66 Psyche May- June 



at level of posterior major marginal seta. Pores fewer again on 

 the last several plates. 



Sternite of pregenital segment broad, trapeziform. Coxopleural 

 glands two on each side, simple, the pores covered by the sternite. 



Last legs in the male clavately enlarged, scarcely exceeding the 

 penult in length. Unfortunately these became detached and lost 

 in the course of the clearing of the specimen for mounting for 

 microscopical study. 



Number of pairs of legs in the male, thirty-five. 



Length of the t^pe, 7.5 mm. 



It is thought best not completely to dissect the head of the single 

 type specimen at this time. Hence mandibles and maxillae are 

 not described in detail. 



PROCEEDINGS OF THE CAMBRIDGE 

 ENTOMOLOGICAL CLUB. 



At the meeting of the Cambridge Entomological Club February 

 10, on account of the diflBculties of travel only 14 persons attended. 

 The meeting voted to approve the publication, in Psyche, of 

 abstracts of the proceedings of the Club meetings and of local 

 entomological news. 



Prof. C. T. Brues read some notes on distribution of South Afri- 

 can Hymenoptera. several of which occur or have their nearest 

 relatives in South America or India rather than in more northern 

 parts of Africa. Professor Wheeler read a satire on human so- 

 ciety from the supposed standpoint of a member of a colony of 

 Termites. This paper is published in the Scientific Monthly of 

 February. 19^20. 



Mr. Vara* showed a beetle with a branched tibia of one of the 

 third pair of legs, and this was followed by discussion of abnormal 

 insert legs in general. 



At the meeting of March 9. ^Ir. J. H. Emerton read some notes 

 on last season's collections of spiders in Canada, including speci- 

 mens from the Rocky Mountains, near Banff, Pribiloff Islands, 

 Klondike Valley, Gaspe, St. John's, Newfoundland, Ontario and 

 Quebec. 



^Ir. Frost read notes on the habits, occurrence and classification 

 of several Coleoptera which he had found in Maine — Scythropus 

 elegans, cicendela elegans and cicendela spreta Leer. The latter 

 species he thought to be the same as C. limlalis Klug.
