Population development of the symphylan, Scutigerella immaculata
(Newport), was studied in laboratory cultures. Also symphylan
injury to greenhouse plants was investigated. Plastic polyethylene
containers partly filled with damp ground hemlock bark were used to
culture symphylan in the laboratory. Fresh lettuce food was supplied
to the cultures weekly.

A study was made to determine biological relationships between the garden symphylan, Scutigerella immaculata (Newport), and an entomogenous fungus, Entomophthora coronata (Costantin), which attacks it under certain conditions. Until this fungus was found to infect this pest, no organism which seemed to offer promise of control had been discovered. Symphylan...
Garden symphylans (Scutigerella immaculata Newport) are increasingly important pests of below-ground parts of over 100 crops in Oregon. The focus of our work was to improve S. immaculata management through 1) development of a bait sampling method, 2) examination of the susceptibility of selected crops to S. immaculata feeding in...
