CATALOGUE OF INSECTS. 329 



BOROS Hbst. 

 B. unicolor Say. Palmyra, V (Jn); under pine bark. 



PYTHO Latr. 

 P. americanus Kirby. Palmyra, III (Jn), Palisades, under pine bark. 



SALPINGUS Gyll. 



S. virescens Lee. Orange, VI (Ch), Orange Mts., Newark (Bf); both record 

 the captures at light. 



Family CEDEMERIDiE. 



Long, slender, cylindrical or semi-cylindrical beetles, rarely a little flattened, 

 the head and thorax narrower throughout than the elytra, which latter are 

 somewhat soft in texture, smooth or with fine punctures and silky hair. The 

 antennae are long and slender and the feet have the joint next the last deeply 

 bi-lobed or cleft. The beetles are found on flowers, on foliage and sometimes 

 in crevices ; the larvae have the slender form general in this series, but the 

 head is broader than usual. None of them are economically important. 



MICROTONUS Lee. 



M. sericans Lee. Ft. Lee, So. Orange (Sf), Orange Mts. (Bf ), Newark (Soc), 

 Jamesburg, Atco (Li), Da Costa, Cape May C. H„ V, 28 (W), Anglesea, 

 VII, (Sz). 



NACERDES Schm. 



N. melanura Linn. Throughout the State, but more common near the coast ; 

 not rare in cities, in wood sheds or about cellars. "This species was 

 found in great abundance on an old wreck on the beach at Anglesea, VI, 

 30, varying much in size and color" (W). The species is an imported 

 one. 



XANTHOCHROA Schm. 



X. lateralis Mels. Newark (Soc) : I have not seen the specimen, and the 

 record is open to doubt ; Dr. Horn cites the southern Atlantic region, so 

 the occurrence of the species in New Jersey is not improbable : Mr. 

 Palm records it from Hopatcong. 



ALLOXACIS Horn. 



A. dorsalis Mels. Common along shore from the Atlantic Highlands to Cape 

 May, in or under wet boards, timbers, &c.
