134 MISCELLANEOUS FOREST INSECTS. 



SUBDIVISION B. 



L. folitus Kraus. — Temporarily introduced into tlie District of 

 Columbia, probably from northern Spain or Italy, from whicli the 

 commercial product of licorice is exported. 



L. hrunneus (Stephens). — Paraguay, Brazil, Cuba, and Mexico. 

 This evitlently indicates the natural range of the species, from which it 

 has probably been introduced and become established in Europe, Asia, 

 Africa, and Australia. It has been recorded from South Carolina, 

 from Philadelphia, Pa., and from Chicago, 111., which probably rep- 

 resent temporary introductions, although it is not at all improbable 

 that it may become permanently established in the Gulf States, 

 especially in Florida and Texas. 



L. ])ubescens Panzer. — Recorded as common in southern and mid- 

 dle Europe, which may be its natural distribution. 



SUBDIVISION C. 



Section a3. 



Stthsection hi. 



L. opaculus Le Conte. — Michigan, Iowa, Nebraska, Ohio, Long 

 Island and Staten Island, N. Y., District of Columbia, and North 

 Carolina. This probably represents the natural distribution, and 

 since the species lives in natural growth it is not likely to be distrib- 

 uted out of its natural range. 



Subsection h2. 



L. suturalis Faldermann. — Caucasus, southern Russia. 



L. cavicollis Le Conte. — California, several localities, with doubtful 



record from Oregon. 



Section a4. 



L. cinereus Blanchard. — Chile. 



L. planicollis Le Conte. — Arizona, Nevada, Texas, and the Gulf 

 and South Atlantic States. This range probably represents the natu- 

 ral distribution of the species, but it is frequently introduced tempo- 

 rarily into the Northern and Middle States and evidently into other 

 countries, since there is a definite record from Capetown, South 

 Africa, in lumber from the southern United States. This species is 

 evidently derived from one or more subtropical forms, of which L. 

 earlonarius is a representative. 



L. carhonarius Waltl. — Mexico and Florida. This species is evi- 

 dently distinct from L. 'planicoUis, as indicated by a large series not 

 observed by Mr. Kraus, which had been reared by Mr. H. G. Hub- 

 bard from winter-killed bamboo in Florida. The specimens from 

 Florida and Mexico are readily distinguished from average speci- 

 mens of pJanicoUis by their more reddish color but otherwise agree
