Nat, Hist., Raamsteeg 2, P.O. Box 9517, 2300 RA Leiden, NL). On pp. 28-29, an observation on the oviposition behaviour of Macrostigma maculata. made towards the evening of March 26, on the Kaboerikreek, West Surinam, is reported. A female was ovipositing in the water contained in a large bark groove of a felled Aspidosperma tree. Fringhtened away by unsuccessful attempts to photograph and catch it, it kept returning to this oviposition site, in a low flight over the ground: With reference tot earlier reports on pseudostigmatids breeding in phytotelmata, it is suggested that M.maculata might be a 'Kleingewasser” species rather than a bromelia breeder.
