In some cases summer squashes can be planted as traps to protect the late varieties. ALCATHOE Hy. Edw. A. caudatum Harr. Orange Mts., rare VIII (div); New Brunswick VII, 26 (Gr); the larva bores into the roots of clematis, and will occur wherever this plant grows. Mr. Engelhardt found it common at Bayonne a few years ago. PODOSESIA Moeschl. P. syringae Harr. Paterson V, VI (Gr); Newark V (Wdt); g. d. and locally not rare. The larva in lilac, ash, mountain ash and pear. In lilac it is not infrequently more or less destructive, and infested shoots when noticed should be cut out and burnt. MEMYTHRUS Newn. M. tricinctus Harr. (Sciapteron) Paterson VI, 5, Little Falls VI, 25, VII, 12 (Gr). The larva bores in willow and poplar, and Mr. Gross- beck has found it in the galls made by "Saperda ; Mr. Engelhardt has seen the workings of the larva in New Jersey and thinks it may be found almost anywhere if properly sought for. M. polistiformis Harr. "New Jersey" (Bt); Lakehurst VIII. 17 (div) Bamber VIII, 11 (Dke); the larva in the roots of wild and cultivated grape. This species is injurious in Virginia, and Mr. Engelhardt has found its work quite plentiful in an old vinyard at Lakehurst. It has not been found harmful with us as yet. M. scepsiformis Hy. Edw. Holly Beach VIII. 2 (Haim). M. simulans Grt.
