A sample of maize contained several specimens of Laemophloeus 

 minutus, Oliv. This Cucujid has not been recorded previously from 

 Finland and must have been imported with maize from Argentina.

Deltocephalus striatus, L., which is common in meadows in Finland, 

 devastated the grain crops in some areas in 1918. Wheat and rye 

 were especially attacked, though in some places spring crops, more 

 particularly oats, suffered considerably.

The larva of Tenthredo vespa, Retz., which occurs in Finland, though 

 not included in the lists hitherto published by the author, feeds on 

 Fraxinus, Viburnum, Lonicera, etc. Macrophya rufipes, L., is another 

 new record. Entodecta pumilus, Klg., was noticed ovipositing on 

 Rubus idaeus. The larvae of Pteronidea pseudonotabilis, Ensl., the 

 larva and hitherto unknown male of which are described, live in groups 

 on smooth-leaved willows, especially Salix phylicifolia. The male 

 of Pontania forsiusi, Ensl., is described as well as both sexes of 

 Amauronematus excellens, sp. n., the larvae of which live on Salix 

 caprea.
