Additions to Insects of New Jersey, No. 4.* 



By HARRY B. WEISS, New Brunswick, N. J. 



Mr. Raymond C. Osburn informs me that the genus Tubi- 

 fera Meigen, 1800 (Dip.), has priority over Helophilus 

 Meigen 1804, owing to the acceptance of the 1800 paper, so 

 that all records under Helophilus in Smith's 1909 list should be 

 placed under Tubifera. 



Gracilaria asaleae Busck recorded in Additions to Insects of 

 New Jersey, No. 2 (Ent. News, vol. 26, p. 262), has been re- 

 duced to a synonym of Gracilaria zachrysa Meyrick. 



To Mr. E. R. Sasscer and Mr. Rust I am indebted for the 

 determination of certain scale insects and mealy bugs; to Mr. 



C. A. Frost for identifications made in the Coleoptera; to Mr. 

 L. C. Bragg for the identification of Rhopalpsiphum lignstri 

 Kalt., and to Mr. J. A. G. Rehn for the determination of the 

 two species recorded in the Orthoptera. 



Inasmuch as it is convenient to have the references to the 

 New Jersey fauna as complete as possible, attention is called 

 to Additions to the New Jersey Tipiilidae (Diptcra}, by M. 



D. Leonard (Ent. News, vol. 24, p. 247), in which eleven spe- 

 cies are recorded.
