back obliquely on joints 9 and 10, making a dark purple lateral line ; the 

 pale part of the dorsum is wider on the posterior than on the anterior of 

 each joint, the space being bordered by an oblique purple line that fades 

 out before quite reaching the lateral line ; the rest of the dorsum is like 

 the sides, excepc a little darker ; between the two posterior tubercles or 

 elevations is a clear white V, the point beginning on the anterior part of 

 joint 10 and extending back to the posterior part of joint 11 on the sides. 

 Three of these larvse were found by Mrs. French on a rose bush, Sep- 

 tember 18, 1SS4, nearly grown. By October ist they had pupated, 

 fastening the leaves together for a puparium, within which they changed. 

 The following spring these produced three imagines, May 20, 22 and 31 

 respectively. No effort was made to rear a second brood, but from the 

 time the larva were found in the fall it is to be presumed that there are 

 two broods in a season, 



NOTES ON CERTAIN COLEOPTERA OF THE NEIGHBOR- 

 HOOD OF GALESBURG, ILL. 



BY C. W. STRUMBERG. 



Lebia divisa Lee. — Twenty-nine specimens of this beautiful Carabid 

 were taken during July (1884) with the sweeping net, on various weeds 

 along the edge of a slough. One specimen was found under a board. 

 Towards sunset seemed to be the only time they could be captured, differ-

 at all hours of the day. My first specimen was taken in 1876 in same 

 locality. 



Lebia tricolor, pleiiritica and analis seem to be rare. Have taken 

 them v/ith the sieve late in October. 



A penes sinuata Say. Oct., two specimens under a log. 



Pentagonica bicolor Lee. Not rare among leaves and rubbish in the 

 late fall and early spring. Specimens are often taken in the sweeping net 

 during summer. 



Cryptobium serpentimim Lee. Oct. 2 (1883 ^)- Took two specimens 

 of this fine insect under logs in moist woods. 



Dicerca asperata L. & G. Was found in numbers late in the fall by 

 searching among the fallen leaves on hill sides, especially in fiat places or
