European Spruce Sawfly, Diprion hercyniae (Htg.)<br />

Population levels of this sawfly fluctuated considerably in <strong>1965</strong> compared with<br />

1964. Quantitative samples from spruce trees at seven widely-separated points<br />

showed that the highest population in the second generation occurred in Uxbridge<br />

Township where 21 larvae were counted in a 15 tray sample (Table 13).<br />

Introduced Pine Sawfly, Diprion sis (Htg.)<br />

A decline in population levels occurred for the second year at all sample points<br />

but one, located in Pickering Township. The most noteworthy decline occurred in a<br />

Scots pine shelterbelt at a point in Mono Township where three larvae were counted<br />

on a 15-tray sample in <strong>1965</strong>, compared with 199 larvae in 1964 (Table 14)., The<br />

eastern boundary of known distribution on the west side of Lake Simcoe was unchanged<br />

in <strong>1965</strong>.
