Welch Department of Entomology, Kansas State Agricultural College. The genus Polystcechotes contains the largest representatives of the Hemerobiidae. Thus far only two species have been re- ported from North America, namely P. punctatus, Fabr. and P. vittatus Say. The latter appears to have been reported only from New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but the former is said (Banks, '05, p. 28) to occur "all over the northern half of our country and extending southward in the mountains, as into North Carolina, New Mexico and Arizona; more coinmon in the northwest than ; P. punctatus is not only widely distributed but it also occurs in some localities in great numbers during certain parts of the summer, hence it seems strange that the immature stages of this attractive insect should remain uiiknown so long. The adult has been well known for many years, but information concerning the life history has apparently been lacking. The only account of this insect known to the writer which contains any data at all on any of the stages of the life history is that of Needham ('01, p. 551) in which the eggs are described as follows: "I obtained some of the eggs in July by confining some of the females of Polystoechotes in a pasteboard box.
