6. Miceotelia, sp. ? 



A small insect, numbered 112 and 122, belonging to this genus 

 was found on stagnant water at Beaulieu and Woburn ; but the 

 specimens are possibly nymphs and too undeveloped for specific 

 definition.

Three specimens of this insect were captured on the Mount 

 Gay estate and Balthazar in June and August. During the latter 

 month they occurred at the roots of grass, on muddy ground near 

 pools of water. This species is a common one which has been 

 met with in the Atlantic States and the West Indies, and it also 

 occurs in California and Washington State. In Maryland it lives 

 on the damp sand or mud of small pools beside streams of water, in 

 spring and late summer. The unwinged individuals may be found
