292 FIFTH REPORT OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL COMMISSION. 
Lepturgts querei (Fitch) has not been proved as yet to live either in 
the oak or hickory, but Mr. Harrington has captured specimens on the 
hickory "either on the bark of felled trees, or among the foliage of 
living ones." Another doubtful hickory species is Hyperplatys aspersus 
(Say) which bores in the poplar, but is not uncommon at Ottawa upon 
the bitter hickory. 
18. Ecyrus dasyeerus (Say). 
This beetle has been bred from hickory twigs by Dr. LeConte. 
The beetle is nearly of the same size and shape as the Leptostylus macula. The pro- 
thorax has slightly rounded sides, without any spines or tubercles. The pubescence 
is close and coarse, the body of brown or grayish brown, somewhat mottled. The 
antenna' are as long, or a little longer, than the body. 
19. Eupogoniii8 rtstitus (Say.) 
Professor Riley has bred this longicorn beetle from the hickory. 
The beetle. — Chestnut-red, mottled with short yellowish pubescence, and clothed 
above with longer dark hairs arising from punctures in the surface. Head and thorax 
darker and more closely punctured than the elytra. The legs and antennae are also 
hairy, the latter being as long as the body. Length 8-9 mm . 
20. Clytanthus albofasciatus Lap. 
According to Dr. John Hamilton of Allegheny, Pa., this beetle has 
been raised both from grape-vines and from hickory limbs. " There are 
two color-forms, produced indiscriminately, that are so different in ap- 
pearance that judged by color alone they would form two species. The 
one is entirely black, with the usual anterior and posterior white bands 
on the elytra; the other is black with the antennae brown; the part of the 
elytra anterior to the posterior white band, the femora, the coxal part of 
the prosternum, the mesosternum and metasternum, rufous. This is ex- 
actly the color of the more plentiful form of Cyrtophorus verrucosus, and it 
is not difficult to confuse them. They may be readily distinguished by 
the compressed thorax and the spines of the antennal joints of the lat- 
ter, as pointed out to me by Dr. Horn. The same color variation oc- 
curs in Psenocerus supernotatus, a few specimens of which, taken on 
the wild gooseberry, were entirely black, except the usual white mark- 
ings on the elytra, and so different is the appearance that it required 
close attention to other characters to be conviuced that they were the 
same species." (Hamilton.) 
21. Jnthaxia viridifrons Gory. 
This handsome little beetle, says Mr. Harrington, was bred from 
hickory twigs by Dr. Le Conte, " and has very frequently been found 
by me upon the trees in summer." (Rep. Ent. Soc. Ontario for 
1883, p. 45.) Mr. F. H. Chittenden has also bred it from a pupa taken 
from a dead branch of shag-bark hickory. (Ent. Amer., v, 210.) 
The beetle.— Brown, with a brouze luster. The front of the head in the males is of 
a vivid green. Length, .2 inch.
