membranous areas; commissural margin of the clavus, apical margin of 
corium median vein apically and apical spot strongly piceous. Femore 
frequently castaneous. 
This variety, judging from my material, inhabits the costal 
strip of Florida and there always brachypterous as stated by 
Schwarz, Proc. Ent. Soc. Washington, Vol. I, 1888, p. 105, that 
he never, among thousands of specimens, saw a single macrop- 
terous specimen. This variety also occurs in Porto Rico and 
doubtless other West Indian Islands, strange to say, in both the 
macropterous and brachpyterous forms. 
Described from 3 Q’s and 1 9, Punta Gorda, Fla., Nov. 16, 
IQII, and numerous examples from San Juan, Porto Rico, Aug. 
2, 1914, which I collected by pulling up a wild grass growing 
closely appressed to the ground (A. M. N. H.). Type: a male 
from Fla. in the A.\M. N. H.

SOCIETY. 
Meeting of January 17, 1917—Long Island records: Corymbites triun- 
dulatus, recorded from Rockaway by Mr. Ballou. 
Under the head of “A New Collecting Ground for Insects on Long 
Island” Mr. W. T. Davis recorded from Selden and vicinity, a queen of 
Polyerges rufescens lucidus Mayer; Dolichoderus marie Forel, an in- 
habitant of sandy areas; and Atta septentrionalis McCook, the fungus- 
growing ant, previously reported from Smithtown and Wading River 
(see Butt. BRooktyn Env. Soc., X, 81, October, 1915); Cicindela rugi- 
frons Dej., the usual green form, a blue example and two dark Olive Ge 
purpurea, C. tranquebaricm, C. punctulata, and C. generosa. Strategus 
anteus Fab. the ox-beetle, was found in some numbers on Atgust 30 
and 31, most of them dead, on their backs with legs outspread; this 
species being previously reported from Wading River and Riverhead, L. I. 
Aphilanthops frigidus was seen carrying a winged female ant, Formica 
fusca var. subsericea, Say; at night, by lantern light, the beetle Carabus 
limbatus was seen running on a wood path with a small oak-gall in its 
jaws. Twenty-nine species of Orthoptera were collected. An interest- 
ing botanical find was two clumps of Juniperus communis L. near Selden, 
an addition to the known flora of Long Island. Mr. G. P. Engelhardt 
in his third communication on his trip to the Pacific coast recorded the 
finding of an ant, determined by Prof. W. M. Wheeler as Camponotus 
maculatus Fabr. subsp. vicinus Mayer emitting a phosphorescent light 
ventrally. Only one specimen was taken in the night.
