FELDMAN COLLECTING SOCIAL. 



Meeting of April iQth, 1911, at 1523 S. I3th St., Philadel- 

 phia. Nine members present, Pres. Haimbach in the chair. 



Mr. Daecke said many twigs had been collected at the be- 

 ginning of the year around Harrisburg and already many 

 Coleoptera and accompanying parasitic Hymenoptera have 

 emerged. He had taken Euherrichia granitosa (Lep.) at 

 Brown's Mills -27 and had sent the record to Prof. Smith, 

 but it was credited in the 1909 New Jersey List, p. 473, to 

 E. mollissima Gn. 



Mr. Geo. M. Greene exhibited a specimen of Hemipeplns 

 marginipennis Le C. (Col.) collected by Mr. John Freeman, 

 Phila., April 9, 1911, running on a newspaper. Dr. Castle 

 has taken this species commonly in Florida on the palm, and 

 said as this specimen was caught on Palm Sunday it was most 

 likely brought here on the leaves for that day. 



Meeting of May I7th, 1911, at 1523 S. I3th St., Philadel- 

 phia. Thirteen members were present. Vice-president Wen- 

 zel in the chair. 



Prof. Smith said that Serica iricolor Say had been reported 

 from Hammonton, New Jersey, May 10, 1911, and a few 

 other localities as injurious to peach trees. The flight seems 

 to be in late afternoon or early evening and as they fed on the 

 young shoots the trees were almost completely stripped of the 

 foliage they had at that time. 



Potnphopoea aenea Say was reported as common on fruit 

 blossoms in southern New Jersey; Mr. Wenzel recorded it 

 from Malaga and Mr. C. T. Greene from Glassboro. 



Prof. Smith continued to say that everywhere in literature 

 the Plum Cnrculio is reported as hibernating under rubbish
