ON RHAMPHOCORIXA BALANODIS ABBOTT. 



By J. R. DE LA ToRRE-BuENo, White Plains, N. Y. 



Rhamphocorixa balanodis Abbott was described from Missouri 

 in 1912/ at which time the author erected for it that new genus. 

 Subsequently, he wrote me saying he suspected it might be one of 

 Uhler's species, acuminata, described in 1897,^ from Illinois and 

 Texas. To satisfy myself, this was checked up with Uhler's 

 description cited, and the species was found to agree perfectly 

 with it. 



The synonymy becomes Rhamphocorixa acuminata Uhler 1897 

 (Conyia.) -balanodis Abbott 1912. 



To the localities of these two authors would be added the fol- 

 lowing: Washington, D. C. (Coll. Heidemann) ; Piano, Texas, 

 "at trap light" (E. S. Tucker); Normal, Ills. (U. S. N. M., 

 "coll. C. V. R." labelled '' Corixa scutellata").

An Introduction to Entomology 



By JOHN HENEY COMSTOCK, Professor of Entomology and General Inyertebrate 

 Zoology, Emeritus in Cornell University. 



PART I — The Structure and Metamorphosis of Insects 



This volume is the first j>art of a text-book of entomology that Professor Comstock has 

 in preparation. It is, however, a complete treatise on the structure and metamorphosis of in- 

 sects. The part now published includes four chapters. The first chapter is entitled "The 

 Characteristics of Insects and Their Near Eelatives." In this chapter the characteristics of 

 the Arthropoda and of each of the thirteen classes of arthropods is discussed, with figures of 

 representatives of each of these classes. The second chapter is devoted to a detailed discussion 

 of the external anatomy of insects. The third chapter treats of the internal anatomy of in- 

 sects and includes the results of recent investigations in this field. In the fourth chapter there 

 is a detailed account of the transformation of insects, in which each of the different types of 

 metamorphosis of insects is discussed. There is also included a bibliography and an index.
