Burnt pine longhorn (BPL) Arhopalus ferus (Mulsant) (Coleoptera Cerambycidae) is an introduced species sometimes found in association with export logs and sawn timber A rearing method was developed to produce larvae of a known age number and quality for control trials Growth of larvae from newly hatched to 5 weeks was measured on a standard cerambycid artificial diet and on modified diets Replacing pine wood with pine bark sawdust increased survival at 5 weeks from 23 to 76 and mean weight from 9 to 21 mg There were significant interactions between the influences of three factors (diet period of rearing initial larval density) on the weight of surviving larvae Individual rearing was preferred for convenience and a standardised method was used to rear 8740 larvae for disinfestation trials Establishment and survival to 6 weeks for these larvae was 97

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.
