Cycloneda sanguinea Linn. — Scarce, only three taken. 



Hyperaspis fimbriolata Mels. — Very common, feeding mostly on 

 the younger bugs. A large number of parasites were reared 

 from the larvae of this species, at least two species of Hymenop- 



tera. 



In the Family Chrysopidse: 



Crysopa oculata Sa3^ — Common, bred from eggs to maturity 



on the bugs. A small Hymenoptera reared from this. 



In the Order Hemiptera: 



Triphleps insidiosus Say. — This was very actively feeding on 

 the young bugs, and brought to maturity on them. A spider 

 belonging to the Family Thomisidaj was probably feeding on them 

 although not actually observed. 



With the exception of this last mentioned spider all have been 

 seen to feed voraciously on the bugs in their various stages. 



Lepidoptera. — By beating oak at Central Park, April 5, Jodia 

 rufago and Copipanolis ctibilis were taken in numbers. Both are 

 considered locally extremely rare. Beating dead branches in 

 spring and late fall has yielded very good results. 



Proceedings of The Brooklyn Entomological Society. 



The regular meeting of the Brooklyn Entomological Society was held 

 December 12 at 55 Stuyvesant Avenue, with fourteen members and two 

 visitors present. 



Mr. Wm. T. Davis gave an account of a visit he and Mr. Chas. Schaeffer 

 had made to Wading River, Long Island, N. Y., during the early part 

 August, 1912. 



Facing the Sound the bluffs rise to a height of about one hundred feet 

 with an occasional bight extending inland. These little valleys were extremely 

 picturesque and were good collecting grounds. The beach was of white 

 sand and pebbles with an occasional huge drift boulder. Cicindela dor sails 

 was not seen. 



A little less than two miles south of the shore the character of the country 

 suddenly changes, becoming more level, and the pitch pine is one of the princi- 

 pal trees. Unfortunately, much of the country has been blackened by fire. 

 Deep Pond, or Deer Pond as it is called on some maps, was visited and a day 

 spent in collecting along its shores. The pond is oval in shape, has no out- 

 let and is surrounded by high banks. No definite stream flows into it. The 

 shore is sandy at the northerly and southerly ends. In the mixed woods of 

 pines and oaks that surround the pond three species of Cicadas were singing.
