is solitary, and feeds on grape, but rests on the withered portion of the leaf, with 
which its brown color harmonizes. A specimen of the larva of this species was shown. 
The larva of Pyromorpha , previously unknown, was discovered and bred last season. 
It is brown and feeds on dead leaves on the ground. The larvm were bred on oak 
leaves, and some inflated specimens were shown. 
Mr Beutenmuller said that he has found Harrisina americana on the leaves of 
Judas tree (Cercis canadensis') in Central Park, and found Pyromorpha dimidiata at 
Parkville, Long Island, amongst grass at the border of a dense woods, and that the 
insect was very local, being confined to only a short stretch of grass. The flight is 
short and soft, thus rendering it easy to capture. 
Rev. Zabriskie showed Phengodes plumosa from Flatbush, Long Island, and 
Phellopsis obcordata from White Lake, N. Y., and also a borer, unknown to him,

in the stems of currant. 
Mr. Munch exhibited some beetles taken by him during the past season. Ad¬

Meeting of October 16, 1897. 
Held at the American Museum of Natural History. 
Vice-President Dr. Love in the chair. Twelve members present. 
Mr. Charles Nushardt was elected an active member. Mr. Beutenmuller pro¬ 
posed Mr. C. F. Hartman for active membership. 
Mr. Beutenmuller gave some notes on the genus Anthocharis. He stated that 
this name had to be dropped in preference to the name Euchloe. This last name was 
proposed by Hiibner (Verzeich. bek. Schmett., 1816) and the former by Boisduval 
(Spec. Gen., I, 1836, p. 556). He further stated that we had too many species in our 
list and that in long series of sara and the var. reakirtii which run from white to yel¬ 
low, Stella and julia could not be picked out. Thoosa Scudder is probably the same 
as reakirtii 9 and the specimens in the Neumoegen collection from which descriptions 
were made by W. H. Edwards (Can. Ent., xi, p. 87) were without doubt the same 
as reakirtii , but the type in Scudder’s collection must be examined to definitely settle 
this question. Flora , he thought - was a small reakirtii , and atisonides certainly noth¬ 
ing more than a race of the European ausonia. Strecker so places the species in 
his catalogue. By antis is suspiciously close to ansonides and may prove to be the 
summer brood. All the specimens of ansonides in the Hy. Edwards’ collection were 
taken from March to May and all the hyantis in July. Rosa is without much doubt 
a variety of olympia. A. creusa, cethura , pima , lanceolaia and genutia are good 
species. A. morrisonii was not known to him. 
It is our painful duty to herewith announce the death of Dr. George H. Horn, 
the well known and eminent coleopterist. He died at Philadelphia, Pa., November 
25, 1897, in his fifty-eighth year of age.
