OBSERVATIONS. 



This insect is an inhabitant of the greater 

 part of the Union. I have obtained specimens 

 in Missouri. In my account of the species as 

 above quoted, I made the folio vs^ing remark: 

 " I should consider it the same as the Tillus 

 damicornis of Fabr. but that, in the description 

 of that insect, the author mentions but two 

 dilated joints of the antennae, v^^hereas in ours 

 there are three dilated joints." Notwithstanding 

 this remark, it agrees with it so well in other 

 respects, that on further consideration, I think 

 we may safely refer it to the damicorne, and 

 admit that Fabricius was mistaken in the num- 

 ber of dilated joints. Latreille, in his Histoire 

 Naturelle, &c. observes, that " Le tille damicorne 

 de Fabricius differe peu, or presque point de 

 cette espece, (E. weberi) a en juger par les 

 phrases specifiques."
