This species resembles Psila lateralis Loew in general appearance, but the longer antennz readily separate it from that species, while from P. collaris Loew, it is at once distinguished by the highly polished black markings and the absence of black on the sides of the dorsum.
Pseudopsila angustata (Cresson).
Pda angu&ata Cresson, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci., Phila., 1919, p. 193. An interesting species resembling in color Psila laterali3 Loew, but much larger. The pre-dorsal-centrals are not present in the two specimens before me, heither are they present in the two follow- ing species. In addition to the type locality, Ithaca, N. Y., it has been taken by Mr. A. P. Morse at Woodstock, Vt. Pseudopsila bivitatta (Loew).
Psila bivittata Loew, Cent., VIII, 67, 1869. The form of the antenn~ places this also in this group. It is
common and quite widely distributed from Quebec (Osten Sacken) and Maine to Philadelphia, Pa., and probably much farther South. Type from Connecticut.
Pseudopsila collaris (Loew),
Psila collaris Loew, Cent., VIII, 68, 1869. This may prove to be only a variety of the preceding. Distribu-
tion, White Mountains, N. H. to Virginia. Type also from Connecticut.

Psyche [February
Executive Committeey S. W. Dentony Wellesley; L. W. Swett, Lexington; P. G. Bolstery Boston.
Editor of Psyche9 C. T. Bruesy Boston.
Mr. S. W. Denton presided and thirty-two members and guests were present.
Prof. Robert Matheson, of Cornell University College of Agri- culture9 spoke on the three species of plant lice of apple treesy Aphis pomiy Aphis sorbi and Aphis avenEy th4r habitsy and methods of controlling them.
Mr. S. W. Denton gave an interesting account of his experiences in buying and selling butterflies in America and England. Mr. A. F. Burgessy secretary of the Association of Economic Entomologistsy spoke of the meetings of that society and of the Entomological Society of America at St. Louis. ENTOMOLOGICAL NOTES FROM THE MUSEUM OF
COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY.
Several families of Neuroptera have recently been rearranged in new drawers. The largest of thesey the Myrmele~nidze~ occupies 54 drawers and includes 2å¦39 specimens representing 309 named speciesy among which are 125 types.
Several lots of small neuropteroid insects have been obtained from Mr. Parishy collected on his Amazon trip. In mounting a collection of insects from Anticosti Island a speci- men of Ornithomyia was found to which were attached two speci- mens of Mallophaga9 one on each side near the tip of the abdomen of the fly. This is doubtless one method of distribution of the parasites.
Mr.. Dawson of the University of Nebraska spent the Christmas holidays at the museum studying Serica; Mr. Strickland of the Canadian Entomological Branch at Ottawa spent several weeks studying the collections of Acarina and Psocidzey and Mr. Leonard of the Cornell University Agricultural College was at the museum in January to study the types of Leptidze. . .
