Preliminary results are given for surveys of the number of larvae of C. tarsalis and A. freeborni found in rice fields in Yuba and Sutter Counties, California, in 1984. Larvae of C. tarsalis were more abundant at the beginning of the season, whereas those of A. freeborni became more abundant in mid-August. A minority of the rice fields sampled had larvae of either species occurring in numbers <more or =>0.08/dip.
