state. This seems to indicate that the tubes are formed in the 

 larvae before transforming ; the connection between the tracheae 

 and the breathing tubes was severed, showing that the larvae 

 use these tubes before changing. 



Mr. Schaeffer spoke of Europs pallipennis taken at Fort Lee, 

 N. J., some years ago, but of which he has since found quite 

 a number of specimens in June, on the gummy excretion of 

 hickory. Specimens were submitted to Mr. Schwarz, who

 species, one related to Saperda tridentata and the other to S. 

 calcarata.
