There are sometimes more than 50 specimens in a single twig of three 
or four inches in length. The beetle may be found at all seasons and 
there are at last three annual generations. 
Scolytus muticus, Say. I end this rare species in Aners! under 
bark of Celtis at Washington, D. C., and at Columbus, Tex. At the 
latter place it occurred in company with S. fag?, Walsh, which is, how- 
ever, much more abundant and greatly destructive to the Hackberry. 
Chramesus Chapuisti, Lec. I obtained this from. twigs of the Pecan 
nut. (Carya olivaeformis) at Columbus, Tex. 
Phleotribus frontahs, Fabr., breeds in large numbers i in . small twigs 
of Hackberry and also bores under the bark of the large limbs of the 
same tree. 
Cnesinus strigicollis, Lec. Cut from dry wigs ofa Bumelia at Co- 
Jumbus, Tex. Near Washington, D. C., it is not rarely, found on twigs 
of freshly felled Oak shrubs. 
Brachytarsus limbatus, os I raised this species spencany from 
the flower heads of Hedlenium tenuifolium at Selma, Ala, From the same 
plant I obtained B. vestitus at Columbus, Tex. 
Brachytarsus variegatus, Say; breeds in the smut. of corn. 
Choragus Sayi, Lec. I cut several specimens near Washington, Dues 
. ~ from thin, dead beech twigs which were infested with fungus growth. 
- -Euxenus piceus, Lec. This, the smallest of our Rhynchophora, . is 
found abundantly in Florida on dry Palmetto leaves, ‘it larva -living, in 
all probability, in the ribs of the leaf. Several specimens of an unde- 
scribed species of Xenorchestes were found under the same conditions by 
Mr. :H..G. Hubbard in southeastern Florida. ie 
ABSTRACT of the PROCEEDINGS > 
of the Entomological Club of the A. A. A. 5S. 
The meetings of the Club were very well attended, some thirty 
gentlemen and ladies having been present; among, them some of our 
best known entomologists. A feature of the meeting was the presence 
of Dr, Jno. G. Morris well known to all Entomologists as one of the 
__ pioneers in American Lepidopterology; to whom we owe .our first cata— 
“logue, and to’ whose efforts we owe also the first: attempt at systematizing 
our lepidopterous fauna. It will no doubt bea pleasure to our readers
