of the tribe Theratini from the same area, of the tribe Cicindelini, in its 

 oriental subtribes, from New Caledonia, New Holland, Australia, South Asia, 

 Africa, Java and Borneo, of the tribe Megacephalini (to which belongs our 

 Tefracha), from Africa; of the tribes Mantichorini and Platychilini from 

 southern Africa. In connection with Tetracha, Mr. Harris announced that the 

 species from Everglade, Fla., made known by Mr. Davis, had been identified 

 by Dr. Walther Horn as T. chevrolati Chd., never before reported outside of 

 Yucatan. 



Mr. Davis said that he had not personally collected the specimens, which 

 were sent to him after his return to New York by the sons of his host at 

 Everglade, Mr. Storter; May, June and July appeared to be their season. 

 This occurrence of a Central American species in southern Florida was paral- 

 leled, Mr. Davis said, by the previously recorded capture by Mr. Sleight at 

 Miami of Phrixa maya, and possibly by his own capture at Lake Okechobee 

 of a longicorn beetle, Dorcasta obtusa, a member of a genus known to occur 

 in Cuba, but more developed in Central America, whence several species have 

 been described. 



Mr. Dow read a paper entitled " A Bit of Classification in the Making " 

 in which a letter from Dr. Sharp to Dr. Leconte in reference to the Haliplidae 

 and other groups was included. 



Mr. Dow also spoke of Phytonomus alfalfa: coming from Dr. Titus, in 

 Utah, and distributed specimens ; he also recorded Malachins a-neits collected 

 by A. B. Champlain near New Haven, Conn. 



Mr. Leng called attention to Gyascutus carolinensis as recorded from 

 Harbor Island, Bahamas, in C. C. Nutting's " Bahama Expedition " the cap- 

 ture and identification being credited to Professor Wickham. 



Mr. Schaeffer said the original description of this species from North 

 Carolina was simply an error, due to the first specimens having reached Dr. 

 Horn in a bottle with Carolinian insects. Subsequent captures have shown its 

 actual habitat to be Sonoran.
