Definite records of injury by the larch sawfly (Lugaeonematus erichsoni Hartig.) in North America only date back to 1881 when Hagen records the insect from Massachusetts. Horv long it had existed on the continent previous to that date is uncertain, but judging from its distribution at the time it was first reported, we may safely conclude that it had been present for a number of years. There is indeed a significant statement by Audubon in which reference is made to the larches being stripped, by a “green caterpillar some three quarters of an inch in length,” which if referable to this sawfly would take our records back to the beginning of the last century.

Phyllotreta liebecki Schaeffer, described from Florida, and recorded by the writer (Entom. Amer., VIII, n.s., 1927, p. 27) from Louisiana, Texas, and Plummer's Island, Md., has recently been recognized lrom specimens forwarded for identification by Theo. H. Frison, Illinois State Natural History Survey, from Quincy, Ill., June 11-30. 1883, and Grand Tower, Ill., August 6, 1909.

The first list of the crane-flies of Ontario under this general title was published in Canadian Entomologist, vol. 58, pp. 236-240; October 1926. In the present paper more than 80 additional species are recorded, based on the very extensive series of these flies contained in the Canadian National Collection, taken chiefly by Messrs. C. H. Curran, F. P. Ide and G. S. Walley. Species not included in the basic list are indicated by an asterisk (*) preceding the name. The total list of Tipulidae now known from Ontario is in excess of 150 but there are still more than 100 regional species that will undoubtedly be added to the list as a result of further collecting. As before, the collectors are indicated by initials following the record: C.H.C.=C. H. Curran; F.P.I.=F. P. Ide; G.S.W.:G. S. Walley.

My last general paper on Florida Coleoptera was prepared in the autumn of 1924, and appeared in the Canadian Entomologist for July, 1925. Since that was written my time has been largely devoted to the final preparation and publication of the “Heteroptera of Eastern North America.” During the three years which have elapsed I have spent the winters at Dunedin on the west coast of Florida, but have made three additional collecting trips, of three or four weeks each, to Royal Palm Park. One of these was in December, the other two in March and April. This park comprises an area of 4,000 acres lying in extreme southern Florida, about 40 miles northeast of Cape Sable.

The discovery of the forms described below increases greatly the known distribution of Glaresis on the North American continent. In the following descriptions, the middle and hind tibiae have not been described in great detail for their characters are shown by the accompanying drawings; the drawings are made in the same scale.

Melanchroism and leucochroism occur in Notonecta shooterii Uhler. In collections containing fairly good series of this species there will be two color sorts; one, a nearly concolorous pale luteous, and the other, deeply pigmented with violet-black. In a lot of 37 specimens taken in Cochise County, Arizona on July 29, 1927 by the University of Kansas Entomological Expedition 11 specimens are dark and the others are pale. Of these 11 dark ones 9 are females and 2 are males, while of the 26 pale specimens the sex distribution is even, 13 males and 13 females. This lot was captured from one pool.
