A Second Contribution 



TO THE 



ENTOMOLOGY 



OF THE 



Region of the Gulf Biologic Station. 



By JAMES S. HINE, Columbus, Ohio. 



In the second report of the Gulf Biologic Station a list of 

 insects collected in 1903 was published. I spent some time in 

 1905 during the months of June and July in the employ of the 

 Station and the Louisiana Crop Pest Commission, and the list 

 offered at this time is composed of species that were not de- 

 termined in 1903, and those that have been identified from the 

 collections of 1905. There are still a number of undetermined 

 species which are held for a future report. 



Director B. H. Guilbeau of the Station suggested the work 

 and manifested an interest in it ; he also helped in the collecting. 

 ]\'lr. Robert Tillery, under the direction of ]\Ir. Guilbeau, did 

 much of the collecting, and others in the employ of the Station 

 and the Crop Pest Commission have, contributed to the work in 

 various ways. The drawings for the accompanying plates were 

 mostly made by Miss L. C. Riddle, of Columbus. Many of the 

 determinations were made by different persons who are men- 

 tioned in connection with the order of insects .in which help 

 was given. To all who have helped in the work of making this 

 list possible I wish to express my appreciation. 



A number of forms are of more or less interest from aii 

 economic standpoint, and others on account of the fact that 

 they are considered of rare occurrence. Therefore it seems 

 worth while to offer notes concerning some of them. 



The predaceoiis insects of any localitiy are attractive for 

 study. At Cameron there is a great deal of sandy soil and
