Extract

A number of the bur-like fruits of Glycyrrhiza lepidota, a species of licorice native to Arizona and parts of New Mexico, were collected in the Mesilia Valley of the Rio Grande River, north of Las Cruces, in the fall of 1892. The following May, there were found issued from these burs many specimens of a Bruchid, which was identified at the Agricultural Department in Washington as Bruchus alboscutellatus, Horn. There were also many parasites issued, which were determined by Mr. Ashmead as Bruchophagus mexicanus, Ashm. I am indebted to Mr. Coville for the determination of the plant.
