Abstract
INSECT physiology, and particularly the physiology of digestion, is more or less intimately correlated with the life-history and other environmental factors. An attempt has therefore been made to find out the correlation, if any, between the hydrogen ion concentration of the alimentary canal and the different feeding habits in the family Psychodidæ, which contains two sub-families, namely, Phlebotominæ and Psychodinæ. The former is easily separable from the latter by its blood-sucking habit.
