gated, median, transverse spot posterior and lateral to which is a 

 single spot. Ventral spots of thoracic segments similar to those 

 of abdomen except that the median spot is rounded and that of the 

 prothorax is confluent with the two others forming an irregular one. 

 Outer portions of legs dark brown except for apical portions of 

 femora which are light; inner surfaces lighter. Newly hatched 

 larvae are somewhat lighter in color than mature ones. The same 

 spots are apparently present but are not clearly defined and appear 

 more confluent. 



Pupa. — Length 3.9 mm. Width 1.75 mm. Light yellow. Sur- 

 face bearing several acutely pointed spine-like hairs arising from 

 minute, darkened tubercles and arranged as follows : Head bears 

 one at base of each antenna; one at outer margin of each eye and 

 one posterior and medianly to this. Prothorax bears a pair on 

 anterior margin on both sides of middle; three on outer angle of 

 lateral margin and a pair of somewhat separated ones on posterior 

 margin near lateral margin; also a median dorsal pair. Meso- and 

 metathorax bear a single one toward lateral margin. Each abdomi- 

 nal segment bears on its posterior margin a transverse, dorsal row 

 of six spine-like hairs (on some segments several of these hairs 

 appear to be missing). Spiracles dorsal, prominent, near lateral 

 margin of each abdominal segment beyond which is a single hair. 

 Extremity of abdomen terminating in a pair of short stout spines. 

 Apices of all femora bear a pair of hairs. 



Aditlt. — Haltica marevagans. This was described by Horn in 

 1889 in his paper, "A Synopsis of the Halticini of Boreal America" 

 (Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, Vol. XVI, p. 226) and his description fol- 

 lows : " Oval, slightly oblong, moderately convex, deep blue, rarely 

 slightly greenish, shining. Antenut'e half as long as the body, ob- 

 viously thicker externally, piceous, bluish at base, joint four dis- 

 tinctly longer than third and equal to fifth. Head smooth, frontal 

 carina scarcely prominent, the tubercles flat and indistinct. Thorax 

 more than half wider than long, sides arcuately narrowed to the 

 front, margin very narrow, slightly thickened at front angles, disc 

 convex, ante-basal impression extremely indistinct, often obliterated, 

 surface sparsely, finely punctate near the base, an oblique series of 

 coarser punctures beginning at the front angles. Elytra a little 

 wider at base than the thorax, humeri rounded, umbone feeble, a
