THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 251 



all the surrounding oaks; no captures have been made after three days in suc- 

 cession, and in 1914, 1916, 1917, 1918 and 1919 none were found in the type 

 localit\-. One specimen has been seen from Hubbardston, and a specimen was 

 taken from tanglefoot on a white oak in Sherborn, Mass., in July. 



Agrilus crataegi Frost. Since the description from Pennsylvania material 

 the species has turned up in Edgebrook and Riverside, 111. Specimens were 

 taken by Mr. Emil Liljeblad, June 12 to 26, 1913, and June 20 and 27, 1914, 

 and others by Mr. Carl Selinger on June 11, 11^15. A large number of both 

 sexes have been examined from this locality, and but one slight colour variant 

 noted ; in this the cupreous reflections of the posterior fourth of elytra are want- 

 ing. Two specimens have been seen from Virginia, taken in June by Mr. 

 Nathan Banks. 



Telephorvis neglectus Fall. This species was first discovered in the pupal 

 state while digging up an abandoned ant hill, April 30, 1910. They were of a 

 pinkish colour and soon changed to nearly black. Other pupae were found 

 April 27, 1913, and changed to adults on May 4. 



In comparing these adults with supposed carolinus the difference in the form 

 of the claws was noticed and specimens of both forms were sent to Dr. W. Horn, 

 of Berlin, Germany. He submitted them to M. Pic, who pronounced them both 

 carolinus, but Dr. Horn agreed with me that the specimens with the claws 

 basally toothed {neglectus) must be placed near dentiger. The type of dentiger 

 was then examined and found to be entirely different. There might seem to be 

 some question which of the two species was before Fabricius, but from the known 

 habitat of neglectus it is probable that the more widely-distributed and generally 

 accepted form is the true carolinus. 



Besides the ungual characters, the elytra are more coarsely granulate- 

 punctate and slightly more shining, the second and third antennal joints are 

 more nearly equal in the female of neglectus. There is also a small angle of the 

 yellow (sometimes pinkish) border entrant into the base of the dark thoracic 

 disk at the middle; while this is an apparently trivial thing, it is constant in 

 my large series, and the species were separated by this character before using a 

 lens to examine the claws. 



Laricobius erichsoni Rosen. Several specimens of this rarely-taken beetle 

 were found on willow catkins at Sherborn, Mass., April 19, 1913, and May 8, 

 1909. In 1919, on May 18. one was swept from the flowering shrubs of Rhodora 

 canadensis at Framingham. 



Geotrupes horni Blanchard. The recorded range of this species is con- 

 siderably extended toward the northeast by the capture of two specimens at 

 Monmouth, Me., while digging under fungi on September 4 and 9, 1917. 



Disonycha funerea Rand. A specimen has been taken at Wellesley, Mass., 

 by Mr, A. P. Morse, May 9, 1892, and I have seen another one in the collection 

 of Mr, E. J. Smith, of Sherborn. It was originally described from Florida; 

 there are two specimens in the Harris collection from Georgia. 



Barynotus schoeneri Zetterst, In the "Rhynchophora or Weevils of 

 North Eastern America", by Blatchley and Leng, this species is recorded as 

 having been taken at Wales, Me., and Framingham, Mass. This is an error 

 due to my carelessness in not verifying the characters of a species of Panscopus
