Feldman Collecting Social. 



Meeting of April I7th, 1918, at 5614 Stewart St., Philadelphia, Pa. 

 Twelve members present; Dr. E. C. Van Dyke, of Berkeley, California, 

 visitor. Pres. H. W. Wenzel in the chair. 



Coleoptera. Dr. Van Dyke spoke of the intertidal collecting on 

 the islands along the Pacific coast, particularly of the genus .T,^ialitcs, 

 which is found in the crevices of the rocks below high tide line, so 

 that part of the time they live under water. Associated with these 

 was a marine Hydrophilid of the genus Ochthebius (the only species 

 found in this country and undescribed), a Carabid related to Pogonns 

 and many Staphylinids. They are all supposed to feed upon the 

 minute algae. He had seen a specimen of a cave-dwelling Carabid 

 at Cornell University, collected years ago by Prof. Comstock in Texas, 

 which is not related to any of the North American or European 

 species generally found in caves. It is eyeless, with a long thorax, 

 lon 1 ^ hraded and lon.y K'.u^ed and is a new Lti/nus more closely related 

 to Casnonia.
