When we add to this total the twenty-five species secured only at light, the vital necessity for doing specialized field work is readily seen. The collector in the tropics otherwise can not hope to secure anything approaching a representative series, except as a resident, whose efforts have extended over many years at all seasons in the same locality. From our observations we are convinced that, though it is of course a much longer process to secure a good represent- ation of the species occurring at one locality in the tropics than in temperate regions, intensive collecting will be found to shorten enormously the time required for this. At Ara- cataca, much the richest locality examined, the number of species added each day to those previously secured was as follows: 35 (first half day), 29, 16, 16, 14, 8, 2, 4°2;23gaeeee We believe that after two weeks, even at this exceedingly rich locality, great difficulty would have been experienced in finding additional species. The majority of those taken during the last week of our stay were secured only through most difficult and laborious intensive search. As to seasonal diversity we have not had sufficient experi- ence to say much. The rainy seasons in the tropics must be an important factor. However, in Cuba, Jamaica and Panama, just sufficient work was done to indicate that, as Bxuxt, 20] ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS 285 jin the Santa Marta region, Orthoptera would occur adult in the greatest diversity during the month of September. As a result we had difficulty up to mid-August securing any adults of a number of species of which immatures were numerous, while in the case of a half dozen rarer species immatures alone were found. As would be expected, some species are apparently present _as adults throughout the year, while the occurrence of others in the adult stage is variable in duration and time of first appearance, September being the month of maximum abun- dance of adults of the greater number of forms. This was ssomewhat of a surprise, as general insect collecting was said to be best at the beginning of the rains, and at Santa Marta the major rainy season usually begins in early July. During our stay Lepidoptera were extremely abundant, ‘but the butterflies were often rubbed or torn; light collect- ing at night brought in a great variety of small moths, though disappointing in that the larger moths were rarely attracted. Coleoptera were found in great numbers, but large and showy individuals were few and far between, while light collecting at night was as a rule poor. Hemiptera were likewise plenti- ful, but immatures of many species were more numerous than adults. Odonata were present in great diversity. One factor we would emphasize. Comparing tropical with ‘temperate regions, though the number of species which can be found in the former is much the greater, the numerical abundance of the great majority of species is vastly less. Very many tropical species are rarely encountered and the work necessary to secure individuals of these is very hard indeed. Mosquitoes, ticks, plagas, leeches and other pests are ever present, while poisonous snakes, though in most regions sel- dom seen, must be considered, as well as the constant possi- bility of fever and other illnesses. Heat, reeking humidity and the constant attention necessary that the material secured be not destroyed, make the life of the collector in tropical lowlands a most arduous proposition. We fear that those who have spent the better part of their lives in such work are seldom fully appreciated by those at home. 286 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS [XXXI, ’20: New Predaceous and Parasitic Mites of the Superfamily Gamasoidea (Acar.). By H. E. Ewinc, Bureau of Entomology, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. The gamasoid mites of America have received but little attention from mite specialists, although the group is re- presented by a fauna rich in species. Taxonomic difficulties, especially in regard to the genera have been largely respons- ible for this neglect. In the present paper eleven new species: are described. The writer has followed largely Banks’ interpretation of generic characters and his arrangement of the genera found in America. Some of the predaceous forms here described are of considerable benefit because of their attacks upon injurious insects. Machrocheles bihastatus new species. (Text fig. 1). A medium-sized, yellowish-brown species. Epistoma broad, rounded’ and concealing the chelicerae when the latter are held in repose; on its anterior border provided with a very long, sharp, central cusp and two small, sharp, inconspicuous lateral teeth. Hypostome consisting of two large, sword-like cusps that considerably surpass the central cusp of the epistome. Chelicerae stout, heavily chitinized, ventral arm of chela surpassing the upper arm and hooked around its distal extremity; both arms provided with well-developed teeth. Body oval, evenly rounded behind, and with shoulders well marked; clothed above with moderate setae, a rather conspicuous pair being situated on the shoulders. An- terior legs long and antenna-like; second pair stoutest and each provided with a conspicuous spine which is situated on the outside of tarsus near its tip; third pair distinctly smaller than adjoining legs; last pair extend- ing slightly beyond the tip of body and with trochanters enlarged, being much stouter than the femora and almost as large as the same. Posterior coxae situated at the middle of the body. Length, 0.85 mm.; width, 0.50 mm. From near Lake Keuka, New York; in leaf mold from gorge; by C. R. Crosby. Description based upon the type, a well-preserved female specimen in the writer’s collection, This species is quite distinct from our other described American forms on account of the large two-cusped hypostome. BERT; 20] ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS 287 Laelaps bermudaensis new species. (Text fig. 2.) An oval-shaped, smooth, straw-yellow species. Chelicerae stout, with with upper chela almost straight and lower chela strongly curved and considerably surpassing the upper chela. Palpi prominent and about one-half as long as first pair of legs. Body broadest at its middle, evenly rounded behind, and sparsely clothed with rather long setae, a conspicuous one being situated at the median line along the posterior border. Peri- treme extending slightly beyond the third pair of coxae, curved so as to follow the contour of the body margin and without sinuations. Anterior legs three-fourths as long as the body and antenna-like, tarsus scarcely equal to the tibia in length; second legs stoutest, trochanter stout, but not swollen; third legs the smallest, about four-fifths as long as the fourth pair; fourth pair reaching the tip of abdomen, trochanters swollen, much the stoutest of the segments and about two-thirds as long as the femur. Length, 0.54 mm.; width, 0.40 mm. From Pembroke, Bermuda; collected in a banana orch- ard and cedar grove; by A. O. Gross. Described from the type specimen, a female, in the writer’s private collection. Of the species in the writer’s collection this one is nearest Laelaps flavus Ewing.

A small light yellowish mite. Chelicerae moderate, upper chela, which surpasses the lower, provided with two rows of teeth. The outer row is composed of fewer but slightly larger teeth than the inner row. Palpi about one-half as long as the first pair of legs, and each provided with a small spine on the inner side of the distal segment. Body with sides al- most parallel behind the shoulders which are not pronounced; lateral margin in front of shoulders concave. Body sparsely clothed with mod- erate, simple setae, the pair on the shoulders and one of the pairs near the posterior margin being larger than the rest. All the legs about subequal in length except the third pair which is slightly shorter and smaller than the rest. Tarsus of leg I longer than the tibia, with its inner margin straight and outer margin curved near the tip; claws of tarsus I weak and borne on a small pedicel situated on the inner lower aspect of the tip of the segment.

Program and Price of the News for 1921. In the October number we suggested raising the sub- “scription price of the Nrws to enable us to increase the number of pages and possibly the illustrations. We have received a large number of replies from subscribers favorable to this suggestion. Unhappily, an increase in costs of print- ing for 1921 appears to be widespread and prevents us from -enlarging the magazine to the extent to which we had hoped. We believe, however, that we are justified in promising thirty-two pages per month, instead of thirty, for the annual subscription of $2.50, and this is our program and our price for 1921. We shall try also to give a few additional plates -or illustrations. We hope that all our subscribers will remain with us and help us as they have done in the past. All the income from the NEws goes into its printing and illustration and the ‘postage and stationery necessary for its maintenance. No -one receives any salary or compensation for work done on the journal. Sooner or later—and we hope sooner—a de- -crease in costs of printing is probable, and when this happens we shall enlarge the NEws step by step with lowered expenses.

This fungus, commonly known as the oyster mushroom, appears to be- more attractive to insects than any other member of the family A garica- ceae and for that reason it is desirable to call attention to it. It is an: edible species and occurs from spring until late fall, either singly or in* clusters on the limbs or trunks of dead or living trees. Patterson and. Charles (U. S. Dept. Agric. Bul. 175, p. 13) give the following brief de-- scription by which it may be recognized, ‘‘cap either sessile or stipitate,. shell-shaped or dimidiate, ascending, fleshy, soft, smooth, moist, in color white, cream, grayish to brownish ash; stem present or absent (if present,. short, firm, elastic, ascending, base hairy); gills white, decurrent, some- what distant, anastomosing behind to form an irregular network. Cap- 3 to 5 inches broad; mostly cespitose, imbricated.”’ A related species, Pleurotus sapitus, upon which were found only afew species of Coleoptera, resembles ostreatus closely but is distinguished by its lilac-tinged spores. As shown by the following table, 26 species are listed representing 10» families. Those species marked with an asterisk were taken on a single specimen of Pleurotus ostreatus by Mr. K. F. Chamberlain at Cornwall,. Connecticut, June 27. According to the table, the Tenebrionidae and Staphylinidae appear to: be the best represented families. The Staphylinidae are commoner on gill fungi than on polypores but the Tenebrionidae are equally at home on either polypores or agarics. All of the species listed, except those- belonging to predaceous groups such as the Carabidae and Histeridae,. are probably fungus eaters.

WEtIss, New Brunswick, New Jersey. The Crop Protection Institute. An organization has been effected under the auspices of the National Research Council, by which it is proposed to bring together manu- facturers of insecticides, fungicides and allied commodities with the sci- entific men in entomology, plant pathology and agricultural chemistry. The title of the organization is The Crop Protection Institute. The question of bringing about such an organization has been under advisement by a number of entomologists and has been studied at some length by the Committee on Policy of the Association of Economic Ento- mologists. It is explicitly not the intent to duplicate existing organi- zations or agencies. Rather, it is the thought that this Institute can serve as the vehicle for accomplishing some things for which there is not at present any machinery, and may supplement on occasion the work of existing departments or agencies. The greatest care has been taken to safeguard the activities of the Institute from suspicion of commercial influence. All of its affairs are entirely in the hands of the Board of Trustees of thirteen members, nine of whom must be scientific men without commercial affiliations. Definite provision is made for general publication of the results of research. Sci- entific members of the Association will receive publications of the In- stitute from time to time, in addition to sharing in other activities and helping to guide the Institute into useful endeavors.—W. C. O’KANE, Durham, New Hampshire, Chairman Board of Trustees of The Crop Protection Institute. Entomological Literature. COMPILED BY E. T. CRESSON, JR., AND J. A. G. REHN. Under the above head it is intended to note papers received at the Academy of Natural Sciences, of Philadelphia, pertaining to the Entomology of the Americas (North and South), including Arachnida and Myriopoda. Articles irrelevant to American ento- mology will not be noted; but contributions to anatomy, physiology and embryology of- insects, however, whether relating to American or exotic species, will be recorded. The numbers in HEAvVy-FACED TyPE refer to the journals, as numbered in the following list, in which the papers are published. All continued papers, with few exceptions, are recorded only at their first installments. The records of papers containing new genera or species occurring north of Mexico are all grouped at the end of each Order of which they treat. For records of Economic Literature, see the Experiment Station Record, Office of Ex- periment Stations, Washington. Also Review of Applied Entomology, Series A, London. For records of papers on Medical Entomology, see Review of Applied Entomology, Series B. 7—Annals of The Entomological Society of America, Columbus, Ohio. 8—The Entomologist’s Monthly Magazine, London: 9—-The Entomolo- gist, London. 10—Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Wash- 298 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS [xxx aor ington, D.
