Entomological Literature. 



Transactions ok the American Entomological Society : Vol. 

 xxxii, Nos. 3 and 4 [received at Boulder, Colo., February 11, 1907 ; 

 separates published earlier]. 

 The new part of the Transactions, though not especially bulky, in- 

 cludes eight titles ; three by Schaeffer, on Coleoptera ; one by E. T. 

 Cresson, Jr., on Diptera; one by Kellogg, on Mallophaga; two by 

 Cameron, on wasps, and a list of the bees of New Mexico, by Cockerell. 

 Mr. Chas. Schaeffer treats of Scarabaeidae, Pselaphidae, and Anthri- 

 bidae. The genera allied to Bolboceras are revised, with one new 

 genus, a new species and subspecies, and some generic transfers. The 

 result is as follows — if we use the recently published Bradycinetulus 

 in place of the preoccupied term Bradycinetus.

 There is a new Copris from Arizona, with a table of the species of 

 that genus; three new Lachnosterna species are described; and a new 

 genus (Anoplocephalus) is proposed for a new species from Ari- 

 zona, evidently a fine large form, very distinct from anything else 

 in our fauna. 



In the Pselaphidae six new species are described, from North Caro- 

 lina, Texas, New Mexico and California. The new Anthribidae in- 

 crude sixteen species, with two new genera. The largest is Phoeni- 

 cobiella schicarzii (Phoenicobius schwarzii), found by Townsend, at 

 Brownsville, infesting Sabal mexicana. 



Mr. E. T. Cresson, Jr., has a very interesting account of the Orta- 

 lidae, collected by Messrs. Viereck and Rehn, during their expedition 

 to New Mexico in 1902, including also some Mexican material ob- 

 tained by Mr. J. F. McClendon, in 1903. There is a new genus 

 (Hiatus), and new species of Antomola, Pterocalla, Acrosticta and 

 Euxesta. The paper is accompanied by a plate. 



Professor Kellogg lists the bird-lice collected by Mr. Rollo Beck 

 at the Galapagos and Revillagigedo Islands, and neighboring waters, 

 in 1 901. The list is a long one, and two new species are described —
