Neuroptera in the Claremont-Laguna 



Region 



Preliminary List 



It is our purpose to publish from time to time lists of animals 

 found in this region. Some will be more or less definite studies In 

 special groups or special distributions. Unless otherwise stated, 

 these lists will be based upon specimens in actual possession of the 

 department. The work of many will be included. Not only the 

 contributions of present and future, but also the extensive collections 

 contributed to the department by Professor Cook and Professor 

 Baker, through a number of years, as well as specimens obtained 

 by Crawford, Metz, Essig and many other special students, as well 

 as material from both Claremont and Laguna Beach which is 

 brought in every year by general classes. For the determination 

 of much of this material we have to thank specialists in all groups 

 all over the country, as well as museums and other institutions. 



The purpose of these lists is in part as follows: 



( 1 ) To learn what animals occur in this region, for the purpose 

 of later studies both by the college and others. 



(2) To let others know what we have. 



(3) To have the benefit of criticisms and suggestions concerning 

 the species in these preliminary lists, so that we may be able to 

 detect errors and make new collections in special groups where it 

 seems especially needful. 



In no sense are these lists final, and they are necessarily more or 

 less incomplete and far from exhaustive In many cases.
