Distribution. This species has a wide distribution in the eastern 

 United States and Canada, since it has been recorded from Canada south 

 to Louisiana, and as far west as Lake Superior and Wisconsin. It also 

 appears in a number of local lists. 



Typocerus velutinus Oliv. 



A black beetle about l /i inch long with brick-red wing covers marked with reddish 

 yellow spots occurs on scrub oak. 



This, one of our more common longicorns, occurs on scrub oak in small 

 numbers at Karner. The beetle measures about l / 2 inch in length. The 

 head and thorax are black, the latter being bordered anteriorly and pos- 

 teriorly, in well marked individuals, by a fringe of golden yellow hairs. 

 The wing covers are brick-red, variously marked with reddish yellow spots, 

 there being two large ones at the basal angle, two on each wing cover 

 at about the basal third, one near the median line and another near the 

 anterior border, and a larger spot at the distal third with a more faintly 

 indicated one near the tip. It is abroad in July. 



This species has been recorded by Dr Smith as common throughout 

 New Jersey and it has been listed by Dr Hamilton from Sparrow lake, 

 Ontario. 



Leptura emarginata Fabr. 

 This large, beautiful longicorn has been found ovipositing in the limbs 

 of white oak by Mr Joutel. 



Gray sided oak weevil 



Pandclctcjas hilar is Herbst. 



A small, grayish weevil from yi to inch long, occurs on oak foliage from May to 

 September, the larva tunneling the wood. 



This species was taken in large numbers on scrub oak at Karner, Sep. 

 1 8, 1 90 1, and was present in greater or less abundance during the summer. 

 It may be separated, according to Dr Horn, from the allied P. cinereus 

 Horn, by the tip of the rostrum being entire and without a smooth space.
