Crabro wasp which he had observed flying from leaf to leaf and visiting 

 many different glands. It was pointed out that the insecets were probably not 

 guided by color in this instance as they would have been in visiting flowers. 



Mr. Schaeffer showed a pair of Scarabseid beetles, Friihstorferia sexmacu- 

 lata, from Tonkin China, calling attention to the peculiarly elongated man- 

 dibles of the male. 



Meeting of April 4. 1911. 



A regular meeting of the New York Entomological Society was held in 

 American Museum of Natural History, Tuesday, April 4, at 8.15 P. M., with 

 President Leng in the chair and eleven members present. 



The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. 



Mr. Grossbeck, chairman of field committee, reported that the next field 

 meeting would be at Roselle Park, April 16. 



Under scientific discussion Mr. Barber spoke concerning some Hemiptera 

 including seven new species taken mostly at Lakehurst, N. J. 



Mr. Dow, who had recently gone to Jamaica with Mr. Grossbeck, dis- 

 cussed the occurrence of Papilio Iwmenis in that island. 



Mr. Grossbeck reported briefly on the trip. He had found good collect- 

 ing at Kingston, where he spent a few days, but otherwise the collecting was 

 not considered good. Poor results were obtained from beating and only three 

 places were found for water collecting. Many specimens of insects were 

 noted in some cases but only a few species. 



Mr. Davis exhibited a specimen of Libellnla incesta Hag. taken at Lake 

 Hopatcong in 1908, with the hind wings shorter by 5 mm. than the fore- 

 wings, and a specimen of Deilephila lineata Fab. in which the wings were of 

 normal breadth but unusually short.
