Opening Session

The Entomological Society of Canada held its eighth annual meeting jointly with the ninety-fifth annual meeting of the Entomological Society of Ontario at the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, from October 29 to November 1. This was the first meeting of the national society at the headquarters of the Ontario society, which for many years served as a national society. A total of 172 members and friends attended, including 23 members and guests from the United States and 17 wives. At the beginning of the opening session, a minute's silence was observed in tribute to Dr. K. W. Neatby, Director, Science Service, Canada Department of Agriculture, who had died on October 27. Addresses of welcome were given by G. G. Dustan, President, Entomological Society of Ontario, Dr. J. D. MacLachlan, President, Ontario Agricultural College, and G. P. Holland, President, Entomological Society of Canada. At the opening session, Mr. Holland asked whether the Society was paying due attention to all its responsibilities. He considered that responsibilities to amateur entomologists might well be given more attention, possibly by providing a place for amateurs on the programs at annual meetings, by publishing handbooks, and by providing financial aid to students in entomology. He welcomed Dr. V. B. Wigglesworth, Cambridge University, England, to the meeting and also D. K. McE. Kevan, Head, Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology, Macdonald College, to Canada.

The following descriptions of five new genera and species of Tachinidae are based upon material received from several sources as indicated below. Most of the species have been standing in my collection for a number of years pending the accumulation of longer series. My thanks are due A. R. Brooks for the loan of some additional material recently discovered in the extensive tachinid collections in the Canadian Department of Agriculture. The type or paratype specimens, of the two species represented by this material, are returned for deposit in the Canadian Collection, as detailed under the descriptions.

In 1957, a program of introducing insect predators for control of the balsam woolly aphid, Chermes (= Adelges) piceae Ratz., was begun in Oregon and Washington. This program was made possible through the generous cooperation of the Canadian Department of Agriculture, which provided many of the predators. Eighteen predator species from Europe, Asia, and Australia were liberated from 1957 through 1960. Four of the species are known to have survived one or more winters and show promise of becoming permanently established.
