maculosa, Mg. Not uncommon at Mlllook in 



August 1905 ; has been taken at Liskeard, May 

 1902 ; was very common at Bodmin in 1903 and 

 is occasionally brought in by the students at 

 Truro ; has been taken at Newquay ; is probably 

 generally distributed

ORTHORRHAPHA (continued) 



NEMATOCERA (continued) 



TABANIDAE (continued) 



Tipula oleracea, L. Common throughout the county 

 and at Scilly. The frequent wet autumns in 

 Cornwall make this pest at times unfortunately 

 abundant, and although the damage done to crops 

 is almost invariably attributed to the wireworm, 

 there is no doubt that in some years, like 1904, 

 these ' leather jackets ' cause a large amount of 

 damage. In the winter of 1903-4, some 

 autumn-sown wheat near Falmouth was com- 

 pletely destroyed by this pest and the spring- 

 sown oats in the same field were ruined. 



It seems probable that Pachyrrhina maculosa 

 is at times so common locally as to be a source 

 of considerable loss to the farmers, especially 

 among young seeds 



T. paludosa, Mg. Fairly common in 1904 about 

 Bodmin ; of frequent occurrence around Truro 

 and Falmouth; W. Cornwall; probably fairly 

 general in its distribution

TABANIDAK 



The Tabanidae are popularly known as Breeze Flies, 

 Horse Flies, Gad Flies and Clegs. Though the males 

 appear to frequent flowers and live on their nectar the 

 females are all bloodsuckers and cause considerable 

 annoyance to stock and more especially to horses. 

 The larvae are not parasitic, but live in the ground, 

 and in some species in water, and appear to be 

 carnivorous.
