Although Glischrochllus quadrlslgnatus was nearly as prevalent as in other years in corn fields in WISCONSIN, it caused less concern to picnickers than during 1961. A STAG BEETLE (Pseudolucanus capriolus) was collected at a light in Brandon, Hillsborough County, FLORIDA. This represents the first record of the family Lucanidae from Florida. This same species emerged in large numbers in RHODE ISLAND on a property in Warwick, Kent

A STAG BEETLE (Pseudolucanus capriolus) was collected at a light in Brandon, Hillsborough County, FLORIDA. This represents the first record of the family Lucanidae from Florida. This same species emerged in large numbers in RHODE ISLAND on a property in Warwick, Kent County, in raid-July. Other miscellaneous Coleoptera reported include BROAD-NECKED ROOT BORER (Prionus laticollis) in RHODE ISLAND where it was more numerous than usual in mid-July. BLACK BLISTER BEETLE (Epicauta pennsylvanica) also was more numerous than usual in southwestern MICHIGAN. In Little Rock, ARKANSAS, adults of a POWDER-POST BEETLE (Trogoxylon prostomoides) emerged from bamboo baskets imported from Mexico. A LEAF BEETLE (Calligrapha sp.) was commonly collected in coastal rice fields of TEXAS during August. Eradicative treatments for IMPORTED FIRE ANT (Solenopsis saevissima richteri), since this program was initiated, have been applied to approximately million acres. This program has prevented long-distance artificial spread, reduced popu- lations and protected both rural and urban areas from the damage and annoyance of this pest. Imported fire ant was found for the first time in the delta sec- tion of the State of MISSISSIPPI, in Washington, Issaquena and Sharkey Counties. Control program continues in that State and in ARKANSAS. New county records were made in the States of FLORIDA, GEORGIA and TEXAS Status of the Imported Fire Ant Other ants reported include LARGER YELLOW ANT (Acanthomyops interjectus) in RHODE ISLAND, where a spectacular, widespread emergence of alates was noted in Providence, Rent and Washington Counties.
