LOCUST LEAF MINER (Xenochalepus dorsalis) caused considerable defoliation in TENNESSEE and was responsible for brown foliage on black lociist trees in southern INDIANA. How- ever, infestations failed to develop in RHODE ISLAND. Adults and eggs of IMPORTED WILLOW LEAF BEETLE (Plagiodera versicolora) were very abundant on willows in one area of Sussex County, DELAWARE, during late April, and adults were present on willow and mimosa throughout May and June in Kent and Sussex Counties, causing light injury. Unspecified WILLOW LEAF BEETLES occurred in all areas of CONNECTICUT during 1960. LARGER ELM LEAF BEETLE (Monocesta coryli) increased in intensity and in area of infestation for the second year in NORTH CAROLINA, with infestations reported from 5 counties in the southern Piedmont. Another LEAF BEETLE (Altica carinata) was observed for the first time in IOWA defoliating elm trees in one locality in Sioux City. Adults were collected during December hibernating under debris. ELM CALLIGRAPHA (Calligrapha scalaris) damaged foliage on American elms in south central, central and north central OKLAHOMA during late spring and summer, infesta- tions being somewhat heavier than those noted during 1959, especially in the north central area. The species was also present in southern, east central and locally in northern KANSAS. Also in Kansas, Chrysomela scripta complex defoli- ated many cottonwoods in southwest area, and Anomoea laticlavia stripped many honeylocusts and fed on other deciduous trees and shrubs. Because of this latter species, many nurserymen in eastern Kansas are no longer growing honey- locust. SMALLER EUROPEAN ELM BARK BEETLE (Scolytus multistriatus) was collected for the first time in OREGON during 1960 at Klamath Falls, Klamath County, on October 10. Subsequent limited surveys indicate the beetle has been in the suburban a
