. Annual report, including a report of the insects of New Jersey, 1909. THE INSECTS OF NEW JERSEY. 519 A. pyramidalls Wlk. A. fraxini Hy. Bdw. (Bt). ALBUM A Hy. Edw. Sure to occur in North Jersey (Bngelhardt). (Parharmonia) "New Jersey," the larva in ash SESIA Fab. S. bassiformis Wlk. Carlstadt, larva very abundant in iron weed (En- gelhardt); Staten Island. VIII (Ds); Merchantville VIII, 27 (Kp); Riverton VIII, 17 (Dke). S. tlpuliformis Linn. G. d., flies in VI, VII. The larva is the common currant borer, and I have found it or its work in all parts of the State. Where it occurs in harmful numbers, cutting out and destroy- ing the infested canes is the only remedy. S. bolteri Hy. Edw. Paterson, in the stems of willow, "Salix concolor" (Engelhardt). S. pictipes G. & R. Garret Mt, Paterson VI, 2, larva in chestnut (Gr); Staten Island VI, VII (Ds); Elizabeth VII (Bz); New Brunswick, Riverton, Hammonton (Coll); Wenonah V, 30 (Dke). The larva bores in the trunks and branches of plum, cherry, peach and chest- nut, but rately does marked injury. S. albicornis Hy. Edw. Morris Plains (Neum); Ft. Lee, Paterson (En- gelhardt) ; Newark V, VI (div); the larva in willow galls and some- times in Carolina poplar. S. acerni Clem. Throughout the State; V- VII. The larva bores in the trunks of maples and sometimes ruins the younger shade trees; it is much more common, in my experience, in the more southern sections. S. corn! Hy. Edw. Hopatcong VII, 4 (Gr); Staten Island VI (Ds); Elizabeth VI, VII (Bz); the larva in maple. Mr. En- gelhardt finds it quite common locally, on city trees, and says that it affects the branches rather than the trunk. S. pyri Harr. Occurs throughout the State VI and VII. The larva infests apple, pear and mountain ash, and is some- times locally abundant, favoring apple as a food plant. It has never been really harmful in my experience. S* scitula Harr. Paterson V, 25, Jamesburg VII, 4 (Gr); Wenonah VII. 15 (Haim); Fig. 2_-.—^oVo ace
