found four specimens of tbis rare insect between the
above dates. Its rarity may be attributed to the late-
ness of its occurrence. Few entomological excursions
arc made at this season, Avhich may account for its
Doing heretofore overlooked. Dr. LeConte, in a letter
says : " I am glad to learn that you have found two
more specimens of S. arctatus ; it is a very interest-
ing insect, and was known to me previous to receiving
your specimen, only by fragments which I cut out of a
dead tioc at I -akc Superior. The subsequent reception
