THfi PINE INVESTIGATION. 453 



Order NEUROPTERA : Family TERMITIDAE. 



197. Termes flavipes Kallor. Common in old pine logs and 

 stumps. Often injurious to wood work in buildings. 



The above list includes 134 species of insects taken from the 

 pine, of which 9 may be classed as destructive, 61 as injurious, 

 42 beneficial and 22 neutral or accidental. 



Eighty-four species were taken from the spruce, including 5 

 destructive, 24 injurious, 37 beneficial and 21 neutral. Some of 

 the species infest both pine and spruce. 



The list also includes 24 species of Hymenoptera which were 

 determined by Mr. Ashmead, as new to science. 8 species of 

 Scolytids were found which are believed to be undescribed, and 

 one new fungus disease of the bark beetle was described by 

 Prof. Peck. 



There are doubtless many more species of insects which in- 

 fest the pine and spruce of West Virginia, but this list includes 

 only those which have been observed by the author.
