Xumerous plant-bugs, leafhoppers, and related insects were ob- served and collected at Hugo, Colo. As a considerable portion of these were in the nymph or ininiature stages, comparatively few were identified specifically. The list follows: rurinus Say and A. pluto T' coreid plant-bujis bearing some relation to tlio sqnasli bus, were among the number. Tbe former has been recorded attacking Lima beans and cowpeas; hence, it is quite probable that both feed on loco and lupines, which are of the same botanical family. Daaycona Iiu> Fhl., another coreid of unknown habits. Geocoris griscus Dall., a plant-bug of the family Lyga>ida^. Hadronema milltaris Uhl., a small capsid or leaf-bug. It infests Amaranthns and beets. Probably accidental. Stiphrosoma atrata Uhl., also a capsid, of unknown habits. PJiUwnus biliiicatus Say, a cei'copid leafhopi)er which probably feeds on grasses. DeltoccphaJus flcrulosiis Ball, a jassid leafhopper. liruclwinorpha dorsata Fitch, a fulgorid. Nobis ferns L., a predatory form. It doubtless destroys many of the other bugs, especially in their, immature stages. MISCELLANEOUS INSECTS. Agromysa (rnciveuMs Fallen, a small fly, was reared from pupjip at the roots of Aragallus from Flagstaff, Ariz., received in April, 1907. from Mr. Geo. Ilochderffer. We have office records of the rearing of this species from the roots of clover and from larvsB found in buri'ows In the stems of Ambrosia. The fly was reared by the writer from mines iu garden peas col- lected at Washington. D. C, August 10, 1904. The insects issued .Inly 30. Pea leaves are, in fact, quite often infested by this miner. TJnknon-n Iraf-hcctlc.—'Decembev 14, 1901, Mr. D. P. INIarnm, Woodward, Okla., wrote of an insect which fed upon the leaves of Astra- galus moUissimus. During April of that year he noticed that a
