REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST I909 I23 



ADDITIONAL LIST OF ADIRONDACK INSECTS 



EY D. B. YOUNG 



July 20 to August 10, 1909, found the writer enjoying a vacation 

 at Speculator, N. Y., a village with good accommodations, located 

 in the Adirondacks at the foot of Lake Pleasant. The romantic 

 and delightful scenery appeals to one's love of the beautiful, while 

 from an entomologist's point of view the great diversity of plant 

 and insect life of mountain and valley offers exceptional oppor- 

 tunity for collecting many rare and interesting forms. We were 

 particularly impressed by the large representation of Hemiptera in 

 that section and resolved to make a partial collection of the species 

 to be found there and such insects of other orders as might attract 

 our attention. The limited time at our disposal prevented this col- 

 lection from being as complete as we could wish but the following 

 list will give some idea of the rare forms to be met with in this 

 region. 



The Hemiptera were submitted to E. P. VanDuzee, who very 

 kindly made the identifications in that order. Of the 67 species sub- 

 mitted, 25 were new to the State collection. Among new or rare 

 forms in other orders 15 were taken, as well as many others in- 

 cluded in the list to preserve the records and make additions to the 

 Adirondack lists already published. 



Species marked with a dagger are new to the State collection ; 

 those with a star are not in the Adirondack list of Hemiptera in the 

 i2oth Report of the State Entomologist.
