genera will have to be discovered, and the missing genera may be hypo- 

 thetically indicated as far as the tarsal structure by any one whose inclin- 

 ations run that way. 



In the tribe Chimlnni the tarsi are 4-4-4 in both sexes in the 

 three genera known to me. 



The antenna; of the Aiiisotomini exhibit a somewhat similar tendency 

 to numerical modifications: tirst, by having nine or ten joints; second, 

 by the variation of the number of joints compt)sing the club, being either 

 three, four or five. 



In view of the facts above presented I cannot adopt the course of 

 Dr. Sharp in separating Scotocryptus as a distinct tribe based on the num- 

 ber of tarsal joints, while the absence of eyes is but rarely of generic value 

 and in some instances merely sexual. 



SriV'OiV^ZMiC'^i NOTES. 

 My attention has been called by Mr. S. Henshaw to the omission 

 of the following species from my list of those described by Mr. 

 Newman. George H. Horn. 



Catogenus puncticollis, Ann. Mag. N. H., 1839, p. 399 = C. rufus Fabr. 

 Endomychus perpulcher, Ent. Mag. V, p. 390 = Mycetina perpulchra Newm. 

 .Schizotus cervicali.s, Ent. Mag. V, p. 374. 

 Cicindela ventraiis, Ent. Mag. V, p. 414. 



The species is not recognizably described, the name is preoccupied 

 antl should be dropped.

The next meeting of the American Association for the Advancement 

 of Science will be held at Ann Arbor, ]\Iich,, commencing August 26th, 

 1885. The Entomological Club will meet at that place on August 25th 

 according to its by-laws: exact locality not yet determined. 



Will those members of the Club, or other Entomologists who ex 

 pect to be present, please notify one of the undersigned, and also send 

 in the title of any papers they expect to read, and the length of time they

 place and hour of meeting, as well as the programme so far as fixed, will
