153. A. similis, Say. 



Lancaster. 



154. A. crenatus, Say. 



Ridgeway, Ont. Two of these Ridgeway species were 

 among the material kindly given me by Mr. Kilman but with- 

 out the specimens I cannot locate them. 



155. A. lugubris, Fallen. (=>rectus, Say.) 



Ridgeway, Ont. , Buffalo, on a window in June. Hamburgh, 

 Aug., Golden July 1S86. At the latter locality several individ- 

 uals appeared on the trunk of a small maple tree about 5 o'clock 

 every afternoon. They were very active, leaping and sporting 

 about in the rays of the declining sun as flies of the Tachinidse 

 frequently do. The reflection of the sunlight from their white 

 glassy wings made these little black bugs look like drops of 

 silver as they darted from point to point, and their activity 

 made it next to impossible to capture them or even to trace 

 them with the eye.

One specimen taken from under a rotting log at Lancaster, 

 July 12, 1889. 



CORISCUS, Schranck. 



160. C. subcoleoptratus, Kirby. 



Common everywhere from July to Sept. The young in their 

 earlier stages quite strongly resemble our common black ants 

 and may be found in similar situations on golden-rod and other 

 weeds and bushes. They reach maturity about July 1st but 

 here rarely acquire wings. A single macropterous example 

 occurred to me while sweeping weeds near "the ledges'' at 

 Buffalo Park, June 25, 18S7.
