INSECTS AFFECTING MAN AND ANIMALS 
F. C. Bishopp, in Charge 
D. C. Parman returned to his duties at Uvalde,. Tex., early in 
December, after spending several weeks at Coachella, Calif., direct= 
ing the work there on the eye gnat. 
D. G. Hall, engaged in investigations of the eye gnat, writes 
that a careful study of the literature indicates that the generic name 
Hippelates has been incorrectly used. "The change is noted by Bezzi, 
1928, Diptera of the Fiji Islands, British Museum. Natural History, p. 
148. Bezzi states 'Doctor Kertesz (Ann. Mus. Nat. Hung., XII, p. 674) 
1914), from an examination of the genotype, in the British Museum, states 
that Cadrema, Walker, 1860, must be substituted for Hippelates, Loew, 
1865..""" 
Ff, C. Bishopp attended the entomological meetings, at Des Moines, 
Iowa, where he presented a paper by Bishopp, Laake and Wells, on tests 
of insecticides for control of cattle grubs.
