Vol. XXviii] ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. 



at least December, 1915. In general it seems that the number 

 of specialists in any one or two orders of insects is not suffi- 

 cient to support a special journal, and we know of none such 

 provided with an endowment fund guaranteeing its perma- 

 nency. In this matter we must still be entomologists, appar- 

 ently, and yet the record of general entomological journals 

 contains many a short-lived periodical. We have only to re- 

 call The American Entomologist of three volumes, 1868-1880, 

 and Entomologica Americana, of six volumes, 1885-1890. 



Questions and 



The NEWS invites those having any entomological questions which they wish 

 answered to send such in for publication under this heading, and also invites 

 answers from its readers or others to these questions. Questions and replies 

 should be as brief as possible and the Editors reserve the right not to publish 

 any of either class which seem to them objectionable or inappropriate. Those send- 

 ing in contributions to this department will please indicate whether they wish 

 their names or merely one or more initials to appear in connection with their 

 communications, but all such must be accompanied by the full name and address 

 of the writer for the information of the editors. 



QUESTION No. 5. Are there any recorded aberrations of Mclitaca 

 brucci or Phyciodes camillus which have received names? We are so 

 far removed from entomological libraries that it is impossible to ob- 

 tain this information here. DR. JOHN A. COMSTOCK, 1275 Bellevue 

 Avenue, Los Angeles, California. 



Kntomological Literature. 



COMPILED BY E. T. CRESSON, JR., AND J. A. G. REHN. 



Under the above head it is intended to note papers received at the 

 Academy of Natural Sciences, of Philadelphia, pertaining to the En- 

 tomology of the Americas (North and South), including Arachnida and 

 Myriopoda. Articles irrelevant to American entomology will not be noted; 

 but contributions to anatomy, physiology and embryology of insects, how- 

 ever, whether relating to American or exotic species, will be recorded. 



The numbers in Heavy- Faced Type refer to the journals, as numbered 

 in the following list, in which the papers are published. 



All continued papers, with few exceptions, are recorded only at their 

 first installments. 



The records of papers containing new species are all grouped at the 

 end of each Order of which they treat. Unless mentioned in the title, 

 the number of the new species occurring north of Mexico is given at 

 end of title, within brackets.
