THE CANADIAN ENT0M0L0C4IST. 97 



Ci'yptocephalus badius Suffr. One specimen on foliage of Carya amara, 

 24th July. Middle and Southern States. 



Pachybrachys feiiioratus Oliv. Taken on young pines, about the end of 

 July, near Hull. 



Galcruca 6-vittata Lee. Two specimens in June. Has been found at 

 Buffalo. 



Disonycha caroli?iiana Fabr. Tliis species is apparently rare in the im- 

 mediate vicinity as I have only found two ; one under a stone in 

 May, where it had probably hibernated, the other taken on a beat- 

 ing net on 28th July. At the South Nation river, however, near 

 Casselman, about thirty miles southward, I found it quite abund- 

 ant last summer (23rd June), feeding upon the narrow leaf dock 

 (Rumex verticillatis.) There appears to be some confusion, this 

 (or another) beetle in Canada, as in the lists of the Entomological 

 Society a label is given for " D. Carolhiiana Oliv.," while the re- 

 cent lists of the Toronto Nat. Hist. Soc, do not contain the 

 species. 



BRUCHID^. 



BrucJms cruentatus Horn. One captured and another seen. A pretty 

 and very active little beetle, having a wide but more southerly 

 range, and stated to be everywhere rare. 



TENEBRIONID^. 



Strongyliiwi terminatuin Say. Two specimens. 



MELANDRYID^E. 



The species of this family, unlike those of the preceding one, are well 



represented in Canada, and the individuals of some are among the most 



common of our fungus-eating beetles. 



Hyptdus n. sp. ? Among some beetles given to Dr. Le Conte, was one 

 which he indicated in a list afterwards sent to me, as a new species. 

 " with deep thoracic impressions." The specimen having been 

 incorporated in his large collections it will be now impossible to 

 identify it or to say whether it was a new species. 



*{Mystaxis) simulator Newm. Two specimens. 



MORDELLID^. 



Mordel/a irrorata Leo. Rare. Recorded from Michigan but belongs 

 rather to the middle and Southern States, and is given as not rare 

 in Florida.
