United States: lecontei, gloriosa, zvoodi and beyeri. The latter was from 

 Arizona and zvoodi added by Mr. Wenzel from northern Texas. 



Mr. Leng also exhibited Exochoinus scapularis Gorh. from the Huachuca 

 Mts., Ariz. He spoke of the distribution of Coccinellidse brought from Jamaica 

 by Mr. Grossbeck, among which were: 



Brachyacantha bistripustulata from Brownsville, Tex., through Central 

 America to Brazil. 



Cycloneda sangninea var. immaculata, including slight variations from the 

 United States, including California, throughout Central America, West Indies 

 and South America to Brazil. 



Psyllobora nana, from Cuba and Jamaica. Closely allied species occur 

 throughout United States, Central America, South America to Brazil and 

 West Indies. 



Psyllobora nigro-vittata, described from Jamaica. 



Hyperaspis connectens from West Indies and Mexico. 



Procula douei, described from Jamaica. 



Scymniis, several small species not named. 



Of the six species, two are, so far as known, peculiar to Jamaica, the 

 remainder are found also in tropical America, i. e., Brownsville, Texas, 

 Mexico, Central America, Venezuela, Colombia and Brazil. Two extend into 

 temperate United States, but in modified form. 



Meeting of January i6, 1912. 



A regular meeting of the New York Entomological Society was held 

 January 16, 1912, at 8.15 P. M. in the American Museum of Natural History, 

 President Dr. Raymond C. Osburn in the chair and sixteen members present. 



The resignation of Mr. A. C. Weeks as a member of the Society was read 

 and, on motion of Mr. Angell, was accepted with regret. 



Mr. Leng spoke of the Cicindelidce of the West Indies and exhibited the 

 specimens in the collection of the American Museum and those in the collec- 

 tion of Mr. Harris, loaned for the purpose. He stated that three species of 

 the genus Tetracha were known to occur in the West Indies and nine species 

 of the genus Cicindela and that of the twelve species six were confined to the 

 West Indies. Of the remaining six, five occur also in South America, one 

 occurs also in the United States. Of the five which occur in South America, 

 two are widely distributed and reach Central America and the United States 

 as well as the West Indies. The strong relation with South America and the 

 considerable number of species peculiar to the West Indies are apparently 

 remarkable features of the tiger beetle fauna, but further data are required to 

 make this certain. 



Mr. Schaeffer spoke of the longicorn beetle Crioprosopus magnificus, and 

 exhibited specimens of it and allied species. He stated that this species could 

 not be referred to Crioprosopus with complete propriety, nor to any other 

 established genus. The limitations of genera throughout the family Ceram- 

 bycidffi are such as to require the erection of new genera often for a single
