ited a specimen of Dicerca obscura Fabr., Rockville, Pennsylvania, Oc- 
. tober 3, 1913; the New Jersey list records this species in July and 
August. A specimen of Dicerca lepida Lec. was shown from Hum- 
melstown, Pennsylvania, July 13, 1915, collected on ironwood by Mr. 
Knull; this is extremely rare. Mr. H. W. Wenzel exhibited a female 
Scarabaeid from Huachuca Mts., Arizona, (July) collected by H. A. 
Wenzel. This is undoubtedly a Xyloryctes and most likely a new spe- 
cies. Geo. M. Greene exhibited Eurytrachelus bucephalus Pt. from 
Java and Eutrachelus temmincki Latr. from Borneo in comparison 
with our local Dorcus parallelus Say, and Eupsalis minuta Oliv.

Hymenoptera. Mr. Kaeber exhibited a pair of wasps in copulation, 
beaten from hickory at Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, vi-28-15, which

Lepidoptera. Mr. Laurent stated that though he knew the season was 
late he was surprised to see on November 13th specimens of Coltas phi- 
ledice Gdt. flying at Mt. Airy, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 
Coleoptera.— Dr. Castle stated that the Balanini mentioned in the 
September minutes as common at Pine Beach, New Jersey, are B. uni- 
formis LeC. and they are much darker than California specimens in 
his collection; he exhibited a weevil, Chioyanthobius schwarzi Pierce, 
from Enterprise, Florida, vii-to-15. Mr. H. W. Wenzel exhibited Coc- 
cinella affinis Rand, and Lina scripta Fabr. found by H. A. Wenzel at

tures reported were Melalopha apicalts, inclusa, strigosa, albosigma and 
brucei; Datana ministra, angusti, perspicua, integerrima and contracta. 
Coleopterists had the Meloidae as a subject and extensive series 
were exhibited. Notable among them was a specimen of Pomphopoea 
sayi (not quite typical) taken by Mr. Wolcott at Beverly Hills, Illinois, 
on blossoms of Spiraea salicifolia on June 7, 1915. This is new to the 
region. Mr. Liljeblad showed a specimen of Nemognatha cribraria 
taken at Hessville, Indiana, August 13th, also new to the region—A.
