date of publication. The author has been overwhelmed by his wealth 

 of material and the rapidity of the pace that has been set in the study 

 of these insects. We are of the opinion that the name Sabethinge 

 should obtain for this group, as founded on the oldest included genus. 



Lutz's table of genera is translated from the Portugese and copied, 

 with sundry mutilations, which are not pointed out. Dr. Lutz is able 

 to prepare a table in proper dichotomous form, but the translation 

 would not lead one to think so. On page 593 a figure is copied from 

 Goeldi which purports to be " Siphon of Trichoprosopon nivipes Theo- 

 bald." That this really represents the larva of Limatus diirhami 

 Theob., probably makes no difference to our author, since apparently 

 all larvse look alike to him. It might, however, mislead some reader 

 who was not acquainted with Dr. Goeldi's work. 



Theobald retains Trichoprosopon (not Trichoprosopus Macq. ) in- 

 stead of Joblotia Blanchard, regarding the difference in termination 

 as sufficient distinction. We do not concur in this view, the names 

 meaning the same and being so similar as to cause confusion. Still 

 this is a matter subject to opinion ; but not so the use of Joblotia for 

 a distinct genus, which is wholly unwarranted. That genus should be 

 known as Lesticocampa D. & K. 



The genera Philodendromyia and Polylepidomyia are placed here ; 



but as both are stated to have the metanotum nude, this position is 



incomprehensible, unless indeed a deliberate attempt has been made 



to confuse the reader.

NOTICE FROM THE NEWARK ENTOMOLOICAL 



SOCIETY. 



The headquarters of the Newark Entomological Society on the 

 fourth floor of the Newark Turn Hall were completely destroyed by 

 fire in the early morning of June 3, 1907. The conflagration de- 

 molished not only the entire building, but resulted in the loss of three 

 lives. 



The property of the Society consisted of a forty drawer cabinet 

 containing one thousand specimens of Lepidoptera and two thousand
