90 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Feb., 14 
Meeting of October 15th, 1913, at 1523 South Thirteenth 
Street, Philadelphia. Fifteen members present, President 
Haimbach in the chair. 
Mr. Wenzel exhibited three boxes of Cerambycidae (Mom- 
lema Goes, etc.) from which only four known species were 
missing. 
Mr. George M. Greene recorded a species of Diptera which 
is not in the New Jersey list: Syrphus fishert Walton, from 
Riverton VII-9-10, collected by C. T. Greene. He also stated 
that he had acquired the Godfrey collection of North Ameri- 
can Coleoptera (approximating ten thousand specimens) by 
gift. 
Mr. Daecke said that on July 19th, 1912, Mr. H. L. Adams 
had pulled off a piece of hemlock bark (“about the size of your 
hand’’) at West Lenox, Pennsylvania, beneath which he found 
a specimen of Scaphinotus viduus Dej., two of Leptura cana- 
densis Fabr. and two [phthimus opacus LeC. (Col.). 
Mr. Laurent exhibited specimens of Chrysophanus thoe Bd.- 
LeC. (Lep.) male and female, that he captured July 29, 1913, 
on the meadows in Philadelphia Neck, and stated that to the 
best of his knowledge, this butterfly had never been captured 
before in the vicinity of Philadelphia. 
Mr. Wenzel said that they have been filling up the low 
ground, where Mr. Laurent had caught this species, with soil 
from along the river and other places and that no doubt 
many seeds had been transplanted in this manner, and he knew 
of many plants growing there now which were unknown a few 
years ago. He reported Lema trilineata Oliv. (Col.) as com- 
mon in that locality both this year and last on the “jimson 
weed.” 
Mr. Hoyer exhibited a box of Coleoptera collected by boys 
on a camping trip on Valcour Island, New York, this year. 
Stated that this island is about a mile from shore in Lake 
Champlain, opposite the town of Valcour, Clinton County. 
This contained many interesting and rare species. 
Mr. Harbeck recorded a species of Ophyra (Dip.) collected
