September 8, 1882. 

 Director Dr. LeConte in the chair. 



The Publication Committee announced the completion of vol. x. of 

 the Transactions of the American Entomological Society to page 104. 



Dr. LeConte read extracts from letters received from Dr. Horn, who 

 was absent in Europe, giving some synonymical notes on our species 

 observed by him. The most important observed was that the species 

 hitherto referred by us to Callimus should constitute a new genus, for 

 which Dr. Horn proposes the name Poecilobrium, which will include not 

 only our P. (Callimus) chalybaeum Lee, but also Vallidium rufipes 

 Fab., of Europe.
