MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. 



Coenomyia ferruginea Scopoli. — In the Journal of this Society for 

 June, 1917, there is a note on the distribution of this fly about New 

 York City. All of the places mentioned are in the hill country, and 

 no localities are given for Long Island or Staten Island. During the 

 past summer two females of Coenomyia were collected to the south 

 of Wading River, Long Island, one on June 26 at Long Pond, and 

 another on June 2j at Deep Pond. — Wm. T. Davis. 



Cicada hieroglyphica Say. — To the south of Riverhead on Long 

 Island there is a pine barren region resembling the pine barrens of 

 New Jersey where during the warm days in the early part of August, 

 1917, I was pleased to hear the song of Cicada hieroglyphica. Indi- 

 viduals were not very common, but several were seen and examined 

 at close range, but owing to the difficulty of collecting them in the 

 tree-tops, none were secured. This extends the known range of the 

 species about one hundred miles northeastward aloiig the coast and 

 is the first record of its occurrence in New York State. Mr. C. E. 

 Olsen informs me that he is pretty sure he heard the song of this 

 insect in July in pine woods a few miles to the north of Bayshore, on 

 the south side of Long Island. — Wm. T. Davis. 



Acronycta funeralis Grote & Robinson. — A larva of this species 

 was found on Prnnns serotina at Washington Heights, New York 

 City, August 13, 1917. — F. E. Watson.
