10 E Canadian Arctic Expedition, 1913-18 
Family CERAMBYCIDAE. 
Only four species of this family were obtained in the extreme north including 
seven specimens in all. 
Genus Criocephalus Muls. 
Griocephalus agrestis Kirby. 
Fn. Bor. Am., IV, p. 140, 1837; Leconte, J. A. P., ser 2, 11, 36, 1850; Leng., 
Bull. Brooklyn Ent. Soc, VII, 64, 1884; Blatchley, Col. of Indiana, 1015, 1910. 
One male from the Arctic coast; length, 2.1 cm., width 5.5 mm. at base 
of elytra, length of elytra 16.5 mm.; width of pronotum 4.5 mm.; length of 
pronotum 4 mm. The pronotal impressions moderate; the sides narrowly 
rounded, with only a few rugosities; punctuation close and minutely granulate. 
The elytra densely punctured and minutely granulate; the two costse rather 
strongly developed. More densely and coarsely granulate-punctuate than 
usual, but probably conspecific with the more southern forms. 
Cape Bathurst, Northwest Territories, August 22, 1914, R. M. Anderson, 
collector, 886; crawling on beach, probably from driftwood which had come 
down the Mackenzie river or the Anderson river. 
Other northern records: Rampart House, Yukon Territory (18 miles south), 
D. H. Nelles, collector, 9 specimens; 3 much smaller specimens from the same 
place may be distinct 14 mm. in length; slender, the pronotum subcircular 
from above, Dawson, Y.T., VIII, 1909, one specimen. 
Genus Merium Kirby. 
Meriutn proteus Kirby. 
Fn. Bor. Am. LV, p. 172, t.s.; f.s. 1837; Mannerheim, Bull. Mosc. Ill,

286, 1912. 
Three dead specimens of this well known species were taken from the bark 
of dead white spruce. One specimen has only faint traces of the pale lines 
on the elytra; otherwise they need no description.

17, 1915, F. Johansen, collector.

15, 1915, F. Johansen, collector; one specimen, taken from the pupal 
cell in small limb of white spruce. 
The tunnels of Neoclytus muricatulus are numerous on a short dead branch 
from a living tree. Part of the bark had fallen; the branch had been dead for
