One genus of the tribe is rep- ^ resented in Xe\v York, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Texas and probably southern Indiana by the "hick- ory girdler," Onciderex ciiigulata Say, length 1-1- 17 mm., smoln- or reddish-brown to clay-yellow in hue, -with the pubescence usually forming a broad juedian band on elytra, thorax vrith or without a spine on sides, the disk usually with three small ^J^g^ ""'bStieft black facets. The female beetle deposits her eggs in ^. "^e°cutT'fe? twigs of trees and then cuts a girdle about the twig "^'' (Alter Eifey.) below the eegs. (Pig. 467.) The twig dies and is broken off by the wind, falling to the ground where the larva; mature. The beetle oc- curs in August and September and not only girdles the young twigs of hickory, but also those of pear, apple, plum, elm, linden, and other trees. Tribe VII. HIPPOPSINI. Body very slender; front long and inflexed so that the mouth is near the prosternmn; palpi not slender, the last joint almost conical and pointed; eyes coarsely granulated; front coxeb annulated; legs rather short, equal; tarsi as long as the tibiee, first joint of hind pair slightly elongated, last joint rather long, claws divergent. One of the four genera is represented in the State. LXVII. IIiPPOPSi.^ Sorv. (Gr., ";) This genus, sufficiently characterized above, is represented in the eastern United States by a single species. :J001 (0172). lemxiscata Fab., Syst. Eleut. II, ISOl, 330. Elongat
