228 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. 



BRONTES Fabr. 



B. dubius Fabr. Reported from all parts of the State. 



B. debilis Lee. Hudson Co. (LI): it is not improbable that some of my 

 records for dubius should really refer to this species. Capt. Casey sepa- 

 rates the two and states that the former is southern, while debilis is the 

 common northern species. 



TELEPHANUS Er. 



T. velox Hald. Throughout the State under stones and old leaves sifted out, 

 I, 28, by Mr. Wenzel from old leaves, &c, gathered at Westville. 



Family CRYPTOPHAGIDiE. 



Small clavicorn beetles living in fungi and decomposing vegetable matter : 

 of no economic importance. Yellow to blackish in color, flattened beneath, 

 not very covex above, sometimes banded. 



The species are not commonly collected and yet less known : several species 

 of Atomatia and Cryptophagus will undoubtedly be added.
