388 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



I hav'C found but one li\c specimen. The earliest date is June l.'i 

 at Paris, and the latest August 2, at Wales. 



Euphoria ful^ida Fab. Two specimens were taken at sap 

 on a red oak stump at Monmouth June 29. 1912. One of these 

 was decorated with a number of spots resemblinjj whitewash 

 on the disk of the ehtra. and a single spot on each side near the 

 margin This is the only one 1 have ever taken with white mark- 

 ings. I once saw a mmil<cr cf these beautiful insects fl>ing about 

 me while sur\e>ing. The\- were attracted to the brass moimtings 

 of the level on which the sun was shining. Near me was a corn 

 field in which the farmer had hung pieces of I in to scare off the 

 crows, and perhaps these shining, swaying bits of melal had first 

 attracted them to the i(calit\-. 



Physocnemum brevilinciivi Say. About the Kith of July, 

 1913, I was pleased to discoxer that these graceful little creatures 

 were \isiting the elms in the \illage of South Paris, and from noon 

 until nearl\- 5 p.m., while the sun was shining. I replenished my 

 meagre suppK-. The\- did not favour trees under two feet in dia- 

 meter, and were found l(<w down on the trunks running in and 

 out of the crevices and folds of the bark much resembling huge 

 ants. On the disappearance of the sun l:eneath a cloud they 

 secreted themseKes. and when frightened dropjied to the ground 

 and attempted to hide. W hen the sun was \ery hot they some- 

 times escaped by flying. In 1914 they were found from JuK' 12 

 to 16; and apparently the maximum alnmflance extends o\er a 

 \ery short period. 



Xylotrechus guadrimaciilatiis Hald. The first and only speci- 

 men I have ever taken was found on a pile of lumber at Monmouth, 

 June 29, 1912, and appeared to be freshly emerged. This speci-, 

 men is of a reddish-brown colour, and I have another from Orono, 

 July 14, 19()(), which is a light testaceous grey. 



CaUoides nohilis Say. I was greatly surprised to find five 

 specimens of this fine l)eetle at sap on an oak stump at Monmouth, 

 June 29, 1912. 



MonohaptniHS confusor Kirby. I have taken this species 

 twice at Monmouth. 



Monohammus marmorator Rand. A single specimen has been 

 sent me from Wales, but I have not yet been able to find it myself.
