METZNERIA LAPPELLA, L.—A CURIOUS LIFE-HISTORY
Authors: Fyles Thomas W. 
Published: February 2010

In the beginning of September, 1898, I discovered, in the heads of burdock (Lappa major, Gætn.), a curious larva, of which the following is a description:Head bilobed, brown. Mouth organs large. A brown plate, marked longitudinally with a white line, on the second segment. Body rounded, much crinkled, of a fatty appearance, having a few white hairs along the sides. Anal segment small and protruding. The legs small and weak. The pro-legs seemingly atrophied into mere pseudopodia. Length of larva, two and a half lines.
THE “ENTOMOLOGICAL MUDDLE”—A REJOINDER
Authors: Fyles Thomas W. 
Published: February 2010

I thought I had “said my say” on the Cunea-Congrua question, but Mr. Lyman's attack upon me demands a reply.Mr. Lyman has made a military allusion in rather questionable taste. I would remind him that the reason the Boers have stuck to their guns is that, until now (May, 1900), their opponents have not been able to capture their guns, but have, on the other hand, furnished the Boers with new artillery and fresh stores of ammunition.
ADDITIONS TO THE LIST OF MANITOBA BUTTERFLIES, WITH NOTES ON OTHER SPECIES

Published: February 2010

Euptoieta claudia, Cram.—This species had never even been observed in previous years, but this season appeared plentifully at Bird's Hill in June, and again in August (16th) and September (4th); it was also met with at St. James, just outside the city limits. The species is usually common in prairie districts farther west.Melitœa Harrisii, Scud.—Taken at Bird's Hill on July 1st, 1899. This season I came across a larva in the act of pupating, but missed the butterflies.
NYMPHS OF NORTHERN ODONATA, STILL UNKNOWN
Authors: Needham James G. 
Published: February 2010

This is a word in season to collectors of aquatic insects, who may be afield during the months of spring and early summer.Among the nymphs of Odonater occurring in the North-eastern States and Canada, there remain a number of good discoveries to be made. In any locality where these nymphs are common their discovery will not be a difficult matter.

Published: February 2010

The following species of Acridiidæ were recently purchased by the writer from the collector, Dr. R. E. Kunze, of Phœnix, Arizona. There are thirty-two specimens, representing eleven species, one of which is apparently undescribed, representing a new genus. Several of the species are, for various reasons, quite interesting and all are herein listed. They are as follows:1.—Hippiscus leprosus, Sauss.Xanthippus leprosus, Sauss. Prodr. Oedip., 92 (1884).Hippiscus leprosus, Scudd. Psyche, VI., 334 (1892).One female; Pinal Mts., Gila Co.; July 24, 1900.This species was determined by Mr. J. A. G. Rehn, of Philadelphia.

BEES FROM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, VISITING FLOWERS OF ERIOGONUM AND RHUS
Authors: Cockerell T. D. A. 
Published: February 2010

Southern California has its dry season in the summer, and comparatively few flowers are to be seen. Among those that remain, and are attractive to insects, the bushy species of Eriogonum are especially noteworthy, and I was fortunate in obtaining from them several bees.Eriogonum fasciulatum was determined for me by Mrs. K. Brandegee. The Mt. Lowe species, which look very distinct from fasciculatum, is kindly identified by Miss Susan G. Stokes as E. fasciculatum polifolium, “one of the intermediate forms.” This is the E. polifolium of Bentham.

LABELS
Authors: Lutz Frank E. 
Published: February 2010

Anyone who has had even the slightest experience in attempting to get intelligent notes to accompany his acquistions by exchange has doubtless been sorely vexed–to put it no more strongly. Anyone who has tried to keep a careful record of the conditions under which his own collections were made has also doubtless felt the need of some better scheme than the regulation notebook. It is for these reasons that I suggest an idea whic I find very useful.In the first place, I write (or print with a hand stamp) my own locality labels so that I can fix the places definitely. The ordinary entomologist, unless he has a large collection from precisely the same limited locality, can scarcely afford to have special labels printed, and general ones are useless when the collection is to be used for more than a purely æsthetic exhibition.
MORE CONCERNING LABELS
Authors: Laurent Philip 
Published: February 2010

It was with interest that I read the article by Mr. Frank E. Lutz in the April number of the Canadian Entomologist entitled “Labels.”It is not so very many years ago (perhaps thity) that we were satisfied if specimens sent to us only bore a State label, the State label as first used being nothing more or less than a coloured disk, a different colour for each State. A few years more, and we have the abbreviated State labels – N.J. for New Jersey, Can. for Canada, etc. Not long after, we asked our friends to mark the label in such a mnner that we might know from what part of the State the insect came. Then it was that the collector with pen and ink would mark the label in one of the corners, or perhaps make a mark in the centre, thus designating as to what part of the State the insect had come from. This was not a bad plan, and to-day may such labeled specimens can be seen in the “Horn Collection.” as well as other collections in New York and Philadelphia.
CLASSIFICATION OF THE FOSSORIAL, PREDACEOUS AND PARASITIC WASPS, OR THE SUPERFAMILY VESPOIDEA
Authors: Ashmead William. H. 
Published: February 2010

This subfamily comes nearest to the Aporinæ, and a few of the males are easily confused with and mistaken for some males in the latter group.The head is, however, lenticular, very thin antero-posteriorly, the temples being very flat, while the antennæ are always placed much closer to the mouth, on or below an imaginary line drawn from the base of the eyes. These characters ought to enable the student to recognize readily a wasp falling in this group.Some males in the subfamlry Aporinæ have a lenticurar head, but in these the antennæ are inserted above this inraginary line, never on orbelow it.

NEW GENERA AND SPECIES OF ACARIANS
Authors: Banks Nathan 
Published: February 2010

In the following pages I have included descriptions of a few new genera and species of mites that have been in my possession for some time. Several of the genera are for the first time recorded in America. A note is added on two species of Trichotorsus. Of the two new genera, the Liroaspis is a very remarkable form, and funds its nearest allies in certain tropical species.Trombidum granulatum, n. sp.– Bright blood red, the legs are clothed with scale-like hairs, those on the basal joints are white, elsewhere they are red, except on the apical joint of leg I., which is mostly white; the palpi and mouth-parts are mostly white, but reddish toward the trip. The body is covered above with rounded elevated granules, subequal in size and height; on the under side they are more scarce and there are some short red hairs. The body is hardly twice as long as broad, broadest at humeri, slightly constricted over base of the third legs, and broadly rounded behind; the dorsal outline at juncture of head and abdomen shows very little depression; on the cephalic part there is a median grove, and each side are two sessile eyes.

SYNOPSIS OF HALICTINÆ
Authors: Robertson Charles. 
Published: February 2010

In connection with the study of the pollination of flowers by insects, for several years and in several journals I have published notes on the local Halictinæ, with descriptions of new species and the missing sexes of some which were only known in one sex. This paper is intended to bring my results together in a brief form.The so-called genus Halictus of authors seems to be altogether too heterogenous. I restore Lasioglossum and propose two other new genera. I think that the several genera must stand or fall together. The venation shows that Agapostemon and Augochlora are more closely related to Halictus, as here limited, than are Lasioglossum, Evylaeus and Chloralictus.
HYDRŒCIA NELITA, STRECKER
Authors: Lyman Henry. H. 
Published: February 2010

In Supplement No. 1 to his work “Lepidoptera, Rhopaloceres and Heteroceres, Indigenons and Exotic,” dated Sept. 15th, 1898, Dr.Herman Strecker described a species under the above name as follows:“At first glance might be taken for a small Nitela, but it is a darkr, warmer colour, more towards a rich chestnut. The t.p. is not so conspicuous, and is much more upright, and its course is rather from the costa outwardly oblique than inwardly oblique. One example has the space from the base to t.p. chestnut brown, exteriorly the t.p. is accompanied by a broad, paler ashen shade, beyond which the brown again prevails. In another the whole wing is brown, the t.p. only being discernible on the closest inspection. Beyond what I have mentioned, the differences between this and Nitela, excepting size, are not very marked. Expands one inch. Types, two examples from Chicago, Illinois.”

About the first of October, Prof. T.D.A. Cockerell sent me for names several parasites bred by him from a Coccid, Phenacoccus cavalliæ Ckll., collected at Rosewel, New Mexico. In the lot where four distinct species of Chalcids, two being new, but one of these in hyperparasite, as follows: (1) Blepyrus phenacocci, sp. nov.; (2) Cheiloneururs dactylopii, How.; (3) Signiphora dactylopii, Ashm.; and (4) Tetrastichus blepyri, sp. nov. The new species are described below:Blepyrus phenacocci, sp. n.– ♀. Length, 1.3 to 1.4 mm. Stature and general appearance similar to B. mexicanus How. Aeneous black, the thimble-like punctuation of the head more or less metallic greenish; antennæ, except the pedicel and the club, all tarsi, and the extreme tips of middle and hind tibiæ, honey-yellow; the pedicel is obconical, about thrice as long as thick at apex, brown-black; the funicle is 6-jointed, the joints transverse, gradually widening to the club, the latter being large, stout and black.

THE LARVA AND PUPA OF THE APPLE BUD-BORER (Steganoptycha pyricolana, Murt.)
Authors: Sanderson E. Dwight. 
Published: February 2010

In studying the larva and pupa of Steganoptycha pyricolana, Murt., some observations were made as to structure, which it seems desirable to permanently record. The life-history and habits of the species have been described in the Twelfth Report of the Delaware Agricultural Experiment Station.“This species was described by Miss M, E. Murtfeldt, in Bulletin No. 23, o. s., Div. Ent., U. S. Dept. Ag.., p. 52, as S. pyricolana, Riley MS. Concerning the identity, it was stated that ‘Professor Fernald, to whom a specimen was shown, considers it identical with Clemens's S. salicicolana, which, I believe, breeds in willow galls, but Dr. Riley pronounces it distinct, and he has types of Clemens's species.’ My specimens agree entirely with Miss Murtfeldt's description, but are distinctly different from Clemens's types in the collection of the Am. Ent. Society. Correspondence shows that the opinion credited above to Dr. Fernald is incorrect, as he never compared the specimens.

THE AUTHORSHIP OF PSEUDANARTA
Authors: Grote A. Radcliffe. 
Published: February 2010

The history of the generic term Pseudanarta is as follows:1878. Grote, Bull. U.S. Geol. Surv. 178: crocea (flava) sole species, and therefore type.1882. Grote, New Check List, New York, 27: flava, var. crocea, singula flavidens, aurea. The genus is credited without citation to Hy. Edwards, under the mistaken idea, derived from a previous correspondece, that this writer had used or described the genus. The name Pseudanarta was originally proposed in letters by Grote for Edwards's Anarta crocea, in which the eyes are naked, the tibiæ unarmed, and which is, in reality, as originally state by Grote, allied to Hadena, Led., nec Schrank.
CLASSIFICATION OF THE FOSSORIAL, PREDACEOUS AND PARASITIC WASPS, OR THE SUPERFAMILY VESPOIDEA
Authors: Ashmead William H. 
Published: February 2010

By most systematists this family is still classifed with the Scoliidæ, although separated as a distinct family by the Swedish entomologist, C.G. Thomson, as early as 1874. I agree with Thomson, and belive these wasps form a distinct family, easily recognized by the characters made use of in my table of families.The genus Engycistus, Fox based upon Myzine rufiventris, Cresson, was classifed by Cresson, Cameron and Fox with the Scoliidæ. Mr. Fox has kindly sent me specimens for examination, male and female, and I find them true Tiphiids; they have nothing to do with the Myzinidæ or Scoliiæ as now restricted.The genus Pterombus, Smith, still unknown to me in nature, also evidently belongs here.

The Geometrid moth described below cannot be placed in any European or American genus known to me, and I therefore venture to institute a new genus for its reception.The genus belongs to the Ennominœ, and the absence of a tongue and the possession of the dordal abdominal tufts serve to separate it readily from all the other Americal genera of the subfamily, as none of them, I believe, posses these two characters in combination.
