NOTES ON COLEOPTERA. 



BY W. KNAUS, MC PHERSON, KANSAS. 



Cotalpa subcribrata, Wick., was fairly common the last two weeks in 

 May and the first half of June, 1907. On willows in the sand hills near 

 Medora, Kansas, in Reno County. During the day they were found 

 clinging to twigs and foliage of scrub willows. I have seen this species, 

 or subspecies, from Central Kansas west, from western Nebraska, and 

 from Colorado, near Fort Collins. 



Anthaxia viridicornis^ Say, I took for the first time in twenty-five 

 years' collecting in Kansas last June on wnllows near Medora. Three 

 specimens only were taken. 



A new Chariste?ia near ariadjie, Nevvm., but markedly distinct from 

 that species in the shape of the thorax and other characters, was beaten 

 from willows near Medora the first week in June, 1907. Three speci- 

 mens were taken. I had never seen the species before, although the 

 same ground had been collected over by me for the past twenty years. 



Glaresis i/iduda, Horn, was taken at light one evening in July, 1907, 

 in McPherson ; but one specimen was secured differing slightly from 

 typical specimens of the species. This record extends the range of the 

 species much to the northward, the previous northern record having been 

 near Fedor, Texas. 



Specimens of Cicindela ??ia?'gi?iata, Fab., and togata, Laf., were 

 received during the i)ast season from Mr. H. P. Loding, taken near 

 Mobile, Alabama ; this is a new locality for this species.
