118 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



RHIPIPHORID^. 



This family contains a number of species formerly included in Mor- 

 dellidae, and of some the larvae are known to be parasitic on Hymenoptera 

 and Orthoptera, 



* Felecotoma fiavipcs Mels. On 30th July, 1882, I captured several of 

 these rare beetles on an old beech tree at Chelsea, Que. 

 They were all ^ and were exceedingly active, running upon 

 and flying about the dead trunk, and were very difficult to 

 capture. 



RHYNCOPHORA. 



The remainder of my additions are included in this great division of 

 the Coleoptera. The difficulty in the past of determining species has so 

 shortened the lists of the families represented in Canada, that I find a 

 large percentage of my named species to be unrecorded. 



RHYNCHITID^. 



Rhynchites czratus Say. One, on hickory, 12th July. 



CURCULIONID;«. 



Apion herailafieum Smith. Three or four specimens. Occurs in Penn., 

 N. Y., D. C, Mass. 

 Walshii Smith. Several in July and August. This appears to be 



a common and widely distributed species. 

 segnipes Say. Not rare upon willows, especially when in flower. 

 Habitat given as Middle and Southern States. 

 The above three species were named for me by Mr. John B. Smith, 

 who has recently (Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, vol. xi., pages 41-68) revised 

 the extensive and difficult group of the Apioninae, and described many of 

 the species. I have other species which, for want of time, have not yet 

 been determined. 



Dorytonms longulus Lee. Three or four specimens. July. 



Grypidius equiseti Fab. Not rare. Taken on different trees. 



Procas picipes Steph. Several specimens. Captured in October nearly 



every year on fences, etc., about the city ; may perhaps feed upon 



potato. 

 Anchodemus angustatus Lee. Abundant in July on Sagittaria along the 



canal, feeding on the leaves of the narrow-leaved form. 

 Otidocephalus chevrolatii Horn. On elm, hickory, etc.
