"jy. Plwlisora catuIlus Fab. — Very common ; found from May to Sep- 

 tember ; several broods. 



78. Pholisora hayhurstii Edw. — Common ; flies in company with 

 Catullus and its season is about the same. 



79. Thanaos persius Scud. — Not common ; specimens have been taken 

 the latter part of April and early part of May, and also about the 

 middle of July. All species of Thanaos herein listed have been iden- 

 tified by means of Dyar's "Review of the Hesperiidae of the U. S." in 

 addition to colored plates. 



80. Thanaos hriso Bd.-Lec. — Rare ; occasionally found in the latter 

 part of April and early part of May. 



81. Thanaos martialis Scud. — Fairly common in the latter half of 

 July, and also found (though not so common) in the first half of May. 



82. Thanaos juvcnalis Fab. — Our commonest Thanaos; at least two 

 broods and possibly a third as it has been taken as early as April 3 

 and as late as Sept. 7 and in every month between these excepting July. 



83. Thanaos horatius Scud. -Burg. — Rather rare; specimens have 

 been taken in July and in Sept. & Oct. 



84. Thanaos terentius Scud.-Burg. — Rather common : at least two 

 broods; has been taken in April, May, July, Aug. & Sept., with April 

 29 as the earliest capture and Sept. 25 as the latest. 



85. Hcspcria tcssellaia Scudder. — One of our very common skippers ; 

 on the wing at all times from May till late in October. 



The above list is without doubt incomplete and it is con- 

 fidently expected that it will be materially added to in the 

 future. During the season of 1912 seven species were added 

 to it. they being as follows: C. ismeria, P. vesta, T. calanus, 

 S. titus, E. verna, L. osyka and L. dion, and it seems likely 

 that a dozen or more additional species may be found here. 



Notes on some Beetles Reared from a Dead 

 Elm Stick (Coleop.). 



By Dayton Stoner, State University of Iowa, Iowa City, la. 

 A portion of a small, dead elm seedling which I found lying 

 on my lawn in Iowa City on igth October, IQ12, was on 6th 

 November, 1912, brought to the Natural Science Building of 

 the State University of Iowa and placed in a loose-topped 

 glass jar. This stick was about sixteen inches in length, one 

 and one-half inches in diameter at the base and, in places, the 

 bark had become somewhat loosened from the wood.
