(Page 69.) Chrysobothris chlorocephala is scitula Gory (Horn.) 
(Page 80.) The Oak-bark Weevil, Magdalis olyra Herbst. This would 
seem to be a misnomer. from the fact that this beetle. as is well known, 
breeds more abundantly in deadened and diseased hickory than it does 
in oak. Scolytus 4-spinosus Say. is no doubt often credited with its 
work. 
(Page 81.) Hylecetus americanus Harris is H. lugubris Say. 
(Page 91.) Leptura zebra Oliv. is L. nitens Forst. (Horn). 
(Page 215.) The Acorn Worm, Balaninus rectus Say. This is, with 
our present knowledge, rather a misnomer; for while rectus may infest 
acorns occasionally, it is usually bred from chestnuts and chinguapins. 
According to the records of breeding from nuts and acorns, the follow- 
ing names would be appropriate, if any are requisite: 
The great Chestnut Weevil-worm, Balaninus (caryatrypes) proboscid- 
eus Fabr. 
The smaller Chestnut Weevil-worm JB. rectus Say. (This has also 
been bred once from acorns from Arizona.) 
The Hazel-nut Weevil, B. obtusus Blanch. 
The Hickory-nut Weevil, B. carye Horn. 
The Acorn Weevils, Bb. quercus Horn: B. uniformis Lec.; B. nasicus 
Say. 
Owing to the difficulty of separating the species, the statements of 
observers till recently are of doubtful value when at variance with the 
preceding. Breeding frequently in different parts of the country and 
ascertaining exactly what is bred may give more diversified food habits 
than the foregoing. 
(Page 223.) Dendroides canadensis Latr. is now bicolor, Newm. 
(Page 237.) Galeruca calmariensis Linn. The beetle mentioned by 
Fitch under this name is the preceding, G. canthhomelena Schr., and 
Smith has delineated a variety, probably G. gelatinarie Fab. G. cal- 
mariensis Linn. is not known to occur in North America, and, morecver, 
feeds on aquatic plants. . 
(Page 288.) Stenosphenus notatus Oliv. This beetle breeds in dead 
hickory limbs, requiring two years for its transformation. The larva 
changes to a beetle in the fall, but does not emerge till the spring. 
(Page 293.) Dorcaschema nigrum Say. Breeds abundantly in dead 
hickory limbs and requires two years for its development. The descrip- 
tion is misplaced by the printer, and follows Thysanes fimbricornis. 
(Page 296.) 33. Sinoxylon basilare Say is correctly recorded. 34. Red- 
shouldered Apate, Apate basilaris Say; this is the same as the preced- 
ing, SN. basilare. é; 
(Page 327.) The Hickory-nut Weevil, Balaninus nasicus Say. This is 
a misnomer, as a correctly determined B. nasicus has never been re- 
corded as bred from the nuts of the hickory. The species which dep- 
redates on hazel-nuts is B. obtusus Blanch., not described at the time 
Mr. Harrington published the article cited.
