development which was then termed a "semi-pupa." It is doubt- ful if larvae assuming this state ever successfully develop into adults.
The accompanying illustration shows the dorsal view of the glossy, brown larvae (enlarged five diameters) a lateral view of the semi-pupa or prothetelic state (four diameters), and a natural size view of the first lot of larvae.
ASILIDS AND THEIR PREY,
BY STANLEY W. BROMLEY,
Southbridge, Mass,
While collecting insects during the summers of 1912-13 at Southbridge, Mass., I was attracted by the predaceous habits of certain Asilidse and the apparent partiality of some of the species for Hymenoptera, while others, as for example, Asilus sericeus, would almost invariably seize a Lepidopterous insect. To ascer- tain more fully the feeding habits of the species, I made a special collection of Asilidae with their prey.
.
Asa Fitch in his Ninth Report, page 251, pi. 4, fig. 7, refers to what is now called Promachus fitchii 0. S., as the "Nebraska Bee-killerv-Trupanea apiwra, stating that he had received it from Nebraska where it was destructive to the honey bee and also to the rose bug. As torobber-flies killing bees, I have not seen them do much damage, but I have never observed them closely in the vicinity of hives. Most of the bees taken were in the field, prob- ably at quite a distance from any apiary. They might, however, become injurious if abundant near a hive, for they always capture their prey on the wing and would undoubtedly seize indiscrimin- ately any bee that came within their range. As the various species of Vespa and other Hymenoptera were more plentiful in the fields than the honey bee, these fell victims to the ravenous appetites of the Asilids which preyed also on members of their own family and, indeed, even on those of the same species. As far as my observations go, there are very few insects that will attack robber-flies. I have seen a species of Crabro sting and

Spiders are, however, formidable enemies of robber-flies I have taken three Proctocanthus philadelphicus from webs of spiders; one from an Epeirid web and two from a web of Agalena; six Deromyia umbrina from Argiope riparia, Dasyllis thoracica from Theridium tepidarorium, and many small Asilids and Erax cestuans from Theridium, Epiera and Linyphia.
