But one species is known in this genus; and althougli the per- 

 fect insect is not uncomuiouly found on tlie trunks of po[)lars, the 

 Lirva has not yet been observed. It is true that Madame Licin'g 

 has described a ku'va as belonging to this species, whicli she says 

 lives in .lune on hlrelies, making lioles in the leaves; but some 

 eiTor is probable here, as the perfect insect seems exclusively at- 

 tached to poplarn.
