Extract

As part of a comprehensive investigation on insects affecting the low-bush blueberry in New Brunswick, a study has been made since 1950 of the saw-flies present in blueberry fields in Charlotte County. Of the 19 species collected by sweeping, onIv three Neopareophora litura (Klug), Pristiphora idiota (Nort.), and Pristiphora sp., feed on blueberry; the remainder feed on other plants growing in or near the blueberry fields. Blueberry sawflies are common in New Brunswick but do not cause any serious injury. However, in Maine, Phipps (1930, pp. 107-232) reported complete defoliation of 50 acres of blueberries by sawfly larvae.
