FIELD NOTES AND QUESTIONS. 



Interesting New Jersey Captures. 



On April 7, 1914, a large Carabid was taken at Arlington, N.J., 

 from a case of Japanese azaleas. Mr. E. A. Schwarz to whom it 

 was sent identified it as Damaster hlaptoidcs Kollar and said that 

 it was a rather rare species, the genus being peculiar to Japan. 

 Inasmuch as it is a beneficial insect its introduction into the 

 United States would be desirable. 



Eucactophagus graphipterus Champion was taken during 

 April, 1914, in a greenhouse at Summit, N.J. This member of the 

 family Calandridte was determined by Mr. Schwarz who has the 

 following to say concerning it, "Very interesting; a native of 

 Costa Rica and U.S. of Columbia; only three specimens are known. 

 The one figured in Biol. Centr.-Amer., vol IV, part 7, plate IV, 

 fig. 35, was found by Prof. Britton in a greenhouse at Connecticut, 

 Larva; and other biological material of this species are greatly 

 desired by the U.S. National Museum, also more information 

 regarding nature of damage to orchids."

Callopistria floridensis Giien. in New Jersey. The work of 

 this insect known as the Florida Fern Caterpillar or the 

 Southern Fern-Cutworm was first noted in New Jersey at 

 Weehawken, Riverton and Rutherford during September and 

 October, 1914, where the larvae were doing considerable damage to 

 ferns in greenhouses, attacking such species as Adiantum, 

 Cyrtomium, Nephrolepis, Pteris, Polypodium, Blechnum and 

 Asparagus sprengeri. Both forms of larvae were present with the
