Abstract
The adults of Phytophaga piceae Felt were described (1) from shoots of white spruce, Picea glauca (Moench) Voss., collected in Manitoba by Swaine in 1926. Felt stated that the shoots suggested the galls of Chermes similis Gill., but he did not describe them. The life-history was unknown. Twigs of white spruce showing damage of a similar nature were collected by Swaine at Fort Coulonge, P.Q., in 1919, but no adults were obtained from this sample.Keywords
