CORRESPONDENCE. 



Eburia quadrigeminata Say has been considered by me a rare beetle 

 in this locality until within the last two years. I have taken it very abund- 

 antly in July and August while sugaring for moths in an old apple orchard 

 in Kendall Co., Illinois. 



Dorcaschema alternatum Say abounds in July and August on hedges of 

 Osage Orange, and is found more abundantly on the shaded rather than 

 on the sunny side of the hedge. 



Dectcs spinosus Say is very abundant in July on what is usually known 

 as rag-weed — Ambrosia artemisicefolia Linn. 



I have in cabinet eleven °. examples of Rhyssa lunator Fabr., and 

 seven % examples of Rhyssa atrata Fabr. One lunator presents some 

 peculiarities that seem worth recording. Ten of the °_ lunator have the 

 supporters of the ovipositor uniformly a trifle shorter than the ovipositor 

 itself, but the eleventh is to me somewhat of a monstrosity. What should 

 be the ovipositor consists of three exceedingly fine hair-like projections, 

 not more than three-fourths the length of the semi-cylindrical supporters. 

 These hairs are of a yellowish color, the tip of each one, for about one- 

 sixteenth of an inch, being black, the usual color of the ovipositor in 

 lunator, or at least the color of the ovipositor in ten of my eleven 

 examples. Will some hymenopterist please explain the matter?

I have to record the capture of Macroglossa tantalus, June 2nd. It 

 was taken on Mr. Erastus Coming's farm, at Kenwood, Albany Co., N. Y. 

 In same locality I have also taken in former years Deilephila tcrsa, Clnc- 

 rocampa versicolor, Sphinx cingulaia, Plt/sia formosa, P. niortuoruni, 

 Abrostola ovalis. etc. R. M. Grey.
