Twentieth Report of the State Entomologist on injurious and other insects 

 of the State of New York, 1904, New York State Museum, Bul- 

 letin 97, Entomology 24. By Ephraim Porter Felt, State 

 Entomologist, Albany, New York, State Education Department,

Dr. Felt's report covers 206 pages with 19 plates and an index. 

 A general account occupies 84 pages ; then 58 pages are devoted to

 York State by Herbert Osborn, a list of the Hemiptera taken in the 

 Adirondack Mts. by E. P. VanDuzee and of the Lepidoptera taken at 

 Keene Yalley by G. F. Comstock. The plates all refer to the article 

 on Culicidse. The wing scales are given of several exotic species 

 and figures from photographs of the genitalia of 32 species, most of 

 which are here figured for the first time. Only a few of the species 

 are native to New York and are mainly widely exotic. We find the 

 figures most valuable and interesting, but cannot help feeling that the 

 place of publication is a mistake. One of the regular entomological 

 journals would have been more appropriate. 



Dr. Felt describes a new species, Culiselsa auroides (p. 449) both 

 adult and larva, which he finds allied to aurifer Coq. He has kindly 

 loaned us his slides of this larva, which appears to us rather allied to 

 trivittatus Coq., as it falls next thereto in our tables. He proposes
