are n-jointed, the only characteristic mentioned that would 

 serve to show that the genus was different from Anthemus 

 Howard. However, there now being no doubt as regards the 

 identity of Anthemiella with Parallelaptera, the characteristics 

 of the latter become more evident, since the former name was 

 proposed especially for the reason that its type species bore a 

 long marginal vein in the fore wing (about seven times longer 

 than broad, in the type Anthemus only about twice longer than 

 its width). Hence Parallelaptera Enock differs primarily from 

 Anthemus Howard in bearing a longer marginal vein of the 

 fore wing and in having ri-jointed antennae in the male; 

 secondarily in having longer funicle joints and nearly naked 

 fore wings (as regards discal ciliation). 



Parallelaptera rex (Girault) differs from P. panis in gen- 

 eral coloration, being black marked with golden yellow, in 

 having funicle joints I and 2 unequal and doubtless in other 

 details but I am unable to detect these from the descriptions. 



3. SOME NECESSARY CORRECTIONS TO PREVIOUS PAPERS ON THE 



MYMARIDAE. 



(i). In the paper titled "A New Polynema from Mexico," published 

 in ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS, Philadelphia, Volume XXII, October, 1911, 

 p. 358, last line female should read male* This paper describes Poly- 

 nesia aspidioti Girault. 



(2). In the paper titled "Descriptions of North American Mymari- 

 dae with Synonymic and Other Notes on Described Genera and Spe- 

 cies," published in the Transactions of the American Entomological 

 Society, Philadelphia, Volume XXXVII, pp. 253-324, the following: 



Page 278, line 21, Anthemis read Anthemus. 



Page 284, line 10, nigellus read nigrellusi 



Page 291, paragraph 8 In regard to Anagrus columbi Perkins, I 

 should state that I have seen the type or at least original specimen 

 which is mounted in balsam and in the collections of the Experiment 

 Station of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association at Honolulu ; an 

 examination of it does not lead me to change the opinion concerning 

 its status as expressed in this paragraph. 



Page 300, line 4, howardii read striaticorne.

Page 308, line 5, consobinus read consobrinus.
