While making peach twig collections for parasite recoveries during the first part of June, a few Chrysopid adults were observed throughout the orchards. No particular attention was paid to this insect until late in July, when adults could be found on almost every tree throughout the orchards of the Niagara district. Several specimens were sent to Ottawa for determination and it was found that two species were represented, viz., Chrysopa oculata Say. and Chrysopa albicornis Fitch., the former being by far the more numerous. Eggs began to appear the latter part of July and could be located in numbers varying from one to four on almost every tree.

This bark-beetle is locally distributed over the forested areas of Quebec and Ontario, extending westward into Manitoba; in the United States, it has been recorded from Wisconsin and Michigan.

The insect has been found breeding in fallen white pine and jack pine, and, within recent years, has also been recorded from red pine.

The genus Erythroneura was divided by W. L.. McAtee and later confirmed by Wm. Robinson, into several groups by the venation of the front wing. The maculata group was characterized particularly by the absence of the M-Cu cross-vein and by the base of cell M4 being angulate. In dissecting and studying the male genitalia of several hundred specimens of this group a good many undescribed forms have been found. It is the purpose of the present paper to begin a study of the entire group, redescribing named species wliere necessary and adding the new forms. Drawings and photographs have been made but will be published later.

The first list under this general title (Can. Ent. 61 : 231-236, 247-251: 1929) recorded from the Province of Quebec I species of Tanyderidae, 2 species each of Ptychopteridae and Trichoceridae, and 139 species of Tipulidae. Collections made in 1929 have added to this list 69 species of Tipulidae that are recorded at this time, such species being preceded by an asterisk (*). To this total of 208 speciest at least 100 species must be added before the record for Quebec can be considered as being approximately complete.

For several years, I have had the pleasure of attending the annual meetings of the New Jersey Mosquito Extermination Association. These meetings are held at Atlantic City, usually about the middle of February. This year the 18th annual meeting was held on February 18, 19 and 20. One would think from the name of the organization that problems discussed at these annual meetings are concerned with mosquito control within the state of New Jersey.
