alls Heer, Quediiis (Microsaurus) mesomelinus 

 Marsh., Microchondrus gibberosus Lucas taken from 

 nest of pic vert. Thus, three groups of insects are 

 listed in this citation: (i) those from nest of Picj/s 

 viridis virescens (Brehm) ; (2) those from nest of 

 Picus viridis virescens Brehm; and (3) those from 

 nest of pic vert. I have listed all three under the head- 

 ing, Picus viridis Linnaeus, with no attempt to indicate 

 subspecies. From study of Leleup's paper, I believe 

 that the three groups of insects would be listed cor- 

 rectly as taken from nest of Picus viridis pluvius Har- 

 tert. However, I am not reasonably certain of this, so 

 the binominal term is used.

Vernacular names, more so in ornithology than in entomology, may 

 cause trouble and confusion when one attempts to correlate a citation in 

 the vernacular with a scientific name. In some instances a vernacular 

 name can be correlated specifically with a scientific name. More fre-
