probably obtain their supply of nectar from the galls or from 
coecids and aphids on the oaks or other components of the 
chaparral. Mr. Leonard has given more extensive accounts of 
their habits at Point Loma. He found that they were nocturnal. 
They visit aphids on carnations and roses, and the nectaries of 
the pepper tree, rattle-snake weed, honey plant, and Ceanthus 
cuneatus of chaparral. 
SOME CHANGES IN THE GENERIC AND SPECIFIC 
NAMES OF PLANT LICH 
In the paper on California plant lice which appeared in the 
last issue of this journal there should be the following changes: 
Monella californica for Callipterus californicus, Eichochaito- 
phorus for Hikochaitophorus, rufrum for rufu, Pullawaya for 
Davidsonia, Mycrella for Micra, Typha for Typho. 
In the December number of the Zoologischer Anzeiger of 
1912, there is a short paper on the family Pantophthalmide of 
the Diptera. There are fifteen text figures and several new 
species described. 
In Vol. I of the Memoirs of the Queensland Museum, issued 
November 27, 1912, there are a number of important ento- 
mological papers. There is an article of 124 pages by A. A. 
Girault on Australian Hymenoptera and three shorter ones by 
W. J. Rainbow on spiders. 
In the Bulletin de la Societe Entomologique de France, No. 1, 
1915, there is given a list of the members of the society. This 
list takes up more than half of this number of the publication 
and covers 38 pages. 
In the journal ‘‘Insecta’’, published by the entomological 
station of the faculty of sciences of Rennes, there is a portrait 
of Latreille, who was born in 1762 and died in Paris in 1833. 
By the writer of the sketch, Latreille is considered to be the 
greatest of all entomologists. He it was who first placed insects 
in their natural orders and established the principal families.
