Under side as in male, the yellow spots of ?ubmarginal row on second- 

 aries more or less confluent with the marginal. 



From I male, i female, sent me by Mr. W. G. Wright, taken at San 

 Bernardino, flying with Leanira. Mr. Wright had in all 2 males and 2 

 females, the only examples observed by him. The species is nearest 

 Fulvia, and is distinguished at once by its excess of red. 



COLEOPTERA FOUND IN DEAD TRUNKS OF TILIA 

 AMERICANA L, IN OCTOBER. 



BY C. H. T. TOWNSEND, CONSTANTINE, MICH. 



Having examined a good number of dead trunks of the basswood or 

 American linden, * Tilia Atnerica?ia Z., here this fall, I have found quite 

 a list of Coleoptera in them either under the bark or in the decayed wood. 

 The following is the list, which embraces, thirty-four species taken from 

 13th October to 3rd November, 1885. Some of the species are only of 

 accidental occurrence in the trunks, but will be readily known, and are 

 given to record them from this locality. The determinations are mostly 

 by Dr. Horn : — 



Tachys nanus Gyll. Colonies or scattered individuals mixed with 

 colonies of Silvanus planatus Germ., or by themselves, under the bark 

 of the less decayed trunks. 



Tachys flavicauda Say. One immature specimen by itself under the 

 bark of a small decayed trunk, 17 th October. 



Fterostichus honestus Say. One or two specimens under some of the 

 loose bark. 



Platymcs sinuatus Dej. Several under the same bark with the pre- 

 ceding. 



Chlaenius circumcinctus Say. Remains of one specimen found un- 

 der the bark of an upright decayed trunk out in the water, by the edge of 

 the river. 



* As a supplementary note to the trees of the main river district given in a previ- 

 ous article (Can. Entom, xvii.. p. 170), I would say that I omitted to mention the 

 basswood, which is one of the most prominent trees of the rich woods along the St. 

 Joseph River here, on account of its stately growth and straight, bare trunk, extend- 

 ing upward, smooth often for more than half its height. The button-wood or Western 

 plane tree, called also sycamore, is of the same district.
