Tegmina in the male covering about one fourth of the abdomen. Ovi- 

 positor viewed in profile slightly curved upward and symmetrically 

 narrowed to the tip on both the upper and lower edges. Notch 

 U-shaped in the subgenital plate of the female. Length of male and 

 female as in pachymerus, except the hind femora, which are propor- 

 tionately longer monticola, new species. 



Tegmina in the male covering less than one fourth of the abdomen. 

 Ovipositor shaped as in pachymerus. Notch narrow and deep in the 

 subgenital plate of the female. Hind margin of the pronotum more 

 rounded, especially in the males, than in either of the above men- 

 tioned species; also with the hind femora proportionately longer. 

 Length of male about 23 mm.; of female, including ovipositor, about 

 45 mm dorsalis Burm. 



The wasp Chlorion ichneumoneuni is one of the considerable 

 enemies of Atlanticus, and the writer has given an account in the 

 Journal of the N. Y. Ent. Soc. for December 191 1, of the bur- 

 rows he found on the side of Black Rock Mountain, Rabun 

 County, Ga., stored with many examples of dorsalis. The spe- 

 cies of Atlanticus are often attracted to the trees sugared for 

 moths and they may be likewise collected in traps consisting of 

 jars or old tin cans sunk in the ground and baited with molasses. 

 More females than males seem to be attracted by the above meth- 

 ods. In the Canadian Entomologist for April 1893, an account 

 is given of a captive Atlanticus pachymerus^ which we kept from 

 June 26 to September 10, and fed on berries, watermelon, etc. 

 While this and other individuals were found in tussocks of grass 

 in a swampy field, they are more often present in dryer situations. 

 They have been collected while singing on low bushes a foot or 

 two from the ground.

SOCIETY. 



The regular meeting of the Brooklyn Entomological Society was held

 Present twelve months and two visitors. 



Mr. Weeks reported more Cychrus elevatus this spring found hidden in
