Cathartus gemellatus Duval.—This beetle is a predator and scaven- ger, its larvae being frequently found feeding upon boll-weevil stages which they must have killed. Opatrinus notus Say.—This beetle has been found by Mr. Harry Pinkus at Tallulah, La., to prey as an adult upon the immature stages of the weevil in fallen squares during July. It occurred very com- monly in the cotton fields. LEPIDOPTERA. Alabama aryillacea Hiibner.—For many years the ravages of the cotton leaf worm attracted almost as much attention in some portions of the South as does the damage by the boll weevil now. Various changes in the system of cultivation of cotton in the South have combined to reduce the damage done by this pest, and, moreover, a veiy effective method of controlling it, by the use of Paris green, was discovered. It is one of the striking occurrences in the history of economic entomology that this formerly dreaded pest is now looked upon by the farmers in weevil-infested regions as decidedly Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original United States.
