196 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



turned up four specimens at Forest Hills, and Mr. Bryant seven males at 

 Cohasset, Mass., and I also took a few myself. 



This seems to be a very early species, occurring with ruberata, and 

 seems distinct enough from H. autunmalis to deserve specific rank. The 

 peculiaily shaped fore wings, the broad mesial band and the tendency for 

 the extradiscal and intradiscal lines to unite near the inner margin will 

 help to separate it from any other species.

 Genera of the Tenebrionid Tribe Asidmi," and "Studies in the Longicornia 

 of North America." 



The first mentioned is a revision and synopsis of the family, occupy- 

 ing 67 pages, in which are fully described 6 new genera, 4 new subgenera, 

 48 new species and 10 new subspecies. 



The second is a study in the tribe Asidini of the family Tenebrionidse; 

 to this is devoted 155 pages, in wh'ch are fully described 14 new genera, 

 129 new species and 28 new subspecies. 



The third being studies commencing with the family Spondylidct and 

 embracing the Cerambycidae as fiir as the genus Microclytus, 162 pages 

 are devoted to this portion, in which are described 19 new genera, 4 new

In addition to the new genera and species, many of the older ones 

 are described and very many useful notes are interspersed throughout ; 

 the whole forming a valuable addition to the literature on these families.
