56 Bulletin of the Brooklyn Entomological Society Vol. IX 



I would mention among the members of this Society John B. 

 Smith, Rev. Geo. D. Hulst, Dr. H. G. Dyar, Wm. Beutenmuller, 

 Berthold Neumogen, F. H. Chittenden, Wm. Koebele, not to for- 

 get those who are doing good work still, such as Chris. H. Roberts, 

 R. F. Pearsall, Jacob Doll, Chas. Schaeffer, Geo. P. Engelhardt. 

 All of them were greatly influenced, if not actually created as 

 entomologists, through the work of the Brooklyn Entomological 

 Society and you will pardon my proud assumption when I state 

 that the entomologists of Brooklyn, through the Brooklyn Ento- 

 mological Society have done more good work than any other body 

 of men in any city or in the world. 



In addition to Mr. Grote's synonyms, the following species have been 

 dedicated to Mr. Graef : Melicleptria graefiana Tepper, Annemoria graefi- 

 aria Hulst, Caripeta graefiaria Hulst, Acanthophora graefia Hulst, Ency- 

 matoge graefi Hulst, Sanninoidea graefi Hy. Edwards, Tortricidea graefi 

 Packard, and the genus Graefia Pearsall. Regarding the species Graefia 

 smithi Pearsall, Dr. John B. Smith wrote that " if anything will kill this 

 genus it is the combination of names." — Ed. 



NOTES ON ILLINOIS PHORID.E (DIPTERA) WITH DE- 

 SCRIPTIONS OF THREE NEW SPECIES. 



By J. R. Malloch, Urbana, 111. 



The following notes and descriptions were made from mate- 

 rial contained in the Illinois State Laboratory of Natural History. 

 The types of the new species are deposited in that collection.

Trupheoneura varipes Malloch. This species, which was 

 originally described from a single male from the collection of 

 C. W. Johnson, taken at Lawrence, Kansas, is represented in the 

 State Laboratory collection here by 5 males, taken by sweeping, 

 April 4, 1908, and 2 on April 16, 1909, at Urbana, 111. 



be attained to clear up the matter of the first few numbers, now almost 

 priceless. I have the testimony that they were set in type by Schaupp 

 and confreres and taken in locked chases to the printer. It is certain that 

 the typography was different for three numbers. The most reliable evi- 

 dence is that an East New York printer took the job, but lacked the type. 

 Schaupp and friends bought a font and actually set (over many beers) the 

 copy. There were giants in those days. — Ed.
