HYLOTRUPES Serv. 

 H. bajulus Linn. Throughout the State in June, on pine. 



H. ligneus Fabr. Throughout the State on cedar; begins to emerge as 

 early as March and continues until late June. 



PHYMATODES Muls. 



P. variabilis Fabr. Throughout the State on oak, VI, VII; the larva is 

 one of the "bark slippers" often found in great numbers on cord 

 wood. 



P. infuscatus Lee. Staten Island (Lg). 

 P. lengi Joutel. Fort Lee in May; type locality (Jl). 



P. lividus Rossi. An introduced species, found in Staten Island and 

 New Jersey (Jl). 



P. amoenus Say. Throughout the State IV, V, the larva breeding in 

 dead grape stems; locally not rare. 



P. ater Lee. Anglesea V, on oak (W) ; Sea Isle V, 29 (Brn). 

 P. dimidiatus Kirby. Staten Island (Lg) ; Long Branch (Bf). 



P. varius Say. Not uncommon throughout the State, V, VI; the larva, 

 with that of "variabilis," in oak; I have bred both species from one 

 stick. 



The record of "P. blandus" in last edition was based on a misidentifi- 

 cation. 



MERIUM Kirby. 



M. proteus Kirby. Newfoundland, 1 example collected by Leng (Jl). 

 This is essentially a boreal species; but the record of its capture by 

 Mr. Leng is clear in all details. The example was taken alive on a 

 log near a local sawmill, the log cut in the nearby woods. 



CALLIDIUM Fabr. 

 C. antennatum Newn. Throughout the State IV-VIII on pine and cedar; 



usually common and most abundant in May. 

 C. janthinum Lee. South Amboy IV, on pine boughs (Ds); Irvington on 



cut cedar IV (Bf ) ; it is possible that both of these records may 



eventually prove to refer to the preceding; but the determinations 



seem correct.
