50 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Jan., 'lO 



(Eudamus tityrus Fabr.) were common. One flew on his 

 hand where he noticed it was acting in a peculiar manner and 

 upon watching it he found it would touch the tip of its abdo- 

 men to his hand where it would deposit a drop of liquid then 

 with its proboscis would suck 'this up and then repeat the 

 operation. Thought it did this to dissolve the salts on the 

 skin from the perspiration. Tried the same experiment with 

 Argynnis cybele Fabr., but failed. 



Mr. Wenzel described how he found several species of 

 Coleoptera in New Jersey on Tephrosia Virginia (Ch.) at 

 different stages of its growth. Also exhibited his collection 

 of Lycus containing seven or eight species from the West, 

 each of which is very closely mimicked by a small moth, and a 

 box containing about forty species of Coleoptera, all new and 

 collected on the Kaeber- Wenzel Expedition to the Huachuca 

 Mountains of Arizona. Specially mentioned a new genus and 

 species, Anoplocephalus cribrifrons, described by Schaeffer, a 

 new Euphoria, two species of Brachys and three of Agrilus. 

 Said they had found a species of Coptocycla common on a cer- 

 tain vine and when Schaeffer had visited this same vine two 

 years before he found another species of Coptocycla common, 

 but none of 'the other. 



Mr. Grossbeck mentioned, in connection with what Mr. 

 Wenzel had said about Coptocycla, a certain pool in Great 

 Peace Meadows of New Jersey showing how species will dis- 

 appear and be replaced by others. The first year it was visit- 

 ed it contained thousands of larvae of Culex canadensis Theo., 

 the second year C. pretans Grossb. only, the third year C. ab- 

 fitchi Felt only, and the fourth there were some of each. 



Mr. Harbeck exhibited a freak Teuthredinid, with four 

 branches to its antennas; on one side the branches join about 

 half their length and continue as one while the other two 

 branches are perfect for their entire length. The specimen 

 was taken at Trenton, N. J., viii, 23, 1909.
