angulifera and promcthea and also their cocoons and the 

 larva of promethca. He said he believed the two were abund- 

 antly distinct specifically and that virgin females of either 

 only attract their respective males. He also said that the 

 cocoon of angulifera is never suspended. 



Mr. Herman Hornig said he had found the cocoons of an- 

 gulifera suspended. 



Mr. Rehn made some remarks on the crickets of the group 

 Mogoplisti, referring- particularly to the general confusion in 

 the use of certain generic names in the group. Extensive 

 collections made by Mr. Hebard and the speaker had enabled 

 them to go into the relationship of the North American forms 

 more exhaustively than had ever been done before, the re- 

 sults of which show that all of the species from the Unite 1 

 States and Lower California belong to genera distinct from 

 the old world generic groups with which most of them were 

 associated at the time of their description. 



Mr. H. W. Wenzel exhibited a number of species of the 

 genus Hleodcs collected by Mr. H. A. Wenzel, dwelling upon 

 the distribution of some of the geographical races. He exhib- 

 ited the male and female of E. tenuipcs Casey, described 

 from a unique male collected in Nov., 1890, at El Paso, Texas. 

 Three months later, Dr. Horn described E. ivickhami, also 

 from a unique male, from Tuscon, Arizona, which Dr. Blais- 

 dell thinks is a race of E. tcnnipes Casey, this name having 

 priority over Dr. Horn's. 



The type is mentioned as being 30 mm. in the male. The 

 male specimen exhibited was collected in the desert about forty 

 or fifty miles south of Alpine, Texas, and measures 38 mm. 

 The female of the species were previously unknown. He also 

 exhibited specimens of Asida oblitcrata Champ, from the same 

 region. A broken specimen of this species in the Horn col- 

 lection is from Mexico. Among the species and races exhibit- 

 ed were the following: E. dcbilis, c.rtricata forma cogtiata, var. 

 ariconcnsis, obsolcta forma punctata, var. porcata, veterator, 

 qnadricollis var. anthracina, obsciira var. dispcrsa, sponsa his- 

 pilabris unknown form, tcnnipes? Asida oblitcrata and margin- 

 al a.
