Abstract:
This field book contains a catalogue of specimen numbered 6985-8351 which Chittenden collected or which was collected by others and numbered according to Chittenden's directions between approximately 1919 to 1927, bulk dates 1920-1923. Chittenden and his colleagues collected Hymenoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera, Beetles (Coleoptera), and other insect groups, many or all of which are parasitic. Collecting took place in the United States, Puerto Rico, and possibly other countries. Specimens are mostly from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with some specimen from California and Puerto Rico. Other locations not recorded in this record may be included. The catalogue contains the following information: number, name (binomial), Host (plant or other insect was found on), Locality, Date, and Collector. Common names are occasionally recorded. Many pages of blank numbers are included.
