PIODES Leconte. 

 P. COriacea Lee. J. A. P. ser. 2, i p. 318; Ent. Rept. 1S57, p. 62. 

 Len.y,tli 19 mm. = .75 in. Hab. — Oreijon. 



Black piceous, somewhat shining, head and thorax very closely 

 rugosely punctate; elytra rugose. 



"The whole appearance of this insect is that of a Prionide; it 

 differs, however, by its immarginate thorax and conical anterior 

 coxae. Eyes scarcely prominent, mandibles rather long edentate, 

 antennae scarcely longer than head and thorax; thorax wider than 

 long, very densely rugosely punctured, dorsal line finely impressed. 

 Elytra twice as wide as thorax and half longer than wide, truncate 

 at base, dilated a little behind the middle, rounded at apex, densely 

 rugose with a few scattered punctures." 



Dr. Horn has kindly called our attention to an error in the 

 bibliography of Pachyta, viz. : P. riigipennis should read Newn. 

 Zool. ii, p. 476; Lee, etc. (not Lee. Newn. ms.). This had been 

 already pointed out by Dr. Horn (Ent. A\[. i, p. 6, and note 14, 

 p. 9), and stands correctly in Henshaw's List. 



It should be understood that Dr. Horn's work on Ajithophilax 

 ends with his signature. There is a good colored figure of A. »ii- 

 rificus under the name Pachyta costaricensis Bates, Biol. Cent. Am. 

 v, p. 277, pi. xxi, fig. I.

The mosquito is to have a new lease of life! The Lamborn 

 prizes have been awarded to those who most gracefully saidjthat the 

 Dragonflies couldn't master him. W^e said the same thing long- 

 since and got no prize either!
