Extract

A new member of the larch-feeding genus Anoplonyx has recently been described in Britain. The species, A. destructor Benson, has been common in British larch woods for some years without, however, causing any very serious amount of damage to the tree crops. Notes on the biology of the species, including larval descriptions, are given and the present forest status of the species is reviewed. Apparently unsuccessful attempts to achieve biological control by the release of Dahlbominus fuscipennis (Zett.) are recorded.
