LIFE-HISTORIES OF NORTH-AMERICAN WATER-BUGS

At every turn, since beginning my studies in the aquatic Hemiptera some four years ago, my attempts to verify some observation have been balked by the extreme meagreness of the information on the subject running all through the field of entomological literature. This lack is far more noticeable with reard to the immature stages of the Cryptocerata and of the aquatic and semi-aquatic forms of the Gymnocerata.

Water Bugs

Of the water-bugs, perhaps Ranatra and Nepa are better known than the others in their anatomy and earlier stages. Dufour's classic on the anatomy of Nepa cinerea, L., and Ranatra linearis, L., has been followed by the work of other investigators in these two species, and the peculiar filamentous ova of the two genera have long been favourites with students. But neverthless, thus far no compelte life-history has been worked out for either of them.

The North

Relatively little is known of the life history, ecology and behaviour of most species of Tabanidae. Knowledge of their immature stages is particularly deficient. The larvae of only 46, or about ⅛, of the North American species have been described and many of these descriptions are inadequate. The present research was initiated in 1960 to describe and classify tabanid larvae and to contribute information on larval habitats and life histories.

Heteroptera Pentatomidae

The mecideine stink bug genus Mecidea is represented in America north of Mexico by three species: Mecidea major Sailor, Mecidea minor Ruckes, and Mecidea longula Stål. M. major and M. minor are widely distributed, occurring collectively from the Midwest to California. M. longula is known only from south Florida. The life histories of M. major and M. minor have been published including laboratory rearing from egg to adult and descriptions of the immature stages. However, no key has been developed for identification of the nymphs of these two species. Here, we present a key to the nymphs of these taxa to the species and instar levels.
