THE BLACK FLY OF CITRUS. 21 but the injury seemed to be due to neglect and to the fungus (Gloeo-sporium gloeosporoides), which had gained entrance to the treesthrough pruning wounds. At Corozal the injury seemed to bedue to heavy infestations of the purple scale (Lepidosaphes beckiiNewm.), and of the West Indian red scale [Pseudaonidia (Selenaspi-dus) articulatus Morg.]. These dying lime trees were not heavilyinfested with A. woglumi. In the authors work at Ancon, Balboa, and Cristobal, it was foundthat when citrus trees (lime, orange, and grapefruit) were heavily in-fested with the two scales mentioned above, they were almost invaria-bly only lightly infested with A. woglumi even though they were in closeproximity to trees heavily infested with this insect.
