10 THE FLORIDA ENTOMOLOGIST 
There has been recently organized in New Orleans the Louis- 
iana Entomological Society. This is the second entomological 
society in the South, ours being the first. Among the list of 
charter members we note the names of two of ours, Thos. H. 
Jones and O. K. Courtney. 
A. C. Mason is now stationed at Orlando, Fla. 
Virgil Clark has resigned from State Plant Board and now has 
charge of Narcoossee Branch of Buckeye Nurseries. 
J. C. Goodwin, Chief Clerk State Plant Board, has resigned, 
effective August 15th. He will take post graduate work at 
Ames, Iowa, next year. 
County Agent K. E. Bragdon has organized a “Bee Club” in 
Volusia County. The club is giving a picnic on July 16th and 
has invited Frank Stirling and Chas. Reese to give a talk on 
apiculture. 
SOME RECENT PUBLICATIONS OF INTEREST TO 
FLORIDIANS 
As senior author of Bulletin 833, U. S: Department of Agricul- 
ture on the Chrysanthemum Midge-Diarthronomia hypogaea 
(F. Low.) Dip.—we find the name of one of our members, Mr. 
C. A. Weigel. 
The Canadian Entomologist for March contains a paper by W. 
S. Blatchley on “Notes on Winter Coleoptera of West and South 
Florida With Descriptions of New Species’. On page 72 he 
mentions Polypleurus geminatus with the statement, “It has not 
been recorded from Florida’. The beetle is included in Dozier’s 
List of the Coleoptera of the Gainesville region. 
Among recent Farmers’ Bulletins, U.S. Bureau of Entomology, 
are the following: No. 1097, by F. C. Bishopp, on the Stable Fly. 
The author illustrates and describes in considerable detail Dr. 
Hodge’s fly trap. No. 1037, by T. E. Snyderison, “White Ants’, 
termites, or as they are commonly called in Florida, “wood lice’’. 
No. 1094, by V. L. Wildermuth, treats of “The Alfalfa Cater- 
pillar” (Hurymus euretheme). Although we have little alfalfa 
in Florida, the butterfly is common. It breeds on various other 
legumes. No. 1061, by F. H. Chittenden, also treats of a com- 
mon Florida insect, the Harlequin Cabbage Bug. The map on 
page 6 “showing the distribution” is very incomplete for Florida.
