Myrmidone seems doubtful. Argynnis J^dwardsii is surely a 

 good species, against Staudinger's o])iiiion. Grapta Faunus is 

 G. c-alhum var. b. QDec. 11, 1874.) 



§ 25. Extent of the North American Faunal Re- 

 gion Southwards. Dr. H. A. Hagen called attention to 

 the circumstance that none of the Agrionina, Gomphina or 

 Cordulina found in America were found either in Europe or 

 in Asia. He said that although, when he wrote his Synopsis 

 of the [Pseudoneuroptera and] Neuroptera of North America, 

 he had considered the fauna of the Antilles and of Central 

 America a part of the North American fauna, he had since 

 found these faunge to be more closely connected than he knew 

 them to be then. He had found that some southern forms of 

 insects go northwards as far as Long Island, Nantucket, and 

 the south shore of Cape Cod. [See Psyche, vol. i, p. 64 ; 

 Proc, § 2.] {March 12, 1875.') 



§ 26. Attachment of Pollinia to Insects. Dr. H. 

 A. Hagen spoke upon the possibility of error in the descrip- 

 tion of some insects, occasioned by the attachment of foreign 

 substances to them, and cited as an instance a case of the 

 attachment of the pollinia of Asclepias to the tarsi of the inter- 

 mediate legs of a Mantispa, which he had described without 

 being aware of their true nature. {April 9, 1875.)
