June, 1916.] Proceedings of the Society. 169 



Mr. Mutchler exhibited Chauliognathns marginatus, taken at Ramsey, 

 N. J., April I, by Dr. Lutz. 



Mr. Dow, in a speech entirely beyond the ability of the secretary to re- 

 produce, once more presented in glowing terms the attractiveness of Lahaway, 

 and urged the members to join him in an inspection of the place on Sunday, 

 April 16, when the arbutus will be in bloom. 



Meeting of April 18, 1916. 



A regular meeting of the New York Entomological Society was held 

 April 18, 1916, at 8:15 P.M., in the American Museum of Natural History; 

 Vice-President Lewis B. Woodruff in the chair, with fourteen members 

 present. 



The curator reported donations to the local collection from Messrs. 

 Davis and Leng. 



The librarian reported donation from Mr. J. W. Angell. 



Dr. Lutz read a paper on " The Distribution of Bombns with Notes on 

 certain species of Boreal America," illustrated by boxes of specimens and 

 diagrams showing the phylogeny and range of certain species. The paper will 

 be published in full. 



Mr. Dow spoke of collecting at Lahaway on April 16 with Mr. Bequaert, 

 exhibiting a number of the insects found and donating the more desirable to 

 the local collection and to his fellow members. Tricrania sanguinipennis Say, 

 an addition to Smith's New Jersey List, was found crawling on dune-like 

 banks in a situation similar to that in which it was found last year at Central 

 Park, Long Island, and Mr. Dow remarked that Tettyx was also abundant at 

 both localities. Other interesting captures were Euphoria areata, a Dineutes 

 resembling rohertsi, etc. 



Mr. Dickerson exhibited a number of hymenoptera, diptera, neuroptera 

 and hemiptera found on willow bloom at Chester, N. J., and commented on 

 the absence of beetles.
