68 PSYCHE [June 
Strangalia famelica, Newm. A small female, July 28, 1907. 
Typocerus lugubris, Say. June 20, 1908. 
Elytroleptus floridanus, Lec. his many-times recorded species is found here 
in numbers at times on the leaves of the red oak about the first week in June. Also 
taken in Middlesex Fell Reservation. 
Leptura rubrica, Say. Bred from dead chestnut, June. 
Cryptocephalus incertus, Oliv. Several specimens swept from Cranberry vines, 
Sept. 21, 1907. 
Macrobosis torsa, Lee. Described from ‘Texas, was taken first on June 17, 1904, 
and again on June 13 and 20, 1908, feeding on the black alder, Prinos verticillata. 
This species was determined for me by Prof. Fall, Pasadena, Cal. It was taken 
rather incidentally because of the numbers of small flies that were annoying the 
beetles while feeding. I supposed that it was Macrobasis unicolor and took a 
number to keep with the diptera for reference. Last season (1908) I found the flies 
still present with the beetles and also {made the discovery that the majority of the 
beetles were not torsa but unicolor. In 1904 there must have been more of the 
former, since nearly or quite all taken were torsa. M. unicolor is generally found 
feeding on Baptisia tinctoria, in Mass., but I have taken it in numbers at Wales, 
Maine, feeding on the Clematis and among them found a single specimen of /picauta 
cinerea, Forst. 
I also wish to record the occurrence of Stromatiwm pubescens Hald., at Bedford, 
Mass. two specimens of which have been taken by L. W. Swett at light.
