N2 - 1. 1. Analyses were made of the major ionic composition of the haemolymph in two adult freshwater insects: Corixa dentipes (Thoms.) and Corixa punctata (Illig.). 2. 2. In both species, the ionic concentration is maintained against a steep concentration gradient with respect to the external medium. 3. 3. The ionic concentration is very similar in both species. 4. 4. The sodium content in different compartments (whole body, haemolymph, tissue) is calculated for C. dentipes and is compared with data for other freshwater insects. 5. 5. Total haemolymph content was measured in both species using a 198Au dilution method.
