OF WASHINGTON. 197 
Mr. Schwarz stated that the species described and figured 
by Dr. Erich Haase as Phengodes hieronymi 1 did not belong 
at all to this genus. 
Dr. Howard spoke of the remarkable change that has 
taken place lately in Italy in the old malarial districts around 
Rome and Naples. There are few mosquitoes present in 
those regions, and the disease has practically been wiped out 
by the use of the best sanitary means that could be found 
available by those in charge of the work.
