ca, occurring sometimes with ants, but usually in the rejectamenta of 

 stables, and seldom or never in rotten leaves, /. <:., 134. This species is 

 a doubtful myrmophile. 



Emphylus Americamis Lee. (Bui. U. S. Geol. Surv, Vol. V., No. 3, 

 513). — Mr. Schwarz took the type of the species in an ant's nest at Veta 

 Pass, Col., at the altitude of 11,500 feet. 



Sorojtta (Amphotis) Ulkei Lee. — Mr. Ulke says of this species : — " I 

 have found it every year, early in spring, in the nests of a small black ant 

 (Creniastogaster lineolata Say), and this year I collected them in numbers 

 among Formica rufa. The only species in Europe — Amphotis marginata 

 Fab., is said to be found on flowers. Erichson found them, however, 

 abundantly in the nests oi Formica fuliginosa." — Entoml. Amer., III., 78. 



Hypocoprus formicetorum Mots. (Bull. Mose., 1840). — This species, 

 described from the Kirghis Steppes in Asia, 'was taken by Mr. Schwarz 

 at Fort Garland, Colorado, in an ant's nest. — /. cit., 503; Class, of the 

 Coleop. of N. Amer., 140. 



Myrtnechixenis latridioides Crotch. Occurs from Washington 

 southwards, having been introduced with green-house plants. — Class., 140, 

 Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, IV., 363. The habits of this species have not been 

 recorded ; but, as the European species live in ants' nests and about green- 

 houses, it is introduced here to direct attention to it as a probable 

 myrmophile. 



Euparia castanea Serv. Occurs in Florida, Alabama and Louisiana, 

 in the nests of a small ant (Horn). — Tr., XIV., 87. To be commonly 

 met with in the Southern States in the nests of Solenopis Xylini McC, 

 the stinging ant of the cotton fields.— Amer. Nat, XVI., 784. 



Euphoria hirtipes Horn. — This species is stated to have been found 

 in Nebraska by Mr. Lawrence Bruner in the hills of the common red ant. 

 It occurred quite commonly, and the larvae were found as well as the 

 beetles. — Amer. Nat., XVI., 748. The discovery of the larvae of this 

 beetle is a matter of so great interest, that the absence of all further 

 account of them is disappointing. Maeklin states that the larvae of 

 Cetonia aurata, a near ally, are so abundant in the nests of Formica rufa 

 on sandy shores, that fishermen use them commonly to bait their hooks. 



Cremastochihcs Knochii Lee. — This species was taken in the spring 

 in ants' nests in Colorado by T. D. A. Cockerell, Custer County (in 

 letter).
