vestigations of the breeding places of mosquitoes in Florida. 
(An abstract of this paper is printed in this number.) 
The Secretary read a number of letters in regard to the change 
of name of the official organ of the Society. The majority of 
the writers were in favor of the name “‘FLORIDA ENTOMOLOGIST”’. 
A resolution was passed directing the Secretary to call the 
attention of the State Board of Health to the breeding of mos- 
quitoes on the property of the railroads and especially in the 
water barrels on the freight platforms. 
Under Timely Notes Prof. Watson called attention to the 
apparent absence of the camphor thrips from the lower East 
Coast. 
New members elected were: Max Kisliuk, Jr., Scientific Assis- 
tant, U. S. Marine Hospital, Wilmington, N. C.; J. G. Grossen- 
bacher and R. E. Lenfest, both of Apopka, Fla.; Wm. E. Stone 
and Wm. H. Merrill, Agents Bureau of Entomology, U.S. D. A.,

Described from four females and three males collected by Mr. G. B. 
Merrill from under the cap scales of several cocoanuts taken at quarantine 
at Key West during March and April, 1920. Type in the author’s collec- 
tion. Paratypes in the National Museum and in that of the University of 
Florida. 
This species is close to H. gowdeyi (Franklin), but differs in many 
characters, including the shape of the head, absence of striations, color of 
antennae and abdomen.
