this is especially noticeable in joints 7 and 9. There is a 
still more decided tendency for joints 6 and 8 to become 
entirely yellow, this condition being especially true as 
regards joint 8. 
Dr. Felt (1906, p. 670) reports this lepturid as breeding ~ 
in spruce and hemlock and the author has taken it from 
spruce. 
Other Lepturids. In addition to the Lepturids listed 
above, all of which were collected in 1917, there are a number 
of other species taken other years which should be men- 
tioned. 
Acmeops directa Newn. Four specimens of this lepturid 
were taken from the flowers of wild spirwa and other blos- 
soms during the third week in July, 1914. Considerable 
variation in color is noticeable in these specimens. 
Bellanura scalaris Say. But one specimen of this striking 
insect has been taken by me in the vicinity of Elka Park 
and this was obtained from spirzea bloom during the third 
week in July, 1914. This insect habitually breeds in yellow 
birch (Packard, 1890, p. 486). Large numbers of the larve, 
pup and newly transformed adults were found in a birch log 
in the region of Cranberry Lake, N. Y., in July, 1917, by 
Prof. C. J. Drake of this Department. 
Leptura subhamata Rand. Two males of this species were 
collected July 23, 1914, from wild spirwa near Elka Park. 
Wickham (1897, p. 192) reports it as having been taken 
in a beech log. 
Leptura subargentata Kirby. Seven specimens of this 
species were taken in July, 1914, four from flowers (prob- 
ably spirea, but notes do not specify) and three taken on the 
wing and upon felled balsam near the top of Twin Mountain. 
Leptura circumdata Oliv. Four specimens of this species 
were obtained from spirza blossoms July 23, 1914. Prof. 
C. J. Drake reports having cut an adult of this species from 
a spruce log near Cranberry Lake in July, 1917.
