date this specific name and it is, therefore, to be credited to him. 

 As stated above, this name falls into synonymy under the earlier 

 established name quercus. 



Considerable damage was done by the above locust during the 

 past season near New Lisbon, N. J. Concerning them and the 

 damage they did Mr. H. B. Scammell writes as follows: ". . . 

 they infested the oak woods near New Lisbon, N. J., to an 

 alarming extent. Some of the tallest oaks were nearly defoliated 



. . . The area infested approximated two square miles." 

 Macropterous individuals and nymphs of both sexes were receive'd 

 from the collector for determination but no brachypterous speci- 

 mens were sent. However, it is quite likely that both long and 

 short winged forms were concerned here as in the case of injuri- 

 ous occurrence reported by Mr. Davis in 1912, Ent. News, Vol. 

 XXIII, p. 2. 



SOME TIPULID SYNONYMY. 



By E. Bergroth, 

 Turtola, Finland. 



The following notes are published as a sequel to those given by 

 me in the Annals and Magazine of Natural History (8) XI, p. 

 578-584. 



1. In the Canadian Entomologist 1913, p. 200-205, x\lexander 

 has described two Japanese species under the names Dicranomyia 

 japonica and D. nehidosa. From the long subcosta and the struc- 

 ture of the male forceps it is clear that these two species belong to 

 the genus Limnohia. Moreover, in japonica, the radial cross- vein 

 is considerably removed from the tip of Ri, a structure which, as 

 pointed out by Osten-Sacken, never occurs in Dicranomyia. Ed- 

 wards (in letter) agrees with me as to the systematic position of 

 these species, and I think there can be little doubt that D. eiseni 

 Al., too, is a Limnohia. D. gloriosa and lutzi, both described by 

 Alexander, should in my opinion also be placed in Limnohia, at 

 least until the forceps in the still unknown males proves to be of 

 the Dicranomyia type. Alexander's conception of these two 

 genera seems to be so different from that of Osten-Sacken and all
