[April 
For aid in determining the species recorded, both from P. 
rufus and P. hrevipennis, I wish especially to thank Dr. W. E. 
Britton of the Conn. Exp. Station who allowed me access to the 
Station collection, and to Dr. H. T. Fernald for the use of the 
Massachusetts Experiment Station collection. 
The insects taken from P. rufus are as follows:
