist 
and his assistants. Certain forms, like the Hessian fly and wheat 
midge, are of prime economic importance. The former is well 
known as an exceedingly destructive enemy of certain varieties of 


42 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM 


wheat, and in 190I caused an estimated loss in New York State 
alone of $3,000,000. The wheat midge in earlier years was also 
exceedingly destructive to this important grain crop. During the 
last decade another member of this family, the violet gall midge, 
has become a dangerous enemy of the extensive violet-growing in- 
dustry, which has its most important center at Rhinebeck) eee 
The members of this group are better known because of the many 
remarkable vegetable deformities they produce, and the adult insects 
present some extremely interesting morphologic variations. 
Continued and thorough collecting of these forms has resulted 
in the accumulation of a large amount of material. A recent cata- — 
logue lists less than 150 species as being native to North America, 
whereas our recent work has resulted in finding in New York State — 
alone probably over 400 species, including therein representatives 
of genera hitherto unrecognized in this country, and presumably of 
others previously unknown. A clearer idea of the extent of our 
work may possibly be gained from the following: Mr J. R. Gillett, 
a medical student, was engaged during the entire summer in mak- 
ing some 2000 excellent microscopic preparations of these insects. 
These large additions to our collection will result in extremely 
important contributions to our knowledge of this hitherto relatively 
unknown group. The value of this work has been greatly increased 
by the enthusiastic and intelligent collecting of Assistant Ento- 
mologist Young and Assistant Nixon. 

Publications. The Entomologist has contributed numerous 
economic articles to the agricultural and local press. The report 
of the office for 1904, owing to delays, did not appear till early in 
the fiscal year, and that for 1995 was not issued till September 1906. 
A special bulletin giving a summary account of the gipsy and 
brown tail moths [Mus. Bul. 103] was issued in midsummer and 
the first volume of Insects Affecting Park and Woodland Trees 
[N. Y. State Mus. Mem. 8] appeared in February. Whe proot- 
reading and verification incident to the second volume going through 
the press has made large demands upon our time and it is a pleas- 
ure to state that this extensive work is now practically completed 
and will appear within a few weeks. Another important paper 
entitled Diversities among New York Mosquitos was reprinted 
from the Year Book for 1904-1905 of the American Mosquito Ex- 
termination Society. 

Collections.. Some exceptionally valuable additions have been 
made to the State collections aside from those secured in prose- 


REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1906 43 


cuting the special investigations mentioned above. A very fine 
collection of parasitic wasps (Chrysididae) was received from A. 
Mocsary, Budapest, Hungary, and a valuable addition to our 
Tachina flies from Dr Mario Bezzi of Italy. Some exceedingly 
desirable mosquitos from the south and southwestern part of this 
country, from Jamaica and the Philippine Islands were obtained 
through various correspondents of the office. 

The special collections made by the members of the office staff 
in the Cecidomyiidae, mentioned above, have resulted in enormous 
additions to this group. The work upon the State collections has 
continued with unabated vigor and the general condition of the 
collections has been much improved, particularly in the families 
Ortalidae, Trypetidae, Dolichopodidae and Ephydridae. The rep- 
resentatives of the latter groups have been determined by Assistant 
Entomologist Young. The midges (Chironomidae) have received 
considerable study at the hands of Assistant I. L. Nixon, who has 
also devoted much time to the general arrangement and classifica- 
tion of the Coleoptera. 

Office work. The general work of the office has been con- 
ducted about as in preceding years, the Assistant Entomologist 
taking charge of the correspondence during the absence of the 
Entomologist. The popular interest aroused in the search for the 
gipsy and brown tail moths in this State resulted in a great many 
insects being sent in for determination. This work devolved very 
largely upon Mr Young. A well sustained interest is shown by 
the correspondence: 2120 letters, 1284 postals, 215 circulars and 
3317 packages were sent through the mails and 208 packages were 
shipped by express. 

Nursery certificates. The practice of recent years has been 
continued and nursery certificates for persons desiring to ship into 
the state of Virginia indorsed by the State Entomologist upon 
the request of the State Commission of Agriculture. The fol- 
lowing is a list of firms to whom these nursery certificates were 
issued during 1906: The Rogers Nurseries, Stark Bros., Bryant 
Bros., George A. Sweet, Morey & Son, G. W. Whitney & Co., 
Sheerins Wholesale Nursery, all of Dansville; Wheelock & Clark, 
T. S. Hubbard Co., George S. Joselyn, L. Roesch, Foster & Grif- 
fith, F. E. Schifferli, all of Fredonia; Reliance Nursery Co., The

Rochester. 

Voluntary observers. These correspondents of the office have 
continued to send reports throughout the growing season and a 
number of valuable facts were brought to our notice in this way. 
These records increase in value with the advance of years. 

General. The office is indebted to Dr L. O. Howard, Chiet 
of the Bureau of Entomology, United States Department of Agn- 
culture, and to members of his staff for kindly determining various 
insects submitted to them throughout the year. 

In conclusion it may be stated that the enthusiastic cooperation 
of voluntary observers and others in touch with the office, the in- 
creased correspondence, and the great demand for our publications 
indicate a well sustained interest in this branch of scientific work.

REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1900 45 


NOTES POR THE YEAR 

The following summarized accounts treat of some of the more 
interesting forms observed during the season. An unusual occur- 
rence was the capture in Albany of a large South American moth 
(Thysania zenobia Cramer) which is represented in the 
natural size on plate 1. This species was undoubtedly brought 
to Albany with a boat load of tropical fruit. More common forms 
observed during the year have been grouped together under ap- 
propriate heads as in previous reports. 


Fruit insects 


Yellow-necked appletree caterpillar (Datana ministra 
Drury). This common leaf feeder is more or less abundant in 
orchards from year to year, and during the past season, caterpillars 
were received the latter part of July and throughout August, from 
various sections of the State. The young of this insect feed in 
clusters and, as a consequence, their depredations are more ap- 
parent than those of the more solitary feeders. Injury can fre- 
quently be prevented by cutting infested tips bearing clusters of 
caterpillars and crushing the pests, or recourse may be had to 
treatment with arsenical poisons. The sprayings ordinarily given 
for the control of the codling moth and early spring leaf feeders, 
are usually amply sufficient to prevent this species from inflicting 
any material injury. 

Red-humped appletree caterpillar & Ci Lut aoe. @ tue 1 nema 
Abb. & Sm.). This rather common leaf feeder is more or less 
prevalent in orchards of the State, and numerous specimens were 
sent from different sections from late July throughout August. It 
is very rarely that this insect is abundant enough to cause any 
appreciable damage, and ordinarily the sprayings given for the 
control. of the codling moth and the earlier leaf-feeding insects 
are amply sufficient to keep this species in check. 

Gipsy and brown tail moths (Porthetria dispar Linn, 
Mmeoctis chrysorrhoea lLinn.). These two insects 
have aroused considerable apprehension in New York State in the 
last two or three years. This is particularly true of the gipsy 
moth, since the automobile has become so popular, because experi- 
ence has shown this vehicle to be a most efficient agent in dis- 
seminating this destructive leaf feeder. This insect is steadily 
extending its range, having become well established in southern 
New Hampshire, made its way west in Massachusetts to Maynard,

Stowe and Marlboro, and a colony has been found at Stonington, 
Ct. The brown tail moth flies readily and has already become 
established in the Connecticut valley. There is no knowing when 
either of these insects may enter New York State, and owing to the 
importance of detecting their presence as soon as possible, it was 
deemed advisable to issue a warning placard, figuring in colors 
and giving the salient characteristics of each. It was distributed 
early in July. The placard was supplemented by Museum bulletin 
103, which gives a summarized account of both insects and their 
work. The reader is referred to this publication for further details 
respecting these dangerous pests. 

These two publications aroused much interest among all classes. 
The press cooperated in a most satisfactory manner, most of the 
local papers publishing extracts from either the placard or the 
bulletin, and some giving rather extended accounts culled from 
these publications. A large number of people were interested and 
many leaf-feeding caterpillars in particular were sent to the office 
for identification. Reports of serious injuries by supposed gipsy 
moth were published by various newspapers during the summer, 
but without exception it was found that the ravages were due to 
the work of some other pest and that it was therefore a case of 
mistaken identity. The efforts outlined above were supplemented 
by special inspection by Assistant I. L. Nixon, about the railroad 
yards of New York city and vicinity, Poughkeepsie, Albany, Rens- 
selaer, Karner, Troy, Watervliet, Cohoes, Schenectady, Mechanic- 
ville and Rotterdam Junction without finding any signs of these 
insects. This examination showed beyond question that so far as 
most of these yards are concerned there was very little opportunity 
for the gipsy moth, carried either as eggs or caterpillars, becoming 
established, as there was not much available vegetation in the near 
vicinity of most of the tracks. It is a source of gratification to 


state that, so far as known at the present time, neither the gipsy 


moth nor its associate, the brown tail moth, has become established 
in New York State. There is still great danger of these pests 
becoming established within our boundaries, and we would there- 


fore bespeak the further cooperation of all interested in the sub- 


jection of insect enemies, since a relatively small effort at the 
outset may prevent enormous losses later. 

A personal inspection of the infested region in eastern Massa- 
chusetts during July showed that conditions generally were much 
better than they were the preceding season, or in fact at any time 
within the last two or three years. There has been a most hearty 


REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1906 47 


cooperation between local authorities and State officials in Massa- 
chusetts, and as a consequence the numbers of both pests have been 
largely reduced, in spite of the fact that they were exceedingly 
abundant the preceding summer. Some extended woodland tracts 
were completely defoliated, and the control of the gipsy moth in 
such situations is still a grave problem. The federal government 
is cooperating with the state of Massachusetts in an effort to 
prevent the further spread of the insect as well as in studying its 
natural enemies. It is proposed to keep all trees near highways 
as free from these insects as possible, in order to prevent their 
being carried into new territory by users of the highways. This 
alone should reduce very largely the danger of the gipsy moth 
becoming established in other sections. 

A serious effort has been made to secure natural enemies. Dr 
L. O. Howard, Chief of the Bureau of Entomology, United States 
Department of Agriculture, has an extensive acquaintance with 
foreign entomologists, and this enabled him to secure the services 
of a number of skilled specialists for the collection and shipment 
to this country, of large numbers of parasites of both the gipsy 
and brown tail moths. Shipments were sent directly to Sup’t 
oe Gtkland and installed in the parasitic laboratory 
at Saugus. The insects were carefully bred out, the dangerous 
secondary hyperparasites destroyed and the beneficial forms reared 
in cages, and those abundant established under favorable conditions 
in the open. The results obtained during the season of 1906 have 
been very successful, in that several important natural enemies 
have completed their life cycle in this country and it now only 
remains to ascertain whether they can stand the rigors of the New 
England winter and multiply sufficiently to be of material service 
in checking these two pests. The outlook for this line of work is 
certainly very encouraging, and so far as controlling these insects 
in woodlands is concerned, it appears to be the most practical way 
of attaining this much desired end. 

Oriental slug caterpillar (Cnidocampa flavescens 
Walk.). This slug caterpillar was discovered in the vicinity of 
Boston at Dorchester, Mass. in 1906 and careful examination 
showed that it had become established over a territory about 2 
miles long and 14 miles in breadth. It appears to be a species 
that can sustain itself readily in this latitude, though, as our native 
slug caterpillars rarely become abundant enough to cause any mia- 
terial injury, it is hoped that the same may be the case with this

introduced form. This leaf feeder was probably brought into the 
country on Japanese nursery stock and Dr. H. T. Fernald, writing 
on the same, states that it has an extended distribution in the 
Orient, occurring in Japan, on the Island of Yezo and southward 
at least as far as Yokohama. It also occurs in (China meanges eur 
where it is very abundant, and it has been reported as far south 
as the Yiangtse-Kiange fiver, just north of the 20° on laminae: 
This distribution would indicate that the insect will probably be 
able to exist all over the United States except the peninsula oi” 
Florida, north of Mexico-and in southern Canada. Its eastern 
food plants are Celtis, birch, elm and Japanese persimmon. It 
was found mostly in this country on Norway maples, pear, apple 
and ener though it also occurred on crab apple, willow, black 

A birch, oak-leaved white birch, oak, 
American elm, Wahoo elm, black- 
berry, beech, poplar, mountain ash 
and buckthorn. This data is culled 
from a recently issued bulletin by 
Dr Fernald? 

The cocoon is an oval structure 
with peculiar broad white stripes 
[fig. 1]. One specimen was found 
on a recent importation of Japa- 
nese maples in a greenhouse at 
Albany, though there is no evi- 
dence to show that the insect has 
become established in the open in

See Oe have been informed of earlier im- 
portations of Japanese maples bearing similar, possibly identical, 
cocoons, so it would not be surprising were subsequent investigation 
to show that this slug caterpillar was already established in several 
widely separated localities. 

Scurfy scale (Chionaspis furtura,  itempe eee 
whitish, scurfy or chafflike scale continued abundant in the Hudson 
valley, being specially numerous in the vicinity of Annandale, where 
it caused considerable apprehension because many people mistook 
it for the San José scale, Aspidictus =p etme mone

and vicinity, only a few miles to the north. The scurfy scale, for 
some reason, has been abnormally abundant in this section, af- 
fecting mostly young fruit trees. Experience has repeatedly shown 
the practicability of controlling this pest by timely applications 
of contact insecticides, either whale oil soap or kerosene emulsion, 
the latter part of May or early in June at the time the minute, 
reddish young are crawling in large numbers. 


ean jose scale (Aspidiotus perniciosus Comst.). This 
insect is one of prime importance to the small as well as the large 


fruit grower. The latter, if he is to continue in business and 
has infested orchards, must find some way of controlling the pest. 
The small fruit grower will soon find his fruit of very little value 
if this insect is ailowed to breed unrestricted on the trees for a 
period of several years. The experiments and experience of the 
past decade have shown beyond all question the practicability of 
controlling this dangerous scale insect. The weight of evidence is 
decidedly in favor of employing a lime-sulfur wash which, if prop- 
erly prepared and thoroughly applied, will give fully as satis- 
factory resuits as any other preparation. Recent experience has 
demonstrated the absolute necessity of great care in the making 
of this compound and thoroughly emphasized the value of most 
careful application. 

Several experiments were conducted the past season, largely 
for the purpose of determining whether the lime-sulfur wash could 
be further modified to advantage. A lime-sulfur wash was made 
in the normal manner except that the ordinary burnt lime of this 
vicinity was replaced by a finely prepared hydrated magnesium 
lime known as limoid. The results were decidedly adverse to the 
employment of this material despite its improved physical condition. 
The reaction between the limoid and the sulfur was not nearly so 
vigorous, even when hot water was employed. 

The following formula was used with very satisfactory results: 
20 pounds of lime, 15 pounds of sulfur, 12 pounds of sal soda with 
50 gallons of water. Half amounts were taken, the materials mixed 
together dry, and then two pails of hot water added. The re- 
action began in about two minutes and was quite vigorous though 
no cold water was necessary to keep the mixture within a half 
barrel. The compound was very satisfactory and there was very 
little sediment. This wash was applied April 13 to both moder- 
ately and very badly infested apple trees. An examination May 
. 19 showed that this wash adhered fully as well as the others and 


50 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM 


the same was true the 31st. A few living scale insects were found 
only after considerable search, whereas on the trees sprayed with 
the other washes there was not much difficulty in finding live scales. 
October 15 the trees treated with this preparation had some living 
insects on the more inaccessible portions. ‘There appeared to be 
absolutely none on the accessible limbs. which were more thoroughly 
sprayed than those on the other side. The general results were 
very satisfactory indeed. 

Another formula, calling for 64 pounds lime, 5 pounds sulfur 
and 2 pounds caustic soda with 16 gallons of water was prepared 
as follows: The dry materials were mixed together and then two 
pails of hot water added thereto. The reaction was very violent 
and the liquid was coloured a very dark red. There was little 
evidence of the greenish monosulphid. The combination was good 
though there was considerable sediment. It was applied April 13 
to several plum trees which had badly infested limbs and on the 
16th it was seen that the application had been very thorough. An 
examination May 31 resulted in finding a few living scale insects 
on these trees without much difficulty, and October 15 it was seen 
that there were very few living scales —in fact the treatment was — 
very Satistactory. There was very little or no difference tom pe 
detected between these trees and those sprayed with the wash de- 
scribed above. 

The third formula, calling for 20 pounds limoid, 15 pounds sul-. 
fur and 6 pounds caustic soda with 50 gallons water was used 
in one half the usual quantity. The dry materials were mixed 
together and the reaction started with two pails of hot. water. 
It was prompt but very limited, owing to the fact that the limoid 
added very little to-its vigor. Phe boiling Seemed tom memaric 
almost entirely to the presence of the caustic soda. This prepar- 
ation, after standing about two hours, was a light orange color 
with a somewhat greenish tint. It kept hot during this time. There 
was much sandy sediment and considerable undissolved sulfur or 
sulfur-lime. Perhaps 1 pound of the entire amount was in this 
condition. This wash was applied April 13 to apple trees with 
some limbs badly infested. May 9 this wash did not seem to have 
adhered as well as the others, and om the 31st if) wasqmomauesy 
difficult to find living scale insects. October 15 the trees sprayed 
with this mixture had distinctly more living scale insects than those 
treated with either of the above preparations in spite of the fact 
that the infestation was lighter than the others. There is no doubt 


REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1900 51 


but that the limoid-soda combination destroyed many scale insects, 
though it was not as efficient as a wash where good quicklime 
was employed. 

A general survey of Mr L. L. Morrell’s orchard at Kinderhook 
showed that the same was in most excellent condition. This gentle- 
man states that he has less scale ‘on his trees than at any time in 
the past six years, and the excellent condition of his orchard sus- 
tains his statement. Mr Morrell is very well satisfied with the 
lime-sulfur wash though he is convinced that nothing but most 
thorough work, both in preparation and application, will give the 
desired results. 

The control of this insect in old orchards is a problem that 
demands further attention. Mr W. H. Hart of Poughkeepsie, who 
has had this scale in an orchard of large trees for some years, 
has succeeded in keeping the pest well within bounds provided 
he was able to spray one side with the aid of a favorable breeze and 
then treat the other when the wind was in an opposite direction. 
This treatment was very satisfactory for the lower limbs and 
branches, but with the apparatus at hand it was found almost im- 
practicable to successfully spray the higher limbs; consequently 
some of these were badly infested by the scale and eventually 
seriously injured. The tops of some of his large trees were mostly 
removed in the spring of 1905 before spraying was attempted, 
and during the summer they were in excellent condition. Certain 
other trees had the tops at this time in a very poor condition owing 
to injury by the scale and they were accordingly cut back in the 
spring of 1906 with equally beneficial results. It appears very 
probable that a large tree can be cut back to a greater extent than 
has been hitherto thought possible, provided some care is exercised. 
It may be that experience will show that this operation can be 
more safely performed after the upper portion of the tree has 
suffered somewhat from scale attack than if the attempt is made 
to cut it back while the tree is in unabated vigor. ; 

Several oil preparations, popularly known as “soluble oils,” have 
been put on the market in recent years, and some very sweeping 
claims made in regard to the same. One of the foremost of these, 
_ known as “ scalicide,’ has been under observation during the season 
and a rather large orchard of young trees in the Hudson river 
valley was sprayed with this material. A few of the trees were 
rather badly infested by the scale, but most of them were com- 
paratively free. An examination of the infested trees in October 


52 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM 


showed that a few living scale insects occurred here and there. 
There was also some evidence of oil injury, though it is impossible 
at the present time to state whether this is great enough to be a 
permanent detriment. This can be determined only by subsequent 
observations and treatment. Another tree in the central part of 
the State, most thoroughly sprayed several times with this prepa- 
ration, was entirely free from living scale insects though’ evidence 
of oil injury was a little more marked than in the first mentioned 
instance. ‘These preparations are worth experimenting with though 
conclusions should be drawn with the greatest care. A few years 
ago we were told that crude petroleum could be applied in a diluted 
form without injury to trees and for a while this was accepted 
as true, but the work of later years has shown this to be erroneous, 
except possibly under unusually favorable circumstances. The so 
called “soluble oils’? presumably differ not very much from those 
employed in earlier years, except that they have been brought into 
a very finely emulsified condition. There is danger that successive 
annual applications to trees may eventually result in serious injury, 
and a word of warning in regard to these preparations is therefore 
timely. | 

Grapevine root worm (Fidia viticida Walsh). This 
destructive enemy of the vineyardist continues abundant in the 
Chautauqua region and during the past season has been excep- 
tionally numerous in certain vineyards. It is, as experience has 
shown in the past, such a local insect that one part of a vineyard 
may be very badly infested and another portion less than 100 yards 
away comparatively free from the pest. These conditions render 
it very difficult to make any general statements concerning this 
insect. There is no question but that it 1s becoming more abundant 
in certain vineyards here and there throughout the grape belt and 
its numbers have increased materiaily in the past year or two in 
some vineyards on the hills back from the lake. The insidious 
nature of this insect’s operations renders it advisable that all growers 
should keep a close watch for the appearance of the pest in any 
numbers, and in case it becomes abundant they should adopt meas- 
ures for its prompt suppression rather than allow it to multiply 
unrestricted and perhaps cause irreparable injury. 

Steely flea beetle (Haltica chaly bea Ml), this peor 
owing to the continued cold weather of early spring retarding the 
grape buds just after they had begun to open, had an exceptional 
Opportunity to work and therefore caused more injury than usual. 


: 


- REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST I906 53 
This is due to the fact that its operations in the bud, destroying 
all the foliage and fruit which normally would come from that 
point, are particularly serious to the vineyardists since a very little 
feeding in this manner causes an enormous loss. This pest, as is 
well known, feeds upon the foliage in June as small brown grubs. 
Spraying at this time will destroy the young and largely reduce 
the numbers of beetles which can winter and attack the buds in 
early spring. 
eee siower cricket (Oecanthus niveus DeG.). The 
slender, whitish adults of this species are rather common during 
the latter part of the season and. the oviposition scars made by the 
females are frequently met with in twigs and the stouter her- 
baceous plants. Occasionally this species is so abundant as to 
cause considerable injury, as was the case in the vicinity of Ripley, 
N. Y., during the fall of 1905, though the injury was not observed 
till early the following spring. Mr F. A. Morehouse of Ripley, 
under date of April 30, 1906, submitted specimens of the work 
of this insect and stated that some vineyards were very badly af- 
fected, many of the canes dying from the wounds inflicted. The 
investigation showed that the greatest injury was in vineyards 
where an abundant weedy growth was present. The most effective 
method of preventing trouble of this character is clean culture, 
since flower crickets display a marked preference for weedy places. 


Garden insects 


Twelve spotted asparagus beetle (Crioceris duodecim- 
punctata Linn.). This species was.observed last July breeding 
rather abundantly on a small plot of asparagus at Westfield, N. Y. 
in association with the common asparagus beetle C. asparagi 
Linn. It was not quite as abundant as the latter form though 
specimens were easily found on the vines and a number captured. 
This more recent introduction is already widely though locally dis- 
tributed in New York State. 

Bark sided cutworm (Paragrotis messoria. Harr.). 
This rather common caterpillar was responsible for serious injury 
to primroses and other garden plants at Cold Spring Harbor, L. I. 
The attack occurred during the latter part of May. This cutworm, 
when full grown, is something over an inch long, dingy ash-gray 
in color, darker on the sides, with a dark, dingy dorsal line. Each 
segment is marked with eight small, black, hair-bearing tubercles 
arranged in-two gr6ups of four. The posterior extremity has a 
greenish tinge and the under surface and legs are somewhat lighter 
than the upper. 


54 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM 


This cutworm and its allies are usually noticeable in early spring 
because of their depredations on young plants. Clean culture is 
one of the best methods of preventing injury and in the event of 
their occurring in numbers, poison baits, such as fresh clover 
dipped in paris green water or dry bran mixed with poison may 
be employed to destroy the pests. One of the most satisfactory 
methods, if the area is not too large, is digging out the cutworms 
and destroying them. 

Shade tree insects 

Sugar maple borer (Plagionotus 
speciostis Say).  Whis “destamenmye 
maple borer continues its operations in 
the beautiful shade trees ornamenting the 
village streets in the State. It appears to 
be particularly destructive in the central 
western part, and our attention has re- 
cently been called to severe injuries which 
were observed by us some seven years 
earlier. The maples in the village of Le- 
roy, N. Y., appear to have been excep- 
tionally unfortunate so far as attacks by 
this species are concerned. A consider- 
able number of trees are infested by the 
borer and not a few have been severely 
injured. Earlier observations amd wos 
have shown the practicability of freeing 
infested maples very largely from this 
pest. Inhabited galleries should be care- 
fully investigated and exposed until the 
borer is found and destroyed, either with

eter (Author’s illustration) a protective material, one of the best of 
which is a thick, pasty mixture of fresh air-slacked lime and cow 
dung. A covering of tar or a cheap paint is also very effective in 
protecting the exposed wood from fungus infection and further 
insect operations. 

An exceptionaliy interesting observation on the work of this 
insect was made in connection with a recent trip to Leroy. Seven 
years before, namely, in September 1899, we photographed a tree in 
that village which had been badly injured by this insect and figure 
2 represents the condition of the trunk at that time. The tree 


. 


REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1906 55 


is about 18 inches in diameter and at the time the photograph 
was taken was in rather thrifty condition despite the fact that one 
side was completely girdled by the operations of this borer. It 
will be seen, by reference to the illustration, that the dead area 
had already commenced to enlarge and it was, therefore, not sur- 
prising on examining the tree in November of this year to find 
that the area of the exposed wood had greatly increased. The 
gallery shown in the figure was approximately 4 feet from the 
ground. At the present time the entire affected side [pl. 2], from the 
eround to 8 or 10 feet above, is dead, the bark has decayed or 
fallen away, and a large proportion of the magnificent limbs and 
branches on that side of the tree has disappeared. This illustrates 
in a striking manner the destructive nature of this insect’s oper- 
ations. It is very probable that an injury of this character could 
be helped by bridge grafting, and it is presumable that extremely 
beneficial results would have been obtained even if this means had 
not been employed until two or three years after the initial injury, 
provided the bridge grafts were inserted in rather vigorous tissues. 
It certainly illustrates the necessity of closely watching our valuable 
maples and early adopting measures which will assist in their 
recovering from such injury. 

We have shown elsewhere that the early work of this insect is 
readily detected by a careful examination in the fall, and the labor 
involved in cutting out and destroying the young grubs is very 
slight in comparison with the value of the trees. Systematic ex- 
aminations by one familiar with the early operations of the borer 
should be most productive of good results and we commend the 
adoption of such methods to all villages possessing maples badly 
infested by this destructive insect. 

White marked tussock moth (Hemerocampa leuco- 
stigma Abb. & Sm.). This leaf feeder, like the elm leaf beetle, 
is preeminently a city pest. The season of 1905 was marked by 
extensive injuries by this species in Buffalo, Lockport, Geneva, 
Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, Albany, Troy and Brooklyn. Some of 
these municipalities, as a result of popular agitation, adopted more 
or less effective measures for the control of this pest, and many egg 
masses were collected and destroyed during the early spring of 
1906. Some sections of certain cities were largely freed from the 
pest as a result, while in other places the caterpillars were exceed- 
ingly abundant and destructive during the past season. This was 
particularly true in portions of New York and Brooklyn, Albany, 
Troy, Binghamton and Buffalo. 


56 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM 


The caterpillars of this pest were so numerous on some streets 
and in parks of these cities as to be extremely obtrusive, occurring 
thickly on tree trunks, walks, fences and even the sides of buildings. 
Many of these places now harbor large numbers of the conspicuous 
white egg masses which, uniess removed, give promise of a repe- 
tition of this plague in 1907. A summarized account of this insect 
has been prepared and will appear in a special bulletin treating of 
this species and the equally destructive elm leaf beetle. 

A very interesting condition was observed in Capitol park July 5. 
Many of the trees were badly infested by the tussock moth, several 
being almost entirely defoliated, and that morning the ground was 
rather thickly strewn with leaves and leaf-bearing twigs. Most of 
the latter bore from three to five or six leaves, and the cut end had 
invariably been completely girdled for a distance ranging from one 
fourth to nearly an inch in length. This peculiar form of injury 
was first observed by the late Dr Lintner in 1883, who actually saw 
caterpillars engaged in the girdling operation. Subsequently ques- 
tions arose-as to whether the depredator was correctly identified. 
It is gratifying to state that the trees in Capitol park, mentioned 
above, were infested by practically no other insect, the tussock moth 
caterpillars were in several instances observed upon the falling 
twigs, and there is therefore every reason to believe that this larva 
was the author of this somewhat anomalous injury. The girdling 
was limited, as was also observed by Dr Lintner, to the new growth, 
and as the past summer has been exceptionally moist, it is barely 
possible that there is some connection between a rapid succulent 
ezrowth and this form of injury, since it is only occasionally that the 
larvae girdle the twigs, as recorded above. 

Spiny elm caterpillar (Euvanessa antiopa Linn.). 
This large, dark, red spotted, black spined larva is present in small 
numbers from year to year on elm, willow and poplar, in particular. 
Caterpillars were received from different sections of the State, from 
the latter part of July to the middle of August, and in most instances 
they were taken for the gipsy moth, Porthetria dispar 
Linn., an insect which has not become established in the State so 
far as known. This spiny caterpillar feeds in clusters and, as a 
consequence, 1ts operations are much more apparent than if it were 
less gregarious. It is quite susceptible to arsenical poisons and 
easily controlled by these means wherever such treatment is 
advisable. | | 

Elm leaf. beetle (Galerucella lnuteola Minis ia 


REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1906 57 


destructive enemy of European elms, in particular, has been abnor- 
mally abundant in certain sections. It was reported as being quite 
destructive at Oyster Bay, Ossining, Fort Edward and Ithaca, while 
personal observations show that it inflicted serious injuries to 
many elms in Albany and Troy. Most of the damage in the latter 
places followed the relaxation of repressive measures, due to the 
erroneous idea that the insect was well under control and therefore 
capable of inflicting relatively little harm. Trees which received 
timely applications of arsenical poisons were practically exempt 
from injury, while others, which in some sections were in the large 
majority, lost a very high percentage of their foliage, some being 
nearly stripped. The experience of recent years has demonstrated 
the practicability of controlling this insect in cities and villages. 
A summarized detailed account of this insect has been prepared 
and will be issued in a forthcoming bulletin. 

Fall webworm (Hyphantria textor Harr.). This well 
known species has been less abundant than usual as a rule, though 
larvae were received from different sections of the State from the 
latter part of August to the middle of September. The caterpillars, 
however, were in no instance excessively abundant. This species 
is easily controlled by removing the conspicuous nests and crushing 
the caterpillars within. them, or by timely applications of an ar- 
-senical poison. 

False maple scale (Phenacoccus acericola King). 
This species appears to be establishing a claim as one of the serious 
pests of the hard maple in New York State, since it has been quite 
injurious to trees in the vicinity of New York city, in particular, 
during the past four or five years. It was very abundant last 
summer at Port Chester, Middletown, and probably in other villages 
in the southern part of the State. It may be distinguished at once 
from the better known cottony maple scale by the fact that it occurs 
mostly on the foliage, the males making minute cottonlike cocoons 
on the trunk. These latter are frequently so close to each other as 
to give the infested tree an appearance of having been whitewashed. 
There are probably three generations of this destructive species in 
New York State. The young winter upon the trunk, beginning 
activities with the approach of warm weather, the second brood 
hatches in June and the third in August. The best method of 
controlling this species is in all probability by thorough spraying 
with a whale oil soap solution or a kerosene emulsion when the 
minute, yellowish young are crawling in abundance upon the leaves. 
This can be easily determined by a little observation. Whale oil 


58 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM 


soap, used at the rate of 1 pound to 6 or 7 gallons of water, or the 
standard kerosene emulsion, diluted with nine parts of water, should 
be effective if thoroughly applied. A wash composed of 3 gallons 
of water, ~ pound of hellebore and one teaspoonful of carbolic acid, 
applied to the infested portions of the tree with a whitewash brush 
in early spring, has been found very effectual in Illinois. It would 
not be surprising if a thorough application of a lime-sulfur “wash 
in early spring would be equally valuable in checking this pest. 

Juniper scale (Diaspis carueli Ware, Doz) awa 
scale has been brought to notice several times on account of its 
occurring upon juniper in various localities in New York State. Mr 
John Dunbar, assistant superintendent of the park, Rochester, 
N. Y., writing under date of April 16, 1906, transmitted specimens 
of this scale and stated that it was becoming a menace to the juniper, 
Juniperus virginiana glawea, and also oceumedsen 
Pinus aristata, the latter being a new food plant for this 
species. Subsequent observations by Mr. Dunbar showed that this 
insect began breeding in Rochester early in June, and that thorough 
spraying at this time with a 5% solution of scalecide was 
very effectual in checking the pest. This scale insect was noticed in 
1880 by Professor Comstock, who recorded it at that time as very 
common in Washington where it occurred on the following species 
of juniper and arbor-vitae: Juniperus chimemoioueae 
rigida, J. oxycedrus, ]. 4ap Omic a) eee 
munis, .J.- reresii, Biola’ “ore mtagepceeees 
Thuya occidentalis. Messrs Riley and )tewearndeene 
corded this species in 1895 from Jamaica Plain, Mass., where it 
occurred on Juniperus sphaerica, brouchtovequrom 
Germany some four or five years before. 

Elm bark louse (Gossyparia spuria Mod.). This 
species has been quite destructive to elms, particularly the Scotch 
elm, itt recent years. It is rather abundant and appears to be gener- 
ally distributed throughout the city of Troy, N. Y. The females 
had attained their maximum development early in July and the 
woolly matter excreted from the lateral pores made the insects 
rather conspicuous. This bark louse while preferring European 
elms is also somewhat abundant on American elms, though hardly 
so injurious to the latter. 

Forest insects 


White pine weevil (Pissodes strobw Beeman ime 
blighting work of this weevil on pine is well known, though full 


REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1906 59 


details regarding its life history are still wanting. These insects 
were rather abundant on hard pine at Nassau, N. Y. April 19, 
1906, showing that the beetles appear very early in the spring. 
Some were feeding, a few pairing, and it is probable that breeding 
begins early in the season and is continuous to a greater or less 
extent until late in the fall, though there may be somewhat larger 
numbers appearing in early spring and possibly another brood in 
midsummer. 

Hickory tussock moth (Halisidota caryae Harr.). 
The caterpillar of this moth is a very general feeder and specimens 
were received from the latter part of July to early in September, 
from localities in various parts of the State where the pest was 
devouring the foliage of a considerable variety of trees and shrubs. 
The depredations were in no instance exceptionally severe, and 
ordinarily repressive measures are not necessary. This leaf feeder 
is best controlled, when advisable, by timely applications of arseni- 
cal poisons. 

Black walnut worm (Datana integerrima Gr. & Rob.). 
Specimens of this caterpillar were received during the last of. July 
and throughout August, from different sections of the State. It is 
a more or less common species upon black walnut and butternut, 
occasionally becoming so abundant as to defoliate entire trees or 
groups of trees. It is possible to destroy many of the insects by 
cutting off infested branches while the caterpillars are still young 
and crushing them, or if the trees be of sufficient value, it is amen- 
able to arsenical sprays. Unfortunately these applications are not, 
as a rule, practical in the case of large trees. 

Witch-hazel cone gall (Hormaphis hamamelidis 
Fitch). The peculiar gall of this plant louse is ordinarily somewhat 
rare in the vicinity of Albany. The latter part of July and August 
it was seen that many of the witch-hazel clumps were badly infested 
with the galls of this species. They were so abundant on some 
shoots as to seriously injure and almost destroy the foliage. It was 
not at all difficult to find five to seven galls upon a single leaf and 
in some instances 20 to 25 could be counted.

This insect is undoubtedly a very serious pest of the extensive violet- 
growing industry in and about Rhinebeck. There must be close to 
$500,000 invested in this business and the gross annual income

therefrom is very probably an equal amount. A number of green- 
houses were visited in October 1906, and several of them showed 
serious injury as a result of the work of this pest. The crop, 
according to estimates of growers, is reduced in many houses from 
one third to one half, involving a considerable loss in the aggregate, 
and should this infestation become more general, the results may be 
very serious to the industry as a whole. 

An examination showed that the insect was distinctly local in 
its operations, since one half of a house 150 feet long might be 
seriously injured, while the other half was almost exempt from at- 
tack. Even in smaller houses there were distinct areas which suffered 
more severely than others, sometimes these being limited to only 
a square yard or two. The larvae at the time of our investigation 
had mostly disappeared, though in the Rockefeller house they were 
rather abundant. This is probably to be explained by the fact that 
the proprietors have allowed the temperature of their houses to 
remain rather high in the last few weeks, hoping to enable the 
plants in a measure to outgrow the injury earlier inflicted. The 
growers are almost unanimous in stating that when the temperature 
of a house can be kept down to 40 at night, not rising over 60 in 
the daytime, there is very little or no injury from this ‘pest, and 
examination of other houses where this low temperature had been 
maintained, bore out their statements. The flies, according to the 
growers, very rarely leave the plants and can be discovered only 
by flushing them with the hand. An examination showed, even in 
houses where there were flies on the plants and numerous larvae, 
that none were to be found on the windows, even in the sheds at 
the ends of the houses nor in cobwebs spun here and there about 
the structure. The insect displays a marked preference for recently 
opened leaves, apparently depositing its eggs in those which have 
just expanded fully and, according to the growers, leaves perfectly 
straight one day may be badly curled the next. They note that 
leaves can be curled in a few hours and are of the opinion that 
only a day or so lapses between the deposit of the egg and the 
curling of the leaves, an operation which protects the larva from 
most insecticides. Furthermore; several of them state that fumiga- 
tion with hydrocyanic acid gas apparently has no influence whatso- 
ever in destroying the larvae, though there is little doubt but that 
the flies are killed. There is a marked periodicity in the abundance 
of the larvae. Last summer they were first noticed in numbers 
early in July and then they became abundant again in August, and 
experience this year has shown that they may continue working in 


REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST I906 O1 


numbers even as late as the latter part of October. A number of 
infested leaves, portions of plants, were received October ro, through 
Mr Haines, from Rhinebeck. They were placed on soil the 12th 
and at that time no pupae were manifest. The first adults appeared 
on the 22d, others emerged subsequently to the 26th, when about 
four were bred out. Another individual was obtained November 3 
and lived to the 5th at least. Owing to the fact that the plants 
could not be well cared for, it is probable that the period of the 
appearance of the flies was somewhat abridged by the unnatural 
conditions. The data above shows that not over ro days are 
necessary from the time the larvae forsakes the plant till the appear- 
ance of the perfect fly and it may possibly be a little less. No pupae 
were observed on the leaves and there is no doubt but that the insect 
normally undergoes its final transformations in the soil. 

Remedies. ‘The parent fly appears to be closely limited to the 
piants about which it breeds and apparently very local in habit. 
This leads us to suggest that it would be advisable to take every 
precaution to avoid the introduction ‘of the pest with newly set 
plants, since a little effort along this line would result in com- 
parative immunity during most of the season. 

Another important factor in checking this insect appears to be 
keeping the temperature as low as possible in the early fall. The 
injuries were much more marked, for example, in certain houses 
where there was an attempt made to hasten the growth of the 
plants by keeping them warmer than usual, than in other houses 
where there was no effort made to force the plants. 

The experience of violet growers apparently indicates that fumi- 
gation with hydrocyanic acid gas is of comparatively little service 
in checking this pest. This is probably to be explained by the fact 
that they have been unable to give this treatment at a time when a 
majority of the flies were abroad and before a considerable pro- 
‘portion of the eggs had been deposited. It is presumably true that 
this powerful insecticide is of comparatively little value in killing the 
larvae, though it should be most effective in destroying the flies. 
Evidence at hand indicates a marked periodicity in the appearance 
of this insect and it is probable that a little observation would result 
in securing data which would enable a grower to fumigate at a 
period when most beneficial results could be obtained. 

Pemedical cicada (lLibicen septendecim Linn.). This 
insect, on account of its large size and its appearance in hosts 
at long intervals in different localities, is of great popular interest. 


62 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM 


Six broods are known to occur in New York State, the one appear- 
ing the present season being designated by Dr Marlatt as brood 8. 
It is the one known as number 6 of Messrs Walsh and Riley, and 
was confused by Dr Fitch in 1855 with a 13 year brood, which 
occurs to the south. This species has been recorded from two coun- 
ties in Massachusetts, it is listed from Long Island and occurs in 
several places in northern New Jersey and in central Pennsylvania. 
No detailed records, so far as we have been able to find, have been 
made of the occurrence of this brood in New York State, and this 
opportunity 1s taken to place on record certain facts concerning its 
distribution, which have been ascertained during the past summer. 

This brood appears to be limited very largely to a section of 
Suffolk county west of Riverhead and occurring, so far as we know, 
in a very few localities in the eastern part of Queens county. The 
list of localities compiled from various correspondents is as follows: 
Wading River, Port Jefferson, Saint James, Farmingville, Coram, 
on the road from Port Jefferson to Patchogue, Manorville, East- 
port, East Moriches, Center Moriches, Commack, Brentwood, Cold 
Spring Harbor, Laurelton, Huntington, Oyster Bay, East Norwich 
and Syosset. There is also a record of its presence in very limited 
numbers on Staten Island. 

There is a bare possibility that this brood also exists in the 
Hudson river valley, though we are inclined to believe that the 
record given below is based upon a mistaken identity in the species 
or else that they may refer to stragglers from brood 12, due to 
appear next in 1911. Mr H. D. Lewis of Annandaley iN yee ume 
resides in one of the strongholds of this latter brood, states that this 
summer he observed several pupal cases, which he is quite confident 
are those of the periodical cicada, though we would not be surprised 
if he had mistaken therefor those of the harvest fly, Tibicen 
{ibicen Linn., an insect which appears later in the season and 
at the time when the pupal cases were observed by Mr Lewis. 

This species is such a unique form among insects that consider- 
able interest has been aroused in regard to the possibility of its 
eventually being exterminated with the advance of civilization. The 
somewhat detailed records as to the abundance of this species in 
the various localities mentioned above, may prove of some service 
in determining this question in later years. The Brooklyn Daily 
Times of June 29 stated that periodical cicadas were present in 
large numbers at Wading River in the woodlands to the north of 
the Long Island Railroad experimental farm. The same paper, 


REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1900 63 


under the same date, stated that a party of Wading River people, 
who drove from that place through Coram to Patchogue, reported 
that great numbers of this insect were crushed in the wheel ruts. 
The underbrush and low trees were literally covered with cicadas 
to such an extent that “it was like grasshopper days out in the 
prairies; the buzzing was deafening, one actually could not walk 
along the ground without stepping on them.” The Port Jefferson 
Ficho recorded the appearance of cicadas in the vicinity of that 
village. These insects were reported by the same paper as being 
very abundant at Saint James, and Mr George T. Lyman informed 
me that they were present at Farmingville in the middle of the 
island. Mr G. W. Raynor of Manorville, in the center of the 
island, stated that these insects were abundant in that vicinity. The 
New York Tribune of June 5 stated that cicadas were very 
abundant about Eastport, and that millions of them were filling the 
woods north of the village with their song. “The pests are said to 
be more numerous than at any time since 1864, and in some places 
they darken the air, hiding the sun. Persons driving along the 
woodland roads have their horses and carriages covered with clouds 
of the insects. In some localities they are so thick that men have 
had to stop work.” The Brooklyn Times of June 6 stated that large 
numbers of the 17 year locust were seen in the woods north of 
East Moriches. The insect was also reported in large numbers 


from Center Moriches by Mr H. D. Smith. The Brooklyn Times_ 


of June 21 reports having received specimens of this brood from 
F. E. Nichols of Brentwood. There is a considerable area in the 
vicinity of Oyster Bay infested by this brood. The Enterprise of 
June 16 of East Moriches stated that these insects were drumming 
incessantly in East Pine Hollow woods and added that 34 years 
ago they appeared in the woods on the farm of Mr D. V. Horton 
and 17 years ago there were less of them than formerly. Through 
the enthusiastic cooperation of Mr F. E. Lutz, connected with the 
Station for Experimental Evolution at Cold Spring Harbor, we are 
enabled to present some detailed notes respecting the occurrence 
Saeebdisinsect in that vicinity, There is a colony near Cold 
Spuae) tlarbor at Laurelton, which does not extend west 
quite to Brookville. Another colony has its center near East 
Moriches, stragglers from this joining with the Laurelton 
infestation. About a mile south of Commack Mr Lutz found a 
pupal skin, and a few feet away, the battered remains of an adult. 
Careful searching failed to reveal others and none were heard. 


64 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM 


A half mile farther south he found another cicada, and shortly 
thereafter got into the scrub oak region where the insects were very 
common. He did not consider them abundant, though collecting 
was easy and males could be heard in one direction or another 
nearly all the time. This colony extends to the improved part of the 
village of Brentwood. The colony at Cold Spring Harbor occurs 
on the Alton and Miami stony loam. It appears to have very 
definite boundaries, which do not coincide with anything in 
plants, soil or physiography so far as could be determined. Respect- 
ing the occurrence of this brood on Staten Island, Mr William 
I. Davis states that in April he received a pupa found under a 
stone by a friend. Later in the season, namely on June 10, he heard 
a periodical cicada call in a tree at Richmond valley; it did not 
sing long and consequently he was unable to capture it. Seventeen 
years ago a pupa skin of this brood was recorded from Staten Island. 

This brood, as far as we can ascertain, does not occur on Long 
Island east of Eastport. There were no signs of its presence at 
Westhampton, and Mr F. A. Sirrine of Riverhead and J. W. Hand 
of Easthampton both reported no evidences of this insect in either 
locality. Furthermore, the cicada could hardly have been abundant 
on the eastern end of the island or some notice of its presence would 
have appeared in local papers. : 

It may be interesting, in this connection, to give some recent 
notes on brood 12, the largest occurring in New York State. It 
was exceedingly abundant at Annandale in 1896, and in examining 
an orchard October 9, 1906, several apple limbs were observed 
which showed plainly the scars made by this insect a decade ago. 
Many of them were nearly healed over, just an irregular crevice 
being the only external indication of the injury, while in a 
few instances the wound had been so severe that healing was not 
prompt, and as a result there is at the present time a considerable 
area of decayed wood with the oviposition scars in the center. The 
tissues growing around these wounded dead areas have enlarged the 
diameter of the branch considerably in one direction, and in not a 
few cases the limbs break off at these points of greatest injury. 
Mr H. D. Lewis, proprietor of the orchard states that the cicadas 
are so abundant in that section as to kill five year old trees and as 
a consequence he does not dare to set out young trees for some 
years previous to the time when a brood is due. He found during 
the previous appearance that rolling and harrowing the ground 
when the insects were emerging, resulted in destroying thousands.

He observed a decade ago a marked difference between localities 
cultivated as described above and other places where no attempt had 
been made to check the insects. So many were killed that he pro- 
poses to adopt this measure on the next appearance of this brood, in 
the hope of largely reducing the injury to his fruit trees. He is of 
the opinion that the adults are rather local, remaining as a rule 
near the place of emergence and rarely wandering away to a greater 
distance than 4 mile. 

Preventive measures. There is no very practical method of 
preventing injury by this insect, aside from refraining from 
setting trees a few years before a large brood is due in a locality. 
This caution is timely in respect to brood 12, due to appear in por- 
tions of Albany, Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Orange, Putnam, 
Richmond, Rensselaer, Rockland, Saratoga, Ulster, Washington and 
Westchester counties and on Long Island in 1911. We would not 
advise the setting of young trees in localities badly infested by this 
brood, after the spring of 1907, and in certain situations where the 
insect is exceptionally abundant, it will be wise to refrain from 
setting out any more fruit trees till after the appearance of the brood. 

Something may be accomplished, as detailed above, by timely cul- 
tivation and rolling, though :t is obvious that these measures can be 
advised only where there is liability of considerable injury to fruit 
trees, or where conditions are such that comparatively little addi- 
tional expense is involved, owing to the fact that there is need of 
cultivating the ground about the time the insects appear. 

More valuable young trees and shrubbery can be protected from 
injuries by inclosing them with netting, preferably the ordinary 
mosquito netting, during the time the adults are abroad. This 
measure is obviously limited in its application to smaller trees and 
shrubs, and, as a rule, will be adopted only to protect the more 
valuable ornamentals. 


PemoNirARY BENIOMOLOGICAL . SERVICE OF NEW 
YORK 2S Pawns 


Owing to a variety of causes the number of voluntary observers 
communicating with the office has been exceptionally small. This 
is due in part to relatively few important insect depredations, to a 
less of interest on the part of some, and to the fact that other 
matters in the office prevented giving this branch of the work more 
attention than was absolutely necessary. It will be observed, how-

ever, that we have reports from typical localities in the Hudson 
river valley as well as the central and western portions of the State 
and that these accounts deal with the more destructive insect pests. 
There is decided advantage in having such correspondents in various 
parts of the State, even though they may not make exhaustive 
reports, since they are usually available should any emergency arise, 
and this is of considerable importance when the army worm or 
some other equally destructive insect is abundant. 

Cattaraugus county [C. E. Eldredge, Leon] — The somewhat 
rare larva of the carpet fly .(Scenopinus “femesusa cee 
Linn.) was observed in some numbers under carpets—May 2. The 
silver fish (Thermobia furnorum Prov.) was stouncuam 
woolen cloth which had been eaten by it or some gther insect.— 
July 11 | 

[F. A. Fitch, Randolph]— Cabbage butterflies (Pontia ra- 
pae Linn.) have appeared in small numbers. Tent caterpillars 
(Malacosoma americana Fabr.) are scarce May 21 
Horn flies (Haematobia serrata Rob Desai 
become quite troublesome and cabbage worms are now abundant 
and injurious——Aug. 8. The black walnut worm (Datana 
integerrima Gr. & Rob.) was very abundant in this section 
and has defoliated a number of trees. The fall webworm (Hy- 
phantria textor Harr.) is also somewhat injurious.— 
Aug. 24 

Dutchess county [Henry D. Lewis, Annandale] — Oyster 
scale (Lepidosaphes ulmi Linn.) and (senmy sede 
(Chionaspis furfura Fitch) continue abundant and rather 
destructive, particularly on young trees. The San José scale 
(Aspidiotus perniciosus Comst.) is well established 
and injurious in the vicinity of Germantown.—May 14. The bud 
moth (Tmetocera ocellana Schiff.) is moderately numer- 
ous and green apple aphids appeared the past week. Cutworms are 
quite numerous and the small cucumber flea beetle (Epitrix 
cucumeris Harr.) is abundant. Rose beetles (Macrodac- 
tylus subspinosus Fabr.) and cutworms areuvem apse. 
valent May 206. Potato beetles’ (Dory phorayidiecim: 
lineata Say) have become quite numerous the past week and 
the same is true of the striped squash beetle (Diabrotica 
vittata Fabr.) and the cucumber flea beetle (Epitrix cu- 
cumeris Harr.). Scurfy and oyster scale continue abundant.— 
June 9. Aphids have been quite numerous in this immediate sec-

tion, though not so abundant as last year. Currant worms (P ter - 
Onus ribesii Scop.) appeared later than usual and in con- 
siderable numbers. Potato beetles are more abundant than for 
several years, possibly due to neglect in poisoning the vines, owing 
to the relative scarcity of the pest during the last two years. The 
Miegie Gr tne elm leaf beetle (Galerucella luteola Mull.) 
is apparent though not very marked.— July 3 

Genesee county [J. F. Rose, South Byron]— Asparagus 
BeeeseCCrTiGceris aspatagi, Linn.) appeared May 15, 
potato beetles (Dorvphora decim-lineata Say) the 18th. 
Seerent caterpillars (Malacosoma americana Fabr.) 
have been observed. Aphids are abundant on roses.— May 2. 
Cabbage maggots (Phorbia brassicae Bouché) are at 
work as usual; we have found that a couple of moth balls placed 
next to each plant when set, is an excellent protective. Asparagus 
beeties are very abundant and striped cucumber beetles (Diabro- 
tica vittata Fabr.) are numerous— May 11. Asparagus 
beetles are more abundant than usual and a cabbage butterfly 
(Pontia rapae Linn.) was observed May 23.—May 28. Two 
nests of fall webworms (Hyphantria textor Harr.) were 
Siseiyem ily ©. Potato beetles (Doryphora decim- 
lineata Say) have been rarer than in many years. Only one 
squash bug (Anasa tristis DeG.) has been observed. Cabbage 
worms are present in smaller numbers.— July 17 

Herkimer county [George S. Graves, Newport] — Tent cater- 
pillars (Malacosoma americana Fabr.) were first 
observed May 17 and a few nests were seen the following day.— 
Wayo2a. Cuttant worms (Pteronus ribesii Scop.) were 
half grown June 3. No potato beetles (Doryphora decim- 
lineata Say) have been observed. Horn flies (Haematobia 
serrata Rob.-Desv.) are quite abundant on cattle—June 5. 
These latter insects are reported by farmers as being generally 
abundant and very annoying to cattle. Cabbage worms (Pontia 
rapae Linn.) were rather numerous in early cabbage.— July 31. 
Fall webworms (Hyphantria textor Harr.) were observed 
ona plum. The black walnut worm (Datana integerrima 
Gr. & Rob.) has been very destructive to black walnut, defoliating 
many trees. Very few potatoes in gardens next to sod ground have 
been affected by wireworms.— Aug. 15. Yellow-necked apple 
worms (Datana ministra Walk.) are full grown and have 
caused considerable injury to the foliage. Horn flies continue

abundant and grasshoppers are numerous though they have not 
caused much injury.— dug. 28 

Suffolk county [I. E. Lutz, Cold Spring Harbor] — Cabbage 
butterflies (Pontia rapae Linn.) were first observed April 14. 
The brown and black woolly bear (Isia isabella Abb. & Sm.) 
has been observed crawling every month during the winter.— 
Apr. 19. Adults of the green striped grasshopper (Chorto- 
phaga viridifasciata DeG.) were observed May 2. The 
form infuscata appears to be relatively more abundant than 
usual. ‘This is more southern than the green variety. Possibly the 
warm weather had something to do with this though it is doubtful. 
— May 9. The dark-sided cut worm (Paragrotis messoria 
Harr.) has been quite abundant and destructive, in particular to 
evening primroses. The periodical cicada (Tibicen septemae 
decim Linn.) has appeared in this section May 30 

Warren county [C. L. Williams, Glens Falls] — Cutworms 
have been very abundant and tent caterpillars (Malacosoma 
americana Fabr.) more numerous than for several years past. 
The larder beetie (Dermestes lardarius Emm) hasbeen 
somewhat plentiful about houses.— June 3 

Westchester county [Frank R. Calkins, Ossining] — The elm 
leaf beetle (Galerucella luteola Mull.) has been more de- 
structive than in any previous year, owing to the utter lack of 


repressive measures. “ Nearly every tree in town has been com- 
pletely defoliated and now the second crop of leaves has been 
attacked and is nearly eaten by the young larvae.’— July 30 - 


Wyoming county | W. H. Roeper, Wyoming] — The first tent 
caterpillars (Malacosoma americana Pabr) were. on 
served May 12, though not in large numbers. The wheat sawfly 
(Cephus occidentalis Riley & Marl.) has been aumitciies 
considerable injury. The codling moth (Carpocapsa pomo- 
nella Linn.) has been rather abundant on apples, and canker 
worms are causing a great deal of injury — June II

EXCHANGE LIST 


A number of desirable forms have been added to the State col- 
lection by exchange with others interested in this branch of science. 
A preliminary exchange list was published in the report of this office 
for 1903. There have been extensive additions to our collection 
since then, particularly in some groups, and it is therefore deemed 
desirable to prepare a revised list, which follows;
