Triepeolus Eldredi, n. sp. — ^. Length, ^2 mm.; black, including 

 the legs, but the small joints of the tarsi are dark reddish, and there is a 

 bright ferruginous patch on the flagellum in front near the base, occupying 

 parts of the third and fourth antennal segments ; pubescence of thorax and 

 abdomen above dull creamy, but of face, pleura and legs silvery-white ; 

 mandibles with a reddish median spot ; labrum black ; face and nearly all 

 of clypeus covered with shining silvery hair ; pleura entirely covered with 

 hair ; mesothorax dull and rough, deeply longitudinally sulcate, with a 

 reniform black area, which is joined to the margin by a black band 

 anteriorly ; anterior part of mesothorax with a transverse band of light 

 hair, but there is a narrow black area between this and the prothorax j 

 tegulie black, punctured ; third submarginal cell very broad above ; 

 scutellum bigibbous, the lateral teeth very small ; abdomen 6-banded, the 

 last one whiter than the others ; black area on first segment a transverse 

 band ; bands on first and second segments quite entire ; band on second 

 segment with a lobular projection at each extreme side, but this projection

 broad, clean-cut transverse black band on first abdominal segment, the 

 third s. m. wider above, the broader and flatter scutellum, the duller 

 mesothorax and tegulje, the pleura covered with hair, and the red spot on

ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF ONTARIO. 

 Montreal Branch. 



Three meetings have been held since the summer recess, one during 



each month. At these the members exhibited their summer catches, and 



discussed them with each other. A certain genus was set aside at each 

 meeting for comparison, and we have had discussions on Xylina, 

 Acronycta and Datana, the members exhibiting any specimens that they 

 had obtained ; Mr. Lyman gave his experience with each genus, and 

 helped to clear up some of the difticulties. Mr. Chagnon read papers on 

 Coleoptera, particularly one on the genus Chrysobothris, and exhibited all 

 of the known Canadian species. Mr. Denny read a paper on "Collecting 

 Catocalas in the daytime," and exhibited a number of specimens that he 

 had taken. Mr. Moore reported on Hemiptera taken at Como, P. Q., 

 during the past summer, and exhibited specimens. Gko. A. Moore.
