Oct., 1917 Bulletin of the Brooklyn Entomological Society 93 



Lake Sebago and about thirty miles from Portland, hilly, but not 

 mountainous, with an abundance of pine and white birch, oak 

 conspicuously absent. Numerous portable saw mills, while not 

 adding to the beauty of the country, were great aids to the spe- 

 cialist in Buprestidse and Cerambycidae. 



With the exception of the common Rhagium lineatum, taken 

 as early as May i, there were no captures in the two families 

 until about May 15. Snow was still to be seen in shaded valleys. 

 May 15 I took my first specimen of the rare Anthophilax mala- 

 chiticus, and from then collecting was excellent, reaching its best 

 during the last week in June. The list of captures : 



Chalcophora fortis Lee. July 13 a^single one flying along shore 

 of Lake Sebago. 



C. virginiensis var. lacustris Lee. June 7-July 12. Not rare. 

 Taken almost every favorable day on the trunk of a dead but 

 still standing pine. None from prostrate logs. 



C. liberta Germ. June 28-July 13. All but one flying over 

 Lake Sebago July 13, a very warm sunny day. Would light on 

 bath houses and be easily picked off. 



Dicerca divaricata Say. June 22. 



D. divaricata var. caudata Lee. July 9. 



D. prolongata Lee. Two specimens June 2-26. 



D. punctulata Sch. June 26. Not common. 



D. tenebrosa var. chrysea Melsh. June 24- July 6. Half a 

 dozen on dead standing tree trunks. None from fallen logs. 



Buprestis striata var. impolita Say. This is the green form, 

 which is northeastern. The true striata is uniformly coppery 

 brown and ranges from New York to Florida. 



Melanophila fulvoguttata Harris. June. Very abundant 



Chrysobothris dentipes Germ. June. Common on pine logs. 



C. scabripennis Lap. & Gory. June. Occurs with dentipes, 

 even more abundant, but very active and hard to catch. 



C. harrisii Hentz. June 2-July 6. This beautiful species quite 

 locally common, lighting on the smaller twigs of fallen pines. 

 Very active, seen only on sunny days. 



Agrihis acutipennis Mann. June 28. Two specimens. 



A. ruficollis Fab. June-July. 



A. politus Say. July 11.
