colony to the ground, where they will lie motionless and quite invisible, so that 

 you had better give up looking for the tricky little creature. 



No further observations have been made on the habits of the insect, nor 

 have I even seen the larva or the eggs. So we may still doubt if Solidago lati- 

 folia be really the food-plant of Chalepiis nervosa. This question might be 

 elucidated next season, and it would also be interesting to find out what sort 

 of damage the beetle causes to the foliage of this handsome wood Goldenrod. 



Blatchley, in his work on the Coleoptera of Indiana, says that Chalepus 

 nervosa occurs on weeds and bushes of many kinds. So far, I have not seen the 

 beetle crawling in number over any plant except Solidago latijolia. 



Is it not strange that the discovery was made only after more than twenty 

 years of very active collecting?

A NEW PARAJULUS FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA. 



BY RALPH v. CHAMBERLIN, CAMBRIDGE, MASS. 



In a small collection of Chilopods and Diplopods collected by Dr. C. Gordon 

 Hewitt in British Columbia, Sept., 1918, were several specimens of a new species 

 of Parajulus. These were collected at Agassiz. From the same locality were 

 also secured representatives of Harpaphe haydeniana (Wood) and Bothropolys 

 hoples (Brolemann). A specimen of Paohius orophilus Chamberlin, previously 

 known from Kaslo, was taken at Jaspa, Goat Mountain, at an elevation of 7,000 

 feet.
