Girault, Engaged in Deciduous Fruit Insect Investiga tion for the Department of Agrlcul-turc. Introduction. Until recently tho only lopldopter ous borer of the peach known to be common and Injurious in the oast was the peach borer (Sannlnoldea exlt losa Say), an Insect well known to entomologists and fruit growers alike. About ton years ago In 1896 how ever, another somewhat similar borer, the subject of this paper, now called tho lesser peach borer, was mention ed by Webster as "tho peacL borer," and again, four years later, Smith re corded It as being sometimes found on tho peach In Now Jercey, though apparently it was not considered a pest of any importance. It was with some surprlso tr-.nt, In the Investiga tion of tho peach borer by this bu reau during tho past two years, this insect was diccovered to bo very abundant on peach In Maryland and Georgia, and also to a less extent in western New York and adjacent por tions of Canada, occurring especially in tho trunks of old or diseased trees. At first tho larva was confused with that of tho peach, borer, but dissim ilarities In its habits soon led to its recognition, which was confirmed up on rearing adults. Aside from Its be ing a practically un.cogn!zed enemy of tho peach, tho Insect is of interest from tho fact that it has borotoforo ovldontly been more or le?s confused with tho true peach boror, to which the larva bears great resemblance in general appearance. In subsequent pages there Is given as complete an account of the species as is possible at this dato. Illstory. Up to tho year 1900 the Bpecles un dor consideration hau" not beon treat ed as an Insect of special economic importance. Provlous to this time it lmd been known mostly as occurring on thoplura and cherry, and It had not boon sufficiently abundant to causo moro than occasional record of tho fact in tho llteraturo of economic entomology. For instance, it ia not mentioned in tho catalogue of the exhibit of economic entomology at tho Lewis and Clark contonnlal ex position, Portland, Oregon, 1906, giv en in bulletin No. 53 of this bureau. It hau boon llstod several times, how ever, as occurring on plumls and cher ries, and in the following cases has oeen mentioned especially in respect to its injury to these plants: Kellicott reported serious Injury, in some in- stances, to plums in New York state in 1881, but Smith, nine years later (1890) stated that it was rare in New Jersey. In 1892 Kollogs report ed serious injury to cherries In Ohio. In 1899 Lugger thought the Insect was increasing In Minnesota. Finally, in 190C, Quintp.nco reported It as very abundant In Georgia, causing material injury to peach trees. Original Description; Scientific Name. The Insect was first described as new to science In 1868 by Groto and Robinson, from adults captured in the "Atlantic district (Pennsylva nia). It was given tho specific namo plctlpes and placed In tho genus Ae geria of Fabrlcus. In 1881 It was described as new by Henry Edwards under the name of Aegeria Inusltata, from specimens obtained In tho White mountains, New Hampshire, and at Andovor, Mass. Twelve years later Beutenmuller (1893) established in usltata Hy. Edwards, as a synonym of plctlpes. In tho meantime Smith (1890) had removed tho species plc tlpes to the genuB Sesla of Fabrlcus, which removal was accopted later by Beutenmuller (1896), 1897) and Dyar (1902). Soon afterwards Hol land (1903) flm'Ing that tho namo Sesia had been restricted to a genus of the Sphlngldao by Fabrlcus, ap plied to the genus Hubnor's proposed namo, Synanthedon, which seems to be the proper courso In this case (p. LOOK 385). Tho Insect's scientific namo. evry day for something now.

U.B" cr8. on a variety of trees, It has become known by local or common names, de pending on its most common or most important food plant In particular lo calities. It was first found on plum, and hence was first called, by Dalloy In 1879, tho plum-tree borer, which has slnco been tho namo oftonest ap plied to It. In 1896, as previously montloned, Webster referred to it in Sannlnoldea exitlosa Say. This namo seems preferable to any of tho others, and more logical, because tho peach j Is the most Important food plant' which it attacks at tho prcsont time. Food Plants; Cliaractcr nnd Extent of Injury. It has already been indicated that the lesser peach borer has moro than ono food plant, a habit usual with the members of tho family to which I It belongs. Bailey, In 1879, first found it attacking old plum trees at Buffalo, N. Y., and also wild cher ries (Prunus serotinus and P. ponn- sylvanlcus). In 1891 tho same au-i thor stated that, in addition to its favorite food plant, It also attacked i wild black and led cherries at Co lumbus, O., and very probably would be found on tho cultivated cherry. Again tho following year (1892) ho' briefly states that it attacks both cul-' tivated and wild chorry In tho same' locality of Ohio. In 1893 Webster, reared tho Insect from tho black-knot fungus, PlowrlEttla morbosa, on chor-- ry and plum. Bentonmuller (1896), threo years later, gave two additional food plants, Juneberry (Amolanchlor canadensis) and tho beach plum (Prunus mnrltlinn). During tho samo year Webster (1896) recorded It on peach. Bentenmullor (1897) then added chestnut, and In 1899 Lugger added wild plum, making tho fol lowing known food plants to date: Cultivated and wild plums and chor rles, black-knot fungus on plum and cherry, Juneberry, beach plum, chest nut and peach.
