Dr. Johnson forwarded also a collection of typical eastern 
Trypetidae, with notes as follows: “Eutreta sparsa Wied. infests 
Solidago, forming swellings on the new shoots near the ground. 
The galls are figured in ‘Thompson’s ‘Illustrated Catalogue of 
American Insect Galls,’ p. 55, pl. 10, fig. 315. I enclose a Cali- 
fornia specimen. The western examples seem to differ somie- 
what from the eastern, and I sometimes wonder if they are 
really the same. Eutreta diana O. S. form galls on Artemesia. 
In the allied genus Eurosta, two closely related species will form 
very different galls.or attack two species of plants. Eurosta 
solidaginis (Fitch) forms a large, globose gall on the stalks of 
Solidago, far above the ground. Eurosta reticulata Snow makes 
an elongate gall at the base of new growth. Eurosta comma 
(Wied.) makes a peanut-like gall on the roots of Solidago 
rugosa. Eurosta elsa makes about the same shaped galls on the 
roots of Solidago juncea, according to Daecke, Ent. News, 
ve Sop G4 pr 10, 1910” 
In addition to specimens of these species, Dr. Johnson for- 
warded to the Museum specimens of Straussia longipennis 
(Wied.) ; Acidia fratria (Loew) ; Oedaspis atra Loew; Rhago- 
letis pomonella (Walsh), the apple maggot; Aciura insecta 
(Loew); Icterica seriata (Loew); Tephritis albiceps Loew; 
Euaresta bella (Loew); and Trypeta palposa Loew. 
Mr. W. H. Cowdry, a visitor, made a few remarks. He stated 
that, although he had not attended an entomological meeting 
for fifty years, he was one of the first members of the Ento- 
mological Society of Canada. He had been to North China col- 
lecting botanical specimiens, and found that the lack of forests 
there made the number of species of insects very small. 
MARCH 2, 1922. 
The 197th meeting of the Hawaiian Entomological Society 
was held at the experiment station of the Hawaiian Sugar 
Planters’ Association, with Vice-President Fullaway presiding. 
Other members present were Messrs. Bissell, Bryan, Giffard, 
Illingworth, Muir, Rosa, Swezey, Timberlake, Wilder, and 
Willard. 
The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved.
