9. Noteworthy Species in the Insect Fauna. 



Rhynchota. 



The most abundant species belonging to this order was Cicadula sexnotata Fall, 

 which occurred in very great numbers during the months June to September. Philae- 

 nus spumarius L. was also abundant. The other species of Rhynchota were only 

 occasionally taken. Psallus lepidus Fieb. had probably wandered from one of the 

 ash trees on the border of the field. 



Neuroptera. 



The only representative of this family was Sialis lutaria, which occurred near the 

 ponds. 



Lepidoptera. 



Few species of Lepidoptera were met with in the field, adults and larvae of 

 Pyralidae being the most numerous. Larvae of Tripliaena pronuba L. occurred in 

 the soil and a pupa of this species was parasitized by the Ichneumon Amblyteles 

 armatorius Forst.
