Abstract:

Dissection of 122 alimentary tracts of Procladius sp. and Pelopia punctipennis L. led the author to the conclusion that under the conditions prevailing in eutrophic lakes Procladius is a predatory animal supplementing its diet with algae, while Pelopia is predatory to a slight degree only. Observations were made to ascertain the influence of regurgitation of part of the food, when formalin was used as a preserving agent, on the results of dissection and analysis of alimentary tracts.
