ERRATA. 



Mr. H. W. Wenzel wishes to note the following correction in the min- 

 utes of December 19, 1906, Ent. News, XVIII, p. 68, in his reference to 

 the color variation in the genus Phanaeus, it should read Phanaeus ignius, 

 instead of in the genus Phanaeus. 



Pages numbered 164 and 165 in the News for April, 1907, should have 

 been 163 and 164 respectively. After line 6, page 140, insert "type of 

 Walker's carbonarius in the British Museum collec-"
