INSECTS INJURIOL^S TO THE LOCO WEEDS. 41 PLANT-BUGS. LEAFHOPPERS, ETC. Xmuerous plant-hiiirs, leafhoppers, iiiul lelated inserts were ob- served and collected at Hugo. Colo. As a consideral)le portion oi' these weie in the nymph or innnature stages, comparatively few were identified specitically. The list follows: Ali/diis ntriinift Say autl A. pluto I'hl., coreid plant-buss bearing some relation to the squash bujr, were anionji the number. The former has been recorded attacking Lima l)eans and cowpeas; hence, it is quite probable that both feed on loco and lupines, which are of the same botanical family. Diixijcoris hidiiili-s I'hl., another coreid of unknown habits. Cicocoris grisru.s Dnll.. a plant-bug of the family Lyg;oidR\ Hadronciiui iiulitaris T'lil.. a small capsid or leaf-bug. It infests Aniar.-intlius and beets. Probably accidental. Sfiiilirosomd atnitu I'hl.. also a cajisid, of unknown habits. l'liU(vnus hUiiicdtus Say. a cercopid leafhojiper which iirobably feeds (»n grasses. DcltofcphaluH fir.ml ox IIS Ball, a jassid leafhopper. firiichomorpJia dorsata Fitch, a fulgorid. Xabis ferns L., a predatory form. It doubtless destroys many of the otliei- bugs, especially in their innnature stages. MISCELLANEOUS INSECTS. Agromijzn (oicivcnlris Fallen, a small tiy, was reared from jnipje at the roots of Aragallus from Flagstaff, Ariz., received in April. in07. from Mr. Geo. Ilochderffer. We have office i-ecords of the rearing of this sjiecies from the roots of clover and from larvte found in burrows in the stems of Ambrosia. The fly was reared by the writer from mines in garden peas col- lected at Washington. I). C. August 10, 1904. The insects issued July .'iO. Pea leaves are. in fact, quite often infested l)y this miner. Unhiioini /«'(f/-^rr'//r.—December 14. 1901, Mr. D. P. Maruni. Woodward, Okla., wrote of an insect which fed upon the leaves of Astni- !iterous larva: these, however, were not reared.
