At a regular meeting of the Feldman Collecting Social, held 

 April 20, 1910, at 1523 South Thirteenth Street, Philadelphia 

 twelve members were present. Mr. C. W. Fenninger, visitor. 

 President Harbeck in the chair. 



Mr. Daecke stated that he was not aware that the upper side 

 of the abdomen of beetles has been used to differentiate closely 

 allied species and he exhibited two specimens of Cyllene pictus 

 and two of C. robinac with wings spread. The upper side of 

 abdomen of pictus is reddish, anal segment black, that of ro- 

 binac is all black. Both species have two rows of six golden 

 yellow lunules each, along the abdomen, caused by yellow pile, 

 except the anal segment which shows one median dorsal spot 

 of golden which is narrow and oblong in pictus, and obtusely 

 triangular in robinae. Also exhibited and recorded Xylota 

 tuberans Will., from Browns Mills Junction, June 5, 1908, and 

 X. metallifcra Bigot, from Clementon, April 25, 1909, as new 

 to New Jersey. These Syrphids were determined by Mr. Co- 

 quillet and are rather unusual for that State, as the former 

 was recorded from Texas and the latter from Colorado. Also 

 exhibited a specimen of Bntchus niiunts Say. from Hummels- 

 town, Pa., July 17, 1909, a species of which Mr. Wenzel 

 has representatives from Kentucky and Louisiana.
