evidenced in this list, as will be seen by referring to the num- 

 bers following Clh'ina inipressifrons, Agonoderus paUifics, ./. 

 partiarius, A. pauperculus , A. testaceus, Stenolophns oc]irof>c~us, 

 etc., etc. Other species are rarely or never attracted to lights, 

 and it would be folly to attempt to reduce their numbers by 

 the use of trap-lanterns. 



If entomologists in various parts of the country would en- 

 deavor to get data upon the insects of each order as to what 

 forms are and what are not noticeably attracted to light, it 

 would be possible to settle once and for all the question as to 

 the value of the trap-lantern for all of our principal insect 

 pests. Nor would data of this sort be of value to the eco- 

 nomic entomologist alone ; the collector and systematic worker 

 should get from such data points which ought to be of great 

 value to him, and there is no doubt that work of this sort 

 would add greatly to our knowledge of the geographical dis- 

 tribution of our insects. 



There are included in this list twenty-five families repre- 

 senting seventy genera and one hundred and twelve species. 

 Nearly twenty-five hundred specimens were taken. Nearly 

 one-half of these, including most of the small Caribidse, was 

 determined by Mr. Chas. Liebeck. About fifty species were 

 named by Mr. E. A. Schwarz through the kindness of Dr. L/. 

 O. Howard ; the writer is responsible for the determination of 

 the remainder. The numbers following the names indicate 

 the number of specimens that were taken of each species.
