Syn. terrcUa Walker; .; li.'; UKutlU \ This insect, represented in Fit;. 241, the upon potatoes in Algiers and other Mediterranean countries have hern well known for many years, and which more recently CJUkcd much misichief in New Zealand and Australia, has quite recently found lodgment in California, having been appare imported from Australia. In Algiers it is known ;:i lc:*. to have destroyed fully two thirds of the polalo-crop. Il gerous and annoying pest. The best remedy for it is said to be the total de- struction of infected potatoes, and the protection of the stored tubers from access by the ovipositing females. Genus GNORIMOSCHEMA Busck (i) Gnorimoschema gallacsoh- daginis Riky. (Fhe Sulidago Gall- moth.) The man who has loitered by the waysides in the country must t>ften have noticed the manner in which the stems of the common golden-rod are frequently swollen and enlarged about two thirds of their length from the root. This swelling may be caused by the larvc^ of several insects, but one of the most frequent causes of the al>- normal growth is the larva of a little moth to which the above lian name has been given. The life- history of the insect was carefully worked oul by Riley, and from his interesting paper upon the subject. 4:?'^. o|>cninj; At •.Of ed.
