Meeting' of January 26, 1911 : Mr. Philip Laurent, Director, 

 presided : eleven persons present. 



Mr. Rehn made a few remarks on a study of the Orthoptera 

 of the Great Lake region of Central Africa in which he is now 

 engaged. By the aid of an outline map he indicated the east- 

 ern limit of the great Congo Forest, the fauna of which is 

 strongly represented in the Great Lake region. Specimens of 

 Polyspilota validissiina, a Mantid which the speaker found 

 ranged almost across the Congo State, individuals of Amor- 

 phoscelis, an aberrant ]Mantid not previously examined by the 

 speaker, and the tA^pe of the first African species of Hiini- 

 hertiella, a genus previously known only from the East Indies, 

 were exhibited. 



Mr. H. W. ^^'enzel reported the capture of Aptenodcs 

 sphenarioides in Philadelphia on January the i8th. He also 

 spoke of the good work shown in some recent papers in which 

 the species were well studied, particularly the life histories, 

 as by Prof. Hopkins, in Dendroctonus. He also spoke of the 

 value of a recent paper on Pissodes. 



Dr. Skinner spoke in appreciation of the work being done 

 by the African Entomological Research Committee and of the 

 Bulletin thev are publishing. He also exhibited specimens of 

 Argynnis saktintala, a species he had recently described, and 

 compared it with rhodope and allied forms.
