identical with Bolilochara, and the species arcuata Casey will have to 

 receive another name {vide arcuata Fvl. from Chile). 



Page 273. Venusa blanchardi Casey is a synonym of Bolitochara picta 

 Fvl. 



Page 279. Diestota mayeti M. & R. is a synonym of tcstacea Kr. 



Page 282. Eumicrota huineralis Casey. Eumicrota will probably prove 

 to be identical with Gyropheena, and the species hunieralis Casey will 

 have to receive another name {vide humeralis Shp. ). 



Page 287. Phanerota angularis Casey. See above remark {vide Gy- 

 rophcena angularis Epp. from West Africa). 



Page 29 r. Gyrophcsna flavicornis n. sp. is a typographical error, and 

 should read Melsh. 



Page 315. Oxypoda ancilla Casey. The specific name is pre-occupied, 

 vide O. ancilla J. Sahib. Sv. Vet. Akad. Handl. xvii, 86, 1 880-81. I 

 change the name of the species to dubia. 



Page 322. Drusilla Leach is pre-occupied ; Astilbus Steph. takes its 

 place. 



Page 336. Macroterma borealis Casey. This genus will probably not 

 stand, and borealis is pre-occupied by Atheta borealis Sahib = alramen- 

 taria Gyllh. 



Atheta {Homalota} granulata Mannh. Mannerheim described the spe- 

 cies as an Aleochara, and not as a Homalota ; granulata is identical with 

 graminicola Gravh. The generic name Elytrusa is superfluous. 



Page 351. Leptusa tricolor Casey. The specific name tricolor is pre- 

 occupied by Scriba for a species from Spain (Scriba, Heyd. Sp. 75). I 

 change the name of the species to caseyi. A. FENVES, M. D.

ENTOMOLOGICAL GLEANINGS FROM ALL QUARTERS 

 OF THE GLOBE. 



I HAVE taken the liberty of writing you on this occasion concerning a 

 matter which I feel sure will be of interest to you and worthy of your 

 consideration. 



This is in relation to the forming of an entomological club here in 

 Southern California. The time is surely at hand when an organization of 

 this nature should meet with success. Within the past few days a num- 

 ber of enthusiasts in this line have assembled and discussed the matter in 

 question, and they are all of the opinion that the project will surely 

 carry. 



The names of those interested in entomology in and about Los Angeles 

 have been listed, and notices will be sent out to all with the hopes of their 

 becoming interested in the matter, and so much so that they will attend 

 the first meeting for organization, to be held at my residence, 1410 South 

 Burlington Avenue, on the evening of Thursday, January 17, at eight 

 o'clock. E. K. HARVEY.
