Genus EUTHOCTA Mayr. 

 E. galeator Fabricius. 



Mosholu, N. Y., September 6 ; Newfoundland, N. J., July; Staten Id., N. V. , 

 June and September. 



This is of rather infrequent occurrence. 



Genus METAPODIUS Westwood. 

 M. terminalis Dallas. 



Mosholu, N. Y., September 6; Rainapo, N. V., May 31 ; Staten Id., N. V., 

 May 7 and 8, June 20, September 8. 



This also is'rather uncommon. In two years' collecting I have secured but one 

 immature adult. 



Genus LEPTOGLOSSUS Guerin. 

 L. oppositus Say. 



Staten Id., N. Y., October. 



This is the specimen credited to Mr. 1 )avis in the N. J. List, and as it is the only 

 one I have seen from this vicinity, it would seem to be quite rare. 



Genus ANASA Amyot & Serville. 

 A. tristis DeGeer 



Jamesburg, N. J. , June 22. 



1 have taken none of this species, and Mr. Davis only the one as above, possibly 

 because neither of us frequents squash vines. 



Genus ALYDUS Fabricius. 



This is the most abundant genus of the family; both as to species and individuals 

 They are ordinarily to be found on bush-clover in the flowering season actively flying 

 about. They make a rather loud noise with the wings, and in their flight resemble 

 somewhat Hymenopterous insects. Alydus calcarator Fabr. ( = calcaratus Uhl., not 

 Linne), mentioned in the N. J. List, has been shown by Prof. A. L. Montandon 

 ("Notes on American Hem. Het.," Proc. U. S. N. M., Vol. XVI, pp. 45-52, 

 1893) to be strictly European, and not to occur on this continent. The form identi- 

 fied with this he described as new under the name Alydus conspersus Mont. 



A. eurinus Say. 



Forest Pk., L. I., N. Y., June 27 ; Hewitt, N. J., July; Jamesburg, N. J., 

 July 5 and August 31 ; Mosholu, N. Y., May 29, June 20, 22 and 28, July 25, 

 August 8, October 18; Newfoundland, N. J., September; Staten Id., N. Y., June 

 12, August 2, September 6, 8 and 20; Yan Cortlandt Pk., N. Y. City, August 15 

 and September 12 ; Westfield, N. J., August 7 and 13. 



This is very common and abundant. 



A. pilosulus Herrich-Schaeffer. 



Forest Pk , L. I., N. Y., June 27 ; Brookville, N. J., July; Jamesburg, N. J., 

 June ; Mosholu, N. Y., June 22 and 28, July 19 ; Newfoundland, N. J., September ; 

 Van Cortlandt Pk., N. Y. City, June 6, August 15, September 12 ; Westfield, N. I., 



July 9 and September 5. 



This form also is common, and occurs with the preceding in similar situations.
