Extract

Crioceris12-punctata, Linn, is an introduced species, and has been working northward from Maryland, according to Professor J.B. Smith, who some time ago informed me that it was present in New Jersey, and would in time reach Connecticut. The first speciment recorded from the State was taken by a student assistant June, 16th, 1902, who collected a single speciment on asparagus upon the Station grounds in New Haven. On May 23rd, 1903, I took male and female specimens from the same locality. We may now expect this species to become thoroughly established here as a pest of asparagus, beetle, C. asparagi, Linn.
