state. This seems to indicate that the tubes are formed in the 

 larvae before transforming ; the connection between the tracheae 

 and the breathing tubes was severed, showing that the larvae 

 use these tubes before changing. 



Mr. Schaeffer spoke of Europs pallipennis taken at Fort Lee, 

 N. J., some years ago, but of which he has since found quite 

 a number of specimens in June, on the gummy excretion of 

 hickory. Specimens were submitted to Mr. Schwarz, who 

 considered it very strange to find this species so far north, 

 which before had not been recorded north of Florida. 



Mr. Daecke exhibited a specimen of Polyplenrus perforatus 

 taken at Manumuskiu, N. J., April 24, 1901, as a species new 

 to New Jersey. 



Dr. Castle exhibited some specimens w r hich he had collected 

 in the Blue Mountains, Pennsylvania, among which was a spe- 

 cimen of Lebasiclla pallipes Klug, of which there are only two 

 specimens in this city, the other being in the collection of Dr. 

 Horn, from Texas. 



Mr. Joutel stated that Dr. Felt and himself were working 



upon Saperda, and made the following remarks upon the 



genus : He said that they divided the larvae into two groups 



one living in the dead wood and the other in the living trees 



and that the larvae of each species had a different way of 



working in the wood by which means they could be separated 



better than by any characters of the larvae themselves, as they 



seemed to be very much alike. They have found two new 



species, one related to Saperda tridaitata and the other to S. 



calcarata. 



Mr. Johnson exhibited a specimen of Dasyllis taken by Mr. 

 Daecke at Mamumuskin, N. J. The specimen agrees well 

 with Macquart's description of ajjinis.
