NOTES AND EXHIBITIONS. 



Mr. Ehrhorn exhibited six nymphs of Cicadidae which he 

 had recently found in soil amongst roots of plants {Azalea, 

 etc.) imported from Japan. 



Mr. Muir exhibited three male specimens of Adoretus: 

 one the Japanese rose beetle of the Hawaiian Islands, one from 

 Hongkong, and one from Malay Peninsula. In external char- 

 acters they could not be separated, but their genitalia, which 

 had been dissected out, showed distinct diiferences, thus indi- 

 cating them to be three different species, and illustrating the 

 difficulty often met with in distinguishing species unless the 

 genital characters are examined. 



Mr. Muir also exhibited specimens of two species of Tricho- 

 grammids recently bred from the eggs of Draeculacephala mol- 

 li'pes. The parasites had been found so abundant that of a few 

 dozen egg-batches of this Jassid found in sedges in the swamps 

 where it lives, no Jassids hatched, all of the eggs being parasit- 

 ized. Mr. Fnllaway had examined these Trichograminids and 

 pronounced them as belonging to the genera J assido plithora and 

 Westwoodella respectively. 



Mr. Fnllaway exhibited a collection of insects made on Lay- 

 san Island and French Frigate Shoals, Dec. 20-30, 1912. There 

 were about sixty species in all, twelve of them being moths. 

 Mr. Swezey had determined the latter and found two new spe- 

 cies among them: a N esainiptis and an Omiodes.
