  B. 
  mnotatus 
  Blackburn. 
  

  

  This, 
  as 
  mentioned 
  above, 
  is 
  the 
  B. 
  blackhurni 
  of 
  Swezey's 
  

   and 
  my 
  own 
  writings. 
  It 
  is 
  common 
  on 
  Saccharum 
  ofjflcma/rum 
  

   and 
  on 
  Maniania 
  grass 
  (Cynodon 
  dactylon), 
  where 
  it 
  preys 
  on 
  

   Leafhoppers 
  and 
  other 
  small 
  game. 
  The 
  ova 
  and 
  one 
  nymphal 
  

   instar 
  have 
  been 
  described 
  and 
  figured 
  by 
  Swezey 
  (1905 
  Bull. 
  

   Ent. 
  H. 
  S. 
  P.A., 
  I 
  235, 
  PL 
  17. 
  fs. 
  2-4). 
  The 
  habits 
  of 
  B. 
  

   hlackhumi 
  are 
  probably 
  similar. 
  

  

  Fam. 
  Reduviidae. 
  

  

  The 
  ova 
  in 
  this 
  family, 
  typically 
  at 
  least, 
  are 
  mostly 
  pro- 
  

   vided 
  with 
  an 
  ornamental 
  cap 
  of 
  curious 
  structure, 
  which 
  is 
  

   pushed 
  off 
  on 
  emergence. 
  The 
  metamorphoses 
  are 
  partially 
  

   known 
  in 
  Harpactor 
  iracundus 
  (^°) 
  and 
  (^^) 
  Triatoma 
  

   sanguisuga 
  (*^), 
  Beduvius 
  personatus 
  (^^), 
  Endochus 
  

   cmgalensis 
  (^^) 
  and 
  Arilus 
  cristatus 
  (*^), 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  an 
  un- 
  

   known 
  form 
  described 
  and 
  figured 
  from 
  Brazil 
  (*^). 
  

  

  As 
  in 
  the 
  other 
  families, 
  Dipterous 
  parasites 
  and 
  Hymenop- 
  

   terous 
  egg-parasites 
  are 
  known. 
  

  

  As 
  is 
  indicated 
  by 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  labium, 
  this 
  family 
  is 
  

   preeminently 
  raptorial, 
  but 
  it 
  has 
  been 
  stated 
  that 
  they 
  are 
  

   sometimes 
  phytophagous, 
  or 
  rather 
  sap-sucking.

  This, 
  as 
  elsewhere 
  remarked, 
  may 
  be 
  the 
  inadequately 
  

   described 
  Z. 
  renardii 
  Kolenati, 
  from 
  the 
  Western 
  United 
  

   States, 
  but 
  I 
  do 
  not 
  feel 
  convinced. 
  

  

  It 
  was 
  first 
  known 
  in 
  these 
  Islands 
  in 
  1897 
  and 
  is 
  now 
  well
