As the eggs are known to require from two to three years to hatch, the 

 insect will probably appear in numbers in 1922 or 1923. 



While near Black Pond, Fairfax County, Virginia, on September 

 25, 1921, Mr. Qarence R. Shoemaker called the attention of the writer 

 to a female Amblycorypha rotundifolia (Scudder) on a bush. It was 

 a green example with the tegmina marbled with straw-color, which 

 seems to be a rare variation. It is the only specimen so marked in the 

 writer's collection. Straw-colored males have been found which some- 

 times have the tegmina spotted with small dots of a darker brown. 

 Pink individuals are much more common in obloiigifoUa than in this 

 species. — Wm. T. Davis. 



PROCEEDINGS OF THE NEW YORK ENTOMOLOGI- 

 CAL SOCIETY. 



Meeting of Feb. i. 



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

 8 P.M. on February i, 1921, in the American Museum of Natural History, 

 Pres. John D. Sherman, Jr., in the chair, with 14 members and one visitor 

 present. 



Mr. Edward Davis Quirsfeld, 523 4th St., Union Hill, N. J., was elected 

 an active member. 



A letter from Mr. R, P. Dow, absent in California, was read. 



Mr. Nicolay gave the result of his examination of the Pselaphidae of 

 Mr. Davis' collection, calling attention especially to specimens of Batri- 

 sodes foveicornis from Amagansett, Flushing and Jamaica, Long Island, and 

 of Batrisodes globosus from Staten Island, April 17th, 1908; and then read 

 a paper on " Acmaeoderse " illustrated by two boxes from his collection and 

 blackboard drawings of the parts used in classifying the species by Prof. H. 

 C. Fall, in his last revision. Some rare species from the collections of Beyer, 

 Notman, Mason, Woodgate, Fisher, Rehn and Hebard were pointed out. 



Mr. Wm. T. Davis, under the title " Insects from North Carolina," ex- 

 hibited four large boxes of insects and stated that he and Mr. James P. 

 Chapin of the American Museum of Natural History had visited North Caro- 

 lina in June, 1920. Nine days were spent at Southern Pines where the tree 

 frog Hyla andersonii and the carpenter frog Rana virgetipes were collected ; 

 the former has not previously been reported from North Carolina. Three 

 species of Pitcher Plants, namely : Sarracenia purpurea, Sarracenia flava 

 and Sarracenia rubra, grow in the vicinity of Southern Pines. While so fatal 

 to many insects that are lured to their death by the leaves of these plants, 

 there are nevertheless quite a number of species that either eat the substance
