NOTES ON THE FUNGOUS BEETLE, CIS CYLINDRICUS 



DURY. 



By Harry B. Weiss, New Brunswick, N. J. 



The following notes relate mostly to the early stages of Cis 

 cylindricus Dury. On February 15, 1920, Mr. Chas. Dury sent 

 me several pieces of the fungus Polyporus versicolor which had 

 been collected in San Francisco, California, and which contained 

 numerous specimens of Cis cylindricus. A few beetles were 

 mounted and the remainder placed in a jar together with some 

 pieces of uninjured fungus and the whole thing overlooked until 

 May 10 at which time eggs, larvae and pupae were secured. The 

 same species was taken from Polyporus versicolor collected by 

 Mr. W. J. Chamberlin at Corvallis, Oregon, in March and from 

 Polyporus hirsutus collected in Linn Co., Oregon, during October. 



All of the larval feeding took place in the context of the fun- 

 gus, the channels extending in all directions but most of them 

 being parallel with the surface of the fungus on account of the 

 thinness of the context. The eggs were found at the ends of bur- 

 rows made in the context and pupation also took place in this 

 part of the fungus, the pupae being found, as a rule, in the basal 

 part. The beetles appeared to feed on both the context and 

 tubes, the only part left untouched being the upper surface of 

 the pileus.
