Exhibitions. 
ConiopTeRYX LArvaE.—Mr. C. B. Witurams exhibited 
two larvae of Coniopteryx tinerformis, eight of which were 
beaten from pines at Oxshott on the 16th inst. So far as he 
was aware this larva had not been recorded since Curtis’s 
** British Entomology,” and there were only two continental 
records of larvae of this family. 
Mr. C. O. WareRHOUSE remarked that he had exhibited to 
the Society, some few years ago, a coloured drawing of this 
larva, made from a specimen beaten by himself out of pine, 
but did not know whether it had been recorded.* 
THE GENUS EciTon and MyrmecopHites.—Mr. Donis- 
THORPE exhibited various species of ants of the genus Eciton, 
the “ Wander Ants,” and gave some account of their interest- 
ing habits. He remarked that a number of Myrmecophiles 
run with them on their wanderings, including some 30 species 
of Staphylinidae, a few bugs, etc. 
Mr. G. E. Bryant observed that he had taken four or five 
species of Coleoptera with these ants in Brazil. 
ANTS FROM THE UNITED STATES AND FROM SWITZERLAND.— 
Mr. W. C. Crawtey exhibited a few ants collected during 
September 1909, in Pennsylvania and Cleveland, Ohio, in- 
cluding Polyergus lucidus and Formica rubicunda, two of the 
slave-makers, with their slaves; and some species collected 
with Dr. Forel in Switzerland, August 1912. Among the latter 
were six species and sub-species of Leptothorax, Myrmica 
rubida, M. rugulosa, and M. schencki, ¢ ¢ of Formicoxenus 
nitidulus, Polyergus rufescens taken during a_ slave-raid, 
Plagiolepis pygmaea, Lasius myops, Colobopsis truncata, LL, 2 
* The drawing was exhibited March 18th, 1908, and is recorded on 
p. xxii of the Proceedings for that year. Only the generic name, 
however, is given.—[ED. |
