A NEW PEZOMACHUS FROM ITALY
Authors: Ashmead William. H.
Published: February 2010

In a recent sending of parasitic Hymenoptera, bred by Dr. Filippo Silvestri, at the Laboratorio di Entomologia Agraria, Portici, Italy, sent me for names, I find a new Pezomachus, represented by both sexes.

Pezomachus Silverstrii, new species.— ♀. Length, 2.6 mm.; ovipositor a little longer than the petiole of the abdomen. Black and shining, impunctate except a feeble shagreening on the pleura; the metathorax is rounded off posteriorly, and without a trace of a transverse carina; antennæ 21-jointed, the fourth joint a little shorter than the third the flagellum brown-black, the extreme apex of the pedicel, or second joint of antennæ, yellowish; legs black, with the sutures of the trochanters, the apical third of front femora, front tibiæ narrowly at base and more or less beneath, and base of first joint of tarsi, testaceous, the rest of tarsi fuscous or brownish, but a little yellowish at sutures of the joints; hind tibial spurs white.
PRELIMINARY LIST OF THE MACRO-LEPIDOPTERA OF ALBERTA, N.-W. T
Authors: Dod F. H. Wolley
Published: February 2010

267. Euxoa nesilens, Smith(Jour. N.Y. Ent. Soc. XI., 192, Dec., 1903). —Described from Calgary and from Brandon, Man. The type is a Calgary specimen in Prof. Smith's collection, and a ♀ co-type is in my own. The description says: “In general appearance it resembles siles, but does not have the black basal streak, nor the blackish suffusion between the ordinary spots. On the other hand, it does have more complete, better marked median lines … Its distinctness is clear, and its association is with basalis, from which, however, it differs obviously in colour.”
PRACTICAL AND POPULAR ENTOMOLOGY.—No. 5.: Canadian Three-Colour Process Illustrations
Authors: Fletcher James
Published: February 2010

We are indebted to the Toronto Engraving Company, Limited, for the beautiful plate given in this month's issue. The invention of the trichromatic photographic process of illustration is undoubtedly one of the most important stimuli to scientific work of recent years. Especially is this the case in the study of insects, where it is frequently necessary to depict accurately very slight differences, both in form and colour, which could be described only with difficulty, or at greath length.
NEW SPECIES OF COLEOPTERA FROM THE WESTERN UNITED STATES.: Second Paper

A number of interesting undescribed species of Coleoptera have accumulated in my cabinet, principally as the result of my own trips to the western parts of the country. The description of several of these follow, care having been taken to avoid describing forms belonging to genera of great extent which have not been recently monographed:
THE THREE RANATRAS OF THE NORTH-EASTERN UNITED STATES

Several entomologists have discussed with me the question of the distinguishing characters of Ranatra quadridentata, Stal, and Ranatra fusca, Pal.

Every year, in the United States and Canada, Thoudands of dollars worth of stored grain is ruined by granary insects, chiefly of three species. These are all well known, and much has been written concerning their habits and the methods by which they can be destroyed. Besides the three very injurious species, the Granary Weevil, the Rice Weevil and the Angoumois Grain Moth, which are responsible for the most of the damage done, there are a great many other kinds of insects which do serious harm to stored grain and various other edible products.
THE GENUS VENUSIA AND ITS INCLUDED SPECIES
Authors: Taylor George. W.
Published: February 2010

Probably everyone will agree with Dr. Pearsall's remarks in the April number of this journal as to the necessity for a revision of the North American Geometridæ. The whole group is in a sad state of disorder; the old species are not all well understood and many of the newer ones (Dr. Hulst's and Dr. Strecker's), being unfigured and insufficiently described, are very difficult to identify. It will be some time yet, I fear before anyone will be in a position to attempt a completed monograph, and probably it will be better to take up the work genus by genus, as Dr.Pearsall is doing.
NEW SPECIES OF NOCTUIDÆ FOR 1905.—No. 2
Authors: Smith John. B.

Mamestra ascula, n. sp.— Ground colour very pale ashen gray, with a somewhat luteous tinge more or less obvious in most specimens; best marked in the male, most frequently wanting in the female. The ordinary lines are all broken and obscured by the shading, yet all distinctly traceable, geminate, one part of the line blackish, the other smoky and always partly incomplete. Basal line usually marked by a geminate spot on costa. There is a short black basal streak, best marked and a little curved in the female, and above it the basal space tends to be a litter paler.
NOTE ON COLLECTING HIBERNATING SPECIMENS

Published: February 2010

Acting on the information given me by a woodchopper who had seen hundreds of green flies under the bark of a tree he had felled a few days previously, I made a further investigation, and upon reaching the locality found several dead Lace wing flies crushed under the bark of a Tamarack tree he had been sawing up. Furthur search undert the bark of a tall dead Tamarack (Larix occidentalis) which had just been felled, resulted in a rather unique cathch on removing the bark, which peeled off easily from the butt end, hundreds of lively specimens of the minute Tineid, Lyonetia speculella, Clem., were found.
NEW GORTYNAS
Authors: Lyman Henry. H.
Published: February 2010

The forms treated of in this paper would naturally fall in the group for which Dr. J.B. Smith proposed the name Papaipema, and which Dr.Dyar in his catalogue accepted as a generic name, but as it was not so intended by the proposer, I do not know that it is necessary to accept it as such.

In 1902, while paying a brief visit to the White Mountains, from 6th to 10th August, I noticed that the plants of the Tall Meadow Rue(Thalictrum Cornuti, L). growing by the side of the road which runs from Fabyan's to the base of Mt. Washington, gave evidenc of having been attacked by some borer.

Having prepared a case of insects for a Toronto Public School teacher, for her class-room, I thought it might be a stimulus to others to do likewise, if the details were given some publicity.

All of us wiht medium-sized or large collections have duplicates enough from which to select material for such a case without impoverishing our collections, and now that so many public schools have departments of manual training there should be no difficulty in getting the teachers in these departments to co-operate by supplying the necessary cases.

Over a year ago the writer received from Prof.T. D. A. Cockerell, for naming, a pair of Tipulids with aborted wings, taken on the summit of the Las Vegas Mts., in New Mexico, I suspected that they belonged to some normally long-winged form but repeated comparisons have failed to convince me that they belong to any of those represented in National Museum. They closely resemble Limnophila costata, Coq., which also inhabits high altitudes in the same region, but the joints of the antenn♀ are much shorter and broader, besides other differences.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE APIDÆ UPON THE GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF CERTAIN FLORAL TYPES
Authors: Harris J. Arthur
Published: February 2010

The reciprocal relations of flowers and insects form a subject which has attracted many workers since Darwin and others showed the importance of this phase of biology. In the whole field of adaptation we have no better materials than those afforded by the morphology of flowers and insects considered in their relation to each other. The field has been most exploited by botanists, but some entomologists have also made valuable contributions to the literature of this subject, and their assistance has always been necessary for the identification of visitors observed.

Among the mosquitoes lately sent from the various Army Stations are the following, of interest mostly because of their apparent close relation to already known forms:

Uranotœnia cœruleocephala, Theob., var. lateralis, n. var.— ♀. Head covered with flat blue scales, becoming white around the eyes, a couple of brown bristles between, and a few around, the eyes, no fork scales; the scales on the occiput change from a dark indigo or violet to a light blue, according to the direction of the light, and when viewed from the side may even seem brown with a wide white border around the eyes, but in other positions are some shade of blue; antenn♀ brown, verticels and pubescence brown, basal joint light testaceous, with a few thin flat scales; palpi also light brown, very short, hardly longer than the depth of the clypeus, the last joint reduced to a knob; proboscis dark brown, swollen at the tip; clypeus testaceous; eyes brown and silver.

I am very much indebted to Mr. T.N. Willing, a Regina, Assa., for the privilege of working up a very interesting collection of Micro-Lepidoptera. It is particularly notable in recording a number of species that have hitherto been only known by the types, and especially so in establishing a wide range of territory to species that have been only recorded from California.

219. N. havilœm Grt. — I confused this with the foregoing species until quite recently, so cannot state positively whether it is common or not. From memory I should say at least not rare. I picked four out of my series of twenty-five clandestina and sent two to Prof. Smith as possibly havilœ, but questioned their distinctness. He called them havilœ, and added, “The differences seem obvious enough in my Collection. It has the ground colour of primaries lighte, has a peculiar strigate appearance, and lacks all the red-brown that occurs in clandestina.”

In a recent number of this journal* Mr. Quayle gives some notes on the habits of the Californian Culex squamiger, Coq., and compares these briefly with those of a species occuring in Nw Jersey which we have been calling squamiger (following a determination by Mr. Coquillett), and suggests the possibility of there being two forms. The identification of our species with the Californian one has been doubted by Prof. Smith and myself since we learned of the salt-water habit of the latter; but not until Mr. Quayle pointed out the difference in the length of tracheal gills of the larva was a close comparison of the species made.

Butterflies and beetles are usually the first to attract attention and to become the most conspicuous features in the incipient collection. Not many of the former are yet on the wing, but an almost endless variety of beetles may be found by careful search, aided by sharp eyes and nimble fingers. It is the object of this paper to draw attention to some of the more conspicuous species.

A Geometrid moth sent to me for determination by Dr. Fletcher some time ago, appears to belong to the well-known European species, Himera pennaria, Linn. This species has not previously been recorded as occurring on this continent, and there is always the suspicion of a mistake when a species belonging to the Old World fauna is reported in America for the first time; but this species is distinctly labelled as captured by Mr. L. Fanshawe at Tamarisk, Manitoba, and I see no reason to doubt the genuineness of the record.

Published: February 2010

A curious little error has crept into the description of this mosquito, and has been carried into so many authors that it seems as if the easiest way would be for the insect to rearrange its markings.

Wiedmann, in his description (Ansse Europ. Zweifleg, Ins., p. 12, 1828) says: “Taster bräunlich schwarz, glieder an der Wurzel wenig shneeweiss,” but this is, of course, a broad generalization, and thwords are used loosely.

A patient, an elderly lady of one of the best families, was suffering from a malignant tumor—a melanotic sarcoma—located in the small of the back. The tumor was about the size of a large walnut. On examination the doctor was surprised to find, close to the stalk and between the tumor and the body, some ten or tweleve “worms” which were feeding upon the diseased tissues.

The following list of Orthoptera chiefly comprises the species taken by the writer during a month's trip to the Canadian Pacific Coast in 1897. But few stops were made, most of the specimens being taken at the various stations along the line of the Canandian Pacific Railway. As a rule, but a few minutes to half an hour were spent at each stopping place, but in Manitoba and British Columbia longer periods were spent, and better opportunities were to be had for collecting.

Some years ago I attempted to make tables to separate the species of Eulecanium. The attempt was not wholly successful; partly on account of the difficulty of the subject, and partly because there are no doubt more names than species in this genus, and the first step should probably be to reduce a number to the synonmy.

Interest in Health Information Exchange in Ambulatory Care: A Statewide Survey
Authors: Ross S. E. , Mellis B. K. , Beaty B. L. , Schilling L. M. , Davidson A. J. , Tham E.
Published: February 2010

Objective: Assess the interest in and preferences of ambulatory practitioners in HIE.

Background: Health information exchange (HIE) may improve the quality and efficiency of care. Identifying the value proposition for smaller ambulatory practices may help those practices engage in HIE.

Methods: Survey of primary care and specialist practitioners in the State of Colorado.

Results: Clinical data were commonly (always [2%], often [29%] or sometimes [49%]) missing during clinic visits. Of 12 data types proposed as available through HIE, ten were considered “extremely useful” by most practitioners. “Clinical notes/consultation reports,” “diagnosis or problem lists,” and “hospital discharge summaries” were considered the three most useful data types. Interest in EKG reports, diagnosis/problem lists, childhood immunizations, and discharge summaries differed among ambulatory practitioner groups (primary care, obstetrics-gynecology, and internal medicine subspecialties).

Conclusion: Practitioners express strong interest in most of the data types, but opinions differed by specialties on what types were most important. All providers felt that a system that provided all data types would be useful. These results support the potential benefit of HIE in ambulatory practices.
Solution properties of hyaluronic acid and comparison of SEC‐MALS‐VIS data with off‐line capillary viscometry
Authors: Podzimek Stepan , Hermannova Martina , Bilerova Helena , Bezakova Zuzana , Velebny Vladimir
Published: February 2010

Extensive study of solution properties of sodium hyaluronate including about 140 samples and covering broad molar mass range was carried out by classical viscometry using an Ubbelohde capillary viscometer and by combination of size‐exclusion chromatography with a multi‐angle light scattering detector and an on‐line viscometer. The study also involved critical overview of literature data of Mark‐Houwink relation for sodium hyaluronate. Continuous decrease of the Mark‐Houwink exponent with increasing molar mass to the values markedly lower than those typical of linear random coils in thermodynamically good solvents was observed. This fact was attributed to branched molecular structure of hyaluronic acid as a result of unknown side reactions during the manufacturing process. The molar mass dependence of the second virial coefficient was determined and proved aqueous salt solutions to be thermodynamically good solvents for sodium hyaluronate. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Vanadium Phosphate Oxide Seeds and Their Influence on the Formation of Vanadium Phosphate Catalyst Precursors

Vanadium phosphate materials, based on a VOHPO4⋅0.5 H2O precursor and with (VO)2P2O7 as an active high‐temperature phase, are used as catalysts for the oxidation of alkanes. VOHPO4⋅0.5 H2O is prepared from VOPO4⋅2 H2O using 1‐octanol, 3‐octanol, 2‐butanol, or 2‐methyl‐1‐propanol as both solvent and reducing agent. With 1‐octanol, the reaction temperature was found to be crucial in obtaining a high yield of the precursor phase. At temperatures of 160 °C or greater, a solution containing V4+ ions formed in preference to VOHPO4⋅0.5 H2O. However, VOHPO4⋅0.5 H2O formation can be achieved above 160 °C by carrying out the reduction process in the presence of a small amount of vanadium phosphate material, which effectively acts as a templating seed. The use of this seeding concept is shown to have a dramatic effect on the morphology of the final activated catalyst. In contrast, when 3‐octanol is used, solely VO(H2PO4)2 is generated, except in the presence of a vanadium phosphate seed where significant amounts of VOHPO4⋅0.5 H2O can also be formed. Furthermore, VO(H2PO4)2 can be transformed to VOHPO4⋅0.5 H2O by heating at reflux with an alcohol in the presence of VOHPO4⋅0.5 H2O precursor seeds. The findings reported herein show that both the phase composition and morphology of vanadium phosphates can be influenced by the use of seeds during the preparation process.
