JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS. Hi 



Breslau on the 18th and 19th of September 1833. A Section for 

 Entomology was established, having Professor Zavvadski for the 

 President, and Professors Gravenhorst and Schumrael for Secre- 

 taries. M. Fitzinger of Vienna annomiced a new work on the 0?- 

 tlioptera, by Professor Reichenbach, and the completion of the work 

 upon European Lepidopteia by Treitschke. Dr. Hammerschmidt 

 exhibited a new Austrian species of Gryllus, and read a notice upon 

 Lojjiujrus inniperda ; he also announced a work by the Royal Agri- 

 cultural Society of Vienna upon Noxious Insects, and communicated 

 several Memoirs upon Tinea granella by Messrs. Kollar and him- 

 self, upon Bostrichus typograj^hus and villosus by the Count de 

 Beraldingen, upon Haltica by Dr. Wundram, and upon Noctua 

 aquiiina by M. Kollar. He also made some observations upon a 

 new Dipterous insect, the Cecidomijia Tritici, which during the year 

 had caused great ravages to the wheat in Hungary. Also upon the 

 galls upon plants produced by insects, with an attempt at their classi- 

 fication, which he ilhistrated by figures of not less than 250 different 

 species of galls, and the insects producing them. He also stated, 

 that having reared the larvae (which he exhibited) of Eucnemis de- 

 Jlexicollis and E. ])cilUda, these insects were only varieties of the 

 same species, as is also the case with Engis humcralis and E. pal- 

 lida. He also exhibited various specimens oi" Diaperis Boleti, which 

 he had reared, and which, from their great difference in size, proved 

 that this character was inapplicable to the distinction of species ; 

 likewise two Coleopterous monstrosities, namely, a Procrustes Coria- 

 ceus with a tubercle on each elytron, and a Carahus morbillosus with 

 a forked appendage upon each elytron ; as well as two new C'oleo- 

 ptera, Pitlium sulcatuvi and Lalridius rujicollis ; a new species of 

 Araclmida, Thomisus togatiis; and some remarkable varieties of Sal- 

 ticus sanguinolentus, Eresus 4!-guttatus, and Epeira cucurbitina. He 

 also read various Memoirs upon the larvae and imagines of C'ionus 

 ScropJmlaric^, /Esalus Scarabceoides, Nematus intercus, Pyrochroa coc- 

 cinea, Nosodendron fascicular e, Tenebrio molitor, yfcheta gryllotalpa, 

 Staphylinus hirtus, Mylabris variabilis, Meloe proscarabcsus, Pimpla 

 impressor, and Trixagus fumatus ; and exhibited the preparatory 

 states of the following Coleopterous insects, viz., Scolytus Pruni, 

 Coccinella impunctata, Saperda punctata, Trichodes apiarius, Mal- 

 thinus biguttatus, Malacldus ceneus, Telcjyhorus J'uscus, Trogosita 

 caraboides, Megagnathus mandibularis, Pyrochroa coccinea, ^Esalus 

 Scaraboeoides, Silpha sublerranea, Eccoptogaster Scolytus, Triplax 

 nigripennis, Ccrylon sulcicollc, Synchita humeralis, and Hololepta 

 plana. Professor Zavvadski exhibited various new Coleoplera from
