COLEOPTERA. 



(Arranged according to Henshaw's List of the Coleoptera of America, North 



of Mexico.) 



As announced in the Entomological Record of 1903, Mr. E. D. Harris, 

 of 280 Broadway, New York, has been paying special attention to Canadian 

 Cicindelidae, and has very kindly supplied me with the following notes on the 

 rarer species which have come into his hands. Some further records shown be- 

 tween brackets — have been kindly sent to me by Mr. C. W. Leng, of 83 Reade 

 Street, New York, another well known student of these beetles. 



18. Cicindela longilabris, Say. Cape Breton, taken by A. D. Mclntyre. 

 Black, or very dark brown (corresponding with the form as taken 

 freely in the Province of Quebec, at Mt. Desert on the Maine coast, 

 and sparingly in August, 1904, in the Adirondack mountains in 

 N.Y.); humeral and post-humeral dots, slender middle band often 

 broken, and small sub-apical dot. July and August. 



18c. Jongilahris, Say, var. gnontana, Lee. A single specimen sent me by 

 Mr. Venables, taken at Vernon, B.C., April. [Aweme, Man., 

 Griddle, (C.W.L.)] Regina (Willing). 

 longilabris, Say, var. Kaslo, B.C., and vicinity, taken by Mr. 

 Cockle. Brilliant green (occasionally blue) and deep bronze 

 brown, highly metallic, with all intermediate shadings of color; 

 humeral lunule either entire or broken ; middle band broader than 

 in type and frequently extended at margin, anteapical 'dot. May, 

 August and September. 

 '256. purpurea, Oliv., var. graminea, Schaupp. Vernon, B.C. Sent to 

 me by Mr. Venables. A single specimen in the series approaches 

 the typical insect of Olivier in its colorings ; but the others closely 

 correspond to Schaupp's description. 



25/. purpurea, Oliv., var. Jimbalis, Klug. Cape Breton, taken by Mr. 

 Mclntyre, represented by but two specimens, in one of which the 

 middle band is less sinuate and shorter, and in the other much 

 more deflexed and extended than in the P. Q. race. There is no 

 doubt as to the identification, but the specimens would seem to in- 

 dicate a wide diverorence in a series from this region. August. 

 [Aweme, Criddle (C.W.L.)] 

 .32 vulgaris. Say. Cape Breton, taken by Mr. Mclntyre; a single speci- 

 men of the horidvnensis form of Mr. Leng, (Revision of Cicm- 

 delida, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, XXVIII.), but with markings 

 more attenuated than usual. August. 



Kaslo, B.C., and vicinity, a very large series taken by Mr. 

 Cockle. The variety has distinctive characters ; more slender and 

 arched than type; humeral lunule broken and the anterior portion 

 often absent; middle band scarcely touches the margin; apical 

 lunule generally complete, often strongly accentuated, occasion- 

 ally broken; color variable, from coppery bronze to a dull green 

 bronze. April to October, very plentiful at the close of season. 

 The same variety was taken in April at Vernon by Mr. Venables. 



Calgary, N.W.T., taken bv Mr. Willing, the variety generally 

 x-ecognized as obliquata, Dej., distinguished by the broad mark- 

 ings, entire humeral lunule, mi^ldle band extended at the margin, 

 and apical lunule entire and strongly accentuated. In the series
