N. Y.," of which nine were undescribed or heretofore unrecorded from Amer- 

 ica, as well as many insects of other orders. 



Mr. Mutchler spoke of " Genitalia of Polyphylla," exhibiting more than 50 

 dissected specimens and drawings of their genitalia by Mr. Olsen. He said 

 the work started with an effort to identify the numerous specimens collected 

 in Arizona and California by Dr. Lutz and Dr. Bequaert and with hopes that 

 differences in genitalia would support the rather feeble superficial characters 

 by which the species described since Leconte's time are differentiated. Thus 

 far the result was not favorable to the retention of many names. 



Mr. Burns exhibited Tropea luna var. rubromarginata Davis caught at 

 Arrochar, Staten Island, May 2, 1919. 



Mr. Davis said that Papilio turnus was seen near Oakwood, Staten Island, 

 on April 22, 1919, while in company with Mr. Edw. J. Burns. The first record 

 of 1918 was April 24, Palisade, N. J., mentioned in the minutes, XXVI, p. 232. 



Mr. Gaudin said that he had seen a specimen even earlier; on April 19. 



Mr. Davis exhibited Pselliopis barberi, a hemipteron of which Dr. H. H. 

 Knight had taken 76 at Springfield, Mo., on trunks of sycamore, and an allied 

 species, pointing out the differences and early date of appearance and mating. 



Mr. Davis also exhibited Orthoptera from Philippine Islands, received 

 through the kindness of Professor Funkhouser.
