236 Journal New York Entomological Society. [Vol. xxiv. 



While the type is so far the only known specimen, this species may 

 be easily separated from all the other described members of the genus 

 by the peculiarly blunt and rounded front and shining black and yel- 

 lowish surface.

LOUIS H. JOUTEL. 



Entomologists will learn with regret of the death of Mr. Joutel at 

 his home in New York City on September 6, 1916. He was well 

 known as a natural history artist whose work was remarkable for its 

 accuracy, and as a careful student of insects. He faithfully served 

 the New York Entomological Society in many ways and for some 

 years was its treasurer, until failing health prevented further ac- 

 tivities. A more extended account of his work will be published in 

 a future number of the Journal. 



CHRISTOPHER H. ROBERTS. 



As we go to press we learn of the death, on September 29, at 

 Pawling, N. Y., of Christopher H. Roberts, a former president of the 

 New York Entomological Society, and one of our best known mem- 

 bers. A more detailed notice will appear in a later issue.
