The three North American species of this genus are frequent upon dry 

 carrion, and since they are readily transported and easily maintain them- 

 selves for some time under varying climatic conditions they are likely to 

 be found almost anywhere within our limits. For this reason, it does not 

 seem worth while to record the numerous localities represented. 



N. RUFIPES Fahr. This species was brought to Iowa City some years 

 ago, in a collection of natural history specimens from Cuba, and was fairly 

 common about the Museum for a long time. It seems to have died out, 

 however. 



N. RUFicoLLis Fahr. 



X. viOLACEA Linn. The habits of the last two are practically the same 

 as in jV, rufipes.
