 states that " Mr. Wickham has found the species in some abundance 

 on Desmodium in Iowa City." Catolaccus incertus Ashm. was reared 

 with this species. 



Apion herculanum Sm. was reared July 2-1-28 from the dried fruit 

 of sheepberry (Viburnum lentago), and beetles were taken in the 

 same locality, Marshall Hall, Md., in May on V. aceri folium in bloom. 

 At Ithaca, X. Y., it was taken in fair abundance on the flowers of 

 this same plant, collected Ma}^ 28, June 5-20, and July 2-6 several 

 years previously. Mr. Schwarz informs the writer that he has 

 reared the species also from dogwood (Cornus sp.).
