NEW ENGLAND RECORDS OF ULULODES CURRIE (NECROP- TERA: ASCALAPHIDAE). - There are few records of the two indigenous species of Ululodes from the northeastern corner of the United States. The genus is not mentioned in Procter's Biological Survey of
the Mount Desert Region
[Maine], Part VII, 1946, nor is it recorded by Johnmn in his Insects of Nantucket, 1930, or by Britton in the Check- List of the Insects of Connecticut, 1920 and 1938. There is only one citation in Leonard's List of the Insects of New York, 1926; and this is of 17. quudripnnctata from Staten Island, in the extreme southeast. Records of both --pecies are more plentiful in Smith's Insects of New Jersey, 1910, and Brimley's Insects of North Carolina, 1938; the former work citing two localities for U. hyalina and five for U. quadrip~mtata, and the latter, four and two localities for these species, respectively.
Inasmuch as they represent extensions of the known ranges of both species, the following records from the author's collections are presented herewith, even though lacking such desirable data as precise locality and year of collection : Ululodes hyalina Latr., Marthas Vineyard, Mas- sachusetts, 19 July, 1 specimen at light. Ululodes q7u1clri- punctata Burm., Marthas Vineyard, Mass., 2 August, 1 specimen at light; New London, Connecticut, July-August. 1948, 1 specimen. In all cases, poor condition precludes de- termination of sex of these specimens. The author will gratefully receive any records or specimens of Ululode~ from the northeastern United States. - George H. Beatty. 111, Plumsteadville, Pennsylvania.
