A NEW COPIPANOLIS. 



BY JOHN B. SMITH. 



Gopipanolis stigma sp. nov. — Head, thorax and primaries deep brick-red; 

 palpi paler. Primaries with a slight admixture of yellowish scales, most evi- 

 dent along costal region. Median lines vaguely marked, scarcely defined; 

 ordinary spots yellowish white; orbicular small, round; reniform moderate 

 in size, rather irregular. Secondaries whitish at base, with reddish powder- 

 ings, becoming more dense outwardly. Beneath somewhat paler than above, 

 more obviously yellow powdered. Expands 1.15 inches ; 29 mm. 



Hub. — Florida. 



A single male specimen from Mrs. Slosson's collection. The 

 species is like aibilis in ground color, but lacks the distinct median 

 lines, and, on the contrary, has the ordinary spots distinct, con- 

 trasting, yellowish white. In structure and habitus it otherwise 

 resembles the typical species closely. 



SOCIETY NEWS 



Brooklyn Entomological Society. — September 2d. The meeting 

 was occupied by an exchange of collecting and other entomological expe- 

 riences. Mr. Dietz gave an account of the field meeting at Jamesburg, and 

 Mr. Chittenden exhibited a series of rare species of Coleoptera, principally 

 Carabidae, taken at an electric light at Orange, N. J., in June. 



October 7th. — Meeting at the Hoagland Laboratory. The time was 

 largely taken up by business matters, much of it due to the fire, which de- 

 stroyed part of the Brooklyn Institute building, and necessitated a removal 

 of the property and effects of the Society. Fortunately, the Society's loss 

 was slight. 



Prof .Smith called attention to a series of studies on the mouth parts of 

 Diptera, made by himself, and presented in outline a new nomenclature of 

 parts, homologizing the lapping with the mandibulate mouth, and he told 

 how the latter had become transformed into the former, all the steps being 

 still traceable. A. C. Weeks, 



Recording Secretary.
