214 PROCEEDINGS ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY 



Mr. Cushman said that in the work on the parasites of the 

 boll weevil two species of Aphiochceta had been bred under 

 conditions indicating parasitism. 



Mr. Banks replied, mentioning the long discussion before 

 Phora aleticp was proven not parasitic, and therefore he hesi- 

 tates to claim parasitism until positive. 



After a very interesting outline by Mr. Busck of his collect- 

 ing experiences in Panama, the chair called on Mr. Grovener, 

 of Oxford, England, who made some remarks on his impres- 

 sions of entomology in this country. 



The following papers were accepted for publication: 



A NOTE ON A GENUS OF TENTHREDINID^E. 



BY S. A. ROHWER. 

 Genus ENISCIA Thomson . 



Rohwer 1 designated the type of Eniscia Thomson as Ten- 

 thredo consobina Klug, but in so doing overlooked Konow's 2 

 remarks on the subject, in which he indicates that the type of 

 Thomson's genus should be the second species, artica Thom- 

 son. Although Konow does not definitely designate the type, 

 the fact that he indicates such a designation combined with 

 elimination (consobina had been placed in Sciapteryx) will, 

 no doubt, serve to fix arctica as the type of Eniscia. The 

 Ischyrocercea hyperborea Kiaer has been shown to be a syno- 

 nym of Eniscia arctica Thomson, so the synonymy is: 



ENISCIA Thomson. 



Type: Eniscia arctica Thomson. 

 Syn: Ischyrocersea Kiaer. 



Type: (Ischyrocersea hyperborea Kiaer) = Eniscia artica 

 Thomson.
