 Boh. 



271, L. nebidostis\^tc. These were 

 common in sandy places near the 'bor- 

 ders of large ponds. They feed on leaves 

 of Rumex, and Polygonum, which grow 

 abundantly in the shallow waters. In 

 winter they bury themselves in the sand 

 beneath logs and rubbish. Three other 

 species of the genus, viz.. sordidiis 

 Gyll, callosus Lee, and latiusciiliis 

 Boh., are known from the countv. 



272, AlacropsporccHiisSAy. Plen- 

 tiful in winter. Singly beneath logs in 

 low places. 



273, M.sp.? Once only. Jan. 21. 

 A single specimen from beneath mullein. 



274, Lixus coticavus Say. On sev- 

 eral occasions beneath bark and logs in 

 dry upland woods. 



27'5, L. macer Lee. Common in 

 winter beneath logs on sandy hillsides, 

 near ponds. Plentiful in summer 011 

 the leaves of Rumex and Peltandrus. 



276, Gymneti-on teter Fab. Hiber- 

 nates in nujnbers lieneath mullein 

 leaves, on which plant it swarms in

 beneath logs and rubbish. It was 

 found in but one locality, viz., near 

 the borders of the large ponds, close 

 to the tovvpath of the " old canal."

 Horn, cariosus Oliv., sayi Gyll., 

 phicidiis Say, parvulns Gyll. and 

 zaca Horn, were taken in the county, 

 and some, if not all of them doubtless 

 hiliernate as iinagoes.
