AMEt•CAN RomN.--On July •2, •886, a pair were seenat an altitude of 5080feet on the Crawford Bridle Path. They may have beenstragglers frmn the valleybelow, but as it was not during the migration, and there had been no storm for several weeks, it seems more likely that they had nested in somestunted firs and spruceson a southernslope near by.

    THE DIPTEROUS GENUS SYMPHOROMYIA IN NORTH AMERICA. By John Merton Aldrich, Assistant, Cereal and Forage Insect Investigations, Bureau of Entomology. The genus Symphoromyia was established by Frauenfeld in 1867.* Only one species is mentioned, Atherix melaena Meigen, which thus becomes the undoubted type of the genus. Happily, there is no nomenclatural dispute whatever about the correct application of the name, and it has never been used in any other sense than the origi- nal one. The loiown species are confined to Europe and North America. The first North American species were mentioned by Osten Sacken in his Western Diptera, 1877, in a paragraph which is well worth quoting for its historic interest: Symphoromyia, ep. —Half a dozen species, which I took in Marin and Sonoma Coun- ties in April and May, and about Webber Lake in July, all have the anal cell open and therefore belong to the genus Symphoromyia Frauenfeld (Ptiolina Schiner, not Zetterstedt). California seems to be much richer in this group than Em'ope or the Atlantic States of North America; but as these species resemble each other very closely, and as both sexes often differ in coloring, I deem it more prudent not to attempt to describe them. The female of one of these species which I observed near Webber Lake stings quite painfully and draws blood like a Tabanus. I am not aware of the fact ever having been noticed before concerning any species of Leptidae (p. 244). The next occurrence of the genus in North American literature was when Williston described two species, pachyceras and plagens.^ This was closely followed by an article by Bigot,^ in which he described six species from North America, latipalpis, pidicornis, trivittata, ful- vipes, atripes, and comata.

  • Egg Recognition in Cinereous Tits (Parus Cinereus): Eggshell Spots Matter Jianping Liu1 , Canchao Yang1 , Jiangping Yu2,3 , Haitao Wang2,4 and Wei Liang1*
    Liu et al. Avian Res (2019) 10:37 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40657-019-0178-1 Avian Research RESEARCH Open Access Egg recognition in Cinereous Tits (Parus cinereus): eggshell spots matter Jianping Liu1 , Canchao Yang1 , Jiangping Yu2,3 , Haitao Wang2,4 and Wei Liang1* Abstract Background: Brood parasitic birds such as cuckoos (Cuculus spp.) can reduce their host’s reproductive success. Such selection pressure on the hosts has driven the evolution of defense behaviors such as egg rejection against cuckoo parasitism. Studies have shown that Cinereous Tits (Parus cinereus) in China have a good ability for recognizing foreign eggs. However, it is unclear whether egg spots play a role in egg recognition. The aims of our study were to inves- tigate the egg recognition ability of two Cinereous Tit populations in China and to explore the role of spots in egg recognition. Methods: To test the efect of eggshell spots on egg recognition, pure white eggs of the White-rumped Munia (Lon- chura striata) and eggs of White-rumped Munia painted with red brown spots were used to simulate experimental parasitism. Results: Egg experiments showed that Cinereous Tits rejected 51.5% of pure white eggs of the White-rumped Munia, but only 14.3% of spotted eggs of the White-rumped Munia. There was a signifcant diference in egg recognition and rejection rate between the two egg types. Conclusions: We conclude that eggshell spots on Cinereous Tit eggs had a signaling function and may be essential to tits for recognizing and rejecting parasitic eggs. Keywords: Brood parasitism, Egg recognition, Egg rejection, Eggshell spots, Parus cinereus Background egg rejection by hosts, many parasitic birds evolve coun- Te mutual adaptations and counter-defense strategies ter-adaptations to overcome the hosts’ defenses by laying between brood parasitic birds such as cuckoos (Cuculus mimicking (Brooke and Davies 1988; Avilés et al.

    p A NEW PROCELSTERNA FROM THE LEEWARD ISLANDS, HAWAIIAN GROUP. By Walter K. Flshek. During the past spring- the U. S. Fish Commission steamer Alhatross, while engaged in deep-sea dredging in Hawaiian waters, made a trip to Laysan Island, and on the return voyage stopped at Necker Island (latitude 23° 35' 2i" N. ; longitude 164° 41' W.). Here the naturalists of the Expedition were landed. Almost at once we noticed a little gray tern about the rocks, and promptly secured specimens. The same species had previously been seen at sea near the French Frigate Shoals, to the westward. The tern proved to be a new species of the genus Proeelsterna Lafresnaye," and is here described. I wish to record my best thanks to Mr. Witmer Stone, of Philadel- phia, Pennsylvania, for kindly comparing the type with that of Anous ciiirveus Gould {^^Proeelsterna cinereci) and for giving me measure- ments, and notes on the literature appertaining to P. eerulea (Bennett) and P. cinerea (Gould). I am also indebted to Mr. Robert Ridgway, of the IT. S. National Museum, for the loan of a specimen of P. cendea and one of P. cinerea^ which have been of the greatest value; to Mr. J. O. Snj'der, who shared the discovery with the writer; and not least to Dr. Charles H. Gilbert, chief of the expedition, who encouraged in every possible way the ornithological side of our Avork. PROCELSTERNA SAXATILIS, new species. NECKER ISLAND TERN. Specific cJuvracters. —Nearest Proeelsterna cinerea (Gould) but more bluish in color, with darker upper parts, darker breast, sides, iianks, and lower tail coverts, and with pearly gray under wing coverts (instead of white of cinerea)^ shorter and slenderer bill, and shorter wings.
