The insect complex of sown pastures in the North Island X. insects revealed in studies of Soil, Turf, and Dung

Abstract

The insect species taken during 1957 and 1958 spring and summer surveys of soil, turf, and dung at widely scattered North Island localities involving the majority of pasture types, are discussed with regard to their identity, distribution, and possible economic importance. This information is complementary to that obtained during a sweep-sampling survey carried out during the summer of 1957.
