were heavily covered with i)ollen, the stiff hairs retaining a consider- 

 able amount. While we do not usually think of a predaceous bug as 

 instrumental in the crossfertilization of plants, yet this individual 

 could have been useful to the rose if it chanced to visit other 

 flowers. 



2. Lygcctis bicrncis Say. — While this insect has a wide range it is 

 quite uncommon in the vicinity of New York City. A single speci- 

 men was captured in the Half Way Hollow Hills. July 4, on a small 

 poplar. 



3. Largns succincUis Linn. — This southern bug was found run- 

 ning among the dead leaves in a woods at Christian Hook, May 10, 

 1910. 



4. Nccara pcjinsylz'anica De Geer. — Found near Swan Pond, 

 between Calverton and Manorville. Sept. 28, 1910. 



5. Tctyra bipiinctata H. S. — This is usually considered to be a 

 southern species, but has been recently found on Long Island by 

 several members of the New York Entomological Society. Mr. Geo. 

 P. Engelhardt and I took a considerable number of specimens on 

 the pitch pines at Promised Land near Montauk. This brings the 

 known distribution of the species a considerable number of miles 

 further to the northeast, and to the last forest of pines on Long 

 Island. This bug has a stridulating apparatus in the form of two 

 striated areas on the under surface of the fourth and fifth segments 

 of the abdomen, and when the legs are rubbed against these file-like 

 structures, the insect makes considerable noise.
