June, 1910.] LeNG : COLEOPTERA FROM NORTHERN GEORGIA. 81 



Note 7. — Ptcrostichus grandiceps was the most abundant rep- 

 resentative of its genus. Like several already mentioned, it is pecu- 

 liar to the Allegheny Mountains. 



Note 8. — Loxandrus velox was not found in the mountains, but 

 among grass roots near the banks of War Woman Creek. Upon 

 scratching about the short grass, the beetles were dislodged and ran 

 ■off with a speed that justified their specific name. 



Note 9. — Dineutes vittatus? differs from the specimens pre- 

 viously known by absence of vittae and its uniform cupreous color. 

 This was the only water beetle found, although considerable search 

 was made. There are no ponds near Clayton and all the streams 

 flow swiftly. 



Note 10. — Liodes geminata was found by Mr. Davis in a decay- 

 ing myxomecete. All the specimens comply entirely with the de- 

 scription. 



Note ii. — Brachyacantha congrucns. One pair found by Mr. 

 Davis agree perfectly with Major Casey's description of specimens 

 from Asheville, N. C, and indicate that this modification of the 

 ursina group may be peculiar to the southern Allegheny mountains. 



Note 12. — Carpophiliis mclanopterus has been rare in New York 

 collections. We found it in a field overrun with yucca by beating 

 the blossoms. Many other beetles occurred with it. All the speci- 

 mens taken have dark elytra, contrasting strongly with the gen- 

 eral pale color. 



Note 12,.—Dasycerus caroliniensis, described by Horn from speci- 

 mens found by Morrison near Morganton, N. C, was found by sift- 

 ing old leaves at the top of Black Rock Mountain. 



Note 14. — Corymbites trivitiatns and divaricatus are, like the pre- 

 ceding, peculiar to the region. The female of trivittatus is very 

 much larger than the male. 



Note 15. — Agrilus fuscipcnnis. One specimen of this beautiful 

 insect fell into Dr. Love's umbrella. It is rare and its distribution 

 may not be entirely known, but I believe it is peculiar to the region. 

 Mr. Dury states that it occurs in Tennessee and Kentucky. Rare. 



Note 16. — Clcrus joutcli, described in our September, 1909, num- 

 ber, was taken by beating at the top of Screamer Mountain — 3,700 

 feet elevation. 



Note 17. — Lcptura aurata is another instance of a species peculiar
