S. calcarata depredates on poplars, bores holes into the Carolina 
poplars, causing them to break by the force of the wind. L. tri- 
dentata during the last four or five years has done incalculable 
damage in destroying the fine “white elms” (Ulimuts americana) 
around this city. As S. tridentata has always been an abundant 
species here, I can not understand why it should suddenly become 
so destructive. Might it be due to the great destruction of wood- 
peckers that has been carried on here for years? I have often 
observed the red-headed woodpeckers (and other species) cutting 
out these larve from the trunks of the trees. S. lateralis occurs 
on hickory, puncticollis on Rhus.

TETRAOPES. 
T. canteriator Drap. T. tetraophthalmus Forst. 
This last is the very common “milk weed” beetle. The former 
is quite rare here. The best papers on the “Longicorns,” is 
synopsis of Cerambycidae by Chas. W. Leng, vols. 1, 11, 1, Iv, 
Entomologica Americana and Bull. Brooklyn Ent. Soc., vol. vi. 
This work, which includes Leptura, was supplemented and com- 
pleted in 1896 by Mr. Leng tand Dr. Hamilton, Trans. xxuu1, 
p. to1. The Le Conte and Horn papers, in which were originally 
given many of these synoptic tables, are now out of print and 
unobtainable. The “Longicorns” have always been great favor- 
ites with collectors in all parts of the world. Some of them are 
very beautiful in form as well as color.
