BULL ETLN OF THE BR: VORLYN ENT. SOC. 39 


I remained at Capon Springs, W. Va. from the middle of June to nearly 
the end of August. Insects were not very abundant, and but a few rare 
species were found. Even the fungi which grew plentifully in August failed, 
with the sieve, to give more than two or three Homalotee, some very ordinary 
species of Gyrophzna, and a few Boletobius, and Oxyporus. 
Staphylinus fossator was not rare in fungi. I observed that Cieindela pa- 
truela was double brooded ; the first brood disappeared about the end of 
June, and the second appeared towards the end of August, C. rufiventris ap- 
peared first about the middle of July and remained abundant until the end 
of August. Dicerca was taken in moderate numbers on a persimmon tree 
(Drospyros virginiana) in front of the hotel, from the beginning to the mid- 
dle of July. John L Leconte, M.D. 
I succeeded this year in raising Diezlus elongatus and politus ete. De. 
scription will be given in our next number. F. G. SCHAUPP.
