 Mount Airy, Pa., which he said is the second record of capture 

 of this species for eastern Pennsylvania. He also reported 

 capture of Catocala concumbens in Pike County, Pa., which is 

 second record for the State of Pennsylvania. 



Mr. L/aurent also stated that in the northeastern part of this 

 State, locust trees as well as golden rod grow profusely, but 

 he had not seen any specimens of the locust borer Cyllcne 

 robinicB in the past season, while in the southeastern part of 

 the State the trees were much infested and the insect common. 



Mr. Wenzel read from Dr. Hopkin's paper on the life history 

 of Cyllene robinia;. 



Mr. Harbeck reported the following Diptera new to New 

 Jersey : Frontina alcti/z Riley taken at Anglesea, June 1 1 , 1905 ; 

 Acemyia dcntata Coq. taken at L/ucaston, September 9, 1905,

 Say, taken at Glenolden, Pa., and stated that his earliest 

 record is April 2Qtli and latest spring record June i2th, and 

 that he found the insect common again on September 2ist, 

 which proves conclusively that there is a second brood. 



Mr. Haimbach exhibited his collection of the Genus Crambns 

 taken in Philadelphia, Pa., and southern New Jersey, number- 

 ing 22 species, one of which, satrapellus, being new to New 

 Jersey list and one probably new to science. 



Mr. Daecke exhibited a $ Mydas fulvifrons 111. and a <? 

 My das chrysostoma O.-S., which were taken in coitu at Stone 

 Harbor, N. J., thus establishing the synonymy of chrysostoma. 

 He also stated that the new record for New Jersey of Chrysops 

 sordidus O.-S. (meeting of June 27, 1906, published ENT. 

 NEWS, Oct., 1906) is erroneous, it should read Chrysops cuclu.v 

 Whitney. There is no reason, however, why Chrysops sordidus 

 O.-S. should not be found in New Jersey.
