Drake)* is the same species Heidemann described and synon- 
ymizing it with L. constricta Champion® without examination of 
the type of that species is guesswork. As pointed out in my paper 
the species are similar, but specimens from the United States 
differ sufficiently from the figure in the Biologia to make it ad- 
visable to regard the species as distinct. 
The known range of the species covers the territory from 
Massachusetts to South Carolina, and from Indiana to Arkansas. 
Leptostyla oblonga Say. The known range is extended to 
Arkansas. : 
‘Leptostyla heidemanni Osborn and Drake,® is not a synonym 
of L. clitorie Heidemann, but a very distinct species closely re- 
lated to L. oblonga Say.

BREVICOLLIS CSY.* BRED FROM FUNGI.

Ceracis sallei Mellié (Ann. Ent. France, VI, 377). 
This species was described by Mellié in 1848 from specimens 
collected at New Orleans, Louisiana. Casey? in 1898 added North | 
Carolina and Pennsylvania (Westmoreland County) to the dis- 
tribution. Blatchley? records it as rare in Jackson County, In- 
diana, and Dury® in his synopsis states that it is abundant in Ohio 
and ranges in the Eastern United States, from Canada to Texas. 
In Smith’s New Jersey List it is recorded from East Jersey 
(Dietz), Chester and Arlington. Recently it has been found at 
the following additional localities in New Jersey—Springfield,
