recorded from the same locality. On June 3d, at Dacosta, 

 N. J., he captured Tetyra bipunctata, a hemipterous insect, 

 representing a family new to the State. 



Dr. Calvert said in his work on the Biologia Centrali-Ameri- 

 cana, he was particularly interested in the study of widely 

 distributed species and mentioned the coast form Erythrodiplax 

 berenice, which is found from New Jersey southward to Pan- 

 ama. Going from north to south, the veining of the wing 

 in this species becomes less dense. The same speaker also 

 made remarks on the transition or intergradation of butterflies 

 and beetles, as they are distributed from north to south. 



Dr. Skinner exhibited Xylophanes falco, a sphynx moth 

 fiom the Huachuca Mountains, Arizona, and new to the United 

 States. It was captured by C. R. Biederman.

 persons were present. 



Mr. Ug presented twelve blown larvae to the collection. He 

 also exhibited specimens of Utethcsia bclla, showing variation, 

 and among them two specimens of U. ornatrix, all found at 

 Philadelphia. He was inclined to believe that bella and orna- 

 trix were not different species. 



Dr. Calvert said five specimens of Tenodera sinensis were 

 seen in Woodland cemetery, West Philadelphia, during the 

 second week of October, which had probably been introduced 

 from the adjoining grounds of the Botanical Garden of the 

 University of Pennsylvania. 



He also said the Argia translata $ taken at Roxborough, 

 Philadelphia, by Mr. Haimbach in 1905 was the first record 

 for Pennsylvania. The same gentleman took two female speci- 

 mens in the same locality this year. It was described from 

 Venezuela. 



Dr. Calvert captured Chrysina macropus under the electric 

 lights in Jalapa, Mexico. He also saw the species flying dur-
