Notes on Certain Species of Insects. 
Neuroptera. The two species in this order were Brachyne- 
murus abdominalis Say, which was common (8-5; 10-24; 11-8) 
and Chrysopa oculata Say (6-16; 8-20). 
Isoptera. Termes flavipes Koll. was found early in the 
season (5-15) in rotten wood and wingless termintes (5-29) at the 
water line of the ocean. 
Odonata Erythrodiplax berenice Dru. was common along 
the shore (7-15; 8-5) and also Enallagma durum Hagen (7-15; 
8- 5; 9-8; 9-26) the larvae of the former living in salt water ac- 
cording to Smith. 
Homoptera Plant lice were observed on seaside goldenrod 
and Lactua sp. Aside from Phlepsius fascipennis Van D., 
which occurs on salt marshes and which was collected July 15, 
nothing unusual or characteristic of the locality was observed. 
Several species which do not appear to have been previously 
recorded from New Jersey were collected and these are as fol- 
flws, Cixius basalts Van D. (7-15), Myndus fulvus Osb. (7-15)., 
Megamelanus elongatus Ball (6-16), Bostcera nasuta Ball (8-5). 
Platymetopius cuprescens Osb. (8-20, 9-26), Thamnotettix nigri- 
frons (Forbes) (6-16, 7-15, 10-24). 
Hemiptera. The Pentatomidse, Lygaeidse and Miridse were 
the best represented families. In the Pentatomidse, Aethus 
obliquus Uhl. was found May 7 in the sand under Hudsonia and 
Thyanta custator Fab. was plentiful from May to September. 
In the Lygaeidse, Orthlomus ocolopa Uhl was collected (7-15, 
9- 26 and Blissus leucopterus var. arenarius Barb. (5-7, 7-15-9-26. 
In the Coreidse, Harmostes reflexulus Say and Corizus lateralis 
Say were plentiful throughout the season. Corythucha marmorata 
Uhl. was noted on seaside goldenrod and this nearness to the 
ocean may explain its occasional presence in “wash up.” 
T etraleps insidiosus (Say) was swept from beach pea by the 
thousands during September and Ochterus banksi Barb, which 
appears to like the seashore was collected on July 2.
