Meeting of March 19. 



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

 8:00 P. M., March 19, 1918, in the American Museum of Natural History, 

 President Lewis B. Woodruff in the chair, with 14 members and four visitors 

 present. 



Mr. Leng called attention to the approaching twenty-fifth anniversary of 

 the Society's incorporation on June 7, 1893, and suggested that a special meet- 

 ing be held June 7, 1918, to celebrate it. 



On motion the matter was referred to the Executive Committee. 



Mr. Davis read a paper on the " Introduction of Palsearctic Mantids in 

 the North Atlantic States " illustrated by many specimens of Tenodera sinensis 

 and Mantis religiosa and the native Stagtnomantis Carolina, with their egg 

 masses and nymphs. This will be printed in full in the Bull. Br. Ent. Soc. 



In the discussion that followed, Messrs. Engelhardt, Barber and Watson 

 gave further details of their captures, recorded by Mr. Davis. Mr. Davis also 

 described his journey from Farmingdale to Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island, 

 in June, 1917, particularly in reference to the West Hills and Millville. The 

 most interesting capture resulted from finding 2y curled leaves under a poplar, 

 near Cold Spring Harbor, from which emerged a tortricid moth, Anachampsis 

 innoctiella. As will be printed in Miscellaneous Notes, the discovery that the 

 leaves are deliberately cut off by the larvae seemed new. Other notes made 

 by Mr. Davis are as follows : Along the road in the West Hills, first a female 

 and then a male of the beautiful geometrid moth Nacophora quernaria was 

 found. The black and white color pattern, conspicuously contrasted in the 

 female, is most intricate ; and a careful comparison of the wings will show 

 that to a certain e-xtent the bilateral resemblance is not maintained in every 

 particular. 



A colony of grasshoppers, Eritetti.v carinatus was found on top of High 

 Hill (410 ft.), one of the West Hills, and Long Island's highest ground. 



In the Cicindela field at Cold Spring five Cicindela generosa, one tranqtte- 

 barica, three rugifrons, and eight modesta were found on June 21. Since the 

 destruction of the Aqueduct locality, this is the only known place on Long 

 Island where Cicindela modesta can be found, and all the specimens from 

 Cold Spring are spotted like those found on Staten Island, and no immaculate 

 individuals, such as used to occur at -Aqueduct, have been collected.
