characters although perhaps only superficially similar. The median thoracic suture so pronounced in Dinapsis and Prodi- napsis occurs elsewhere, so far as I am aware, only in certain Ceraphronidse, Scelionidse and Belytidse of the Serphoid series where it may or may not be associated with the paired parap- sidal furrows, although a few Bethylidse and the Ampulicidse have a median pronotal (not mesonotal) furrow. In Megalyra it is prominent and undoubtedly homologous to the one in Dinapsis.
In these lists are included titles relating entirely or directly to insects, as well as books in the related fields of biology which are of immediate interest to the Entomologist. Folsom. J. W.

March 14, 1922, Mr. C. W. Johnson showed a collection of New England Hippoboscidae and gave an account of their habits, classification and distribution. See vol. 39, Nos. 4-6. Mr. W. J. Clench showed the milkweed beetles Tetraopes tetraophthalmus and canteriator and a supposed hybrid between them.
Prof. W. M. Wheeler told about a mass of saw-fly larvae, which he had observed in South America, moving slowly through the wet grass like a single animal.
Mr. C. W. Johnson called
attention to a similar habit in the dipterous genus Sciara in which the larvae cluster together in a long narrow mass which moves along like a worm.
See vol. 29, Nos. 4-6.
April 11, 1922. Mr. F. Waldo Dodge showed a collection of over a hundred species of the coleopterous family Tenebrionidse. He also gave an account of the common species of Coccinella, illustrated by drawings.
