kind, issued from this table-leaf; the first one coming out twenty 
and the last one twenty-eight years after the trunk was cut 
down.” The proof of the identity of these beetles is not com- 
plete, but Professor Packard thinks they were Cerasphorus balte- 
I find that Eburia guadrigeminata is not given in Hubbard and 
Schwarz’s “ List of Coleoptera found in the Lake Superior re- 
gion,” nor in the “ Contribution to a list of Celeoptera of the 
Lower Peninsula of Michigan,” by the same authors. But in 
Schwarz’s “List of species” of Coleoptera found in Florida, 
Eburia quadrigeminata is mentioned as being “not rare on sugared 
treesin June.” It is not given in LeConte’s “ List of species of 
Eastern New Mexico,” but it is mentioned in his “ List of species 
of Kansas and Nebraska.” In his “New species of North Amer- 
ican Coleoptera,” he refers to it as “the ordinary guadrigeminata 
of the Southern States and the Mississippi valley.” Thus, while 
it is a common enough insect over a large territory, no other case 
of its remarkable longevity seems to have been recorded. On 
comparing it with the other specimens in my collection, the only 
decided points of difference are the smaller size of the lateral 
spines of the prothorax and the terminal spines of the elytra ; and 
the longer antennz which, not exceeding the length of the body 
in the other specimens, are in this one one and a-half times as 
long.— Ferome M’ Neil, Indiana University, Oct. 26, 1886.
