In the present paper I have attempted to bring together all the FoodHabits of North American Rhynchophora (except the Scolytidæ) that have been placed on record in the various entomological publications, with the addition of my personal observations on the subject.

Eugnamptus collaris and E. angustatus I have found plentifully upon the foliage of hickory and butternut trees.

Head rather well developed; palpi exceeding front; tongue moderate, but somewhat varaible in the species. Antennæ of ♂ long, lengthily bipectinated to the tip, a single branch to each side of each joint. Legs short and stout, posterior longest and weakest; spurs normal, but short; claws of tarsi simple.

Some three years or more ago, we noticed a work on the above subject by Marshall and de Nicéville, of which two volumes had been published, the last by de Nicéville alone. A third volume of over 500 compact pages has just come to hand, the most notable thing about which, at least to a dweller in temperate regions, is that it is wholly concerned with the Lycaenidæ, of which eighty-two genera and over four hundred species are described.

Egg.— Nearly, spherical the base flattened a little. Around the sides are eighteen vertical ribs, every other one shorter, not reaching the summit. The natural color could not be ascertained.
