L. antennata, sp. nov. 
This species is intermediate between /rist#s and crinzfa, while evid- 
ently distinct from both. It has the size, vestiture, and general habitus 
of ¢riséis, but the smooth, shining surface of crzmfa. The female is re- 
cognizable by the shining surface, associated with the vestiture of /riséis. 
The antennz of the male have the club distinctly longer than the stem, 
and much longer than in /risf/’s, without attaining the abnormal develop- 
ment of crzzita. Size of ¢rists. 
Habitat—Texas. 
The collection of the U. S. Nat'l Museum contains a long series of 
males, and but a single female. There is no variation whatever, except 
a very slight one in size. The ventral characters are as in “#7sfis. I have 
seen other specimens than those in the Museum Collection, and all are 
from Texas. It is probably common locally. 
I shall be glad to name Lachunosterna for collectors for the privilege 
of keeping what may prove desirable for study.

Editorial Notes. 
As will be noted from the first page of the cover, there has been a 
complete change of the editorial staff of Enromotocica Americana, At 
the April meeting of the Society Mr. Hulst resigned his editorial position 
on the plea of lack of time to properly attend to the work, and insisted 
on his resignation notwithstanding the decided disinclination on the part 
of the Society to accept it. A unanimous vote of thanks for able manner 
in which he had conducted the Journal, was tendered Mr. Hulst. Mr. 
Roberts thereupon followed the example of Mr. Hulst, and on the same 
plea—business engagements—-resigned his post as assistant, a resignation 
also reluctantly accepted. The choice of the Society for the vacant posi- 
tions fell upon myself as editor, and Mr. F. H. Chittenden as assistant 
editor. Being again settled so near New York City as to be practically of 
it, I have accepted the office, and we are now back in the editorial chair, 
ready to poke advice or criticism at those who need or deserve it. The 
chair feels familiar, but it has grown since we were last in it, and our 
readers must indulge us a little, until we learn to fill it as well as our 
predecessor. As Mr. Hulst will continue to contribute as heretofore, and 
has promised us his assistance, we hope to satisfy all reasonable demands.

We have received Bulletin No. 1 of the Central Experiment Station 
at Washington, which contains some information of entomological in- 
terest which we will try to present to our readers in the next number.
