early as March and continues until late June. 
PHYMATODES Muls. 
P. variabilis Fabr. Throughout the State on oak, VI, VII; the larva is 
one of the “bark slippers” often found in great numbers on cord 
wood. 
P. infuscatus Lee. Staten Island (Lg).

New Jersey (Jl).

dead grape stems; locally not rare.

P. varius Say. Not uncommon throughout the State, V, VI; the larva, 
with that of “variabilis,” in oak; I have bred both species from one 
stick. 
The record of “P. blandus” in last edition was based on a misidentifi- 
cation. 
MERIUM Kirby. 
M. proteus Kirby. Newfoundland, 1 example collected by Leng (Jl). 
is essentially a boreal species; but the record of its capture by 
Mr. Leng is clear in all details. The example was taken alive on a 
log near a local sawmill, the log cut in the nearby woods. 
CALLIDIUM Fabr. 
C. antennatum Newn. Throughout the State IV-VIII on pine and cedar; 
usually common and most abundant in May. 
C. janthinum Lee, South Amboy IV, on pine boughs (Ds); Irvington on 
cut cedar IV (Bf); it is possible that both of these records may 
eventually prove to refer to the preceding; but the determinations 
seem correct.
