King, P. E., Askew, R. R. & Sanger, C. (1969). The detection of parasitised hosts by males of Nasonia vitripennis (Walker) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) and some possible implications. Proc. R. ent. Soc. Lond. A, 44, 85-90.
Male Nasonia vitripennis hold territories on parasitized blowfly puparia, usually the puparium from which they have emerged, resulting in a high incidence of sib-mating.
Mauchline, J. (1969). The biology of Leptomysis gracilis and L. lingvura [Crustacea, Mysidacea]. J. mar. biol. Ass. U.K. 49, 379-89.
Three main generations of Leptomysis gracilis each year. Females carry up to sixty young in spring and summer but less than twenty in winter months. Data available for L. lingvura suggest a similar pattern.
New, T. R. (1969). The early stages and life histories of some British foliage-frequenting Psocoptera, with notes on the overwintering stages of British arboreal Psocoptera. Trans. R. ent. Soc. Lond. 121, 59-77.
Pre-adult stages of nine species of Psocoptera are described and keyed. Life cycles of six species are bivoltine, of three species trivoltine.
New, T. R. (1970). The life histories of two species of Leiophron Nees (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) parasitic on Psocoptera in Southern England. Entomologist's Gaz. 21, 39-48.
Both univoltine with four larval instars. Leiophron claviventris on bark-frequenting Mesopsocus and L. similis on foliage-frequenting species.
Reeve, M. R. (1969). Growth, metamorphosis and energy conversion in the larvae of the prawn, Palaemon serratus. J. mar. biol. Ass. U.K. 49, 77-96.
Life history found to comprise a variable number of stages, dependent on feeding level. Energy con- version efficiency was found to be 50-60% during most of the larval life, falling to 35% when early post- larvae were taken into account,
2. ECOLOGICAL SURVEYS; DISTRIBUTION STUDIES INCLUDING INTRODUCTIONS AND MIGRATION;

Langford, T. E. & Bray, E. S. (1969). The distribution of Plecoptera and Ephemeroptera in a lowland region of Britain (Lincolnshire). Hydrobiologia, 34, 243-71.
Surveys of streams, river and ponds in a calcareous agricultural region of low rainfall were made over 8 years, and nymphs of seven stonefly and fifteen mayfly species were recorded. Taeniopteryx nebulosa and Isoperla grammatica were the commonest of the stoneflies, which were found mainly in the upper reaches of chalkstreams and rarely in limestone streams. Baetis rhodani was by far the commonest and most abundant mayfly, being found in all habitats except ponds and saline reaches. Stoneflies and mayflies constituted 1 1 and 13.000 respectively of the invertebrate catch in unpolluted streams, and 0 001 and 4l1 00 in polluted streams. Where pollution, mostly from farms and small sewage works, was severe, only B. rhodani and Caenis moesta were found. The distribution of species within the region is discussed and compared with other parts of Britain.
