General
Bruchophagus funebris How., breeds in lucerne seeds, sometimes
damaging 50 60%. The adults emerge by gnawing small
holes through both seed and pod about harvest time. A second
generation matures in the seed in the spring. The spread of
infestation through the sale of infested seeds is common; it
is essential to determine whether the practice of cutt ing the
crop before the time for oviposition, as followed in Canada,
would be effective in Montana. Against Ariosoma (Schizoneura)
lanigerum Hausm., which is particularly injurious on
apple in the I it ter Root Valley, the parasite, Aphelinus mali
lald. , is to be introduced. Other troublesome pests included
Plutellu micuI ipennis Curt. , on mustard crops grown for seed,
and Frythroneura ziczac Walsh, on Virginia creeper (Partheno­
('issus quinqefoI in). A list of insects reported during 1929
and P930 is appended. (RAE]

Many of the pests observed in Malaya during 1934 have
already been not i ced. Cabbages were attacked by Plutella
maculipennis Curt. .lylopsocus capucinus F. was reared from
the saplings and Aylehorus man.cus BIdf*. from the trunks of
mahogany (Switn oia mahagoni). Pests of jelutong (Dyera
riostulita) were Mfrutonin muirginaitai limps. , which coused some
defol iation, Plntypus lepidus Chap. , which bored planks, P.
suffodcienrs Samps. , which bored the wood, and flat ocer-a ruhus
L., which oviposits on those parts of the trees from which
bark has been reigoved -r on which it has died. [RAE1

In connection with investigat ions in Victoria on the
biology of Kpiph.yns postvittana (WIk.) on apple, the larvae
of 1 1 species of' Lepidoptera ( including F. pos.tvittuina and
several other species of economic importance), belonging to
s i x fam i I i es were found on capeweed ( Arcl ot hoca cu I enduIn)
there in 1972. Keys are provided to the larvae of the II
species, wit.1 notes on their hiology and that of nine species
of parasites that were bred from t hem. Brnchymeria phyn
(Wlk. ) , a nat ive pa-asite of Plut/ !llt xi'losteIla (L,.) was
found parasitising Tebenna br,,dley'i Clarke on capeweed; this
glyphipterigid is not itself of economic importance. [RAE]
