Extract

Euthrips tritici (Fitch.).— At Las Vegas, Hot Springs, N.M., on May 17, 1903, I found Ribes cereum, Doughl, presenting numerous flowergalls of rather pumpkin-like form and greenish-white colour, about 9 mm long and 8 broad. These consisted of the swollen and deformed flowers, the walls of the calyx being thickened and greatly inflated. I rather expected to find in them dipterous larvæ, but they contained nothing but thrips, which, I am sure, is responsible for the damage. After careful comparison with the published accounts, and especially that of Mr. W. E. Hinds, I am quite unable to separate the thrips from the well-known Euthrips tritici.
